Turns Out I'm Just a Passing Character in a Period Novel

Xu Qingzhi had a long, vivid dream. When she opened her eyes again, she realized she was in a fusion of several period novels, surrounded by their protagonists.

Her cousin was the heroine of a period food novel. Supposedly, she had a powerful kitchen System, and everything she cooked captivated everyone. In the end, she built her own food empire. At its peak, the book said, at least half of Huaguo's one billion citizens had tasted her cousin's cooking.

Her neighbor was the heroine of a famous stepmother novel. After getting married, both the older and younger members of the family adored her, bringing her food and attending to her every need. Later, she raised two children who became famous nationwide, and she herself became a renowned education expert.

The friend she'd grown up playing with was the heroine of a top-student novel. From a very young age, she passed all kinds of exams and made the honor roll. In her teens, she went to work at a factory, where she helped solve a technical problem that had plagued them for a long time. She became famous overnight and eventually a renowned national researcher. When the rocket launched, her friend was standing in front of it, capturing a photo that would become part of her life story.

The village chief's daughter, who looked frail and delicate as a flower, was the heroine of a sweet romance novel. In the end, she owned a courtyard house in the capital...

Even her newborn nephew and niece were protagonists in books...

Xu Qingzhi: Everyone around me is so amazing. Naturally, I'll just lie flat and be a lazy fish.

Once she understood that everyone around her was an incredible talent blessed with extraordinary luck, Xu Qingzhi embarked on her diligent journey of attaching herself to their success.

Including, but not limited to, praising her cousin's cooking every day and investing enthusiastically when her cousin needed money to start a business.

When her neighbor first tried disciplining the kids, she cheered her on. When her neighbor argued with her husband's awful relatives, she cursed them out so thoroughly they'd be left speechless.

When the heroine of the top-student novel studied hard, she stayed by her side from nine to five, repeatedly reminding her, “When you're rich, don't forget me.”

When the village beauty ran into a thug, Xu Qingzhi chased him away with a knife, protecting the heroine, a delicate flower.

And with her nephew and niece, she never forgot to keep reminding them: Auntie has it rough. When you grow up, don't forget Auntie. If one person makes it, let the whole family benefit.

The protagonists: “I have a wonderful younger sister. She's always there for me when things are at their hardest...”

Xu Qingzhi: “Exactly, I have one too... several wonderful older sisters.”

The protagonists: “So which one do you love the most?”

Xu Qingzhi: “Everyone knows there are many kinds of love, and you can divide it among several people. Of course, the one I love most is...”

Xu Qingzhi became a master of keeping everyone happy. Before she knew it, she'd joined the protagonists on their journey from a run-down little village to an international metropolis. She could watch the flag-raising ceremony in the capital at dawn, fly to Shanghai for afternoon tea, and tomorrow...

She and her friends lived carefree, happy lives.

The male lead, forgotten in a corner: “Did you forget something? Don't I deserve a name? We grew up together too!”

Theme: Love can help someone grow into a towering tree.
