I was always telling my friends that the world felt like a novel, and I was just some passerby in it. I wasn't even an NPC who handed out quests to move the plot along, just a quiet spectator watching the drama unfold. And not even a successful one at that: I was the kind of passerby who couldn't even get there in time to watch the show. A passerby's other purpose was to highlight how outstanding the protagonist was, serving as a perfectly adequate audience member.
Then one day, I transmigrated into a book and discovered that my words had come true. I had become a passerby in a novel, but with an enviable front-row seat: I was the female lead's roommate!
From my experience reading countless novels, the closer you are to the female lead, the more likely you are to become cannon fodder. Desperate to return to the real world, I went into full-on death-seeking mode, trying to get myself killed so I could go back. After a series of failed attempts, I decided to accept my fate and be a quiet passerby watching the drama from the front row. But fate had other plans. Not only was I growing closer and closer to the female lead, but my relationships with her male lead and supporting male characters were getting increasingly complicated... Why was the supporting male character, who was supposed to pin the female lead against the wall, pinning me, a mere passerby, instead? Why was the male lead, who was supposed to force the female lead into a relationship, sneaking kisses with me? And why had the female lead become the one watching the drama from the front row?
Su Wenyao said to the original female lead, "You're sitting in my front-row seat to watch the drama."
The original female lead just smiled knowingly. "Whoever sits in it gets to claim it."
My new work is out! Feel free to read it on Tomato Novel. I hope you enjoy it. Your support motivates me to write, and I'll do my best to tell every story well!
