After Transmigrating Into a Book, I Became the Heroine by Stealing the Spotlight

Ning An'an, who works part-time at a bookstore, falls into a novel and becomes a background passerby described in five words in the third-from-last paragraph of Chapter 407.

The System tells her that nameless background characters usually stay locked away in a little black room. She'll gradually lose her sense of self, then turn transparent and disappear.

Ning An'an: ?

But I only get five words in a two-million-word novel. Doesn't that mean I'm completely dead?

Despairing, Ning An'an refuses to accept this and decides to take the System down with her. The terrified System hurriedly tells her every solution it knows, all at once.

She learns from the System that as long as she keeps creating opportunities to interact with the main cast and makes herself familiar to the readers, boosting her presence like crazy, she can stay alive until she clears the story and is set free.

If she becomes popular enough, she might even get promoted from a background character to a named character with her own storyline. That would earn her extra benefits, and she wouldn't have to worry about disappearing.

As her presence grows, a whole new subplot centered on her might even appear. A promotion and a raise are practically guaranteed.

To stay alive and clear the story, Ning An'an has no choice but to shamelessly hang around the main cast all day, boosting her presence. She's so timid and afraid of dying that she tries too hard and accidentally maxes out her presence.

So later, Ning An'an, who used to be able to spend her days only in the classroom, goes through a series of classic melodramatic plots: returning to a wealthy family, discovering a fake heiress, and becoming the heroine of a campus Mary Sue story. Every day, she wakes up wondering if she's lost her mind.

The plot goes completely off the rails, turning into a romantic betting-pool story with an unknown male lead. The original leads have been relegated to the second tier.

And she, along with three male supporting characters from the main cast she kept clinging to, are officially written into the protagonist section by the author.

Ning An'an: Help!

She worked so hard to avoid the melodramatic love polygon between the male and female leads, but she couldn't escape being written into a ridiculous Mary Sue betting-pool story. She just wants to clear the story and survive, okay!

*Not quite a true betting-pool story.

*Blurb to be revised; the core story will stay the same. If you like it, please add it to your collection~
