The Background Girl Wins the Male Lead's Love at First Sight

[A cool and aloof young heiress on the surface but a drama queen underneath, and a gentle-seeming, possessive young master]

Qiao Xi transmigrates into a novel as a background female character. All she has to do is show up at the scene whenever the leads’ relationship reaches a major turning point.

There are three key plot points:

First, at the start of the new semester at S University, the male lead, Bai Yuchen, is a student volunteer. He falls in love at first sight with the female lead, Lin Yueran, a junior in his department, and asks for her contact information. Qiao Xi, a background character, happens to be standing right behind her.

Second, it is an S University tradition that during military training, students vote for the campus belle and campus heartthrob, who perform together at the opening ceremony of the freshmen welcome gala. The male lead, Bai Yuchen, will rally votes for the female lead in his social media feed. After Lin Yueran wins campus belle, she and Bai Yuchen, the campus heartthrob, rehearse together and grow closer. Qiao Xi, in her background role, comes in second in the campus belle poll.

Third, during the basketball game between S University and neighboring A University, Bai Yuchen walks up to Lin Yueran, a cheerleader, in front of students from both schools and asks her to cheer him on. Qiao Xi, also a cheerleader, witnesses the scene. After the game, the leads officially get together.

But after Qiao Xi arrives, things go like this: At the start of the semester, the male lead ignores the female lead and instead looks at Qiao Xi tenderly. “Hi, would you mind giving me your contact information?”

When they vote for campus belle, the male lead posts, “Vote for my wife,” on his social media feed. The photo, however, is of Qiao Xi.

At the basketball game, the male lead walks straight up to Qiao Xi, bends down slightly, and gazes at her. “Xi Xi, could you cheer me on?”
