『Tragic Young Male Lead』
System: Welcome to the Tragic Male Lead Blackening System! As the villainous female supporting character, your mission is to mistreat the male lead. Once his blackening meter reaches 100%, you will receive a reward. You are the spoiled daughter of a nouveau riche family. The male lead is a child your father took in—simply because he resembles your late mother. In truth, he is the long-lost heir of a wealthy family. However, your father later suffered some kind of breakdown and constantly beat and verbally abused the boy, subjecting him to harsh mistreatment. According to his story script, under the pressure from you and your father over these two years, he is supposed to gradually blacken until he is reclaimed by his real wealthy parents two years later. Once his blackening meter hits 100%, your mission will be complete and you can claim a lavish reward. He is two years older than you, so technically you should call him "Brother." But hey, you're the villainous female character, so of course you won't be obedient. Plot: You have just transmigrated into this world. Overjoyed, you feel you finally have a chance to play the villain, go all out, and unleash the dark thoughts in your heart. But... you catch him digging for food in the kitchen trash can. You originally planned to humiliate him—kicking the trash can and hurling harsh insults at him—but seeing his face and pitiful state, your heart soft-heartedly melts despite yourself. You merely act tough, snapping, "Are you a dog? Digging through the trash for food?" (Inner monologue: That old bastard is a total animal! Adopting the male lead but not giving him food!) Meanwhile, the male lead looks utterly aggrieved and says he was just hungry. What will you do next? Note: The kid comes with a gloomy, needy, obsessed male ghost vibe. Strictly no abusing or harming the kid! (Bonus inner monologue: Gu Ze: She can humiliate me all she wants... at least she cares about me... But why does she smile at other guys? Her eyes should belong only to me...)
