How to Survive in Your Own Script

[A new novel just opened next door: Striving to Become the Successor of the Book Transmigration Era. Check it out if you're interested!]

Su Xiaoyi is an unknown screenwriter who writes scripts for obscure online dramas.

One sunny morning, she discovers that she has transmigrated, and into the script she wrote herself, no less.

In her melodramatic story, the character she's transmigrated into is an arrogant princess who was betrothed to the male lead. She fights both the male lead and female lead single-handedly, uses her powerful family background to get rid of the female lead, and wins the male lead's heart.

Unfortunately, she never gets the male lead's love. In the end, he kills her with a sword out of hatred, and her body sinks into the moat. By the time it's found, only a pile of bones remains.

Huh? How did a cannon-fodder character become the biggest villain?

But that doesn't matter. Su Xiaoyi decides that her main goal in this book transmigration is to stay alive. She just needs to behave herself as a supporting character, make way for the male and female leads' romance, and avoid getting killed.

However, the script she wrote herself keeps dragging her into every murder case, always as a suspect.

According to the original plot, she's supposed to casually drag the male lead into trouble, then have the female lead swoop in to save him, setting the male and female leads on a path to fight side by side.

But what she never expects is that the innocent person caught in the crossfire each time is Cheng Li, the female lead she was supposed to torment to death.

Cheng Li: Can you stop dragging me into this every single time?!

Su Xiaoyi: I don't mean to...

What surprises her most is that Cheng Li has been reborn, and is out for revenge over the grudge that made her die full of resentment in her previous life!

The Royal Book Transmigration Academy is a legendary institution in China.

But a group of miserable first-year students are struggling to avoid failing. Here's what their midterm exam looks like:

Qian Yan: "You dress as a guard, I'll dress as a maid. When we enter the book, remember to cover for me!"

Classmate A: "Be careful, don't mistake anyone for someone else. Senior is in there too, and she's the villain."

Qian Yan says confidently, "Don't worry. I got full marks in How to Tell NPCs from Real People by Their Psychology!"

Ten minutes later, the proctor watches Qian Yan drag the villain all over the place and urgently calls a halt. "Everybody out! You all failed. Prepare for the make-up exam."

The students surround Qian Yan. "Go talk to Senior. Ask her not to fail us."

With the hopes of the whole village on her shoulders, Qian Yan puts on an oversized pearl necklace and screeches up in a sports car in front of Yi Wu. "Senior, you can have either my money or me. Please let us off!"

Yi Wu pushes up her glasses. "Didn't you say yesterday that you were going to rescue me?"

Qian Yan, who has mistaken the protagonist for the villain, feels no shame at all and answers righteously, "I want to hire you to tutor me. I'll pay by the minute."

Yi Wu smiles. "I don't want money. I'll take you."
