"So, Host, do you want to receive the new plot now?" the system inquired.
"Transmit it!" Lin Yan said listlessly.
The new plot was transmitted. In this plot, the female protagonist was occupied by a transmigrator. Upon realizing she had transmigrated into the protagonist of a substitute novel she had read,
She was dissatisfied with the protagonist's experiences, so she chose to become the white moonlight that the original host was.
She replicated the original host's path to fame and then became everyone's darling in place of the original host.
Unlike the original host, who was half an otaku, the new protagonist was more enthusiastic and outgoing, serving as a little sun in everyone's hearts.
Furthermore, she was not as clueless about the entertainment industry as the original host. Because she was a fan, she was very familiar with the rules of this circle.
The protagonist thrived in this circle, coupled with the admiration of a string of suitors. She quickly became popular. kanδん
She obtained the best resources and assembled the optimal team. However, because she felt this fate was stolen, she constantly suppressed the original host using her influence.
Currently, the original host's father's company went bankrupt and incurred debts, also due to the protagonist's suitors.
She meticulously blocked all avenues that could have led to the original host's success.
Seeing the original host having to become her substitute due to her father's debt and signing the substitute contract, she felt immensely gratified.
There was no need to elaborate on the rest. The protagonist did not choose the male lead from the original novel but opted for someone wealthier, more powerful, and handsome.
The person currently supporting the original host was not the male lead from the original novel, but another simpering follower of the protagonist.
Fortunately, being a mere follower, he only asked the original host to learn and imitate the protagonist to remain faithful to his goddess, without actually harming her.
However, while the protagonist shone brightly in the entertainment industry, the original host, under such imitation and suppression, completely lost herself.
But now that she was here, this situation would not happen again. With this thought, Lin Yan sat up from the sofa and took out a contract from under the coffee table.
She smiled faintly as she looked at the terms and conditions of the contract.
"Host, why should she make you her substitute? Your achievements in previous worlds alone could completely overshadow her!"
The system felt indignant on Lin Yan's behalf. Its host was an object of admiration in all worlds; how could she become the substitute for such a thief?
"You also said it was previous worlds. I'm using the original host's body now, and I can't use things the original host wouldn't know."
"But... this transmigrator really took the white moonlight's path and left the white moonlight with no way forward! Host, what do you plan to do next?"
The system didn't know what else to say. This transmigrator was truly shameless. She had stolen someone else's belongings and then suppressed the owner.
"I've just looked at this contract and found that the treatment for being a substitute is quite good. I'll stay here for a while for now!"
"After all, that transmigrated protagonist is constantly keeping an eye on the original host. If I make any moves, she'll definitely notice something is wrong. I don't want to provoke that unscrupulous person yet!"
"Indeed, that transmigrator has no bottom line! Host, we can't let her get away with this. We must make her experience the harshness of society!"
Lin Yan set the contract aside and began to ponder her next course of action.
While contemplating, she opened her status panel:
Host: Lin Yan
Identity: White Moonlight
Points: 51202
Worlds Experienced: 4
Titles: Pillar of the Nation, King of Healing Medicine
Missions:
Mission 1: Plot Deviation in Progress
Mission 2: Changing Original Host's Ending in Progress
Mission 3: Changing Other Characters' Endings in Progress
Seeing these points, Lin Yan understood that the medicine she researched in her last world had truly changed the destinies of many people.
It seemed she should focus more on researching things that benefited the country and its people. This was far more effective than focusing on the trivial matters of male and female leads.
After all, changing more people's destinies yielded far more points than other missions.
Lin Yan stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing out at the cityscape. It was a very prosperous city, yet decay festered within its prosperity.
The protagonist was likely shining brightly in the entertainment industry at this very moment. The entertainment industry!
In all the worlds she had experienced, she had never set foot in this field.
Except for the world of school novels, where she had brushed against it slightly, she was almost entirely unfamiliar with this circle.
Unfamiliarity meant a new territory. Perhaps she should step in and try it out, given it was a life she hadn't experienced.
However, the protagonist's suitors held considerable power in this circle.
If she confronted them head-on, she might not even achieve what she intended before reliving the despair the original host had experienced.
But this circle was vast, and such a large cake couldn't be eaten by one person alone.
Although she wanted to enter this circle, she didn't want to be in the spotlight, as it didn't quite align with the original host's or her own personality.
So, she would decide what to do after understanding the rules of this circle.
However, no matter what she did, she needed some capital in hand. It seemed she had to return to her old profession.
Currently, she was burdened with massive debt and had signed such a contract.
Logically, given the original host's personality, she wouldn't have signed such a contract.
But her family owed a colossal debt, and she had tried every means to earn money to repay it. However, no matter what job she found, she was targeted, and she couldn't hold onto any for long.
Furthermore, her father fell ill and couldn't recover after this blow. The debt and medical expenses were enough to break the pride of this girl not yet twenty-four years old.
So, when someone appeared with such a contract, she chose to agree.
Even if it was humiliating, even if her pride was broken, all this could save her parents. The original host could only agree.
But in the end, the original host's father still died, and her mother followed suit, unwilling to be a burden any longer.
By then, the original host had also lost the will to live. A few years after her parents' passing, she succumbed to depression.
Having lost herself, her family, and her hope for the future, this original host seemed to have a more difficult fate than her first incarnation.
This was likely why she became a mission target. But what had the original host done wrong?
She was simply too outstanding. So outstanding that she was difficult to approach.
When a tree is outstanding in the forest, the wind will destroy it.
That was why certain people wanted to tarnish such beauty.
Unable to have the original host, they found the protagonist, the substitute. But unlike the original host, the protagonist's role as a substitute was not forced upon her.
The current transmigrated protagonist was even more ridiculous. What grievances did the original host have with her? At most, she had blocked her path.
Thus, she became a stepping stone on her path to success, even being drained of all her value, then brutally trampled into the mud with no chance of recovery!
