    "After Transmigrating into the Villain, I Survived by Doing Nothing" Su Qingyuan opened her eyes to find herself transmigrated into an old-fashioned CEO romance novel, her identity as a vicious female supporting character with the same name and a tragic end. The original owner was infatuated with the male lead and relentlessly targeted the female lead, eventually being sent to a mental hospital by the male lead, who, unable to bear it any longer, saw her family go bankrupt. "Thanks for the invitation, whoever wants to act in this script can act it," Su Qingyuan yawned, deciding to do nothing on the spot. According to the plot, today she was supposed to go to the coffee shop where the female lead worked to cause trouble and throw scalding hot coffee at her. Su Qingyuan, carrying a limited-edition bag, leisurely strolled into the coffee shop, but went straight to the counter: "An iced Americano, less ice." The female lead, Lin Weiwei, was stunned, clearly not expecting this reaction, and carefully made the coffee and handed it to her. Su Qingyuan took it, and when scanning the code to pay, gave her an extra twenty yuan: "Keep the change, it's a tip." She then turned and left, leaving a bewildered Lin Weiwei. Fu Jingshen, the male lead observing from the shadows: "???" This isn't the same information he received about "Su Qingyuan causing a scene at the coffee shop"! The next day, the plot point is that the original owner will tear the female lead's dress at the banquet. Su Qingyuan, dressed to the nines, immediately spotted Lin Weiwei in a white dress. She walked over, and Lin Weiwei nervously clutched her skirt. Unexpectedly, Su Qingyuan simply glanced at her up and down and sincerely complimented, "The dress is quite pretty, send me the link?" Lin Weiwei: "... Huh?" Fu Jingshen's hand holding the wine glass paused slightly, and he began to suspect that Su Qingyuan had been possessed. Even more absurdly, when Su Qingyuan was supposed to frame the female lead and send her to prison in the original plot, she was lying at home applying a face mask, browsing negative news about Fu Jingshen's company, and even casually liking a marketing post. Fu Jingshen looked at the news of his company's stock price plummeting on his phone, then at Su Qingyuan leisurely munching on watermelon in the surveillance footage, and for the first time, his judgment began to waver. This villain, why isn't she following the script?! Fu Jingshen had his men investigate Su Qingyuan's recent whereabouts, only to find absurd things like "checking in at a trendy dessert shop," "going on a shopping spree at a luxury store," and "anonymously sending a small tip to a rival company." The more he looked, the more confused he became, so he decided to go see her in person. Su Qingyuan, with a mud mask on and a dark expression, opened the door. Seeing Fu Jingshen in a suit and tie, she raised an eyebrow: "Mr. Fu, is this to deliver the admission notice to a mental hospital?" Fu Jingshen: "..." He had indeed considered that, but now he was more interested in knowing what she was up to. "You've been acting very strangely lately," he said bluntly. "Is it unusual?" Su Qingyuan ripped off her face mask, revealing a fair complexion. "I think it's perfectly normal. Compared to chasing after you before, my life goal now is to lie down and wait until the end of time." She stepped aside to let him in, then nestled into the sofa, popping a strawberry into her mouth. "If Mr. Fu has nothing else to do, please leave. I'm going to a spa this afternoon; I don't have time to play your 'Why doesn't the villain cause trouble?' Reasoning game." Fu Jingshen stared at her, trying to find any trace of pretense in her eyes, but all he saw was openness and... A love for strawberries. Just then, Su Qingyuan's phone rang. It was her snobbish mother from the original owner of the body: "Qingyuan! Why haven't you gone to find Jingshen yet? That little bitch Lin Weiwei showed up at his company again! Go and tear her apart!" Su Qingyuan pressed the speakerphone button and said lazily, "Mom, tearing people apart is too tiring. Besides, I've recently discovered that Fu Jingshen is face-blind; he can't distinguish between beautiful women and strangers. Asking me to argue with someone face-blind is beneath me." Fu Jingshen: "???" When did he become face-blind? After hanging up the phone, Su Qingyuan shrugged at Fu Jingshen: "See? It's not that I don't want to follow the script, it's just that this script is too ridiculously stupid." Fu Jingshen didn't say anything, and as he turned to leave, he heard a voice behind him: "By the way, Mr. Fu, your company's new financial product has an absurdly low rate of return. I suggest you check with the risk control department, lest it collapse and drag down my company's stock." He paused, turned back to look at the woman leisurely on the sofa, and for the first time felt that this "vicious female supporting character" seemed to have something special. What Su Qingyuan didn't know was that her act of playing dumb not only changed Fu Jingshen's opinion of her, but also unexpectedly gained her a group of "anti-routine" fans. Someone posted her unconventional behavior online with the title: "Shocking!" The article, titled "The Villainous Female Supporting Character Suddenly Awakens, Focusing on Making Money, Not Men," received a flood of applause in the comments section: "Sister, you're so clear-headed! Making money is much better than chasing men!" "Fu Jingshen, step back, don't delay my relaxation!" "Please, sister, give me the same face mask and strawberry link!" Su Qingyuan scrolled through the comments, finished her last strawberry, and let out a satisfied burp. Hmm, the feeling of giving up is really good. Meanwhile, Fu Jingshen's interest in Su Qingyuan had already changed with each of their "anti-routine" encounters. He began to unconsciously pay attention to her activities—if he saw her checking in at a trendy restaurant, he would have his assistant look up the address; if he saw her complaining about a bad movie, he would silently cross that movie off his watchlist; even for the new bag she showed off online, he would have the brand send a copy to his office, claiming it was for "competitive research," but he never actually opened it. That day, Su Qingyuan was cornered at the mall by the original owner's cousin. Her cousin, hands on her hips, berated her for being "ungrateful," blaming her for turning down a golden opportunity like Fu Jingshen and instead being "unproductive." Just as Su Qingyuan was about to retort, a cold voice interrupted: "Since when has it been anyone's business to interfere in my affairs with Miss Su?" Fu Jingshen appeared behind her, impeccably dressed in a suit, exuding an aura of authority. Her cousin turned pale with fright, stammering, unable to speak. He ignored her, walking straight to Su Qingyuan's side, his gaze landing on the milk tea in her hand: "What did you buy?" "Pearl milk tea, less sugar, no ice." Su Qingyuan answered instinctively, then realized something was amiss. "Mr. Fu, were you following me?" "Just passing by." He remained expressionless, naturally taking the shopping bag from her other hand. "It's quite heavy, let me help you." Su Qingyuan raised an eyebrow. When did this man become so "helpful"? The two walked out side by side when Fu Jingshen suddenly spoke, "Don't take what your cousin said to heart." "I don't care." Su Qingyuan took a sip of her milk tea. "But you, Mr. Fu, you're always hanging around me. Aren't you afraid of being misunderstood?" He paused slightly and turned to look at her. Sunlight streamed through the mall's glass facade, softening his usually cold and hard features. "Misunderstand what?" "Misunderstand that you're interested in me," Su Qingyuan said half-jokingly, but her heart skipped a beat—she seemed to be getting more and more used to his presence. Fu Jingshen didn't deny it. Instead, he took a half-step forward, closing the distance until she could smell the faint scent of cedar on him. "What if I said it wasn't a misunderstanding?" Su Qingyuan's heart skipped a beat, and the straw in her milk tea almost poked her lips. She abruptly turned her face away: "Mr. Fu, don't joke like that. I'm not interested in the male lead in domineering CEO novels." "I'm not Fu Jingshen from those novels either." His voice was deep, with a hint of seriousness that was barely perceptible. "I'm the Fu Jingshen standing here now, wanting to understand Su Qingyuan." From then on, Fu Jingshen's pursuit was straightforward and clumsy. He no longer used "just passing by" as an excuse, but openly appeared in her life—when she went to a spa, he was in the next private room discussing work; when she went to an art exhibition, he had a ticket for the same thing; even when she was lying at home watching TV, he would bring her favorite strawberry cake under the pretext of "delivering documents." Su Qingyuan complained that he was "disrupting her plan to slack off," but her heart softened as if it had been warmed by water. She discovered that this man wasn't as cold-blooded as in the "script." He would remember that she didn't eat cilantro, would silently stand in front of her when she was surrounded by fans, and would quietly help her solve her problems when she casually complained about work. The turning point came at a business cocktail party. According to the original novel's plot, the female protagonist, Lin Weiwei, was supposed to confess her feelings to Fu Jingshen at the party, but Su Qingyuan's cousin sabotaged her by splashing red wine on Su Qingyuan. "I'm sorry, Qingyuan-jie, I didn't mean to!" Lin Weiwei apologized, her eyes red. Her cousin fanned the flames, saying, "You must be jealous of Weiwei and deliberately bumped into her!" Su Qingyuan was about to wipe the wine stains off her when Fu Jingshen grabbed her wrist. He took off his suit jacket, draped it over her shoulders, and led her through the crowd, leaving everyone stunned. "Ignore them." He shoved her into the car, handing her a clean tissue. "I'll take you home." The car was silent the entire way. As they approached the Su family's building, Su Qingyuan suddenly spoke: "Fu Jingshen, what exactly do you like about me?" He turned his head, the streetlights dancing in his eyes: "I like that you don't follow the script, I like that you live so clearly and honestly, I like... That you are Su Qingyuan." Su Qingyuan's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the man's earnest eyes, she suddenly laughed: "Hey, CEO, that's a bit corny." Fu Jingshen also laughed, a rare, warm laugh: "How about something else?" He leaned closer, his voice low and burning hot, "Su Qingyuan, stop giving up, try me?" Su Qingyuan didn't answer, but as he was about to step back, she reached out and hooked his tie, gently pulling him closer. The moonlight outside the window was perfect, the aroma of strawberry cake in the car mingling with the scent of cedar on him, becoming the sweetest footnote to the night. Later, the internet was abuzz with stories of the Fu Group president's "clumsy" pursuit of his wife—someone photographed him queuing at a dessert shop to buy macarons that Su Qingyuan loved, others saw him awkwardly taking photos of Su Qingyuan at a popular Instagram spot, and still others discovered that he had invested in Su Qingyuan's company, citing "the boss's good judgment." Su Qingyuan looked at the trending topics on her phone and playfully kicked the man beside her: "President Fu, you're so love-struck, be careful you don't get scolded by the shareholders." Fu Jingshen pulled her into his arms, his chin resting on the top of her head: "Let them scold me, anyway, my current life goal is to make Su Qingyuan happy even if she's just doing nothing."

    The first book is great; the plot is very engaging, and I read it every day. It's a bit of a shame it's still being serialized. The second book is my favorite—a quick transmigration story with several smaller worlds. The female lead is very likable. The third book has excellent writing; the female lead is gentle yet intelligent. The fourth book is super good; the female lead is rational and clear-headed, always knowing what she wants.
