(Nova will now go by Mia.)First thing Mia needed to do, was come up with a way to expose the supposed white lotus. Before she could think anymore, someone barged into her room. Her red eyes landed on a young girl with long pink hair and big cherry eyes that pulled one every man"s heartstrings.
"Hurry up!" Sarah shouted angrily, fists clenched at her sides. "I"ll be late because of you!"
Mia glanced at her with boredom, before turning away and ignoring her. Sarah screeched and stomped out, slamming the door behind her that the hinges nearly fell off with how hard she slammed it. Mia smirked, grabbing her bag, stopping the door at the door. "System, can I can talk with you without looking insane?"
System turned black with shame, floating over and nuzzling her face. "System is a bad system. Host can communicate with system in her mind. And even if Host does that, System won"t be seen by anyone. System is sorry."
Mia knew, that if the little system could produce tears, he would be crying. Patting the system, she shook her head in defeat. "Don"t worry Leo, I"m not upset with you." She a.s.sured mentally.
"Host is so kind!" He cried, his new name flying over his consciousness.
Pushing him away, she walks down the stairs and the house. "So, tell me more about this male lead."
"The male lead is Kay Lenard. He is the son of a wealthy merchant and has a fiancee."
"Hoh? A fiancee? And he still pursued the black lotus?"
System bounced up and down. "Yes. But that was because she set up many traps and ambushes for his fiancee, who is his childhood friend. His fiancee is someone who believed that Mia Johnson was innocent in the schemes of her sister. The only reason Sarah caught him was because of her making it look like she was bullied by the fiancee."
"Who is the fiancee?"
Just as system, or now known as Leo, was about to answer his host, something b.u.mped into her which caused her and the object to fall. "Oomph!"
Light blonde hair and bright blue eyes which were tearing up looked at her crimson ones. "I"m so sorry! Please forgive me!" She bowed, her long hair falling around her.
"Host, you can"t act OCC in this world!" Leo warned hurriedly. "You"ll fail and die!"
A bright, sunny smile grew on Mia"s face as she waved her hands frantically. "No, it"s my fault! I wasn"t looking where I was going!"
Her teary, blue eyes widened in shock, jumping up she grasped her hands and looked at her excitedly. "Really?"
Mia nodded, a blush overtaking her face. "Yeah! I should have looked where I was going!"
"Lucy, are you alright?" A young man with dark, reddish hair and hazel eyes worried, grabbing her shoulders and checking her over.
Lucy giggled nervously. "Haha, sorry Kay~ I"m so clumsy."
Mia rose a brow, before a strange light flashed through her eyes. "So I"ve already met the fiancee and Kay. Leo, is there anyone else I should worry about?"
Leo glowed green. "Yes host, while wishes by the original are mostly important, host has one main mission in every world."
"What would that be?"
"Host must make sure to protect the male lead and the secret second male lead." Leo answered, his invisibly body floating cheerfully around her.
Unseen to the two in front of her, a vindictive gleam flashed through her eyes. Compared to her original world, with the help of this adorable system and her cheats, she would make sure to bring justice to everyone this "White Lotus" scorned, all because she wanted to social climb her way through the world.
Her once vengeful eyes reversed back to the bright, innocent ones that slid past the defenses of the protagonist and his fiancee. "First thing to do, give them a bad impression on Sarah." She thought, inwardly smirking.
If Leo had a body, he would have t.i.tled his head to the side cluelessly. "How will host do that?"
A mist clouded her eyes, drooping to the floor as her lips tugged downwards slightly. Lucy, being the kindhearted person she was, noticed the depressed state of her new friend. Her worried blue eyes flashed with panic as she huddled next to Mia, Kay standing away in confusion.
"What"s wrong?" She worried, hoisting an arm around her shoulders, rubbing her arm in comfort.
Mia rubbed her eyes, quickly catching the tear that fell from her lash, putting on a strained smile. "Oh, it"s just my sister was being her usual self." Unconsciously, she tugged down her large sweater, making Lucy and Kay stare at her.
"Host, what are you doing?" Leo questioned confused. Then, one of his receivers tolled, making the system gasp in alarm. "Host, the second lead is right behind you!"
Her lips curled at the corners, before quickly banishing as she groaned in pain, holding her abdomen. She stepped backwards, colliding with a hard body, before her eyes misted over and she fell unconscious.
St.u.r.dy arms grasped her before she staggered to the concrete. Kay and Lucy gasped in surprise, knowing instantly who it was. "Nathan!"
Harsh green eyes stared at the unconscious body in his arms, before he looked at his friends. "Who"s this?"
"This is my new friend." Lucy answered sweetly, but her face was pinched with worry, leaving Kay to grab her fallen bag.
Nathan rolled his eyes. "Not what I asked, Lu. What"s her name?"
"Her name is Mia Johnson." Kay answered, reading the tag from the inside of her bag.
Lucy s.n.a.t.c.hed the bag from him, greedily rereading the name and memorising it. "Her name is really pretty, just like she is."
"Well, we best get your pretty friend to the hospital." Nathan ordered, strengthening his hold, only for his eyes to zero on the yellowish bruise on her collarbone, which her sweater had conveniently moved from it"s place.

Leo watched in admiration as the love meters for the male lead and second male lead plummeted from one hundred to fifty. He zoomed to his host, colliding with her chest and shined brightly. "Host is so amazing! Only just meeting them and destroying half of her chance with them."
Mia rolled her eyes in annoyance, but didn"t shove him away too harshly. "Of course. What man want"s an abusive girl as his girlfriend. Because Sarah punished Mia whenever people were close to finding out about the abuse, she knew it would destroy her character. But, now that I"m here, I"ll give her compet.i.tion for being a better white lotus."
Leo"s voice softened. "But, host, how are you going to deal with Sarah if you have to stay in character?"
When she smiled in response, Leo shivered frightfully. Where did his sweet, nice host go?
"Well, I"ll latch onto the best gold thigh of course." Her red eyes glowed. "Nathan Winchester, cousin to Lucy Winchester, is the gold thigh that she stupidly pa.s.sed up. She won"t have the chance to sink her claws into him." A seductive smile curled onto her lips. "I"ll make myself so irresistible to him, he"ll have no chance to go to that gold digger."
"Maybe I should have told host about soul mates?" Leo thought to himself, but systems were restricted to tell their hosts until they pa.s.sed the trial worlds and found their other half in their trial world. He would just have to make sure host wouldn"t be too angry with him and ignore him.
Out of all his hosts, she was the nicest to him. He didn"t want to see his new favourite host destroyed, so silently promised to himself that he would protect her fervently.
