Yu Weiwei was a dodder spirit who lived in seclusion to cultivate. Then she transmigrated.
In her previous life, she spent two months saving a man so stunningly handsome he took her breath away. He said he wanted to repay her kindness.
Yu Weiwei told him there was no need. She had saved him without expecting anything in return, but he insisted.
Not only did he want to repay her, he wanted to give her all his possessions. He even wanted to offer himself to her.
The dodder spirit simply couldn't handle the human enthusiasm for repaying kindness. She died in a car accident while trying to escape. Her last memory before passing away was of the man kneeling at the scene, holding her and telling her to wait for him.
He even looked pretty handsome while crying.
In her new life, she activated a System.
The System told Yu Weiwei that this was a novel's world. As the villainess, she had stolen the identity of the heroine's lifesaver, causing the entire plot to collapse, so she had been erased.
Yu Weiwei suddenly understood.
The System said that an identity as precious as a lifesaver could not be allowed to go to a vicious supporting female character like her.
It had to be given to the heroine, to highlight how special she was.
Yu Weiwei thought the System sounded pretty wise. So, before the male lead woke up, she and the System took him to the heroine and let them begin the novel's first-meeting scene.
The heroine, Song Ran, who found the injured male lead, smoothly claimed the role of his lifesaver.
Everything went off without a hitch. Grateful for her saving him, the male lead and his family brought her home, where she began living the life of a young lady from a top-tier wealthy family.
The heroine, an actress, also became a rising star in the entertainment industry with the male lead's family backing her every step of the way.
Seeing the entertainment papers portray them as a couple, Yu Weiwei felt that at last her life was safe.
Given how determined the male lead had been to repay her in her previous life, he and the heroine should get engaged and married in no time, and have their names entered in the family register.
That is, until they came to the mountain manor where she lived in seclusion to film a wildly popular variety show about anime.
When Yu Weiwei appeared before the leads again, she was the vicious supporting female character who envied the heroine for being favored. Her daily tasks were to bully the heroine on the livestream, covet the male lead, and risk her life to highlight the heroine's gentleness and kindness.
There was no supporting character in the world as dedicated to her job as her.
The System said that once the leads got married, she could return to the world of spirits.
But no matter how long she waited, that day never came.

Song Ran had always known she was the heroine of a novel. The male lead's parents doted on her and treated her like their future daughter-in-law.
So no matter how distant and polite Xie Qingci was toward her, she still felt sweet inside.
She knew that one day the male lead would fall deeply in love with her and marry her, making her the envy of everyone as the young madam of the Xie family.
Xie Qingci was a very gentle man. He had never once questioned her, and as time went by, she played her part so well that she forgot she wasn't really his lifesaver.
All she remembered was the powerful bond between them, forged when she saved his life.
But for years, even though Xie Qingci knew she had saved his life, he had never agreed to marry her.
And her faith began to crumble after Yu Weiwei, that vicious supporting female character, appeared.
She watched Xie Qingci, a man as cold as ice, entangle himself with Yu Weiwei by any means, orbiting her with fierce insistence and abject humility. It drove her mad.
No, this was wrong... She was the heroine! How had everything gone wrong?!
Yu Weiwei didn't know what had gone wrong either.
In her previous life, the male lead had said he clung to her to repay her kindness.
But in this life, she'd given the heroine the identity of his lifesaver. Why was the male lead still clinging to her?
Could people really have such a double standard?!
Hey?!

Amid the morning bells and evening drums in the mountains, the man removed the sandalwood-scented Buddhist beads he had worn around his wrist for years. He kissed the girl's eyes, red from crying, and held her gently but firmly.
"There, there. Don't cry, good girl. Big Brother will repay you."
You're a liar!
/Fallen-from-grace Buddhist cultivator x dodder spirit who flirts without realizing it/
[Important]
1. In the second life, the male lead really does initially think Song Ran is his lifesaver, but he's the one fixated on the heroine.
2. The male lead really is a Buddhist cultivator.
