The male supporting character was actually myself.

Ye's father did not distance himself from Yang Qingwei because of his different surname. On the contrary, knowing that Yang Qingwei could not participate in the struggle for the Ye family's property, and also because he loved Yang Qingwei, he did his best to cultivate him and let him get involved in the company's affairs at an early age.

On the contrary, Ye Xingluo, the eldest son, was sent abroad for further studies by his father, who disliked him no matter what.

He didn't return to China until he was twenty years old. He didn't hold the nominal position of president for long before he was murdered by Yang Qingwei and Ye Xingchen, who were already deeply entrenched in their power.

Trying to view her life from an outsider's perspective, Ye Xingluo suddenly felt that this was the first time in so many years that her mind was so clear!

Whether it was the post-venting "wise man" mode that took effect or something else, he realized the psychological changes that had gradually distorted after experiencing family upheavals.

During his time abroad, his desire for control grew stronger and stronger.

He is ruthless in achieving his goals; he is extremely vengeful and has even considered murder on several occasions!

After a deep analysis of the past, Ye Xingluo thought about what Ji Jiangchen had said.

He was right. He didn't know why he felt that Li Qingcheng was different from other women at first glance. Whether it was cat-like encouragement or some other reason, he really wanted to get close to her and possess her!

If he doesn't reflect on his actions and continues to act recklessly, even with Ji Jiangchen constantly obstructing him, he will not hesitate to plot how to get rid of him!

Ye Xinglu was startled by the result she had derived.

He took a deep breath and looked out the window; the trees were swaying precariously in the wind and rain.

The windy and rainy days of early spring were hard to endure. If it weren't for Ji Jiangchen taking him in, where would he be hiding right now?

In a hallway? In an ATM lobby? Or even under a bridge? Under a car?

After thinking about it carefully, what good would it do to have a human soul?

Being confined to a cat's body means losing a significant portion of one's autonomy.

Hotels, sales offices, train stations, and other places with warm seating will never allow stray cats to exist. Although there are many people willing to take in stray cats, you may not be able to find them, and you might even encounter a sadistic cat abuser.

Without Ji Jiangchen's shelter, he would most likely still be struggling to find three meals a day and a place to sleep.

How can one possibly find time to eat and drink to their heart's content and contemplate life on a stormy night while snuggled in a warm room?

Although Ji Jiangchen did seem like a devil at first.

But his behavior is not a problem for normal cats, and even when I had my own pet, I wasn't much better than him.

What's more, before this, my mind was full of truly rubbish ideas!

Ye Xinglu buried his face in his paws, feeling like a complete failure.

If you fail as a person, you fail even as a cat.

I had actually lived in a daze for twenty years. If I hadn't been turned into a cat and met Ji Jiangchen, whose words enlightened me, I probably would have continued down this wrong path!

Once he had calmed down and lifted his face from his paws, Ye Xinglu sighed inwardly: Is this the meaning of becoming a cat?

I finally understand!

From this moment on, I will turn over a new leaf and start by being a better cat. I will completely get rid of all my past dark and arrogant shortcomings and become truly strong!

Ye Xingchen, Yang Qingwei, just wait for my return after my rebirth!

Including the culprit, Ye Zhong, every evildoer must pay the price they deserve!

The long night has finally passed.

The next day, the wind died down and the rain stopped. The sun shone on the cleansed and refreshed earth, making it as clear as a landscape painting.

"Host, the script still hasn't been updated after all night." The little white cat washed its face with its paws and asked in surprise, "It's been so long since it was updated, does that mean the plot can't be explained?"

Jiang Chen glanced at it and asked curiously, "Is there any host who can drive the script to the point of no return and complete collapse in the early stages?"

"This question... I need to post it on the forum and ask the experts."

A moment later, Xiaobai scratched his foot and gossiped, "There really is one, Host!"

Chapter Twelve: Is the protagonist furious?

"According to a senior player who is waiting to change jobs, he has heard of a very powerful host."

He was originally given a particularly tragic supporting male role script.

But he was incredibly enthusiastic about the mission. As soon as he entered the mission world, he found the protagonist and did everything that he was supposed to do in the story. As a result, the protagonist was so frightened that he developed mental problems.

Less than three days after the mission world began, the script gave up and became free-form.

That unknown host became famous overnight, and many systems later guided hosts to imitate him, but none of them were quite satisfactory.

After all, most people are furious after reading the script; they're lucky if they can do the tasks reluctantly, let alone deliberately push themselves to the brink.

Jiang Chen became even more curious, "What about that host who became famous in one battle? Did he get all the medals to redeem for resurrection?"

"I don't know." The little white cat shook its head, looking confused. "The hosts' real names are kept secret. Who knows if he successfully completed the mission later?"

Did it drive the protagonist insane?

Ha, what a talent!

While washing up, he pondered the information revealed by the little white cat: what was the point of the main system creating so many hosts to do such frustrating tasks?

To demoralize and discourage them?

Or is it cultivating a spirit of resistance?

Looking at it from another angle, was it just to coordinate with certain performances?

Jiang Chen was completely baffled, so he decided to put it aside for the time being.

"Aww, aww, so delicious! So delicious!" The orange cat, who had slept soundly until dawn, was hogging the food bowl and wolfing down the delicious cat food, exclaiming as it ate, "Handsome guy, you live such a happy life!"

Last night was the best night's sleep I've had since I was abandoned and became a homeless person.

You have such a good owner, have you never experienced what it's like to be a stray?

That's terrible!

Scavenging for food in the trash can;

In the dead of winter, when it snows, there's nowhere for stray cats to sleep but they can only huddle around cars. Many stray cats are run over and killed in their sleep.

Springtime isn't much better; it's still windy and cold at night, and there are stray cats fighting..."

The orange cat kept rambling on, making Ye Xingluo increasingly aware of the hardships of being a cat.

[Limited-time mission: Act cute and charming towards humans within ten minutes. The faster you complete it, the higher the random reward!]

He was just about to pull himself together and diligently complete his daily tasks so he could get a chance to be reborn soon and return with the system to make his mark when the system suddenly gave him a limited-time task.

Ye Xingluo was immediately taken aback. The sooner the better?

The only human currently is...

It's too late, points are more important than face!

Since I've already turned into a cat, what's the point of having any shame?

He jumped up and rushed into the bedroom, just in time to run into Ji Jiangchen, who had changed her clothes and was about to leave.

"Look at me, look at me, am I cute? Am I adorable?" Ye Xingluo lay down on the ground, meowing and twisting her waist, trying her best to look cuter.

Jiang Chen: (；OдO)

Little white cat: (￣ェ￣;)

Is the main character crazy this early in the morning?

Then, the fluffy ball of cat, enraged and embarrassed, put its hands on its hips and cursed, "Shameless! You male cat, how dare you pose and seduce my host!"

As Ye Xingluo was being startled by the system, a system notification sounded in his ear.

[The time-limited mission has been completed, and 90 points have been awarded to your account. The host has triggered a hidden mission: Conquer Ji Jiangchen!]

Ye Xingluo: ━━∑(￣□￣*|||━━

Damn it!

What the hell did I get bound to?!

Why would someone pull such a crazy stunt as Ji Jiangchen?!

"Tangyuan, are you feeling alright?" After a few seconds of stunned silence, Jiang Chen saw the big black cat acting like it had split personality, one second it was showing off its charm and the next it was frozen in shock.

He wondered if what happened with the orange cat last night had been too much of a shock for him.

After fermenting overnight, did the protagonist lose his mind and go insane?

"Something's wrong, Host!" Just as one problem was about to be solved, another arose. The little white cat's voice trembled as it warned, "The script... the script has become so strange!"

He quickly glanced at it and saw that the script, which had originally shown "Updating," now had a line of text: "Given that the protagonist Ye Xingluo has triggered a romance mission with the best supporting actor Ji Jiangchen, and Ji Jiangchen has become the target of the romance, the plot is no longer displayed as being kept secret."

The three large characters "Secure" were incredibly eye-catching!

Xiao Bai muttered to himself, feeling completely lost, "Oh no, oh no, I've run into a perverted protagonist. Even my host is trying to win him over!"

"Wait, let me catch my breath." Jiang Chen rubbed his temples, feeling a little dazed.

What's wrong with this script?

How can there be such a thing as the best supporting character being "conquered"?

The main character isn't a woman!

The most important question is—is this "guide" a legitimate guide?

Ye Xingluo on the other side was also completely bewildered.

"System, what does this mean? I'm male and I like women! Why do I have to pursue Ji Jiangchen? Are you some kind of gay-turning system?"

[Literally, the strategy involves winning over Ji Jiangchen to change his attitude towards the host from hostile to friendly. Completing the strategy unlocks hidden benefits.]

It turns out it was just an attitude...

Ye Xingluo finally breathed a sigh of relief, while at the same time looking forward to the hidden perks.

He glanced at the mission guide and was immediately filled with confidence. It's just a little Ji Jiangchen, I can handle it!

"Come on, Tangyuan, do you need to explain your behavior?"

Jiang Chen opened his laptop and gestured with his chin toward the big black cat.

Ye Xingluo looked at the opened document and cautiously asked, "System, can I use my claws to tap the keyboard a few times to type a few words or gibberish..."
