Steal The Male Lead

1.14

Bai Mengxiang's body laid on the bed, his eyes closed and his breathing shallow. Though his face was pale, it still couldn't diminish his beauty even as he laid so quietly. If one didn't know, they might've thought that he was merely sleeping.

Two months had passed by and yet, Bai Mengxiang was still laying so quietly. Even as time passed, as his stomach grew bigger, it was as if he was frozen in time and unable to wake up.

The image in that room created a beautiful yet sentimental air. Bai Mengxiang, who laid in the bed remained as quiet yet gentle as ever.

Of course, inside his mind was a different matter.

(System, this is getting real boring.)

[Host, you were the one that planned this. Are you regretting your decision now?]

(I've been on this bed for so long yet the male lead hasn't even found out who poisoned me. Not to mention, I'm pretty sure this was suppose to happen slower than planned, but hey, I only took the opportunity I was given.)

[Yeah, now how does it feel, lying in bed and pretending to be in a comatose state, unable to wake up? I don't know about you but I'm getting annoyed. Every single day for at least three hours straight, you complain to me about how you wish to take over a character that isn't gentle or kind. If I had a body, I would've made myself go deaf so that I wouldn't hear you complain.]

(System, you should be glad I'm going easy on you. If I really wanted to, I would be talking about some other stuff that could pollute anyone's ears. At least I'm being kind and sparing you the trouble of listening to me complain about my love life, and most of all, my sex life. I swear, I've been in this world for so long but the only thing I've done with the male lead is kiss him at the most. You don't know my sufferings. I have a delicious meal set out right in front of me but I can't even eat it, much less touch it. You don't know my struggles...)

[I'm glad I don't know about your sufferings, Host. Quite frankly, if I listen to you talk about those other stuff, I might really just explode myself. This is just the first world, you'll be experiencing many other worlds, so why are you complaining about your sex life? First of all, you've never really had a love life either.]

(Gee, thanks for that compliment, System.)

[Second of all, the original soul had never been so touchy with the male lead, hence why you can't either.]

(But if the original soul was two faced, can't I also do that? Like you know, pretend to be kind to the people who know the original soul then act all evil and such to those who don't? That should be able to pass as not OOCing. Or if that doesn't work, can't I slowly change how the character acts as time passes? I should be able to do at least this.)

Systems didn't say anything, presumably thinking about what Bai Mengxiang had said. After a silence passed by, System finally replied.

[Well, alright, I'll let you do that. Just make sure that you don't start doing it too soon otherwise the other characters will start getting suspicious of you. And just to let you know, I'm already being generous to you by letting you do this since the original rule was to not OOC.]

(Thanks, System, now, give me an update about what's been happening.)

[You finally ask that after two months has passed since you told me to help you maintain a comatose state, while you were watching dramas inside of your head? Talk about your priorities.]

(Hey, this was the only chance I had at catching up on my drama. But, System, the new drama, The Untamed is totally my type. Like, how can anyone be that handsome? I can't believe they had to change it so that it couldn't be the same as the novel though. Then again, the spark between Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian can't be hidden even if they try to. Those two are a perfect pair and will always be a perfect pair.)
