Saving the Short-Lived Supporting Female Character (Transmigrate into a Book)

The full story has been revised, mainly to fix typos and a few logic bugs.

Ning Jue transmigrates into an old-school tragic romance novel. In the story, the supporting female character Ling Yunting cripples both legs and suffers lasting injuries while saving the male lead. He then uses her as a cultivation furnace to increase his power and as a tool for bearing children. She dies less than a hundred years later, a thoroughly disposable character.

There's another essential tool character, too: a spirit radish.

"In the tenth year of the Immortal Era, the radish spirit overcame its tribulation while establishing its foundation, setting a precedent for monster cultivators becoming immortals." A few chapters after the radish spirit begins building its foundation, the male lead gets into trouble, and the radish is accidentally mistaken for ginseng and boiled into a bowl of radish soup.

For once, Ning Jue feels sorry for a radish. After all, the main ingredient in that bowl of soup is Ning Jue's new body...

She has barely transmigrated when the male lead grabs her by her little radish leaves. "Yunting, this thousand-year-old ginseng is an excellent tonic. If we absorb it, we'll surely advance several realms."

Ning Jue: I'm a radish! I don't have that kind of power!

Ling Yunting, the miserable supporting character in an old-fashioned novel, is badly injured, yet still sends Ning Jue somewhere safe. "She had a hard time cultivating. Let her go."

Ning Jue, overjoyed and in tears: Fairy big sister, I'll repay you!

Later, when Ling Yunting is abandoned by everyone and physically and emotionally exhausted, she finds a little apprentice behind her who takes her surname. She names her Ling Qingjue.

When the amnesiac apprentice falls into demonic cultivation, she takes care of her. When danger strikes during an expedition, she carries her. When her master is hurt and needs heavenly treasures, she gives them to her.

Years later, Ling Yunting is alive and well, and has left the scumbag behind. Ling Qingjue keeps quietly playing her role, her good deeds known to no one.

Then the person she thought she'd never see again suddenly shows up at her door, shamelessly persistent. "Disciple, do you not want your master anymore?"

Ling Yunting is the lofty Venerable Yunting of the Weichen Sect. She has always kept herself apart from worldly affairs, devoting herself to cultivation and aspiring to the immortal path. But after falling in love with a radish from the mortal world, she is willing to give up immortality and become an ordinary cultivator who can feel pain, suffer injuries, and die.

"The sea is deep, yet not as deep as longing. The sea has shores, but longing knows no bounds."

Coming soon: Doomsday Girl's Wilderness Survival Show, set in the entertainment industry.

Wen Renmei is the last child born in the apocalypse. Her father and relatives die protecting her, and after giving birth to her, her mother becomes food for the zombies. In the end, Wen Renmei is left waiting for the zombies to finish eating her mother and come for her.

Fortunately, an apocalypse survival team rescues her and names her Wen Renmei, hoping she will be beautiful in both face and heart, and that her life will be lovely, too.

Wen Renmei grows up to be stunningly beautiful, just as expected. But she is neither kindhearted nor particularly fortunate, and she is very good at chopping off zombie heads, one at a time.

In the 270th year of the apocalypse, the sun draws ever closer to Earth, and zombies have taken over the entire world. The survival team is gone, leaving Wen Renmei as the sole survivor. At forty, she sits on the roof of a skyscraper, lights all the explosives strapped to her body with the butt of her cigarette, then leaps into a horde of zombies. She dies in a blaze of glory.

When she opens her eyes again, she sees a fair-skinned beauty. Wen Renmei excitedly reaches out and pinches her. So smooth! So soft! Her skin isn't peeling! She's alive!

But viewers all over the country explode in the livestream chat: The Shadow Queen's face is insured for fifty million! How dare you do that to her!

Shen Changyang's fans are furious: That green tea dares to lay hands on her in front of hundreds of millions of viewers! Who knows how she bullies her behind the scenes! Shen Changyang herself doesn't know what to think. Isn't she famous for being a pretty face? How is this girl so strong?

Being a diva, having no acting skills, spreading rumors, sleeping her way to the top, hitting people... Wen Renmei's reputation is ruined.

Having never watched television as a child, Wen Renmei has no idea what she's done wrong. She simply thinks the beauty in front of her saved her. And if this beauty can stay so fair-skinned and gorgeous in the apocalypse, she must be powerful. Wen Renmei has decided to stick close to her!

But it doesn't take long for Wen Renmei to realize something is off. Why is this big shot so fragile she can't even kill a fish?

The viewers: You call that a fish? That's a shark, sweetheart!

Shen Changyang holds her forehead. "Will someone please save her?"

One month later.

Wen Renmei: "Shen Changyang, stop hugging and cuddling me. We're brothers!"
