From Dog to Goddess: My CEO Ex's Afterlife Regret - Chapter 3

Four years ago, due to a car accident, I unexpectedly transmigrated into this novel and became the female protagonist, Bai Yashu.

Suddenly, a system appeared in my mind, telling me that as long as I completed the tasks, I could return to the real world.

And my task was to win over the male lead, Meng Yichen.

In the novel, the male and female leads’ parents were family friends, and the two grew up as childhood sweethearts.

Unfortunately, when the female lead was four, her parents died in an accident, so Meng Yichen’s parents adopted her.

“Doesn’t the female lead have grandparents? Why bother others?” I was quite puzzled.

[This is a novel, not reality! For the sake of plot conflict, it has to be arranged this way.] My system reprimanded.

“Alright.”

Growing up under the same roof, the male and female leads gradually developed feelings for each other, but never broke through the barrier between them.

After going through various melodramatic plots, they finally gathered the courage to accept each other and bravely fell in love.

“Wait, since they already have mutual feelings in the plot, why do I still need to win over the male lead?”

[Why do you have so many questions?]

“My math teacher said that before solving a problem, you must first understand it.”

[…

[Because the plot and character settings in the novel are just a shell over the characters, not their true nature. Due to various unstable factors in the novel world, their true nature will gradually pierce through this shell, disrupting the original plot direction.]

“What are these unstable factors? For example?”

[For example, the male lead’s growing environment doesn’t necessarily make him a devoted and passionate domineering CEO; more likely, he becomes a lazy, promiscuous rich second-generation playboy.]

“Oh~ so my job is to make the male lead love only me exclusively, and then complete the plot.”

[Correct, you are teachable.]

“It’s all thanks to Teacher Tongzi.”

[Alright, start your strategy. The strategy time is two years; within two years, you must make the male lead fall in love with you and complete all important plots.]

“Why two years?”

[The exam time is over, please start answering the questions!]

“Wait, wait! Please, Brother Tongzi! You are the best Tongzi I’ve ever met!”

[You’ve met other Tongzis?]

“No, no, never met, you are the best teacher I’ve ever met!”

[Because the novel’s ending is two years later.]

“Oh, okay, thank you, Teacher Tongzi!”

And so, I embarked on a long two-year journey of strategy.

At first, I followed the plot direction to interact with Meng Yichen, who pampered me in every way under the guise of being an elder brother, gentle and considerate.

Gradually, I myself became deeply immersed in his affection, even thinking everything was going smoothly.

However, the system suddenly reminded me that the strategy progress was stuck at 90%, and the plot hadn’t been completed.

“Why?”

[One aspect is still not full: exclusivity.]

“What does that mean?”

[It means he still has a risk of cheating.]

Sure enough, I accidentally saw him holding another glamorous woman entering a hotel.

I cried and confronted him, and he told me he was just accompanying a client.

Later, he seemed to change into a different person.

He became selfish and promiscuous, frequently visiting various business clubs, as if he really became a reckless rich second-generation.

I tried hard to keep him in my grasp, to make him love only me, but what I got in return was his gradually cold and distant attitude.

Until finally, he left me with a indifferent remark: “Bai Yashu, don’t even think about it, legally speaking, we are siblings, that’s an undeniable fact.”

When the two-year deadline arrived, the system declared my task a failure, and the punishment was to erase my identity as Bai Yashu, leaving me to continue in this world with a different identity.

“Why not just let me stay in Bai Yashu’s body?”

[Because readers now love to see the pursuit and regret of the male lead! Bai Yashu’s death means they can see more of the male lead’s love and longing.]

“Oh, I see, so I really have no chance to return to the real world?”

[It’s almost over, why do you still have so many questions?]

“Just one last one, really.”

[Sigh, alright, alright, considering my kind-hearted nature, I’ll answer your last question.

[The strategy exists only for the plot, erasing Bai Yashu is also for the plot; if a better plot emerges, then the task is considered successful.

[Please start enjoying your new life!]
