At the end of the year, the misery-story team and the sweet-romance team were going all out to hit their KPIs. Their rivalry had grown fierce, leaving the understaffed Supporting Female Character Department in agony.
In desperation, the department head came up with a terrible idea: merge the two worlds so employees could work two jobs in the same timeline. After all, supporting female characters did pretty much the same things: either cause trouble or deliver equipment to the main cast.
But nobody expected the plot to fall apart completely, eventually driving both the misery-story heroine and the sweet-romance heroine to flee.
World One: School Romance
She was supposed to be an insecure, timid, plain-looking student who struggled in school. After her crush on the top student was exposed, everyone mocked and ridiculed her. She and the top student would put each other through emotional and physical agony before getting their happy ending.
She was supposed to be a sweet transfer student who became deskmates with the school bully. The two would bicker and fool around, inspiring him to work hard until they both got into their dream university.
But when a certain someone showed up...
The top student studied desperately to hold on to his number-one ranking, paying no attention to anything else. He didn't even know who the heroine was.
The school bully was thoroughly put in his place and stopped fighting and causing trouble. Afraid people might think he was picking on the transfer student, he even drew a dividing line on their desk and refused to so much as lay a finger on her.
The two heroines: ...
World Two: Historical Romance
She loved him so much she lost herself. To help him ascend the throne, she threatened her father with her own death. In the end, her entire family was executed, and she was demoted from wife to concubine.
She transmigrated into the body of a lowly maid in a prince's household. With her modern ideas, she caught the prince's eye and rose to a life of pampering and favor.
But when a certain someone showed up...
The palace underwent a sweeping change. The young prince was named crown prince as soon as he was born, the emperor died, and the Dowager Empress, a saintly woman, took charge of the court.
The two heroines: ... How are we supposed to play this?!
After three, four, five, and six more worlds, the misery-story and sweet-romance team leaders, whose employees had all gone on strike, tracked down the Supporting Female Character Department and demanded angrily, "What exactly are you trying to do?!"
The Supporting Female Character Department head was on the verge of tears. "I really don't know where she came from! This has nothing to do with me!"
Outside the door, the head of the Everyone's Favorite Department strolled past. First place this year is in the bag!
