It was the third year I had spent with Daniel Grant, the so-called lovesick second male lead. The female lead, Natalie, had a fight with the male lead and flew back home. She showed up at my door again in the middle of the night, throwing herself into Daniel's arms. "Loving Lucas is just too exhausting. Daniel, can we be together?" she pleaded. I opened my mouth, about to speak. Daniel must have thought I was about to make a scene again. He frowned, his gaze full of disapproval. "Natalie just got back and has nowhere to go, so I added her fingerprint and access code to the villa," he said. "Sophie, be reasonable. Don't say anything that might hurt her," he added. I simply nodded. "Okay." Daniel froze, caught off guard. He had been ready for a tantrum, for jealousy, for a scene. He never expected me to accept it so easily. What he didn't know was that the moment he left me on the highway for Natalie, the system had already marked my mission as a complete failure. To earn enough points to return to my original world, I decided to play the role of the gentle, considerate wife he always wanted, at least for these last few days. But who would have thought that Daniel, who once carried himself with such pride, would end up lowering himself and begging me to go back to the way things were?
