Transmigrated as the Beast World's Female Lead's Foil

When Lin Xiaoman woke up in a tropical rainforest, she discovered that she'd become the foil female character in a transmigration novel. The original heroine, Su Wanwan, had a pocket-space System and used modern knowledge to thrive among the beastfolk. But Lin Xiaoman, her namesake and the designated foil, was a disaster-bringer who had been exiled.

The rainforest nights were full of dangers. Lin Xiaoman huddled in a cave, listening to the roars of beasts in the distance. She had no power to foresee danger and no endless supplies. All she had was a copy of A Wilderness Survival Guide she'd found in her backpack. While Su Wanwan used antibiotics to heal an injured beastfolk warrior, Lin Xiaoman crouched beside a stream, crushing calamus to disinfect a wound. While Su Wanwan lit a bonfire with a lighter, Lin Xiaoman rubbed sticks together to make sparks.

A new prophecy began to spread through the tribe: the disaster-bringer had brought not a curse, but the spark of fire. When the rainy season caused a flash flood, Lin Xiaoman built a bamboo raft to save the stranded elders. When winter came, she taught the beastfolk to weave warm clothes from tree bark. Her presence was like a mirror, reflecting the arrogance that Su Wanwan had acquired from being spoiled by her System. When the original heroine tried to trade glass beads for the tribe's trust, the beastfolk warriors preferred to trade their prey for Lin Xiaoman's hand-drawn herb guides.

The real turning point came during the tribe's migration. Su Wanwan's pocket space suddenly stopped working, and in her panic, she revealed just how little she knew about the beast world. Drawing on the survival skills she'd accumulated, Lin Xiaoman led the tribe to a new home. Under the moonlight, the beastfolk chieftain placed a feathered crown, a symbol of wisdom, on her head. From far away came Su Wanwan's shriek: “This isn't fair! I'm the one who's supposed to be the heroine chosen by fate!”
