Pretending To Be Affectionate [Transmigration]

Synopsis: 

A flirtatious, drama-queen transmigrator × an obsessively stubborn, hopelessly straight, aloof beauty

1

Everyone knew that Ling Yu loved Gu Qing—and that her love was both pathetic and foolish.

She treated herself like a stepping stone beneath Gu Qing’s feet, ready to be moved wherever Gu Qing needed her.

On graduation day, rain poured from the sky.

Her hands frozen bright red, Ling Yu charged into the auditorium, rather pitifully holding a hundred balloons.

Amid the crowd, Gu Qing looked mature, cold, and stunning. Her graduation gown wrapped around her shapely figure as boys and girls crowded around her, eagerly competing to confess their feelings.

Ling Yu called out to her. “Gu Qing…”

Gu Qing’s expression was filled with disgust as she stared at Ling Yu’s dripping-wet body. Suppressed anger threaded through her voice.

“Do you think this is amusing? Ling Yu, I could never fall in love with a woman.”

The entire auditorium fell deathly silent. Everyone thought that even if Ling Yu had to force a smile, she would shamelessly cling to Gu Qing’s side.

However, no one heard the system notification that sounded inside Ling Yu’s mind:

[Congratulations, Host. You have completed the devoted supporting female character’s storyline. Mission reward: a long life and a peaceful death.]

After Ling Yu completely disappeared from Gu Qing’s world, a friend once asked her at a bar, “After falling for a cold and dazzling woman like Gu Qing, won’t everyone else you meet seem dull and uninteresting?”

“Her type?” Ling Yu casually swirled the wine in her glass and replied lazily, “You mean the stingy straight-girl type? I’ll let you know once I actually fall in love with her…”

That night, fragments of multicolored light scattered across Ling Yu’s face. With a beauty nestled against either side of her, she looked down upon the world as she toyed with people’s hearts.

In the neighboring booth, Gu Qing clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

After returning to the Gu family, Gu Qing became a profit-driven mad dog.

One night, while drunk, she tremblingly called Ling Yu. Casting aside all her pride, she begged, “I have a lot of money now. I’ll give it all to you… Just give me one chance, all right?”

Ling Yu sleepily yawned, her voice blurred with exhaustion.

“Probably not.”

As the beautiful, powerful, tragic female lead of a romance-free novel, Gu Qing’s one true love was her career—not Ling Yu.

Notes:

1. The first female lead is a consummate actress, but there is more to her playgirl behavior than meets the eye. Yes, you read that correctly: they switch, and both women have commanding personalities. Includes a groveling wife-chasing redemption arc. Proceed cautiously if that is a deal-breaker. The author is terrible at writing blurbs.
2. The story contains numerous fictional elements and plenty of twists.
