The Vicious Supporting Actress, But I’ve Merged Five Books

[High Attack, Low Defense, Tsundere Snarky Heroine X Dark, Pure-Hearted, Insecure, Jealous Hero]

Ren Shuyao had been born into a cultivation family and spent more than a decade living the peaceful life of its eldest legitimate daughter.

Then she was bound to a System and learned that this was a world formed by the fusion of five books.

The bad news: she had been handed the villain’s script and was specifically meant to oppose the protagonists.

The good news: she had landed in all five books at once, destined to be the enemy of the entire world.

The System said she had to complete every task in the current book before she could unlock the plot of the next one.

Her life was at stake, so Ren Shuyao readily agreed.

What was so hard about being a wicked supporting character? She’d do it.

We villains do whatever we want.

And so...

When faced with her weapon-refining senior brother, who had awakened memories of his past life and was the reincarnation of a powerful expert, she acted in her own interests, sweet-talking and tricking him into handing over his past-life inheritance to the sect.

When faced with her junior sister, who had the ability to hear thoughts and could live a happy, pampered life simply by using plot knowledge in her head, she gave her a Heartguard Pearl and put an end to her easy ride.

When faced with the righteous and noble fake heiress, who carried a heavy burden, she threw her weight around, stole her fortune, kicked her out of the house, and made off with the fruits of her labor over more than a decade.

Years later, the System stared at the task list, which was supposed to cultivate the ultimate world-destroying villain, and fell into deep thought.

Why hadn’t the cultivation world been destroyed? Why had it become even more prosperous?

Ren Shuyao cackled wickedly.

Hey, did I do the tasks or not?

There were too many heavenly prodigies around her for Ren Shuyao to keep an eye on them all. But there was one person she always wanted to tease.

That skinny boy had stood there with red-rimmed eyes, stumbling over his words when her fiancé came to discuss their engagement:

"If he treats you badly, I, I..."

Ren Shuyao asked, though she already knew the answer, "What will you do?"

The boy flushed scarlet and couldn’t manage another word.

Picking on people is fun, isn’t it?

But she had no idea that, out of her sight, the boy’s eyes had darkened as he revealed his true thoughts to his romantic rival:

"The road to immortality is full of hardships. It’s perfectly normal for a few prodigies to meet an untimely end, right?"

Upcoming novel, "Five Years After Being Rejected, the Brooding Hero Goes Off the Rails"

[Oblivious Wooden-Headed Heroine Who Rejects Someone for Five Years Without Realizing It X Brooding, Tentacled Hero Who Finally Snaps]

Ye Qingshi transmigrated into a power fantasy aimed at male readers.

The obsessive hero was bound to a Merit Points System. He was decisive and merciless, answering violence with violence, and got blood all over his hands before ultimately ascending through this unorthodox path.

Now the story was just beginning. The hero had accidentally joined a tiny sect that didn’t exist in the original novel, and from the very first day, he had a problem with her, his junior sect sister.

Ye Qingshi: What do I do if I suddenly feel like life is hopeless?

To get this great calamity out of there as soon as possible, Ye Qingshi volunteered to become a Merit Points perpetual-motion machine, helping the hero reach the peak of cultivation.

After diligently farming Merit Points for five years, she was starting to wonder why the hero still hadn’t leveled up and moved on to a new map.

Suddenly, her hands were bound and her eyes covered. The only thing she could sense was the boy behind her leaning close and whispering into her ear in a sticky, soft voice:

"Junior Sister, could you look at me a little more?"

Only then did Ye Qingshi realize that the tentacles that kept appearing in her dreams belonged to...

The hero, and her junior sect brother, Pei Yuan.

The aggrieved tentacle monster pulled his junior sect sister into his arms and listed, one by one, all the wrongs she had done him over the years.

Pei Yuan: "I gave you cultivation materials, and you turned around and made talismans out of them to give back to me."

Ye Qingshi: "I was lowering the cost of earning Merit Points for you. And I even deducted a crafting fee."

Pei Yuan: "I healed your injuries, but you secretly swallowed pills someone else gave you."

Ye Qingshi: "I was helping you stack your Merit Point evaluations. Besides, other people’s pills are cheaper, so you can keep your good ones for yourself."

Pei Yuan: "When you were in danger, I rescued you. Why did you bring another man along?"

Ye Qingshi: "You don’t understand, Junior Brother. He’s the child of fortune. Bringing him along multiplies the Merit Points we earn several times over!"

His junior sect sister had jumped to conclusions and misunderstood him completely. The tentacle monster finally lost patience and decided to play the villain, slapping a long list down in front of her.

Ye Qingshi was shocked.

"Are you going to settle accounts with me and force me into a plotline now? I won’t give in!"

Pei Yuan’s voice was grim.

"Your meridians are damaged and your soul is unstable. What chance do you have of fighting me? From now on, you’re going to eat every rare treasure on this list. You’re not getting away from me otherwise!"

1. Mutual salvation. No one gets hurt in this story.

2. The hero is insecure, brooding, and prone to overthinking. He secretly stalks her. His true form is an egg-laying tentacle monster, and his thought process is a bit off. He is not a yandere.

3. The heroine has a lot of inner monologue and is the snarky type. She is very possessive, and is also very possessive of others.

Theme: See what is within reach, and do what is within your power.
