Transmigrated as the Villain's Little Sidekick

Qin Yuzhu stayed up all night reading a novel, only to transmigrate into a book the next moment. Her new identity was the younger sister of a wicked supporting heroine, a textbook cannon-fodder sidekick. Help her fight over a man? Qin Yuzhu shook her head. She wasn't interested. She would work hard to make money, save enough for retirement, and then lie flat. But... her domineering older sister was offering her far too much. "I bought this gold hairpin yesterday, but I'm already tired of it. You can have it." "You're ignoring me over some lousy house? I bought it. Now keep me company!" Clothes, jewelry, fine horses, houses... Her sister handed over even the most expensive things without a second thought. All she had to do was help her sister win over the male lead. She could do that! But her sister had set her sights on Chang'an's most handsome man, the dream lover of every woman in the city. Whenever he went out, a crowd of beauties chased after him. It was even crazier than celebrity fandom in the modern world. Qin Yuzhu was pushed to the sidelines again. She sighed miserably. "He's just a little good-looking. Is all this really necessary?" "Exactly!" the handsome man's younger cousin piped up, nodding furiously. His mother went on about his cousin every day, and it had made him downright rebellious. Qin Yuzhu chuckled to herself. No wonder the younger cousin was the villainous second male lead. Just look at all that envy and resentment. "If you don't like my cousin, why not hang out with me? I can take the title of Chang'an's Number One Young Master next year!" He couldn't compete on looks, so he planned to win the favor of noble ladies and market himself to the top? Qin Yuzhu gave a scoff. "Why should I?" The villainous second male lead caught on right away. "Do you like daggers? This ruby dagger is yours." The gem was as big as a pigeon's egg. All she had to do was pretend to be an ardent fan. She could do that! "Sure, sure. But that dagger only covers two months of me fawning over you. After that, you'll have to renew your subscription." Qin Yuzhu smiled sweetly as she gave him a gentle reminder. The villainous second male lead made a bold promise. "No problem. I have plenty of money." She did the job for the money, playing the wicked supporting heroine's good little sister and the villainous second male lead's sweetheart. She made money while enjoying the gossip, keeping herself delightfully busy. By the time she'd spent long enough in Chang'an and amassed a fortune, the novel's heroine finally made her entrance. She couldn't keep playing either the good little sister or the sweetheart. It was too dangerous. To stay safe, she had to get away from the plot. Qin Yuzhu planned to set her sights on a poor scholar. He had plenty of potential, and if she latched onto him, she could keep lying flat for the rest of her life. Her sister: "A poor scholar? Some young scholar? Have you suddenly lost your mind?" The villainous second male lead: "I don't believe you. How much is he offering? I'll pay more! I'll double it." Qin Yuzhu: "??? Is that really how you see me?" They must have completely misunderstood me! P.S. This is a fictional Tang dynasty setting. It is not historically researched, and everything is made up by the author. Pre-release from the author's collection: This Slacker Is Just a Little Too Strong Meng Guiyun transmigrated to the cultivation world. Because her moral compass was incredibly flexible, she became a female demon whom everyone wanted dead. After ascending back to the modern world, she decided to steer clear of bloodshed and turmoil and become a peace-loving slacker. So she accepted the marriage partner her parents arranged, spent her days watching dramas and playing games, and went online to follow gossip and surf the web. She watched people explore secret realms on livestreams and became a top supporter in their streams. "Another unusual secret realm has appeared in the southwest. The fire demons inside are devastatingly powerful, and every squad has suffered heavy casualties." Meng Guiyun: "They're just fire demons. Surely it's not that bad." "Oh, really? If you think it's so easy, why don't you go in yourself?" "Every squad sent in has been injured this time. Even Lu Xiao is badly wounded and unconscious, and you're still making snide remarks in the livestream chat." "This unusual secret realm must be incredibly hard to clear. The elite squads from all over the country have gone, and they still haven't taken it down." Meng Guiyun was puzzled. Was this secret realm really that difficult? Then she had to go take a look. Soon, a girl with her hands clasped behind her back, wearing a mask and moving with nimble steps, flashed across the livestreams of the various groups exploring the secret realm. "She's here again! She's here again! Quickly, get down on your knees and welcome the big shot!" "The big shot's here. This secret realm should be in the bag now, right?" "Who exactly is this big shot? I see her every time I'm watching a secret realm that's way over the difficulty limit." The masked girl was a stranger to everyone else, but the members of the Meng family squad and Lu Xiao's squad found her more and more familiar. After returning from the secret realm, everyone couldn't help wanting to see what Meng Guiyun was up to. And then they saw her clutching her phone and laughing her head off. "Guiyun, these past couple of days..." Meng Guiyun lazily looked up. "Captain Lu, cough up some coins. My account's empty. Did you pick up my package for me?" "...I did." "Good." Meng Guiyun rolled over and found a new position to scroll on her phone. Theme: Face life with a positive attitude
