Huh? How Did I Become the Villainess?

The arrival of a transfer student made Lin Xi suddenly realize that she was living in the world of a novel.

Oh, so she was about to enjoy a wonderful high school romance? The answer was… no!

Oh, so Lin Xi was just a supporting female character. Fine, so be it. The male lead wasn’t her idealized crush anyway, so she might as well enjoy her own quiet life.

Then she discovered that she was the villainess, too!

What kind of happy ending could a villainess possibly get? Lin Xi would have to fight back against fate!

What? The plot’s destined tragedy can’t be avoided?

Lin Xi said she was losing her hair over this and begged them to stop.

In short, she wasn’t going to accept her fate!

She would take control of her own life. And it would be even better if she could win over her campus crush, who seemed sunny and perfect on the surface but was a gloomy, twisted mess underneath.

Gu Yi knew that Lin Xi liked the persona he put on: gentle, sunny, cheerful, and kind.

If she knew how dark and insecure he really was, would she still like him? He didn’t dare take that gamble, so he kept trying to play the part. After all, he could be the brightest person by Lin Xi’s side.

But later, he realized that he would always be overshadowed by the protagonist of this world. His faith crumbled. Since she would no longer be able to see him in the future, he might as well throw caution to the wind and let her see who he truly was.

Lin Xi said, “I liked the old Gu Yi, and I love you as you are now.”

Gu Yi: “Huh?”

A gloomy boy who had long been manipulated into believing that no one could love him unless he was perfect meets a girl who loves him for who he really is, and suddenly the whole world turns warm.

This isn’t a conventional wish-fulfillment story. There are no golden fingers, and it focuses heavily on campus life.
