Lin Mo used to believe in working diligently, putting in overtime, and saving enough money to pay for her grandmother's medical treatment.
Then she'd work until retirement at fifty-five, and live out the rest of her life in quiet, humble mediocrity. That would be enough.
Who could have guessed that she'd suddenly die from overwork and transmigrate into a romance novel called Saving the Poor School Hunk? Even worse, she'd become the evil female supporting character's lackey!
How was she an NPC in the real world in her previous life, and now an NPC again after transmigrating into a book???
Was being a background character her fate?
The System told her that only by obeying the female supporting character and joining her in bullying the male lead, Su Baiyi, could Lin Mo survive and return safely to the real world.
At first, Lin Mo planned to obediently follow the plot...
But as the story unfolded, things gradually started to feel wrong. Why did seeing the male lead cry make her heart ache? Why did it make her sad?
As the saying goes, feeling sorry for a man is where your misfortune begins.
Besides, Su Baiyi didn't belong to her. He had a destined female lead of his own.
That person would never be Lin Mo, an NPC who was only there to fill the background.

The first time Su Baiyi met Lin Mo, he was at his most wretched.
He was covered in bruises, his clothes stained with coffee. But when he saw her take the mint candy from his hand, the lingering warmth in his palm stayed with Su Baiyi for a long, long time...
The words "scholarship student" had been branded onto Su Baiyi's spine, making him feel out of place at the elite Imperial Scenery Academy.
But so what? He didn't care. Compared to those contemptuous stares, the money he saved on tuition mattered more.
Later, Su Baiyi realized he'd been wrong. He wasn't an "empty shell" who cared about nothing.
When he sensed Lin Mo deliberately distancing herself from him, he finally couldn't hold back. Gripping her shoulders, he gritted out each word: "Why? Why are you so sure we have no future?!"
Then a sickly red flush appeared at the corners of the young man's eyes. He forced Lin Mo into his arms and murmured, "Have you forgotten? We promised to be together for all eternity..."
