Dating Show Side Character, Getting Rich by Roasting People

Chu Ling always thought she was just naturally bad at making friends. Until one day, a system suddenly dropped into her life and told her she was actually a hated cannon fodder side character in a modern entertainment novel. Chu Ling: Got it. I need to fix my public image. System: Nope. You actually need to keep making people hate you to stay in character. Chu Ling: Huh? Only an idiot would— System: For every wave of negative emotions caused by you, we’ll deposit real money as a reward. Chu Ling: —Thank you for the opportunity. I am that idiot. I’m all in. Chu Ling joined a dating show and basically started swinging at everyone on screen. Her specialty? Not letting a single soul have peace. A male guest with a “literary genius” persona gave her a heartfelt confession. Chu Ling smiled sweetly: “Nice script. Shame the plagiarism check came back 90 percent. Better luck next time.” Another rich-boy guest kept showing off in subtle ways. Chu Ling rolled her eyes: “Bro, your fake watch is blinding me. Can you stop checking the time every ten seconds?” A female guest gently asked her not to compete for the same guy since she already liked him. Chu Ling gave her a pitying look: “Sweetheart, not everyone has taste as questionable as yours, alright?” After racking up massive hatred across the internet, Chu Ling casually opened her account balance and sipped her tea: “Thank you, everyone. I humbly accept your criticism ^^” But then, netizens slowly realized… Her comebacks actually made sense. She shut down toxic fans, exposed s*umbags, and snapped lovesick girls out of their delusions. She wasn’t just stirring trouble — she was the mouthpiece of justice the internet didn’t know it needed. A few episodes later… Netizen A: Why hasn’t Chu Ling roasted anyone in so long?! [You received ¥10,000.] Netizen B: I used to find her so annoying, but after the last two episodes, I kinda want to become a fan. Is this curable? [You received ¥50,000.] Netizen C: Chu-jie! Without you, who’s gonna deal with all these tr*sh men?! Please come back! [You received ¥100,000.] Chu Ling (dazed): …Wait, no one told me that missing someone, feeling conflicted, and pining for love also count as negative emotions? A man who tossed and turned, unable to sleep at night due to a secret crush: Hmm… why doesn’t it count?
