I Don’t Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System

It was still raining in Zhe Province, but compared to last night’s lightning and thunder, the rain was much lighter now.

Su Qi, who had lived in Zhe Province for a long time, knew this meant the typhoon had already passed Zhe Province.

Turning on the lights in the living room, she saw the clock hands on the wall pointing to 5 o’clock.

Su Qi felt it was a bit strange. She was just feeling quite energetic, but seeing it was only 5 am now, she subconsciously let out a big yawn.

As she was walking to the bathroom to wash up, suddenly something caught her eye.

Wasn’t that her hanfu hanging on the coat rack in the living room?

Su Qi walked over quickly and felt it. Yep, this fabric was definitely the system’s product.

Getting closer, Su Qi could even smell a hint of lavender scent on the hanfu.

She knew her mom had always used this brand of laundry detergent. Her mom was really something, clearly she had taken it but still lied about throwing it away.

Su Qi complained in her heart, but the corners of her mouth curved up. This feeling of things becoming better was really good.

The system watched as the host’s favorability towards Lu Ran increased and felt a bit surprised. Its host actually ate up this routine. Oh well, after pulling an all-nighter playing Genshin Impact, it was time to sleep.

Su Qi went to the toilet and routinely changed a sanitary pad, feeling slightly relieved seeing the obvious decrease in flow.

The meticulous Su Qi noticed that her stamina would decrease a few points each time she bled.

If the bleeding continued at the rate of the first day, Su Qi felt she probably wouldn’t last 7 days.

Thinking if she really bled to death, that would be too frustrating.

However, with the current state of her body slowly improving, her stamina had already reached over 71 points.

Picking up the toothbrush her mom prepared for her, how did Su Qi know it was hers?

Because Lu Ran had stuck a sticker on the cup—For my dear daughter.

Su Qi blushed slightly. Was her mom being too girly? First the pajamas and now this embarrassing phrase~

And this pink cup and toothbrush were too girlish!

In the eyes of the former male Su Qi, it was simply, simply, uh, a little cute.

After brushing her teeth, Su Qi bared her teeth at the mirror out of habit.

The two rows of small sword-like teeth, set in a delicate mouth, shone with a clean luster. The only thing out of place was the little tiger tooth on the right corner of her mouth, like a peeking little tiger, adding a touch of liveliness to Su Qi’s entire face.

Only after observing there were no cavities did Su Qi feel at ease.

Speaking of cavities, Su Qi once had the fortune of getting one. Just thinking of the dentist extending that long, sharp drill towards her bad tooth made her feel unwell.

Therefore, after wearing braces for 3 years as a guy, looking at it now, everything she had gone through was still worth it.

Back in the room, she re-sealed the “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” that she read last night back on the bookshelf.

Su Qi thought of the image of herself in the window instantly transforming into Diaochan after the flash of lightning yesterday and shuddered. Then she clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and prayed inwardly:

“Sister Diaochan, I was wrong. I won’t draw fanart of you anymore, so please don’t come find me!”

Thinking of studying the stock market secrets alone in her room, Su Qi still felt a bit cowardly. Wearing slippers, she quickly slipped to the study.

Learning efficiency was quite high in the morning. In a little over two hours, Su Qi had read more than 20 pages, over 3 times the efficiency of yesterday at the hospital.

Seeing she had finally reached page 100 of the stock market secrets book, Su Qi breathed a sigh of relief. She had finally finished 1/16 of it.

At this time, Lu Ran had just leisurely woken up.

Waking up in the morning, she subconsciously felt beside her. Discovering there was only one person on the entire bed edge, she felt a bit flushed.

How could she sleep later than her daughter? She sealed away the embarrassing frog pajamas.

Looking at the frog pajamas, Lu Ran still felt a bit shy. Wearing this at almost 50 years old, would it make her seem too young?

Actually, this was all Su Lujun’s fault. Lu Ran had told him to buy pajamas, but not knowing Su Qi’s size, he bought five sets of this kind of pajamas all at once.

Lu Ran wore the extra pajamas herself to avoid wasting them.

To be honest, she looked down on her husband’s straight male aesthetic. After all, who would go buy this kind of strange, flashy pajamas.

But thinking of Su Qi in the little bunny pajamas last night, Lu Ran felt it was quite interesting.

Should she buy a set for Su Lujun when he comes back too? The family of three could wear matching parent-child outfits? Right, the two sons couldn’t be left out either!

Now in normal clothes, Lu Ran tiptoed out of the room in cotton slippers. She wanted to see what her little darling was doing so early.

She quickly located Su Qi in the study by following the light. The chair in the study was a high stool she had replaced later. She quite enjoyed sitting on this tall stool in the afternoon while handling company affairs and drinking a cup of coffee.

At this point, some people might wonder, what exactly does Lu Ran do for work? Actually, even Su Qi doesn’t know, because Lu Ran has always been quite idle.

This brings us to the matter of opportunity.

Lu Ran is a native of Shanghai and graduated from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, a key university.

Twenty years ago, at a college reunion, she heard that her classmate Ji Qi had entrepreneurial plans.

At that time she was already married to Su Lujun. Because Su Lujun belonged to a military unit, she didn’t need to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation at all as the wife of a brigade commander.

As a Shanghai native living with Su Lujun, how to put it, it felt like there was no way to spend money even if they had it.

Just in time for the college reunion, hearing about Ji Qi’s investment plan, and since they were college classmates, Lu Ran quite recognized his abilities.

She took the private savings she had accumulated from a young age, about 6 million yuan, and invested it all. 6 million yuan at that time was no small sum and helped solve Ji Qi’s urgent need.

Because she never lacked money, the money earned kept being reinvested with Ji Qi. Lu Ran became a hands-off boss.

Before she knew it, the company went public.

Now Lu Ran is a 5% shareholder of Huazhu Hotel Group.

You might not know of Huazhu Hotel Group, which is quite normal.

But the group operates many well-known hotel brands like Hanting, Ji Hotel, Orange Crystal, and All Seasons that everyone should be quite familiar with.

Although Lu Ran only has a small 5% stake now, Ji Qi has already successfully entered the Forbes World’s Billionaires list last year, so you should know how high the returns on this 5% are.

That’s why Lu Ran didn’t feel heartache at all after rewarding Su Qi 1 million yuan.

Su Lujun’s salary, although higher than the average by a bit, was just over 10,000 yuan after taxes. But to be honest, compared to Lu Ran’s monthly income, it could only be considered pitifully low.

So that brings us to Lu Ran’s daily work.

It’s to take out her computer and chitchat in the shareholders group.

At the end of each month, a secretary will send over a financial statement for her to sign.

Sometimes Lu Ran also thinks, is this money coming too easily? After all, she has never managed anything and hasn’t even seen the hotels.

But after going through the guilt of the first few years, the current Lu Ran actually discovered that she had already gotten used to it!

Perhaps Lu Ran’s situation is what you call winning by lying flat!
