I transmigrated into a book? And not only that, I became an incidental character in it. The original was a sprawling Mary Sue story, so naturally I ended up as an incidental character who had a crush on the protagonist. The book is narrated in the first person, from "my" perspective. After transmigrating into the book, for one reason or another, I joined the protagonist's group on an "adventure."
Our journey made me realize that on this fantastical continent, most of the spirits and monsters described in the book prey on humans. We also went through plenty of life-threatening moments. The protagonist's role was to defeat the villains and free the poor people they had oppressed. As a witness, I also played an important part along the way... Though I was just an incidental character who could easily be left out, the protagonist's group had one more person with me. So doesn't that mean I played the useful role of making up the numbers?
Later, because I was a transmigrator with a soul that didn't belong to that world, a powerful being set its sights on me and made a contract, using my soul as the price. In return, it granted me immense spiritual power...
When the story in the book reaches its end, will I be able to return to the real world, or will my soul be trapped in the book forever?
Why, after I transmigrated into the book, was Bai Xihe, the protagonist, nicer to me, an incidental character, than to the female lead? I always thought it might be because of my own charm. But the truth wasn't what I imagined: there was no sweet childhood-friends romance between the protagonist and me, nor was there love at first sight. The male lead approached me from the start with his own ulterior motive. When I learned the truth, a chill ran through me.
