The Reborn Villain Grew a Romance Brain, and the Plot Went Off the Rails

Jiang Jingxi transmigrated into a book.

She became a hapless supporting female character, a stepping stone for the male and female leads, and was fated to die horribly at the male lead’s enthronement ceremony.

She wanted to turn her fate around, but Heaven’s will forced her to follow the plot. Deviating from the main storyline meant death.

Since she was going to die either way, she decided to take an unconventional path and fight to survive in the cracks.

And so...

Jiang Jingxi set her sights on Lu Yan’an, the great villain who was also doomed to die in the original story, and formed an alliance with him to survive against fate.

She helped the leads along, fulfilling her role as a hapless supporting character, while building a good relationship with the villain and preparing for the future.

What she didn’t know was that the villain had been reborn.

Not only was the way this career-driven man looked at her growing more and more peculiar, he was always plotting to kill the male lead and take his place.

Jiang Jingxi: “!!!”

She wanted to help the villain survive, but the villain kept trying to cut off her escape routes!

After Jiang Jingxi once again foiled the villain’s plan to assassinate the male lead, the red-eyed villain pinned her trembling self into a corner and demanded, “Do you like him that much? How am I worse than he is? Is killing him the only way to make you notice me?”

Jiang Jingxi: “...”

What in the world...

How had the plot suddenly gone so off the rails?

How had the career-driven villain developed a lovesick heart?!!!
