The author of this book must be crazy!
Completely insane!

Qiao Chuchu stood on top of the tall building, trembling with fear, her calves twitching uncontrollably.

The system excitedly urged: [Jump, host! If you jump, everything will be over! End the tragic ending of the villainess, the assets will be transferred to you after tax, and the luxurious mansion on the Bund will be waiting for you!]

Qiao Chuchu’s fear was immediately clouded by the dazzling wealth.
Yes!
She was going to be rich!
She might even be able to support a handsome man as her sugar daddy!

Qiao Chuchu looked towards the edge of the rooftop.
Seven handsome men slowly approached her, trying to avoid making her jump, their faces serious yet tinged with a hint of disgust.

The man at the front exuded a powerful presence, his cold voice cutting through the air: "Qiao Chuchu, get down here. Don't make a fool of yourself."

Qiao Chuchu: "?"
Although she had done a lot of bad things, she was about to die, and yet he still wanted her to get down?

Qiao Chuchu feigned sorrow: "I'm about to die and you’re still being so harsh with me, big brother, you have no heart!"

Pei Yuan looked at her coldly, his eyes dark and filled with hidden emotions: "This is not the first time you've attempted suicide. The fact that we came here is already giving you face."

Qiao Chuchu froze.
That's true.
In her previous life, she was an orphan abandoned in an orphanage due to a hereditary illness.
Despite living optimistically and saving money for treatment, she still died.

The system gave her a second chance and brought her to this world, where she was thrown into a harem of men.
At the age of three, she crossed into this novel world.
On the very first day of her arrival, her biological parents died.

However, her foster mother, who was her mother’s best friend, took her in.
Her foster mother, devastated by the deaths of her own parents, raised her.
In her past life, she never experienced the feeling of family.
But here, she was the apple of the Pei family’s eye.

The seven brothers, just as described in the novel, pampered her to the extreme!
Though they had no blood relation, their bond felt even stronger.
She was truly happy.

At the age of ten, her foster mother and father died in a plane crash.
Pei Yuan, still a minor, began to take on responsibilities as the Pei family's heir, with all her brothers feeling the weight of the pressure. But she remained their treasured gem.
She was willing to share hardships with them.

But she was also a tool, bound by the system.
If she didn’t comply, death awaited her, along with countless punishments.
She had to push her brothers into darkness, making them sensitive to all women, paving the way for the female protagonist.

She didn’t even know what kind of novel she had crossed into, but she felt like the author must be seriously ill!!
Were side characters just not allowed to live?
Her brothers would be turned into monsters, loving and torturing the female protagonist, dying in the grand finale.
And she was destined to die today.

The system urged: [Host, say your lines! Hurry up and say your lines!]

A surge of reluctance rose in Qiao Chuchu’s heart as she looked deeply at the seven men before her.
After being bound by the system, she had always acted against her will.
She stomped on their gifts, called what she liked "dislike," deliberately pushing them to despise her.
But none of it was really her.

Today, she would finally take control.
Qiao Chuchu sighed in relief, looking up at the starry sky: "Brothers, I’m sorry, but you will never see me again."

Pei Yuan’s eyebrows slowly furrowed in astonishment.
Qiao Chuchu suppressed the bitterness in her throat, forcing a vicious grin: "You will always be my brothers. I want to die in front of you, so you’ll never forget me for all eternity."
She glanced back at the “bottomless abyss” behind her.

[Oh my god, it’s so high ahhhhhh! I don’t want to jump! What if I fall and break into pieces!?]
[But if I jump, I’ll become a billionaire when I return to the other world! Hold on!!!]

Pei Yuan: "?"
What did he just hear?

The third brother nearby shook his head in confusion: "Am I hearing things? I swear I just heard Qiao Chuchu’s voice in my head."
Pei Yuan stared at him in shock.

The seventh brother blinked: "I heard it too. She said something about being a billionaire!"

Qiao Chuchu stood high, the wind too strong for her to hear their conversation, and shouted, "I’m leaving, brothers!"
The seven of them stared at her in shock.
For some reason, she felt that their expressions seemed to carry something else.
She smiled through her tears: "Goodbye, forever."

[With a billion-dollar fortune, I’ll be a happy little rich lady, no more being controlled by anyone. Although my brothers will have horrible deaths... but... it’s no longer my concern. Goodbye, novel world.]

Qiao Chuchu closed her eyes and gently leaned backward.
Memories surged in her mind like slides.
She had once run toward the seven brothers with short legs, arms wide open.
But now, she was falling from the rooftop.
From now on, she would never see them again.

A tear slid from the corner of her eye as she leaned back, feeling the sensation of free fall.

Suddenly, her body stopped falling, and she felt a powerful grip on both her arms!
She opened her eyes in pain, staring into the somewhat crazed, grim faces of Pei Yuan and the other brothers!

“Care to explain how we’re going to die?”
Qiao Chuchu: "?"
[Did I just accidentally say my inner thoughts out loud?]

Pei Yuan raised an eyebrow sharply.
Her inner thoughts?
He exchanged a glance with his brothers, and they deliberately pulled her upward.

The system urgently warned: [Host, struggle! If you miss this timing, you won’t be able to go back!]

Qiao Chuchu realized, reaching up to slap Pei Yuan’s face: “Let me dieeeeee!!!”
Pei Yuan ignored her and, with his brothers, carefully pulled her up.

[What’s wrong with these people?! I’ve made such a scene, and they still want to save me?]
[Although I’m reluctant, now I just want that billion-dollar fortune!]

For some reason, it felt like their grip on her tightened!
Qiao Chuchu, pale and exhausted, was pulled back up by them.

She knelt on the ground, looking at the spotless shoes before her, lifting her head in a daze: “You saved me. Does this mean you have feelings for me? You love me? You want to marry me?”
Pei Yuan frowned in disgust: "Say another word and I’ll gag you."

Qiao Chuchu retorted: "How? With those sexy lips of yours?"
Pei Yuan: “...Just jump again.”
Qiao Chuchu: "Fine!!"

She immediately leapt into the air, diving off the building!

Pei Xun was quick and grabbed her, pinning her to the ground!
She was squashed underneath him like a ball!!

Qiao Chuchu cried out desperately: “Help, please, just let me die!”
[If I don’t die now, I won’t be able to return! How will I survive in this world? I’ve offended everyone!]
