Quick Transmigration: Flirting With the Female Lead Every Day - Chapter 1

Chapter 1

When Su Mu learned that she had already died, her heart was actually free of regrets. This life had been lonely and without anyone to rely on; living was tedious anyway. Perhaps by returning her soul to the underworld and entering the Yellow Springs, she could be reincarnated again into a family that suited her.

Su Mu waited for the so-called Soul-Hooking Messenger, but a sudden burst of light appeared before her eyes and swept her soul away.

While being sucked through the light tunnel, a thing calling itself a “System” said she needed to travel through various worlds to play the role of the female supporting character, woo the female lead, and complete a series of “serious” (shameless) tasks. Since Su Mu was already dead and had no lingering attachments, she agreed.

“Host, the main mission of this world is to max out the female lead’s favorability and make her fall in love with you. The daily mission is that you must flirt with the female lead every day—it could be kissing, holding hands, hugging, or verbal flirting.”

This requirement made Su Mu dazed for a moment. She hadn’t expected the tasks to be like this. Su Mu had lived for twenty-seven years and felt nothing for men; she had once suspected she was a lesbian, but she had never fallen for a girl either.

“Host, the world you are about to be deployed into is a campus world. You will be the female supporting character, Su Mu. To help you adapt to the role, the character’s name and appearance will be the same as yours. The tropes in this novel are complete! NOT! LIKE! typical campus novels! The male lead doesn’t like cold little white lotuses; he likes unruly heiresses. The standard traits of the female lead and supporting character are completely reversed, so be prepared during deployment. Whatever you do, don’t break character…” The System flipped through this vulgar novel, not even deigning to tell the host its name. What kind of messy nonsense was this…

“Mm, I definitely won’t (will) break character.” Given another chance at life, why live conventionally and follow this so-called “character persona”?

“I… don’t know.” Su Mu had just recovered from the side effects of the deployment when she found the girl next to her standing up, stammering that she didn’t know the answer.

Su Mu squinted at the girl. She had sleek, jet-black long hair falling over her shoulders. Although her eyes were darting around in embarrassment, they were still bright, as if sunlight were dancing inside them. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, like lovely butterflies fluttering, making the girl appear very lively and cute.

How nice… Hearing the teacher ask the question again, Su Mu used a felt-tip pen to underline the answer in the textbook and moved the book within the girl’s line of sight, only to be caught off guard by the System’s notification sound.

“Ding… Female lead’s favorability -5, currently at -10. A pretentious person.”

Su Mu raised an eyebrow, surprised that this cute girl was the female lead, and equally surprised by her unfriendly attitude.

“Host, although the plot has only just begun, the female lead Ling Wei’s favorability toward the supporting character is already negative. This is because back when the male and female leads had a fight, the male lead pretended to date you for a while. When they got back together later, he never explained, so you’ve been labeled as a ‘seductive slut’ who hits on the male lead…”

Su Mu’s hand holding the pen paused. Since the male lead was such trash to the original character, stealing this girl away from him could be considered both a punishment for him and a consolation for the original character. After all, how could such a cute girl be pushed into the tiger’s mouth?

Even though the favorability was negative, Su Mu’s long-standing indifference remained. She still had to pretend to be happy while doing the tasks…

Su Mu passed a note to Ling Wei and took the opportunity to secretly poke Ling Wei’s waist. After reading the note, Ling Wei couldn’t help but turn around and roar: “Su Mu, are you sick?!”

Despite being yelled at, Su Mu nodded cheerfully in agreement, which made Ling Wei even angrier, her breath catching in her chest.

“Ling Wei, Su Mu! In the classroom, you should act like students! What’s with all the noise during class time!” The homeroom teacher, seeing their little movements, called them out by name.

Hearing the teacher, Ling Wei didn’t dare say anything more despite her anger. She clutched the note in her hand, planning to use it as evidence to deal with Su Mu after class.

“Ding… Female lead’s favorability -5, currently -15. What a sick, seductive slut.”

So she got angry just like that; truly just a young girl.

The System silently pitied the female lead for a second. To encounter such a wicked person, you’ll just have to endure it…

“Ding… Daily flirting task completed. 10 points.”

“System, you really are ‘fair.’ For favorability to drop this much just to do a task, and you only give this little?”

“Hehe, I think so too. I should be able to make it onto this year’s ‘Most Fair System’ annual list…”

“Nothing to fuck-ing say.”

After school, Su Mu wasn’t in a hurry to grind favorability. Since the favorability was negative, without some heavy-duty moves, it would only get lower. For now, she just needed to wait for an opportunity.

However, when she followed the System’s prompts back to the supporting character’s home, Su Mu nearly had a breakdown. Although she had struggled on her own in her past life, she had relied on her own strength to buy an apartment; though not large, it wasn’t as destitute as this. It was so small that it felt painful just to turn around. Does a campus novel’s supporting character really live this poorly?

“Hehe, didn’t I say the traits were swapped? And to earn living expenses, you have to work as a platform girl at a bar at night, and tutoring on the weekends…” Seeing Su Mu’s face grow darker and darker, the System’s voice instinctively grew weaker. After all, it was the one who picked this role for her, though it absolutely could not tell the host that.

“No father, no mother, and no money. What else does this character have?” Thinking about the miserable life ahead, Su Mu’s mental state was crumbling.

“She has things! She really has!”

“Speak…”

“Hehe, Host, the character also has an illness.”

“……Are you serious?”

“Really, because of long-term malnutrition, the character is anemic!” A certain stupid System thought it had answered brilliantly and was silently feeling proud.

“……”

The next day, Su Mu walked into the classroom and found her classmates looking at her with strange eyes, something akin to… schadenfreude?

Walking forward, she found an exquisite bento on her desk. Inside were two golden fried eggs, shaped like hearts, with “Yun” and “Mu” written on top in cream. The craftsmanship and creativity were truly childish.

Under Ling Wei’s gaze, which looked like it wanted to slice her to pieces, Su Mu took a chopstick and poked through the fried egg that said “Yun.” Seeing the yolk flow out, the disgust in her eyes was palpable. She slammed the lid shut and threw it directly into the trash. It looked nauseating and killed her appetite; moreover, at the thought of the male lead using her again as an emotional catalyst, Su Mu’s heart was filled with stampeding “grass-mud horses” (f-bombs).

Ling Wei was stunned by Su Mu’s actions. How could this seductive slut reject Brother Yun’s love-filled breakfast? Was she playing hard to get? Thinking this, her hatred for Su Mu deepened yet another level.

“Ding… Female lead’s favorability -5, currently -20. A seductive slut playing hard to get.”

“Meaning everything I do is wrong? Can this life even go on?”

“Cough… actually, you can’t blame the female lead. After all, this is the author’s arrangement. As long as the female lead encounters anything related to the male lead, her IQ drops to negative. Actually, the female lead is a ‘red-blooded successor of socialism.'”
