After Becoming the Villain, the Supporting Heroine Gave Up

Jin Yu transmigrated into a book.

The good news was that she had become the villainess snake woman in a cultivation novel.

The original owner was peerlessly beautiful, arrogant and brazen, and powerful enough to crush the Six Realms. She commanded a million snake soldiers and generals.

Though saddled with an intelligence-lowering halo, she repeatedly brought disaster upon herself because of her mad love for the male lead. Yet she had a powerful backer: her true form was an immortal's mount in the Celestial Realm.

She put the male and female leads through hell, but in the end, all that happened was that the immortal took her back to the Celestial Realm and scolded her.

When Jin Yu arrived, the original owner had kidnapped the male lead, Mantang, and was preparing to force him into marriage and consummate it.

Next, a battle between humans and snakes was about to break out. Just as the newlyweds were about to enter the bridal chamber, the original owner ordered her million snake soldiers to attack.

Mantang was swarmed by tens of thousands of snakes. Outnumbered, he was ultimately defeated.

The bad news was that Jin Yu was afraid of snakes.

After much deliberation, Jin Yu decided to get herself written out early. Her backer would protect her, so even if the male lead captured her, the immortal would come rescue her.

She pretended to marry him, humiliated Mantang first, then shared a bed with him that night and deliberately exposed the vulnerable spot on her neck.

Mantang brought out the Soul-Suppressing Pagoda. Jin Yu was overjoyed, thinking she could finally wrap things up with a celebratory flourish. But he started a fire and set a pot over it, lowering his eyes as he murmured, "My wife is frail. I should stew a couple of little demons to nourish her."

Jin Yu: ...

She invited the male lead to admire the moon, first tying up the female lead, then deliberately drinking realgar wine to reveal her true form and make herself an easy target.

Mantang brought out the Demon-Locking Shears. Jin Yu was delighted, thinking she could finally wrap things up with a celebratory flourish. Instead, he cut and sewed fabric, hurriedly making a pure-white cloak on the spot. "It gets cold at night. Put this on, wife. Don't catch a chill."

Jin Yu: I'm a snake, for crying out loud!!!

At last, Jin Yu couldn't stand living with snakes day after day. She put a demon-binding rope around her own neck and looked at him with a resolute expression. "There's something I need to tell you..."

Mantang lifted his long lashes, his smile radiant. He pressed his slender index finger to her lips. "Let me guess. Does your neck feel bare, and you want me to make you some jewelry?"

Jin Yu: Are you crazy or what?!

Mantang, chief disciple of the Tianyan Sect, was meticulous and had captured countless demons. He needed only one more demon core before he could ascend and attain the Dao.

He set his sights on Jin Yu, queen of all snakes. Playing along, he let her abduct him and take him as her groom. On their wedding night, just as he was about to strike, Jin Yu exposed her frost-pale neck, fair as the moon.

That was her vulnerable spot.

Mantang lowered his eyes, a mocking smile tugging at his lips. Hah, just as I thought. It's a trap.
