I Joined the Villain Five Seconds After Transmigrating Into a Book

[Rewrite of an old story, new blurb below!! The first 50,000 words are from the old version. I’ll rewrite them according to the new blurb! Please add it to your reading list.] After committing too many sins, unscrupulous gossip reporter Pan Ming couldn’t rest in peace even after death. She transmigrated into the body of a minor cannon-fodder character in a melodramatic novel set at an elite academy. In the original story, the male and female leads’ romance was full of one melodramatic twist after another. If the villain hadn’t had too many useless lackeys around him, the story wouldn’t have gotten a happy ending. Pan Ming had just transmigrated and was standing in front of the villain. "Your methods for obstructing other people’s love are far too childish, " She knew that in five seconds, the villain would cut off her meal allowance, and she would eventually have to drop out because she couldn’t afford the food bill for her enormous appetite. The villain took a deep breath, only to see the sharp-eyed girl suddenly step closer. Pan Ming: ", so maybe you need a strategist. Boss, take me on! I can’t stand them either!" That’s right. Since the villain lived comfortably right through to the end, Pan Ming immediately decided to switch sides and put her information and her past experience as a gossip reporter to work for him. Villain: "You’ve got guts! Fine, here’s thirty thousand. Break them up and show me what you can do." Using her social skills and talent for gathering information as a reporter, she quickly arranged a fateful reunion between the bereaved parents of the male and female leads, giving them a second chance at first love and successfully turning the young lovers into stepsiblings. Pan Ming sold the photos afterward and got half a year’s worth of food money. But the villain wasn’t satisfied. "Now the heroine can spend every day with the hero. Hurry up and make them fall out!" Pan Ming: "You’re right. Their values don’t really align. The hero looks down on poor people, and the heroine used to be poor herself." With the brilliant set-up skills of a film director, she made the heroine see this clearly, and the two had a huge fight. Pan Ming submitted an account of the real incident to a psychology organization and earned a year’s worth of food money. Whether the villain got what he wanted was anyone’s guess. All she knew was that her wallet was getting fatter and her meals were getting better. Just as she was enjoying the good life, the villain came over looking glum again. "I think I might be incapable of love... The heroine smiled at me today, and I didn’t feel a thing in my chest." Pan Ming: "What’s the big deal? As long as we have the budget, I can arrange enough romance tropes to rekindle your passion." Villain: "Then arrange yourself for me." Theme: Not everyone is interested in romance
