I Reincarnated as the Villainess in a Period Novel, So I Choose to Run Away

Shi Yan transmigrates into a period novel she has just finished reading.

In the original story, she is the heroine's most trusted friend. Fooled and used by the heroine's false kindness, she takes the blame for every scandal and mistake. The heroine basks in her good reputation, praised by everyone as a kind girl, while Shi Yan is left reviled and despised by the whole village.

After transmigrating into the book, Shi Yan makes up her mind: her first priority is to tear off the mask of friendship, cut ties with the original heroine, and stay far away. If she can't afford to offend her, she can at least keep clear of her!

Shen Yun is on a mission in space when an accident sends his soul tumbling into the world of a book, where he becomes the tragic second male lead who revolves around the heroine.

His fate was supposed to be an endless cycle of paying for things and doing the work for the hero and heroine, silently sacrificing himself as their stepping stone.

With the entire plot fresh in his mind, all he wants is to make a quick getaway. Who would willingly play this thankless fall-back guy?

The two of them both avoid the original leads' storyline and meet by chance.

Both knowing how the story is supposed to unfold, they band together, build careers, make a living, and tear apart the scheming white lotus. Even in those harsh times, they thrive, find their way to each other, and save one another.
