My Love System Wants Me To Flirt, I Just Want To Be A Salted Fish

Ning Xiaoyu, a transparent 18th-line starlet, is barely surviving. Her comatose father needs costly medical care, leaving her desperate on a cutthroat celebrity dating show. Ignored and out of place, she’s the ultimate \"salted fish,\" just trying to get by. Suddenly, a \"Love System\" appears, promising superstardom if she can charm the nation's most aloof Movie King, Lu Jingdu. But its \"quests\"? Insane: \"Kiss him,\" \"Take his candid photos,\" \"Tend to him for ten minutes.\" Ning Xiaoyu, who'd rather nap than flirt, chooses \"tenderness\"—by silently cracking melon seeds next to him, live on national TV. The System despairs, but the internet erupts. Her utterly unbothered, anti-social \"salted fish\" act goes viral, catapulting her to unexpected fame. Now, as the Love System throws her into increasingly outrageous \"romance\" scenarios—like a dog-blood \"runaway bride\" plot with the baffled Movie King—Ning Xiaoyu must navigate a chaotic path to save her father, all while trying to ignore a System, and a certain actor, who seem determined to turn her life into a rom-com."
