Transmigrate into a Book: I Became the Family Darling in the Nineties

Xie Xingying woke up to find herself in a period novel as a villainess who had the winning hand from the start, yet somehow managed to play it terribly. When she opened her eyes, she was threatening kindergarteners into giving her their snacks, acting just like a little schoolyard thug. Worst of all, the child she was bullying would soon see his family fall apart: his father would die in an accident, his mother would run off with all the family’s money, and he would become an orphan. Most importantly, this wasn’t just an ordinary period novel. This boy was the protagonist of the orphanage novel next door. As a villainess in a period novel, she was already destined to fall for her adoptive parents’ biological son, do every wicked thing imaginable for his sake, and exhaust all the goodwill her adoptive parents had toward her. Then they would throw her out, and she would meet a tragic end. Now she had crossed the orphanage novel’s male lead too. Was fate telling her she was doomed? No. My fate is mine to decide, not heaven’s. Xie Xingying decided to save herself, starting by turning her bullying of the male lead into recruiting him as her underling. But why was this underling getting more and more disobedient? Weren’t we supposed to put brotherhood above all else, with the boss your boss for life? And why had my brother, who was born into wealth, become friends with the orphanage novel’s male lead? No! The orphanage novel’s male lead is cursed with bad luck. You can’t handle him! Let go of the male lead and leave him to me. I have a Merit System. I can take it! Xie Xingying worked hard to save herself, but somehow became everyone’s favorite. It was all because she was just too adorable!
