The Cannon-Fodder Villainess Doesn't Want a Promotion

Lin Xi has always played the sacrificial female supporting character, diligently and conscientiously fulfilling her role and bringing warmth to the protagonists. For a hundred years in a row, she was named an outstanding performer.

But everything changed when this hardworking, ambitious girl entered a cultivation script that was still being written.

Lin Xi looked over her script: she was an orphan with an ugly face who had a crush on the male lead and would die in chapter one hundred after willingly taking a blade for him. Perfect!

But once she reached that point in the plot, everything went wrong. Why hadn't she died after being stabbed and falling off a cliff? Why was there a mysterious old man in the cave? A glittering immortal sword! A cute pet that looked incredibly powerful! And why had she become even more beautiful than the female lead?

She got it. From here on, she was supposed to follow the villainess route.

So Lin Xi returned to the plot armed with peerless cultivation techniques, a legendary sword at her waist, and a powerful spirit beast beneath her feet, ready to play the villainess properly. But... Huh? Why is the female lead dead? What the heck! Why are you looking at me like that, male lead? And you, male supporting character, wasn't it the female lead who saved you when you were little? How did that become me? And you, Demon Lord, stop clinging to me!

Terrified by all this, Lin Xi hurriedly opened her script!

You've got to be kidding me! Author, why not stick with your pure-hearted female lead? Why change her? Fine, change her if you must, but why make me the female lead?!
