The Book-Traveler Side Character Helps the Laid-Back Proud Hero Soar

[Blurb]

Yan Dai transmigrates into a book by accident, becoming the villainous female supporting character who shares her name in a power-fantasy story about a weakling rising to greatness. Though she is the sect leader's daughter, she is actually an impostor who took the place of the missing heroine.

According to the plot, once the heroine returns, Yan Dai will become thoroughly evil, frame her, bully her fellow disciples, steal her opportunities... and finally even force the male lead to marry her. On the day of the wedding, the male and female leads will bring her to justice, and everyone will despise her.

Her fate may be grim, but the System tells Yan Dai that if she follows the plot to the end, she can come back to life in her original world and receive a hundred million in prize money!

Yan Dai is thrilled to get to work, but soon discovers that something is off about this power-fantasy male lead: he doesn't cultivate, fight, or push himself to the limit. Every day, he skips class and slacks off. Most importantly, he refuses to follow the plot! Even a dog would know to sneak a glance when the heroine walks by, but he just sits there like a stone with no eyes!

With her hundred million in danger of going down the drain, Yan Dai grits her teeth and rolls up her sleeves. If he won't follow the plot, she will!

For the romance plot, she's like supernatural-strength glue, reincarnated double-sided tape, doing everything she can to stick the male and female leads together. If she can't get them both onstage for a scene, she'll throw herself into it, playing the heroine and then the hero. She's hailed as the cultivation world's greatest actress.

As for the career plot... the career path of a power-fantasy male lead isn't something just anyone can follow.

To clear secret realms and fight powerful enemies, she clutches the ten-star erhu she drew from the System's shop. After practicing through her tears every day, she can finally drive off powerful enemies with a single song, carrying the whole team and boosting the male lead to victory!

Later, Yan Dai begs the male lead:

Please stop slacking! If you keep this up, I'll end up becoming the top of the Immortal Alliance in your place, getting engaged to the heroine, and becoming the most powerful kept husband!

The rest of the sect beg the male lead:

Let Senior Sister Yan Dai take a break! You may get to live off her, but we've been worked so hard by her that we haven't dared close our eyes in three years! Other people play the erhu for money, but when she plays, she takes your life!

Even the demons of the Demon Realm gaze at the male lead with tears in their eyes:

Our new Demon Lord is boundlessly powerful, with demonic energy at its strongest and purest. In just three years, he has defeated every foe in the Demon Realm. He will surely lead the demon army to flatten the cultivation world! From now on, all under heaven will cultivate the demonic path, not the immortal one!

When forcing the male lead into marriage, Yan Dai follows the script and lets out an evil laugh. "Sister Shuang's life is in my hands. If you want to save her, you'll have to marry me!"

Yun Wulan, the male lead: "There's really such a good deal? I'd be delighted."

Yan Dai: "???"

The other disciples who hear that Yun Wulan is getting engaged to Yan Dai all look envious:

"Aaaah! I want to live off Senior Sister Yan Dai too!"

"Damn it, that pretty boy Yun Wulan really lucked out!"

Yan Dai: Get a grip, all of you! The male lead is being forced into marriage. I'm just a villainous female supporting character, okay?!

[Reading Guide]

1. Yan Dai, a long-suffering overachiever, double-sided tape for the romance plot, and jack-of-all-trades for the career plot, is a villainous female supporting character. She is paired with Yun Wulan, the original male lead, who is reborn, fallen into darkness, a slacker, a spectator, and secretly stirring up trouble.

2. A silly, fun, sweet story. One-to-one romance, happy ending.

3. All jokes in the story are just for fun and aren't meant to attack anyone.

4. In his previous life, the male lead was a cultivation prodigy who broke off an engagement, rose to greatness, and was obsessed with cultivation and ascending to immortality. He had no feelings for either the original heroine or the villainess.

Moral: Break free from the shackles of fate.
