The Substitute Female Side Character's Face-Slapping Comeback

Coming soon: The Substitute Villainess Takes the Spoiled Brat Route, next book

Lin Miao transmigrates into a novel about a substitute for the beloved first love, becoming a cannon-fodder substitute for her own twin sister.

The original owner was separated from her parents as a child and raised by a mute adoptive mother. After she is reunited with her family, she still can't fit in. Her biological parents find her hard to raise after all these years and begin to resent her.

Her younger sister is the novel's beloved first-love heroine, keeping the male lead and a whole host of male supporting characters on the hook while enjoying everyone's affection.

Unable to have the younger sister, the male lead and supporting characters look for substitutes. The original owner is unfortunate enough to be one of them.

The original owner gradually grows jealous and keeps tripping up the beloved first love, but every attempt fails. In the end, the male and female leads get their happy ending, while she is thrown out of the house and freezes to death in the snow.

Newly transmigrated Lin Miao: What kind of ridiculous plot is this?

Lin Miao takes one look at a job listing: the beloved first love, who has entered the entertainment industry, is looking for a stand-in for her action scenes. So Lin Miao promptly applies.

Better to get ahead of the male lead and become his substitute before he comes looking for her!

If she's going to be someone's substitute, she might as well cut the male lead out and become the beloved first love's stand-in herself!

After serving as her sister's stunt double for a long time, Lin Miao is approached by a live-streamed reality show. They want her to be her sister's contrast, helping boost her sister's popularity.

Lin Miao nods and agrees. As long as the pay is good, she doesn't mind.

What she doesn't expect is that she quietly becomes famous.

Her sister cultivates a clever, beautiful fairy persona and enjoys only the finest food, clothes, and comforts. The audience can't help but marvel at what a wealthy beauty she is. In contrast, Lin Miao returns to the dilapidated, gloomy home of her mute adoptive mother. She eats plain food and even has to gather firewood to cook. The audience shakes their heads and tells her to stop trying to ride on her sister's coattails.

Her sister's popularity skyrockets for a while.

But gradually, the audience realizes something is off.

*

Her sister shows off her figure in the swimming pool of a mansion. Lin Miao dives into the water and rescues a little girl who is drowning, all in under three minutes.

The audience is stunned: [I can't even sprint 800 meters that fast on land!]

Her sister shows off furniture made from golden-thread nanmu, which her father bought at a high price from the market. Meanwhile, back in her hometown, Lin Miao uses salvaged lumber to repair and renovate the house, then carves one lifelike wooden figure after another from extremely cheap wood. In the end, a master collector buys them for his collection.

The audience is stunned again: [Those carvings are gorgeous! I know nothing about art, but even I can't look away. Please mass-produce them!]

Her sister showcases the niche sports she can do: skiing, skydiving, and rock climbing, finally earning a little praise and affection from the audience.

Growing up poor, Lin Miao naturally hasn't had access to such expensive equipment. But, to the audience's renewed amazement, she can hit a target a hundred meters away with a pebble, leap between two skyscrapers without any gear, and climb a sheer cliff with her bare hands.

Viewer 1: [Aaaah!! Lin Miao is so cool! I don't care, I'm gay for her!]

Viewer 2: [Suddenly, her sister's fairy persona feels so fake. It's all just bought with money.]

Viewer 3: [I hereby declare Lin Miao my wife. Nobody try to steal her from me!]

Her sister... Damn it! Weren't I supposed to be the contrast?

Could it be that I'm the one serving as Lin Miao's contrast?

Synopsis:

Zhao Fuzhi transmigrates into a book one day, binds herself to a Spoiled Brat System, and becomes a substitute for the beloved first love of the male lead and a whole host of male supporting characters.

Before her, there were 9,999 substitutes, but they were all automatically deleted by the System because their spoiled-brat points were too low and they actually fell in love with the male lead and supporting characters.

Trembling with fear, Zhao Fuzhi gives the System an innocent shrug. "But I've always been considerate and never been a spoiled brat."

The System seems to have expected this and tells Zhao Fuzhi to just follow its instructions.

*

System instruction: [At three in the morning, make the male lead run all over half the city to buy you a midnight snack, then complain that it's cold and refuse to eat it.]

Zhao Fuzhi shakes her head. That's too inconsiderate. You shouldn't waste someone's kindness.

The System is about to lose its temper.

Zhao Fuzhi stuffs the midnight snack into the male lead's arms and smiles. "Shuyu-ge, could you take off your coat and warm it back up for me with your body heat?"

The male lead freezes into an icicle in the middle of winter and runs a high fever the next day.

System instruction: [Make Male Supporting Character No. 1 cancel a meeting for a hundred-billion-yuan contract and go shopping with you.]

Zhao Fuzhi shakes her head. That won't do. A man's work has to come first.

The System tries to persuade her.

The next second, Zhao Fuzhi calls the male supporting character. "Xiulang-ge, don't make them stay in that meeting so long. Let them wrap up quickly and get some rest."

Male Supporting Character No. 1 gets harshly scolded by his father and nearly loses his status as heir.

System instruction: [Make the sickly male supporting character peel an apple for you, then say he smells of disinfectant and refuse to eat it.]

Zhao Fuzhi shakes her head again. That really won't do. The sick need to rest in bed.

The System grows anxious.

Zhao Fuzhi smiles sweetly at the pale-faced sickly male supporting character, takes a bag of river snails rice noodles and some durian out of her purse, and hands them to him. "Ziyi-ge, you need to eat more. Look how thin you are, your face is all sunken."

The sickly male supporting character turns even paler. Apparently, after eating both things, he doesn't leave the bathroom for a whole day after Zhao Fuzhi goes.

*

System instruction: [Damn it! What's the point of giving her instructions? Zhao Fuzhi's spoiled-brat points are about to explode!]

Zhao Fuzhi looks utterly innocent. "I really am only trying to help the male lead and the other guys~"

[Every man is a devoted, twenty-four-hour standby boyfriend, all surrendering to the heroine's gentle but mighty blade. After all, who could resist a spoiled brat causing trouble?~]
