Jun Xiyu transmigrated into a vicious supporting female character in a book who shared her exact name.
In the story, the original "her" was in love with the male lead, Yu Yanlin. She killed the heroine, Bai Hua, and was ultimately slain by the man she loved.
To avoid an unnatural death, she painstakingly devised a three-step survival plan, making sure not to break character.
First, seize every opportunity to appear harmless in front of Yu Yanlin.
Jun Xiyu: Brother Yanlin, you like good girls, so I'll be a good girl.
Yu Yanlin: No need.
Jun Xiyu: Trust me, Brother Yanlin. Really, I'll be kind.
Yu Yanlin: There's a bug to your right.
Jun Xiyu: Hurry and kill it for me!
Second, become a devoted matchmaker, doing everything in her power to make Yu Yanlin happy, even if it costs her life.
Jun Xiyu: Brother Yanlin, Sister Bai Hua's birthday is in a few days. I heard handmade gifts are the most heartfelt.
Yu Yanlin: For example?
Jun Xiyu: A rabbit lantern you made yourself would be perfect.
A little over a month later, at the Lantern Festival, Jun Xiyu received a rabbit lantern Yu Yanlin had made with his own hands. She also learned that he'd gotten several bloody puncture wounds from bamboo splinters while making it.
Finally, maintain her lovesick persona and use a retreat to advance, subtly letting Yu Yanlin understand that the greatest kindness she could show him was to let him go.
Jun Xiyu: Brother Yanlin, it's all right if you don't like me. As long as you and Sister Bai Hua can be happy, that's enough.
Yu Yanlin: Who said that?
Jun Xiyu: What?
Yu Yanlin: Who said I don't like you?
Huh?! Seriously, wasn't the story supposed to go differently...?
Getting started is always the hardest part. Jun Xiyu never imagined she'd get stuck not only on the first step of her plan, but on every single step.

#I Focused on Keeping Up My Persona and Ended Up Winning the Male Lead#
#One Wrong Step, and Every Step After Is Wrong#
Yu Yanlin's inner monologue: He doesn't like good girls. He only likes her.
No borrowing plot ideas.
