I Transmigrated into a Book as the Evil Stepsister, but Fell for the Villain

[Villainess transmigrates into a book + airheaded beauty + secret crush + bittersweet tension] No one told Lin Baosheng that playing a villain would be like this. It wouldn't mean doing grand, outrageous evil, but enduring these little, endlessly repeated, numbing everyday humiliations, humiliating others while being humiliated herself.

[Excerpt]: Zhou Yu seemed to realize that the girl across from him had a head full of nothing and had come here like a fool, driven by her desire to save her younger brother. “So he really needs money right now.” For once, he patiently explained.

Lin Baosheng's back slowly stiffened. “You mean…?”

She transmigrates into a book as the wicked stepsister. Her mission is to stir up trouble, make a scene, and trip people up. Once the male and female leads finally get together, she can wrap up her role and leave.

Everyone is playing their part. The male lead is noble and bright, while the female lead is gentle yet resilient.

Only he refuses to follow the script or play by the rules.

Even though she's playing the person he hates most, she can't help watching him from afar. Others fear him, but she wants him to win everything, even if it means she can never go back.

Later, her stepbrother notices something is wrong and asks with a frown, “Why do you keep hanging around that guy?”

She smiles bitterly.

Her stepbrother freezes, as if he's just stumbled on some ridiculous joke. “Someone like him needs you to protect him?”
