    I have lost track of how many novels I've read where the scum males leads still get the girl (whether reincarnated or not) or the plot line is the MC is reborn to prevent herself from for falling for him again. People complain about the MC's choices in either case so I thought of a novel idea.

    The MC is driving with her best friend after coming back from the hospital. The best friend is pregnant however her husband doesn't care and still treats her coldly and has a mistress who he makes no attempt to hide (a typical white lotus/ the white moonlight of the husband) (the husband is the typical scummy ML who married the best friend for revenge or because he believes she committed some crime). The husband never showed up to the hospital and the MC is pissed (grumbling that is she were a man she would steal her best friend away in a heartbeat) but also thinks about her own situation. She's married to the best friend of best friends husbands. The guy is player and they got married because MC got pregnant however the mistress made it seem like she did it on purpose so despite getting married the guy believes MC is scum like her best friend. She lost the baby and her husband is out every night with a different woman so she knows how her best friend must be going through right now. Suddenly, their car gets run off the road and the two are knocked out. They wake on a boat, kidnapped by the mistresses henchman, and are tortured for days yet neither of their husbands call which is pointed out. MC begs them to let her best friend go because she is six months pregnant but they refuse. MC is forced to watch as they stab her best friend in the stomach and remove the fetus as her best friend bleeds out. As MC lays dying she curses God for giving her friend such a wretched fate in life. Her best friend, the kindest person she ever met, whose own family paid no attention to her and doted on her sister (aka the mistress) and forced into a loveless marriage despite loving her husband. Her last thought is that she will be with her own child soon enough and she hopes she and her best friend will be reborn into a better world.

    MC then wakes up in a weird time space looking room and of course is offered the chance to go to reborn somewhere else. When it is revealed that her and her best friends life is a novel she is furious, asking why her best friend was given such a horrible fate and basically calls out god. God explains that her friend's heart is too broken to be put together and be reborn so that's why they offered it to MC instead of her best friend. That and the best friend must go back to finish the novel. MC then collapses next to her best friends body (which she realizes is next to her) who appears to be in a coma like state and asks if their world will collapse if her best friend does not go back. God answers no but she would be depriving her best friend of her happily ever after and lets her know what happens in the rest of the story, that her best friend (the OrFL) would have a happy ending with her husband but the MC isn't buying it. She then points out other novels she's read where the same thing happen and the scummy characters receive little punishment.

    So god goes.

    "Very well then, your in charge now. Good luck then, I'm off to have my own harem!"

    The Mc is flabbergasted but then, as she watches various stories play out around her, she decides this is her chance to help other people out the way she wished someone would have helped her own best friend out.

    The next scene flashes to a FL in a typical historical/fantasy novel where she married the man she loved but her husband is distant and cold to her. In the midst of her tears she hears a voice say "Then, shall I take you to another world?"

    Suddenly she's standing in what looks like an office where she see's MC. MC welcomes her and explains that she eligible to be reborn into another world. The FL is stunned and MC offers to let her take some time to think about it but in the mean she is required to go to some therapy classes to deal with her trauma she received from her family and husband. In the meantime the FL body in her world will fall into a deep sleep and time will pass slower without the inhabitants of the world realizing what's happening until the FL makes a choice.

    MC has transformed the dimensional space she came to into a giant headquarters of sorts. There are various counselors to help characters deal with their trauma, people who take the role as systems to help the characters in their new worlds if needed, and matchmakers who help characters find their perfect fit whether it's romantic or familial love. Who are these people? Since MC is essentially God she was able to create these people as well as the building. Some of them are characters she rescued who decided to work for her instead of being reborn. Her power has some limits though, as she can only step in at a certain point for whatever reason which annoys her and she can not send a character back in time with their memories.

    MC then gets a notification that one of the FL she helped be reborn into another would like to speak to her. MC smiles and appears before the FL. MC takes the form of whatever goddess or mythical creature there is in that world. The FL thanks MC and tells her that she just gave birth to her first child and her husband and family have been amazing unlike in her last life where she was an orphan. The MC smiles and tells her she enjoyed watching her progress. The original plot of the world has the FL current husband as a villain having been abused as a child and having no friends which eventually lead him down a bad path. The FL however asked to be put in this world so she could befriend him early on and be the support system he needed which later evolved into a slice of life story about childhood sweethearts. MC had been surprised at first when the FL had chosen this guys profile but is happy things worked out. MC then explains that she will no longer be able to be to meet with her anymore since she achieved her happy ending but reassures her she will have a long happy life. MC then leaves and watches as the FL and her ML grow old together and die together in their sleep of old age.

    So what does MC get out of this? Here's the big thing. Each client's happiness is converted into energy which helps keeps the worlds running. There's also another catch. However many years left the client would have lived in their original world, is given to MC. 1). To ensure they have no way to go back to their original world and 2). MC is collecting them for a purpose. Her best friend is still in a coma and MC is hoping that providing her with some of the other characters years will help her wake up. MC hasn't been able to find an ML worthy of her friend.

    The big conflict in the novel would be one day the MC notices in the world of one the FL's she's about to rescue, the ML of that world suddenly bursts into the room begging for forgiveness in a grand romantic gesture which flabbergasts the MC as that did not happen in the original novel. Because of this she loses her chance to rescue to the FL. To her surprise though, the ML really is reformed and dotes on the FL in the story eventually leading to a lovey dovey relationship rather than the expected tragedy.

    This happens in other worlds and the MC realizes that there is another god out there who has to power to make scum characters recall their memories of future events. Thus begins the battle between the two systems.

    The ending
    So it turns out the other system is being partly controlled by the ex-husband and the best friends husband. After the boat incident, the two realizing the truth and begged to see their loved ones again. Another god offered them the chance to help other ML's rectify their mistakes. The more energy they gather, the closer they get to getting into MC's space dimension. Anyway there's various face offs ending with the MC beating the two back to their world forever, sealing it up so no can escape it again. The best friend though is close to dying (her husband did something that cut off the life support system the MC set up for her) and the MC is in tears about how she can't save her and wishes she had found an ML worthy of her friend when the original god returns and lets the MC know that the perfect person for her best friend has been in front of her the whole time. The MC. Even when dying, her best friends last thoughts were how she wished she'd met a guy like MC and how MC was her most important person. The god smiles and tells the MC it's time for her to go after her own happy ending and everything goes black. The MC is reborn into a new fantasy themed world with a loving family. She grows up and goes to the academy where who should be waiting there for her, but her best friends who smiles at her and says "I've been waiting a very long time for you my knight," (a reference to when they were kids and the MC would play the part of the knight rescuing her best friend the princess) smiling as the MC hugs her. "I've found you at last my princess".

    Side stories: The MC still helps run the system with the previous god acting as her Vice president and when she needs a vacation she and her lover decide to go through rebirth into new worlds. Sometimes both of them are girls though her VP does enjoy having her live as a man. Before their next rebirth, her lover announces that she would like to be the ML this time and MC stay a girl. When asked why, she says "I want to see what it's like to be on top!"

    All around a happy ending

    Thanks for listening to my weird idea. What would be you ideas for characters MC would rescue and worlds she would help out as a guide in?

    i would read that in a heartbeat as long as it didnt harp on too much on the drama mentioned in the ending spoiler. Otherwise, sounds like a smashing slag-ML punishing novel.

    the world needs more novels where the shitty slag MLs get punished hard for their shittyness.
