Twisted Umbilical Cord

I was a sickly little thing.

The year Huo Ci hated me the most, the Crown Prince of the Beijing Elite Circle was forcibly bound to the System and made to act as my male mom.

Through gritted teeth, he said, “You’re the Female Lead. If I don’t win you over, I’ll die!”

I didn’t want to trouble him.

So I secretly worked part-time jobs to pay him back.

But Huo Ci was punished by the System, and one of his legs was broken.

He cursed me viciously, “You won’t let me take care of you, won’t spend my money, won’t eat the food I make-is this you trying to get the System to kill me?!”

I didn’t dare run away again.

But on the eve of our wedding, the real System appeared and said Huo Ci had been pursuing the wrong person.

“Is Huo Ci blind or what? You’re this ugly. How could you be the Female Lead?”

I gave a bitter smile and nodded.

Then I obeyed its arrangement and faked my death.

Later, however, I saw that elegant, beautiful man fall apart, raise a gun, and shoot the System full of holes.

“You goddamn thing!”

“You think I didn’t know she wasn’t the Female Lead? Mind your own damn business, you bitch!”

“I worked my ass off raising my baby all this time-where the hell did you send her?!”
