The Cannon Fodder Supporting Actress Is Devoted to Science

Rili was the most outstanding scientist on a cybernetic planet. The day before she was to receive the Federation's highest honor, the Nebula Award, she transmigrated into a book.

She landed in a face-slapping novel set thousands of years in the past, as a vicious supporting character with the same name.

The original character joined a study-tour variety show called Let's Study! as a rich second-generation student studying abroad. She made life difficult for the impoverished male and female leads, acting arrogant and haughty, and was universally hated online, eventually dragging her family into bankruptcy.

Rili, who had transmigrated from an interstellar era, looked at the ugly and impractical buildings around her and the antique-looking electronic devices. Her heart ached with frustration:

- Technology is this backward, and you're still filming variety shows? Go do research!

Rili angrily slapped down several research papers in front of the leads:

- Study! Every last one of you!

-

In the first episode of the study-tour variety show Let's Study!, the rich girl Rili's arrogant attitude infuriated countless viewers.

As the second episode was about to air, viewers rubbed their hands together in anticipation:

[If Rili dares bully our angel Nuonuo and genius Yunyun again, I won't let her get away with it!]

When the second episode aired, Rili sat leisurely in the main seat with her legs crossed like a queen, eating lychees.

On either side of her, the original novel's male and female leads bent over their work, struggling through practice problems. Every so often, they even paused to feed her a lychee.

Viewers: [Rili, you awful woman, get lost!!!]

But soon...

The gloomy, handsome boy looked at Rili, his eyes sparkling. "Sister Lili, I've finished this set of problems. Can you explain the principles behind optical chips?"

The icy, aloof girl took Rili's hand of her own accord and sweetly pleaded, "Big Sis, could you go over my problems with me in my room tonight?"

Rili (spitting out a seed) (waving a hand): "Well, let's see how you do."

Viewers: - ???

-

By the fifth episode, the male and female leads' attitudes toward Rili had finally changed. The moment they saw her, they looked ready to cry and run away-

They really couldn't study any more! QAQ!!!

Viewers:

[Nuonuo, don't be unreasonable! The chance to study with Sister Li comes once in a thousand years! Study! Study until you drop!]

[Yunyun, what's wrong with you? You can't handle just a few hundred practice tests? Be good and listen to Sister Li. Go do your problems!]

A year later.

Lin Nuo, an impoverished male college student, had several cutting-edge papers to his name. Major research institutes at home and abroad were competing to recruit him.

Baili Yun, a high school girl from a remote mountain village where sons were favored over daughters, earned a perfect score on the college entrance exam. She became the province's top science-track student and a rising star in international physics and mathematics competitions, leaving the runner-up far behind.

Lin Nuo/Baili Yun: The person we're most grateful to for our achievements is...

Viewers (cutting them off without mercy): All right, all right, we know you're talking about Sister Li! Long live Sister Li!

Over the course of that year, Rili published countless papers and created innumerable technological products, from everyday goods to architecture and advanced technology. She alone won countless awards across every industry.

Technology boomed as a result, gradually advancing toward the interstellar era.

Rili: I didn't win the Nebula Award in my last life, so in this life, I'll create another one.

Note:

1. You can tell from the blurb that this is a brainless wish-fulfillment story! In short, the whole point is to make you feel good! Let me destress!

2. This is entirely fictional and has no connection to reality. The author is making up the technology as she goes.

[This novel is expected to go premium on 7/29 (Saturday). There will be a major update after it does. Thank you for your support, dearies!!!]

Coming soon: The Female Lead Has It So Bad. Blurb:

Yun Yijia has held the top spot on the capital's list of "Most Miserable People of the Year" for years running-

She spends all day and night at her shops, with no pastimes besides work.

She's made countless enemies and has no friends. The people who want to kill her stretch from one end of the capital to the other.

She's getting on in years and still unmarried, doomed to spend the rest of her life alone.

Everyone thinks she has a truly miserable life.

-

Yun Yijia thinks so too:

Spending all day at her shops means she's fabulously wealthy, rich enough to rival a nation.

Having countless enemies means she never lets a grudge linger overnight. Her enemies don't live to see the next day.

Being all alone means the current emperor is her secret boyfriend.

Ah, her life really is so miserable.

-

From the day Liang Yishen was born, his future was set. He could only walk the highest, thorniest path, forging ahead through bloodshed until he claimed the throne.

His life offered no freedom and no choices, so naturally he was cold-blooded and violent.

He thought he would never know what love was.

Until one day, a girl dressed in black climbed over the wall and broke into his room, pressing a knife's edge hard against his throat.

He saw the wild, almost manic smile on her face. His heart pounded.

For the first time, he felt fear, and for the first time, he felt joy and obsession.

He had fallen in love.

From that moment on, the meaning of the tyrant's life was reduced to three words:

Yun Yijia.
