Yu Yao awakens and discovers that she is the green-tea supporting female character in a childhood-sweethearts romance novel. All she does every day is envy and resent everything the heroine has.
Either she comes up with new ways to trip the heroine up, or she sneaks around like a clown, trying to seduce the male lead, whose heart belongs entirely to the heroine.
Yu Yao: ???
What brain-dead idiot wrote this script for her?! The heroine has the luck of heaven and earth on her side. Yu Yao should be clinging to her coattails, not trying to seduce the male lead. Are all the men in the world dead?
Hehe, it's finally her turn to coast to victory.
So, on the first day after awakening, Yu Yao appears out of nowhere in a little white dress, her slender figure descending from above. With a delicate little kick, she takes out the yellow-haired punk trying to force the heroine to date him, right in the crotch.
The heroine, Xie Qinghe: !
After that, a slender figure is always by the heroine's side.
When the classmate who's been second-best forever gets jealous of Xie Qinghe's good grades and starts spreading sexual rumors about her on the campus forum, Yu Yao turns into a keyboard warrior and flames the classmate until they retreat into a shell.
When the upstairs neighbor takes advantage of the fact that the heroine's family has no adults at home and keeps mooching off the Xies, Yu Yao grabs a mop, charges upstairs, and fights back.
Over time, Yu Yao and Xie Qinghe become best friends, spending nearly half of every day together.
They study together and improve together.
When introducing Yu Yao to others, Xie Qinghe says, "This is my best friend, Yaoyao."
The only downside is that Xie Qinghe has a twin brother, Xie Qingbai.
Yu Yao doesn't like Xie Qingbai. His eyes are so dark they're frightening, as if he can see right through all her little schemes. The feeling makes Yu Yao instinctively avoid being alone with him.
Xie Qinghe notices something strange between her friend and her brother, and tries more than once to smooth things over between them.
She tells Xie Qingbai, "Brother, Yaoyao is a kind and pretty girl. Don't keep snapping at her. If you do it again, I won't talk to you."
She tells Yu Yao, "Yaoyao, don't be afraid of my brother. He's just not much of a talker. He's the same with everyone. Sometimes even I don't know how to talk to him."
Xie Qingbai is so annoyed he laughs.
Has he ever snapped at Yu Yao?
She's the one who's avoided him again and again, as if he were some plague-ridden menace. In front of his sister, she's all smiles, sweet and thoughtful. But with him, she keeps running away, wearing such an awful fake smile on her fair little face.
When Yu Yao once again pretends not to know him and turns to run, Xie Qingbai decides he won't put up with it anymore. He strides forward, pins her in a corner, and asks with a cold laugh, "Why are you running?"
"Don't know me again, Yaoyao?"
