When the Supporting Lady of a Powerful Family Has a Little Villain

Only after her parents died did Cheng Yinyin realize that she had been born into a wealthy family as a cannon-fodder female supporting character. In the original story, she was starved for love and obsessed with competing against the heroine for the male lead, resorting to every dirty trick in the book. Her ending was tragic, and she even squandered the billions her parents had left her. After awakening to the truth, Cheng Yinyin did everything she could to marry a powerful man and have a child, so she could claim her inheritance and live the good life. Then one day, Cheng Yinyin had a prophetic dream. After her whirlwind marriage, she had become a background character in another bickering-couple romance. She and her husband would both die young, and their son would grow up rich but unloved, yearning for the heroine without ever winning her heart, and losing to the male lead, the son of Cheng Yinyin's cousin. He would become a devoted but villainous second male lead and relive the tragic ending she had suffered. Cheng Yinyin was furious. Was being a cannon-fodder protagonist really a fixed slot, like a turnip planted in a hole?! Fine, let everything go to hell. Being a villain is pretty great, too! Later, Cheng Yinyin realized that the plot was going off the rails. Her family of three really was charging ahead on the path to becoming triumphant villains... *Blurb from the child’s point of view* Twenty years ago, Shang Yan lost his mother.
