Welcome to the Misogyny Game

Life suddenly settled down, and Liu Chaoque gained a travel companion; they seemed to have a very good relationship.

She eventually bought the 500+ yuan gym package and always came out drenched in sweat. But whether it was a natural talent or something else, no matter how painful the workout was, she would be fully recovered the next day.

"Hey, have you started dating someone lately?" Nan Chu, one of the female lead's best friends, gossiped.

"With whom? How come I don't know?" A big question mark appeared on Liu Chaoque's forehead.

"That guy who looks strong, with well-developed pectoral muscles, and has a really nice smile, I've seen him escort you into the school gate several times." Nan Chu's eyes sparkled, and she poked Liu Chaoque's arm with a teasing look: "You don't mean you're thinking of having a secret relationship, do you? We're both college students now, we're past the age of puppy love, we can't do that kind of thing."

Liu Chaoque said uncertainly, "Strong, with well-developed pectoral muscles... You don't mean Senior Xu, do you?"

"So his surname is Xu." Nan Chu suddenly realized. She waved her hand and said, "Never mind, I don't know his surname either. Anyway, it's good that you know. Hey, don't tell me you haven't started dating yet?" She looked at her strangely and said, "I can't be."

"Why not? We're just good buddies at most." Liu Chaoque pouted. "It's mainly because he's a kind-hearted senior. You have no idea what I went through before, how dangerous it was. He acted as my bodyguard before I graduated, out of friendship with his classmate."

"Speaking of bodyguards, should I give him something as a thank you gift? Or should I just give him money... Ugh, so annoying." Liu Chaoque looked at his phone, somewhat conflicted.

Seeing her like this, Nan Chu slumped helplessly onto the table, pouting with regret: "I thought you were going to find a boyfriend, but it turns out we're just friends."

She patted Liu Chaoque on the shoulder, saying with exasperation, "You, you don't seize such a good opportunity. You've turned everyone into brothers. Haven't you ever thought about having a sweet romance?"

Liu Chaoque grabbed her hand, a hint of sadness in his eyes: "In the end, it is because I am old and my beauty has faded that you have grown tired of me. How could you be so cruel as to push me to someone else? Fine, since that's the case, let's break up then, so as not to offend your eyes."

"Hey, hey, why do you act like you're abandoning your wife and children just because you're dating?" Nan Chu choked. "This isn't for your own good. If you could date freely, you wouldn't have to go through all those blind dates."

"Why go on blind dates? Why look for a partner? Living with your sisters can help each other. After a blind date, you get married, have children, and end up wasting half your life, unable to escape the word 'children'." Liu Chaoque said, "Moreover, after giving birth, all kinds of gynecological diseases follow. Some may be lucky and have milder ones, but some may die on the delivery table."

"Humanity needs men and women to continue, but women who bear the majority of the responsibility for reproduction are not well received. Whether at work or in their surroundings, it's as if women are destined to take care of the family, as if men are born stronger than women, more hardworking, and stronger, and don't get maternity leave. Women, on the other hand, are constantly asked if they have a boyfriend, when they are going to get married, and if they want to have children. It's as if women are the only ones raising children, as if ten months of pregnancy is a woman's responsibility, as if women ultimately have to compromise for the family..." After saying this, Liu Chaoque smiled at Nan Chu: "In that case, I'll just be an unwanted old maid."

“Anyway…” she leaned back, resting her back on the chair, “love isn’t a necessity.”

Nan Chu remained silent for a long time, until the school bell rang to answer Liu Chaoque.

She opened her book, looking on with a headache as she waited for the teacher to arrive. This class was about macroeconomics and microeconomics.

The original owner of this body was a freshman majoring in finance, which was different from the background of the female protagonist in the game's introduction. Otherwise, someone who could only copy would be a sophomore majoring in painting from the start. No matter how you look at it, the challenge would be huge. Fortunately, she was just a freshman. Otherwise, as a graduate majoring in Chinese language, she would feel like she would go crazy if she were to be faced with all kinds of difficult and hard-to-understand knowledge from the start.

During the class, she frantically took notes. Having previous experience studying classical Chinese, Liu Chaoque didn't feel rusty. When get out of class ended, she began to search for things she didn't understand during class on Baidu, and she managed to understand a little bit, albeit with some difficulty.

Campus life was monotonous and busy. The library became her usual place, with books stacked half a person's head high on the shelves. Only the food in the cafeteria was her only comfort.

But when the night is quiet, she always thinks of Wang Qige, and of her parents in the other world. They died suddenly while riding a roller coaster. I wonder if Qige will be scared to death.

In another time and space, Wang Qige discovered that her friend had woken up as if she were a different person. She had become somewhat timid and shy, and did not remember her. She coaxed and tricked her into seeing a neurologist, but no symptoms appeared.

The attending physician said it might be due to stimulation, and the possibility of a concussion could not be ruled out. He recommended that she be hospitalized for observation.

Wang Qige had no choice but to accept this guess for now.

"What kind of game is this?"

To help Liu Chaoque recall their past memories, Wang Qige showed her her phone, intending to show her photos they had taken together, but somehow ended up opening the "Starry Love" app.

After the cutscene, Liu Chaoque's eyes visibly widened.

Could it be that she's still obsessed with games, forgetting everything except this one? Wang Qige silently complained in her mind, but said seriously, "This is Starry Love, an otome game."

"Oh." She stared intently at the familiar figure on the screen, gripped by extreme fear. Could it be that the place she had once lived in was actually just a bunch of data, and what was her current situation—had she traveled from the game into reality, or had she entered another game?

If it's game development, there shouldn't be any game-like settings within the game itself, but that possibility can't be ruled out.

She looked at Wang Qige with some complicated feelings. This person had been busy these past few days, so they must have a very good relationship with the owner of this body. She was keeping it from her and enjoying the friendship that should have been enjoyed by the original owner. Wasn't she being too selfish?

But if I tell her, what should she say? Should she say that she came from the game and that the original owner of this body died, or should she say that she doesn't know the original owner's situation and only adds to the person's troubles?

Wang Qige sensed Liu Chaoque's inner turmoil and looked at her suspiciously: "You didn't actually regain your memories a long time ago, and you've been playing tricks on me these past few days, did you?"

"No, no." Liu Chaoque waved his hand, and even this gesture was very different from hers. Wang Qige couldn't put her finger on it. Maybe it was a matter of temperament. This amnesia... how come even her temperament has changed?

"What were you thinking about so intently just now?" Wang Qige asked. "If you feel unwell, you must tell me immediately and I will call a doctor for you."

Although they often read various time-travel novels, novels are novels and reality is reality. It's impossible for such an absurd thing to happen in real life.

"It's nothing, just a bit of a headache. I want to sleep a little longer..." Smile ultimately decided to put it aside for now, at least she needed to know whether the original owner of this body was dead or alive.

If she were still alive, she would tell everything to the person in front of her. Although there would be pain for a while, she would know that they were both well.

But if she has already passed away, then she will keep this secret to herself and try her best to play the role well, so that she will always be there.

"Headache? I'd better call the doctor for you." Wang Qige subconsciously wanted to press the nurse call button next to her, but Smile stopped her and shook her head: "I don't think I'm in pain anymore. Let's watch TV instead, and not bother the doctor, okay?" She shook her hand.

It seems this person is getting better at acting cute and charming.

Wang Qige turned on the TV and clicked on the animation channel she wanted to watch. She was thoroughly enjoying watching Peppa Pig.

This aspect, however, has not changed much.
