I Transmigrated as the Villainous Stepsister, Then Got Together with the Male Lead

Zhou Jinshu transmigrates into a book as a vicious female side character who shares his name and gender. In the story, after his father gets married, he joins forces with the male lead, He Jinchuan, to make life difficult for his new stepmother's daughter.

In the original plot, Zhou Qianying transforms into the "Nine Pearls" and launches a furious counterattack. She even wins the affection of the male lead, He Jinchuan, and the two walk down the aisle together.

After transmigrating into the book, Zhou Jinshu goes berserk and gives up trying, focusing on playing his vicious side-character role while squandering the character's enormous fortune. He figures that the worst the vicious side character gets in the end is apologizing to the heroine, then happily going abroad to study.

Studying abroad is what he wanted most in his previous life. Now he can do it with ease, so what is he waiting for?

Wait, his feelings for the male lead seem to go beyond those of ordinary siblings...

There seems to be just a tiny bit of flirtation between them

This isn't right. This is very much not right. According to the plot, once the male lead realizes he has a crush on him, he'll hate him to the extreme.

The plot has gone off the rails, and Zhou Jinshu feels there's nothing he can do. So he leaves behind a fake address and flees overseas...

Three years later, He Jinchuan raises the chains in his hand with a smile. "Dear little sister, do you like this silver bracelet, this gold bracelet, or this carved openwork bracelet?"

Zhou Jinshu: "??? The male lead was supposed to be chasing the light, so how did he turn dark?"

P.S. They are not related by blood.
