The female leads who were scummed by her all turned blackened (GL) - Chapter 1

“Miss Chan, Ms. Mu is waiting for you inside.”

The housekeeper lowered her gaze, masking the complex emotions in her eyes. She had watched Miss Chan grow up and had even personally seen her off when she went abroad for her studies. She never expected that their next meeting would come with such a drastic change in status…

Thinking of Ms. Mu, the housekeeper sighed inwardly.

“Mm… okay.” Chan Xi feigned composure, but in reality, she had already cursed the Scumbag Department thousands of times in her heart.

She had everything set up on the retirement planet she had chosen, but then the bank notified her that her accounts had been frozen. Immediately after, the Quick Transmigration Department informed her that all the female leads she had scummed had turned blackened because of her. This went against the Quick Transmigration Department’s peace & love values, so she had to go back and eliminate their hatred values if she wanted to claim her retirement pension

When Chan Xi received this notice, she nearly wanted to die. She watched helplessly as her decade-long dream of early retirement crumbled to dust.

Who could understand the sorrow of working like a cow and horse for ten years, only to be sent back to square one?

Thinking about all the scumbag missions she had taken on before, Chan Xi wanted to die even more.

From an outsider’s perspective, she seemed to be standing at the mansion’s entrance for an unusually long time. They assumed she was struggling to accept the stark contrast in status and felt sympathy for her.

After a while, Chan Xi finally snapped out of her daze. Looking at the grand entrance ahead, she stepped forward with the resolve of a martyr marching to execution.

She followed the hazy impressions in her memory and made her way to the side entrance, hoping to take a different route and avoid encountering the female lead too soon.

The moment she stepped inside, a mechanical electronic voice echoed in her mind:

[Female Lead Mu Yiye’s Hatred Value: 100%.]

Chan Xi’s heart turned cold. She felt a gaze as tangible as a blade scrutinizing her. Taking a deep breath, she forced a small smile, raised her head, and said, “Ah… Yiyi, what a coincidence. Long time no see.”

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar Mu Yiye, Chan Xi felt momentarily dazed.

She had changed… and yet she hadn’t.

Her once-obedient bangs were now swept back, revealing a more mature, womanly forehead. The baby fat on her round face had faded—she was thinner now… But when Chan Xi met those eyes filled with cold hatred, she swallowed nervously, guilt gnawing at her.

Recalling everything she had done to Mu Yiye in this world, Chan Xi forced an awkward smile.

The female lead’s original storyline had been a classic: a naive White Lotus female lead and a domineering CEO romance. The female, despite her hardships, remained optimistic and kind. During an internship, she crossed paths with the CEO, whose interest was piqued by her resilience and integrity. Through various misunderstandings and reconciliations, their love slowly blossomed.

But then Chan Xi entered the world as part of the “Scumbag Department”, armed with the script of a scumbag host.

Before the female lead even stepped into the CEO’s company, Chan Xi had already approached her—after all, they were classmates in the same field, giving them plenty of opportunities to grow close.

Even though the world’s narrative desperately tried to push the female lead toward the CEO, Chan Xi still managed to “steal the female lead’s heart” and start a sweet campus romance.

Of course, for her, the romance was nothing but a setup—a foundation for the “soul-crushing heartbreak” to come.

The “Scumbag Department” harvested energy by collecting the female lead’s “Heartbreak Value.” The more heartbreak inflicted, the higher the mission rating, and the greater the energy commission she could receive.

So naturally, she had to devastate the female lead as much as possible.

When she left the country in her senior year, she unilaterally broke up with Mu Yiye, giving the excuse that she had fallen for someone else.

When Mu Yiye bought a plane ticket to chase after her, Chan Xi staged a scene with a pre-arranged lover, crushing any lingering hope of reconciliation.

As a result, she successfully extracted 100% of Mu Yiye’s heartbreak value, bid farewell to this little world, and never looked back.

Now, she had been thrown back into the timeline right after her departure, forced to return home due to her status crisis.

To make matters worse, after she left, Mu Yiye ended up in a classic “Switched at Birth” storyline.

Following the cliche drama of novel worlds, Chan Xi was actually a fake daughter who had occupied the real daughter’s place for years, while Mu Yiye was the pitiful real daughter who had been lost to the world.

Upon seeing this development, Chan Xi’s eyes widened in shock.

Her???

The huge status disparity, the twisted entanglements, and her past with Mu Yiye —everything made her feel like the sky was falling.

And the only way to leave this blackened world was to eliminate Mu Yiye’s hatred value.

Thinking of how the once adorable, sweet female lead had now become a cold and vengeful Black Moonlight, Chan Xi could only laugh dryly.

Who could have expected that years later, the boomerang of heartbreak would come swinging back to smack her in the face?

She felt utterly unwilling. She had worked so hard to play the perfect scumbag, had nearly reached retirement, and yet, just at the final stretch, she was stuck—neither able to move forward nor retreat.

Damn it, isn’t her life a life too?!

••••

At that moment, after a long silence, Mu Yiye finally spoke her first words:

“Yiyi? Are we even close?”

Chan Xi suppressed the flood of calculations in her mind and forced a sorrowful smile.

“Yiyi, do we really have to be so distant?”

Years of acting allowed her to shed tears on command, hoping to evoke even a shred of the female lead’s past kindness and innocence.

But clearly, she was thinking too much.

The mechanical voice in her head bluntly reported:

[Female Lead Mu Yiye’s Hatred Value: 100%.]

Chan Xi: “…Yiyi, I can explain what happened abroad—”

Before she could finish, the electronic voice chimed in again:

[Female Lead Mu Yiye’s Hatred Value: 109%.]

Chan Xi’s heart nearly stopped.

Hatred value could exceed 100%?!
