[Ensemble cast, transmigration into a book, supporting female character, laid-back heroine, third-person perspective, unconventional, lighthearted, not a strong heroine, not traditional.]
After transmigrating into a book, Xi Ninghe had hoped to quietly become rich. But after living in this world for sixteen years, she was forced to follow the plot and found herself in awe of the heroine's looks and talent.
Only after following the plot did she realize the original story had long since gone completely off the rails.
Looking through the shadow cast by the original novel, she saw everyone behind the story. They weren't flat characters who existed only to revolve around the leads. Each was a sun or moon, living a brilliant life of their own.
Everyone is the protagonist of their own life; no one exists merely to play a supporting role for someone else. Once Xi Ninghe realized that derailing the plot wouldn't affect the world's operation, she decided to let the storm rage even harder.
The male lead kills for the heroine? Take him out first!
The heroine starts a rebellion to save the male lead? Take her out next!
The second male lead falls for the supporting heroine? Just make her yours!
(Slow-burn character growth. The heroine's golden finger is subtle. She sees everything from an omniscient perspective and doesn't think of herself as anyone in the book, so she can be a little cold-hearted. She's a laid-back person who takes life as it comes and occasionally wants to make some money, though she'll change somewhat later on. This is an ensemble story with a large cast.)
