The Transmigrated Book Side Character Goes Live

My next book, The Tragic Novel's Heroine Refuses to Follow the Plot, is coming soon. Please add it to your collection!

Blurb

Ji Man, a spoiled heiress born into a wealthy family who bosses everyone around and does whatever she pleases, wakes up to find herself inside a book. Worse, she's become the villainess in a rebirth novel, the one the heroine humiliates with endless face-slapping.

By this point, the villainess has already been tricked by the heroine into marrying a blind, crippled man.

The man's face is pale, and his dark eyes stare unfocused into the distance. He says softly, “I know you don't want to marry me. I've already drawn up the divorce papers.”

Looking at the man before her, Ji Man smiles boldly. “Who said I don't want to marry you?”

[Bonus Scene]

Hearing that Jiang Zhi was facing off against the male lead, Ji Man rushes back, afraid her own poor little darling might get bullied.

The moment he sees her, the man immediately suppresses the malice in his eyes. His hands clutch the arms of his wheelchair, and his expression turns desolate. “You're right. I'm nothing but a cripple.”

Seeing her poor, sensitive darling so lacking in confidence, Ji Man's heart twists painfully. She takes Jiang Zhi's hand. “That's not true. A Zhi is the best.”

Then, in the next instant, she turns and glares coldly at the male lead.

The male lead is bewildered. Just a moment ago, the man had looked ready to kill someone, and now he was acting like this? He turns to look at Ji Man, who really does look ready to kill.

Only then does he realize...

He'd been played!

Looking at Jiang Zhi behind Ji Man, all he can think is: What the hell do you mean, innocent, insecure poor little darling?

Only later does Ji Man discover that the man at her side is no poor little darling. He's a wolf in sheep's clothing. Unable to contain her anger, she kicks him. He doesn't dodge, only buries his face in the hollow of her neck and murmurs her name.

I found the light that belongs to me. I'll never let it go, until death.

A sharp-tongued heiress who takes on the world × a blind, crippled poor little darling

The Tragic Novel's Heroine Refuses to Follow the Plot

Su Ling is the substitute heroine in a novel about heartbreak, suffering, and doomed romance.

She's beautiful, delicate, and pitiful. After meeting the male lead, Shen Mingyan, she's deceived by the beautiful illusion and thinks she's found salvation. Little does she know that she's stepped into another abyss.

Shen Mingyan sees her only as a substitute for the unattainable woman he loves. After a string of tragedies involving misunderstandings, abuse, a kidney transplant, and forced love, she still falls hopelessly in love with him.

The author seems intent on making suffering the story's central theme. In the end, Su Ling is struck and killed by a truck that comes out of nowhere while saving Shen Mingyan. She dies at just twenty-one.

Only her death makes Shen Mingyan finally realize who he loves.

How ironic.

When Su Ling opens her eyes again, she's standing in a bar, watching Shen Mingyan not far away.

“How could she ever compare to Qingqing? I'm just playing around with her.”

Why hadn't she gone back to the moment she first met Shen Mingyan? Still, it wasn't too late.

This time, she could finally take control of her own life.

However, Shen Mingyan comes from one of the most powerful families in the country. He has vast influence, and he always gets whatever he wants.

Unless she dies, escaping him is impossible.

After much thought, Su Ling turns her gaze toward the real head of the Shen family

After awakening,

her beauty, delicacy, and pitiful air become weapons that never fail her.

The first time Shen Tingyan sees her, she's putting on a calculated act, playing the sweet, manipulative girl. She stumbles into his arms, the corners of her eyes turning red, her watery gaze full of sorrow. She's utterly pitiful.

He sees right through her act at a glance, yet can't help stopping in front of her.

He only meant to watch the show. Who knew she'd end up clinging to him?

From then on, the aloof and untouchable head of the Shen family is dragged from his pedestal by Su Ling.

On a certain hot, damp night, the man's long-fingered hand covers the woman's slender throat and slowly tightens. His low voice is steeped in gloom. “Are you using me?”

Su Ling smiles without answering. She wraps her arms around him, pulls him down, and tilts her head to kiss his cool, thin lips.

A cool, captivating beauty × a dark, unhinged tycoon

1. The heroine is sharp-tongued and tough, not delicate. The male lead seems like a pitiful weakling but is actually a ruthless powerhouse. They both get better later on.

3. Every detail in the story serves the plot. Please don't nitpick.
