No CP: The Side Character Is Still a Great Partner
Welcome to the Eel Shop, where you can buy fresh eel!
[Blurb]
Liang Aijia, a ruthless tabloid gossip reporter, accidentally transmigrates into an otome game set during the witch-hunting era, becoming Leia, a one-dimensional villainess.
Leia: I'm going to win over the male and female leads and reach the top of the world!
The male leads: Thanks for the offer, but no.
The original female lead: Stay away from me, you're scaring me.
System: Playing dead.
Leia: ...I might as well die.
-
Things don't go as she wishes. After failing to clear the game countless times, she's forced to keep playing Leia.
This time, though, she decides to close off her heart, stay away from the male and female leads, and try living a completely different life.
Using her professional skills as a reporter, Leia takes advantage of the townspeople's love of gossip, buys a printing press, and even starts a newspaper.
Leia: What could possibly stop me from making money off gossip?
The suddenly revived System: Plenty. Townspeople who hate you, neighbors who lie through their teeth, and most importantly, witch trials.
This is the age of witch hunts.
Here, you can never predict who will be next on the gallows. So saving every woman who might become a witch at any moment is a way of saving yourself.
Leia finally understands. Now that she's found the key to freedom, she must pass it on to everyone shackled by oppression.
There is no magic or witchcraft here, only the human heart.

Reader's guide:
1. The prose has a slight translation feel. Some details are researched, while others are invented.
2. Slow-paced, not a power fantasy. Some parts are full of pain, resentment, and regret. The story doesn't glorify suffering, but it does weave reality into the narrative. If it's not for you, please stop reading.
3. In the real world, the protagonist is a ruthless tabloid gossip reporter. She isn't a paragon of virtue or a perfect person, nor is she a fighter. She'll grow over time, but she'll still have plenty of flaws. If that bothers you, proceed with caution. (You don't have to tell me if you dislike her, because I love her.)
4. The reasoning behind the protagonist's actions early on will become clearer as the story progresses. Some foreshadowing won't pay off until much later, so please don't assume I've left out a plot point just because you haven't seen it yet.
5. No CP, with an ensemble cast and storylines for the supporting characters too.
Theme: Women supporting women
Looks good, looks good, I guessed the identity of Ms. C very early. Hehe, after all, there are not many ladies with names, surnames and money. I really like the plot of girls uniting. All struggles are difficult, and all changes require a process. Maybe we are still limited in what we can achieve in our lifetime, but as long as we are doing it, it is good.
So cold
It's a pity that I didn't read this book in the 15th or 16th year of my life
I feel more nausea that I don't need to feel.
If you become a family member with a little girl in the future, you will definitely use this article as a bedtime reading and slowly tell them stories about the little girl's adventures.
Also, I guessed Ms. C's identity correctly hehe.
Finished spreading flowers! Ms. C's identity really made me guess a little hh
Even though he is capable enough, he still has to do things in the name of a man.
A traitor who demeans himself even though he is capable and gives all the credit to men.
Is it understandable to steal a romance novel like this? Wouldn't it really hurt to steal such a good novel? It feels like it's completely made for love and the quality is so good that people will buy the physical book. (There is only one wife in Jinjiang who bought the physical book after reading it)
Wow, the writing is really great.
Maybe in that case, we should find a way to kill those who don't like it. Kindness has no effect on evil.
The heroine procrastinates, she should run away after writing the article
When did Danny—ah, this is so disgusting
