All the rich people in City B know how much Ruan ZhiYin likes Qin Jue. She had blindly followed behind Qin Jue for many years and watched as he matured from a youthful boy to a young man. Eventually, she had finally waited until a grand wedding was planned for them.... more>>

The Qin and Ruan families were to be connected by marriage. On the day of the wedding, the groom Qin Jue went missing. Ruan ZhiYin knew that Qin Jue had rushed to City C for his ex-girlfriend who had tried to commit su*cide. The guests had completely filled the seats and she, who had been looking forward to this wedding for years, finally completely gave up on Qin Jue.

She was not willing to let the Ruan family become a laughingstock, so she gritted her teeth and dialed the number of her arch-enemy: “Cheng YueLin, come and marry me right now. We will divorce in one year and I will give you the BeiCheng project.”

On the other side, Cheng YueLin stood in front of a floor covered in cigarette butts and held his phone as he raised a brow: “Miss Ruan’s groom ran away? Okay. Just wait. This Lord will come marry you.”

The next day, young master Qin and his good friend returned to B City. The assistant who had come to pick them up looked a bit hesitant.

Good Friend: “Could it be that Ruan ZhiYin wants to terminate the marriage contract?”

Assistant: “No, that is not it. But…”

Qin Jue: “But what?”

Assistant: “Miss Ruan has switched to a new husband.”

Qin Jue: “?”

“You dare to run away from the wedding. I dare to change the groom.”

“Vicious Female Supporting Character in a Vintage Romance Novel featuring Domineering CEO Awakens + After Awakening, Female Supporting Character is Still Vicious + Everyone Ends up in the Crematorium”... more>>

… …

Amidst the clamor of the crowd, which sounded like a pot boiling over, various familiar voices gave Gou An a splitting headache. She lifted her hand, intending to cover her ears.

However, at the forefront of the crowd, there was always someone who remained silent.

The tall, immaculately dressed man looked down on everyone like a god, with icy eyes that could freeze one to the bone.

He didn’t seem to notice Gou An’s wrists, which were red and raw from being handcuffed, but instead raised his chin in her direction and spoke calmly and indifferently to the police behind him: “What are you waiting for? Take her away.”

… …

One night, after a week of sleepless nights following the loss of her beloved cat, Gou An suddenly realized that she might be the supporting character in a domineering CEO romance novel.

As the darling daughter of Gou Yu, the wealthy hotel industry magnate in Jiangcheng, and with a marriage alliance with the He family, Miss Gou was the most dazzling figure in Jiangcheng’s high society.

However, instead of enjoying her privileged life, she bullied and oppressed the female lead, Lu Wan, who lived in the lower city.

– She impersonated the female lead and became the fake White Moonlight who had saved the second male lead.

– She bullied the female lead, who was working temporarily at a banquet, and poured red wine over her head.

– She stole the female lead’s position as the top scorer in the exam and the opportunity to give the freshman welcome speech just for fun.

– She made the female lead wear a swim ring and stay in the pool for half an hour during winter.

– She snatched the female lead’s part-time job for fun.

– She coveted the female lead’s ambiguous relationship with a potential young male love interest.

– She threw a tantrum.

– She treated people like dirt.

… …

Gou An had done or was planning to do everything on the list.

The powerful young uncle, her cold and distant fiancé, her brother who treated her like an enemy, her loyal bodyguard who pretended to be faithful, they would all become the foundation for the female lead’s success.

… …

Gou An looked up at the clock. It was now 8:30 in the evening.

In fifteen minutes, her fiancé He Ran, who had just found out that she was the fake White Moonlight who saved his life, would knock on her door and hand her a freshly written and still warm agreement to break off their engagement.

At this point, the most powerful support behind her, other than her parents, would have collapsed.

Gou An: “…”

Oh my god, somebody save me.

***

Author’s Notes:

As an awakened supporting character, Gou An accidentally obtained a system that allowed her to see her favorability level with the male leads and other key characters.

– Useless trivia: HE. The original plot line for the male lead and the original female lead (the current supporting actress) did not involve any accidents (note the order).

– Everyone ends up in the crematorium, but the extent of their cremation varies.

– The old school romance genre is the original plot line, meaning that it is full of melodrama and absurdity. Therefore, the logic and settings are also absurd, and unreasonable and exaggerated plot twists should not be taken literally. Comments that are too extreme or intended to start a fight will be deleted.

– The author’s hidden spirit has flown away, please don’t take it too seriously.

– The author’s side project (skiing, riding motorcycles, occasionally updating small extras to prove that they are still alive): Rabbit Ji must have long ears. <<less

This is the story of the eldest daughter of a certain duke’s family, who was engaged to the crown prince of the country.... more>>

The daughter, a strong willed girl who liked to get her way and did whatever she wanted, started hearing a strange voice one day. The voice, audible only for the girl, said this.

“Two years into the future, the crown prince’s wrath will fall upon you, who will become the object of his loathing.”

The girl did not heed the words of this mysterious voice. She ignored the warning thrust upon her. And the prophetic words were forgotten.

As a result, she splendidly earned the hate of the crown prince, who proceeded to declare the break-off of their engagement.

Thus the girl, guided by the voice only she could hear, set off on the road to change herself.

…Maybe. <<less

So I broke up with the Male lead to survive somehow.

"Wait, wait...”

“Don’t worry about the perfume. And I’ll let you go without you becoming a crazy dog.”

“Crazy… Dog?”

Oh, my mistake. The nickname I used to call the Male Lead just popped out.

I thought I was doing well, but…

“Now, you’re coming here?”

I looked in front of my shop with dim eyes.

To be exact, on the stairs leading to the store.

Male lead, why are you sitting pathetically on the stairs of someone else’s store?

Was it not a crazy dog, but a puppy that was rained on? <<less
