I Just Want to Spoil and Run Away with the Abused Female Lead [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 7

This world was not particularly accepting of homosexuality.

Even in high society, while some individuals had same-sex preferences, almost none of them were open about it. The older generation held onto outdated and conservative views, even considering such matters shameful.

If any family were to be embroiled in such a scandal, both the individual and their family would face immense embarrassment within their social circles.

To be honest, Shi Xingrao didn’t want Lin Shuangran to face such troubles on her behalf, especially without knowing Lin Shuangran’s sexual orientation. If Lin Shuangran wasn’t attracted to women, Shi Xingrao had no intention of forcing her to change.

Shi Xingrao: “Duoduo, use the ‘Tongue-Tied’ card on Lu Ze and set the blocked keywords to anything related to homosexuality.”

“Also, use the ‘Hands Tied’ card with the same blocked keywords.”

After using two four-star cards, Shi Xingrao had effectively eliminated the possibility of Lu Ze revealing Lin Shuangran’s feelings to others.

Lin Shuangran had the right to like girls and to let others know that the person she loved was a girl. But such revelations should only happen if Lin Shuangran herself was willing to share them not through anyone else’s interference.

Coming out on one’s own terms and being outed by someone else were two entirely different things.

From the moment they entered the room, Cat Ears had been busy collecting emotional points to draw cards and executing Shi Xingrao’s commands. Only when it finally had a moment to spare did it realize something seemed off.

Even the cards being used were the ones drawn yesterday.

Initially, Cat Ears had thought Lu Ze’s phone call was just a coincidence, and the subsequent events were merely accidental. But Shi Xingrao’s actions had been meticulously planned at every step.

Cat Ears: “Sis, when did you start planning to take down Lu Ze?”

Shi Xingrao answered truthfully, “Last night.”

A chill ran down Cat Ears’ spine. It felt as though calling Shi Xingrao a prophetic genius wouldn’t be an exaggeration. Moreover, it couldn’t shake the feeling that Shi Xingrao’s earlier remark that Lu Ze would soon find himself in dire straits wasn’t just an empty threat.

Shi Xingrao couldn’t help but retort, “You idiot! Sister Lin’s worth was never about marriage alliances. She loves dancing, and she’s incredibly skilled and professional at it.”

“You have no idea in just three years abroad, Sister Lin has swept numerous world-class modern dance awards. Considering a dancer’s peak years, she’s bound to become a world-renowned dancer in the future.”

“Shining on stage is Sister Lin’s true value. Her dreams are what truly matter to her.”

“Only a fool like you would think someone’s worth has to be validated through others.”

Lin Shuangran looked up at the young girl, a faint smile gradually spreading across her lips. Since childhood, she had been taught that, as the eldest daughter of the Lin family, her every action reflected the family’s dignity. The greatest contribution she could make to her family was an outstanding marriage alliance to enhance the Lin family’s standing.

But she had never agreed with that.

Shi Xingrao blinked at Lin Shuangran and asked, “Sister, am I right?”

Lin Shuangran: “Absolutely.”

Lin Shuangran: “Lu Ze, I won’t be threatened by you. If you want to continue being despicable, go ahead and tell my father and stepmother.”

Lu Ze wanted to say more, but his mouth seemed sealed shut not a single word could escape.

As the farce came to an end, an unfamiliar mechanical voice suddenly echoed in the room.

[Ding dong~ Congratulations to No. 101892 for accumulating 1,000 points of gacha emotion value. Card exchange permissions are now unlocked~]

Shi Xingrao: “? 101892?”

Cat Ears: “Host is the 101,892nd quick transmigrator, hence the number 101892.”

Cat Ears: “Host, you’re truly amazing to receive an announcement from the main system. With such an outstanding host like you, I’ll be able to swagger around the system from now on.”

Shi Xingrao remained silent. If even the main system had issued a notification, it seemed previous hosts truly never exchanged cards.

But even without card exchanges, these rules couldn’t have appeared out of thin air.

A faint suspicion began forming in Shi Xingrao’s mind, and she intuitively felt that whoever dragged her into this quick transmigration world likely bore no ill will toward her.

Simultaneously, on the long-dormant main god’s space screen, a video of Shi Xingrao enumerating the female lead’s achievements appeared.

The main god’s space screen typically displayed only exceptionally outstanding performance clips. The energy values from Shi Xingrao’s segment were skyrocketing a high-energy performance not seen in the main god’s space for nearly a decade.

Numerous systems quickly copied the video, planning to review it with their hosts to study clearance strategies.

One system with missing data stared blankly at the screen footage, unable to recover for a long while. It couldn’t shake the feeling of having witnessed similar scenes before fragments deconstructed like light and shadows, ultimately dissolving into blue data chains.

Shi Xingrao gazed absently as Lin Shuangran made phone calls, every conversation revolving around her. Lin Shuangran was pulling resources for her.

After finishing the final call, Lin Shuangran smiled at Shi Xingrao. Her smiles always carried a warmth that felt comforting and heart-stirring.

“All done. No one can blacklist you now.”

Shi Xingrao tugged at the hem of Lin Shuangran’s bathrobe, looking up to meet her warm gaze. “Sister, have you never suspected I might be deceiving you?”

Lin Shuangran paused briefly before sitting down to meet Shi Xingrao at eye level. “I have wondered. But what if you got blacklisted because of me? I can’t jeopardize your future over my own doubts. So, is Raorao deceiving me?”

Shi Xingrao’s heart suddenly skipped two beats. “Duoduo, she really is like a little sun.”

Cat Ears: “…Wasn’t this exactly what you planned?”

Shi Xingrao: “Planning it and actually experiencing Lin Shuangran treating me this way are completely different.”

Even though she had calculated everything, being genuinely enveloped in Lin Shuangran’s saintly radiance felt entirely distinct, far more convincing than simply hearing “I believe you.”

At this moment, Shi Xingrao wasn’t surprised that Lu Ze would like Lin Shuangran. Such warmth was irresistible Lin Shuangran’s kindness possessed a quality that could guide lost souls back to the right path.

Except this warmth would no longer belong to Lu Ze in the future.

Shi Xingrao blinked her sparkling eyes. “Of course I’m not deceiving you, sister. He really did say he would blacklist me.”

Shi Xingrao: “But are you really going to invest in me? My acting isn’t great. If you fund my entry into the production, I might make you lose everything.”

Cat Ears: “…”

So only she herself could criticize her poor acting skills?

Lin Shuangran: “Whether we lose everything doesn’t matter. As long as Raorao is happy.”

It was clear that Lin Shuangran’s words resonated deeply with Shi Xingrao’s own beliefs.

“It feels different when you spend your own money versus when someone else spends it on you.”

Shi Xingrao sat in the dressing room, preparing for the variety show that Lin Shuangran had arranged for her through a friend.

Cat Ears didn’t quite understand. “What’s the difference? Spending money is spending money.”

Shi Xingrao’s beautiful eyes blinked gently. Today, her hairstyle was a hime cut, giving her an angelic face, but her smile carried a hint of mischief. “Right now, it feels like I have someone backing me up.”

Cat Ears: “…”

When she stepped on stage and saw two familiar faces, Shi Xingrao let out a soft, “Oh?”

The live chat, however, exploded.

[Who is this? I don’t recognize her at all. How did some unknown with connections get on this show?]

[Wow, I had no idea there was someone like this in the entertainment industry. Did she just parachute in?]

[She must be some industry plant with backing. Otherwise, how could I not know about someone who looks like this?]

[It’s this industry plant who stole my sister’s opportunity. I absolutely despise people like her!]

[Get lost, industry plant! I’m here to watch Yiyi and President Lu fall in love, not to watch some nobody being shoved down our throats by the capital!!!]

Cat Ears connected Shi Xingrao to the live chat, allowing her to see the comments in real time.

Shi Xingrao blinked. So Lu Ze was still busy with his romance? But it was obvious that Lu Ze and Gu Yi were so engrossed in their relationship that neither of them noticed her.

[She’s walking toward Lu Ze. She’s not really here to steal him from our Yiyi, is she?]

[My poor Yiyi is so pitiful. She’s been with President Lu for so long, and just recently, news broke about some “white moonlight” from his past.]

[What do you all know? It’s been three years with Yiyi by President Lu’s side. That white moonlight and President Lu are impossible.]

[Exactly! So what if the white moonlight comes from a wealthy family? So what if they’re a perfect match? They’re impossible!]

[What white moonlight? She’s nothing but a third wheel!]

[Oh no, that industry plant is trying to cozy up to our President Lu! She’s standing right behind him now.]

A slight curve lifted the corner of Shi Xingrao’s lips. That’s right. My target is your precious President Lu.
