Lu Yi transmigrates.
She was an ordinary person, and now she's an even more ordinary supporting character in a reverse-harem investment novel.
The supporting character's everyday role goes like this:
She gets bullied, and the heroine steps in to protect her. The heroine gets a moment to shine: +1.
The heroine and a male lead candidate have a misunderstanding, and she unintentionally tells him how wronged the heroine feels. She gives their romance a boost: +1.
The villainess schemes against the heroine, and a male lead candidate rescues her. Lu Yi gets caught in the crossfire. She suffers in the heroine's place: +1.
Fine. It's not a big deal. Outside the "plot," she's free to do what she wants.
It's just that the male lead candidates, who were originally obsessed with the heroine, start acting out of character.
Outside the everyday plotlines where they're infatuated with the heroine, they keep coming to Lu Yi, who's just a supporting character.
"Yiyi, come here." They long to get close and hold her.
"Yiyi, what does he think he is?!" Jealous, they fight over her.
"Yiyi, you should have only me by your side." They push everyone else away, determined to be the only one beside her.
They're male lead candidates.
But she's just a supporting character.
Naturally, a supporting character wants to stay far away from them.
But then she learns how her story ends: she'll inexplicably waste away and die! Everything gets reshuffled, and the secrets hidden beneath the plot are revealed.
Lu Yi knows she can't go on being a supporting character.
Notes:
1. The heroine is an ordinary girl, not a proactive heartthrob. She's open-minded, resilient, and takes things in stride.
2. The original heroine will be portrayed negatively.
3. Although the heroine is an ordinary supporting character, the story is essentially a Mary Sue. The heroine doesn't know everyone's feelings for her point in one direction, and doesn't want to know. She's not dense, she just doesn't care.
4. The novel's setting is entirely fictional and unrelated to real life. Tastes vary, so feel free to drop it if it's not for you. Thanks!
My next novel is a similar wish-fulfillment story, The Black Moonlight Doesn't Love You [Loop]. Please add it to your reading list!
Blurb:
There's a famous neighborhood in the northern district of Yancheng. Built inside a park, it's nicknamed the "aristocrats' community" by the locals.
The children who live there are either rich heirs or the children of celebrities.
And among them, Jiao Yueying is like the moon surrounded by stars, drawing everyone's attention.
When she was twelve, her parents divorced, and she left with her mother. Countless young boys' dreams were shattered.
Years later, the white moonlight returns.
*
On the night before returning to her family home, Jiao Yueying is told by a mysterious force that, as the heroine, she's failed in her role and the plot will be forcibly put back on track.
In other words, men will pursue her with the goal of winning her over, but their personalities have awakened, and outside the plot, they'll want nothing to do with her.
Jiao Yueying: "!!" What could be better!
An immersive experience in a live-action romance show!
An officially sanctioned license to be a heartless flirt, with no consequences!
Jiao Yueying: "I really am Heaven's favorite daughter!"
*
Her dignified CEO older brother fulfills his duty as a childhood friend.
"In the plot, he steals what he was meant to guard! He tells you men are dangerous and rotten, and helps you drive off all those admirers. But he's the beast lurking by your side."
Her slow-witted childhood friend her own age brings her back into the social circle.
"In the plot, he says one thing and does another. He warns you that things have changed and you're no longer the center of attention. But he always treats you with such care that no one dares look down on you."
An arrogant young man who looks down on her and picks on her while secretly watching her.
"In the plot, he thinks you're a hypocrite and gets close to expose you. Instead, he falls deeply for you amid all the conflict."
A passionate younger top-tier star who sees her as the light he pursues!
"In the plot, you're the pretty older girl he knew as a child, his white moonlight as a teenager. He chases his dreams, and he chases you too."
*
Jiao Yueying looks over the script and is very satisfied.
The mysterious force says, "But outside the plot, they..."
She interrupts it with a "Shh." "What happens outside the plot doesn't matter. As long as they stick to their scripts, I'll make their wishes come true."
After several immersive loops, every male lead's "conquest value" reaches one hundred percent.
At last, they gain their freedom and are no longer controlled by the plot.
She nods in satisfaction. In the final loop, she returns to being the moon hanging high in the night sky, hiding all her good work.
*
She doesn't notice that even after finishing their missions, the men haven't lost their passion for her at all.
One day, Jiao Yueying returns to her family home on an errand.
She discovers that her house is surrounded by mansions, and she's become a princess trapped in a castle.
The men close in on her, step by step.
"See? We belong gathered around the moon."
Theme: Loving yourself is what matters most
The third prince, hahaha, still has two wives, how disgusting.
The malice is really too great, as if it's saying "you don't deserve to be liked or treated well", but she is very good and deserves everyone's love.
It's so amazing that he chased me like this... It's amazing and reasonable.
I want to be laughed to death by my pure love Nanzhu... It's so sweet that it's like Nanzhu is dreaming (
I can't understand the direction.
I can see it now in one breath. It's beautiful and beautiful. Sprinkle flowers~
Enough. This third prince is just a piece of shit.
Third prince, you want them all? Get out of here
Puppy, darling, puppy, bangbang
I feel that Sun Xiaoqiao is still very simple. Being simple is good, but staying simple is a bit troublesome. To put it bluntly, I had visions of some mean white girls, which always made me feel like she was chewing bubble gum in her mouth when she spoke.
