I Was Told to Tempt Them All—But Why’s He Always Catching Me?

I accidentally traveled into a novel with a "Po" system, becoming an inconspicuous supporting character.

The system gave me a task: seduce every man in the book except the male lead.

While I was having fun teasing the aloof tutor, the loyal bodyguard, and the scheming childhood friend,

the male lead, however, was relentless. He trapped me in his arms and kissed me with obsession.

"They can, but I can't?"

...

I woke up on a luxurious bed, looking around in shock.

Delicate glass ornaments, lace satin sheets, and the intricate mosquito net...

Where am I?

Just then, a cold voice echoed in my mind.

"Congratulations, host, you've successfully bound to the Po system! Current task: seduce all men in the book except the male lead."

As a virgin who had never been in a relationship, I was naturally stunned.

"How do I seduce them?"

"Well, lure them into bed... you know... get them all tangled up..."

I crossed my arms. "I'm a decent person! I refuse!"

"Dear, if you fail to complete the task, there will be punishment."

I had no choice but to accept the reality.

I had crossed over as the female side character, Lydia Vance—beautiful, with perfect looks and a stunning figure.

Moreover, she was the daughter of the richest merchant in Aster City, a perfect example of a rich and beautiful woman.

However, in the book, she was a forgettable supporting character who died off within a few chapters.

I, a straightforward woman from the 21st century, had no clue how to seduce men...

A flash of white light appeared, and the system delivered a guidebook into my mind.

I was about to celebrate when I opened it and instantly turned bright red.

The book was full of straightforward and suggestive methods that made me think, "Is this really something I can access without paying for a membership?"

"Is... is this really reliable? What kind of stuff are you giving me?"

"We're the Po system, of course, it's different from others. You have 15 minutes left before your first task fails. Come on, you can do it!"

I quickly reviewed the first target.

The second male lead, Simon Thatcher, was Lydia Vance's childhood sweetheart. Their families lived almost next door.

But he was cold towards Lydia, probably not even letting her in the door.

I decided to sneak in through the balcony.

Rolling up my pants, I climbed in through his second-floor window into his bedroom.

Just as I was getting in, Simon came out of the bathroom in a gray silk robe.

"Lydia?"

He looked at me in surprise, then glanced at the open window, his brow furrowing slightly.

"Are you trying to kill yourself?"

Simon looked gentle and elegant on the outside, but there was a hint of slyness in his eyes that made me feel a little uneasy.

But I was desperate, too desperate to care about that.

I recalled the movements in the guidebook and immediately lunged at Simon, wrapping my arms around his waist.

His body was warm, and my face flushed, heated by the proximity.

"Simon, actually... I can’t hide it any longer. I've liked you for a long time."

Simon froze.

He didn’t push me away? Maybe there was hope.

I went for the direct approach.

"Tonight... can I sleep with you?"

Though a supporting character, Lydia was beautiful with a slim waist, and a sweet, melodious voice.

I stood on my tiptoes and hugged Simon's waist, softly nuzzling against him, trying to act all cute.

A gorgeous woman throwing herself at him—surely, the second male lead would be moved!

But Simon, as expected of the second lead,

just picked me up and walked straight into the bathroom,

then tossed me straight into the bathtub!

Splash!

Water splashed everywhere, and my mind spun as though I had waterlogged my brain.

"Simon, what the hell?"

"Are you out of your mind? Calm down."

With a loud bang, Simon slammed the door shut.

Meanwhile, the system's desperate voice echoed in my ears.

"Ding! Task failed. Entering punishment mode."

I immediately felt a hot wave rush downward, my body going limp as if my bones had been dismantled.

Ah...

Help, this punishment is unbearable.

It felt like a thousand ants were gnawing at me, and I couldn't help but make an indescribable sound.
