After I Transmigrated into a Book, I Refused to Follow the Script

Zhong Ranyun thought she’d had enough bad luck for one lifetime. Her parents died when she was fourteen, and she went from a comfortable life to a rented room in a county town. After completing nine years of compulsory education, she scraped by on odd jobs and frugal living. Then, while collecting recyclables, she came across a melodramatic romance novel. The heroine had exactly the same name as her. Reading about this “Zhong Ranyun,” who lived in luxury but was tormented by the male lead and his rival while they both claimed to love her, then obediently married and had five children, made her so furious that she spent an entire hour cursing out the author that night. Then she stepped into thin air while going out to collect free eggs and fell to her death. When she opened her eyes again, she had become the novel’s heroine, the one who was tortured half to death. Zhong Ranyun sneered. “A tragic romance? Who says only the heroine has to suffer? You two, the male lead and his rival, just wait. I refuse to follow the script.” She quickly set out to enjoy her new life and tear into the male lead and his rival, wrecking the plot completely and vowing to live life on her own terms. The male lead is just asking to get beaten up. She can’t stand him for even a second. Meanwhile, her stepmother, who should have been nothing more than a minor character, keeps sending her flirtatious signals. Zhong Ranyun is baffled. “That wasn’t in the script! Why is this gorgeous stepmother flirting with me instead of following the usual plot?”
