‘Anyhow … I think I transmigrated into a romance fantasy novel.’... more>>

The problem is—I opened my eyes in a wake room. Within a coffin. At the funeral of this body’s owner. To make matters worse, I had read so many novels that I couldn’t remember which one I was in.

‘Ta-da~ you thought I was dead, right? I was not!’

On the other hand, I think I’m a villainess. My family is cold-hearted, and the servants shrink and shun me, often crying while looking at the air next to me. But it doesn’t matter! I’ll exploit my master in romance fantasy to get rid of my villainess tag!

But then, I found a strange pattern.

“What exactly is this?”

[How to summon •••]
‘Is it summoning formation to summon something like spirits or dragons? That’s good. A villainess needs at least one ability to protect herself.’

“Meow~”

‘But why was I chosen by a three-eyed leopard-patterned cheese cat, rather than spirits or dragons? Well, it doesn’t matter because it’s cute!’

A monster lives in Count Rohanson’s household. A creature lurking beneath the skin of the late Lady Evangeline.

“I’m Gabriel, commander of Paralos Knights. I’d like to know more about young lady Rohanson.”

‘Knight Commander, pitch black hair, azure eyes … Gabriel must be the male lead!’

“How foolish. You don’t even know your place. I’m not interested in you.”

“It doesn’t matter. I’m just curious about you.”

‘How come? Aren’t I the villainess? Go find your partner, the female lead!’

My aim is to use my summoning circle to protect myself! I’ll also look after Pudding the cat and Jelly the werewolf.

“By the way … why does everyone keep trembling whenever they see me?”

One day, a rich campus idol, Ji Wenfeng, appeared in the school out of nowhere. His excellent appearance and ridiculous monetary power stirred up commotion throughout the student body.

Lu Rong exclaimed, “Is he extraordinary just because he’s a rich-second-generation?!”

Then he went home and discovered that his aunt married Ji Wenfeng’s dad; he’s now living at the Ji family until he’s of age. He’s going to eat Ji Wenfeng’s food, ride Ji Wenfeng’s car, stay in Ji Wenfeng’s house…

Ji Wenfeng: “Are rich-second-generations extraordinary?”

Lu Rong: “Yes, incredibly extraordinary.”

Ji Wenfeng: “You’re just a little brother (note, slang for someone weak/of lower status).”

Lu Rong: “Hello, Gege.”

Ji Wenfeng: “In this house, you have to listen to me. Starting for now, you are my little s*ave.”

Lu Rong nodded obediently, appearing like a coward. “Understood, I’ll go wash your clothes then.”

“Huh? Okay,” replied Tao Mingzhuo, caught off guard by the sudden proposal.

He was cordially thanked by Jing Ci, who then added, "Would it also be alright if I stare at your face as I eat?”

Tao Mingzhuo, "....?"

Tao Mingzhuo ate lavish meals for the entire week, all while facing Jing Ci's 'affectionate stare'. All it took was one week for him to see that something was wrong with their arrangement.

"Mr. Jing, I like someone else." Tao Mingzhuo lied, hoping that faced with an impossibility, Jing Ci would step back.

Jing Ci, “Ahh, nice.”

Jing Ci, "Do you want Sichuan or Japanese cuisine for lunch tomorrow? Oh, if you like, we can also try Cantonese dishes. There is a restaurant nearby that I know serves good dim sum."

The dismal possibility that Jing Ci really liked him made Tao Mingzhuo feel down in the dumps.

Analyzing the data: The main component of dishwashing liquid, dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, can cause harm when there is a residue of 0.5% on the skin. The Os brand dishwashing liquid has the least residue, so buy it!

Audience: ? Ordered!

In a wilderness survival program, while others tried to attract the audience, she checked if the doors and windows could be securely closed and if there were any illegal individuals on-site. She also took out a comprehensive vitamin tablet, gr*pe seed extract, cod liver oil, foot soaking bucket, traditional Chinese medicine foot soaking pack, and a neck massager, placing them devoutly by her bedside.

Audience: ?! Buy quickly, or it will be out of stock again!

When the media asked her how she managed to make the audience like her, Bao Ruan Ruan replied, "Misunderstanding, there's never been any. I just want to live for another five hundred years."

Audience: ??

Fans: "After becoming a fan of Ruan Ruan, my cervical spondylosis got better, and my asthma improved."

Bao Ruan Ruan: Do you know the probability of dying on the way to work? Do you know the probability of having a workplace injury—

Xue Jing: ! Damn, she's sharp!

“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

In the face of the Galiaar Empire’s invasion, two powerful forces stood firm against their malevolent grasp: the Albios Kingdom and the Lutetia Empire. Each nation possessed formidable defenders who repelled the tides of aggression.... more>>

In the Albios Kingdom, there was the unmatched dual-wielding swordsman known as the “Sword Saint of White,” Cloud. Meanwhile, the Lutetia Empire relied on the ancient abyssal magic wielder, the “Great Sage of Black,” Eclipse. These two individuals, often mistaken for demons by the Empire, harbored a secret—they were one and the same person.

And that person’s true identity? None other than Roy Luvell, the second son of a minor noble from the remote borderlands.

Despite his clandestine efforts to safeguard both nations, Roy’s life at the academy was far from exemplary. Chronic tardiness, frequent absences, and lackluster grades earned him the nickname of the “Noble Failure.”

He wanted to quit the academy if possible, and he wanted to pass on the titles of Sword Saint and Grand Sage to successors. But things didn’t always go as he wished.

He couldn’t easily quit the academy, he was trusted by his diligent sister, he was followed by a cool beautiful girl who was the successor to the Sword Saint, and he was liked by a lively girl aiming to become the Great Sage.

And so, amidst this tumultuous existence, Roy Luvell continued to navigate his restless daily routine. <<less

Jiang Li transmigrated into a true and false daughter novel and became the cannon fodder in the book. On the first day of transmigrating, the wealthy parents came to the door and said that Jiang Li was their biological daughter who had been living outside for fifteen years.... more>>

According to the plot: Full of joy and anticipation, the novel Jiang Li went home with her parents, but found that the parents and brother only cared about the adopted daughter.

The elder brother also warned her more than once: My sister is not in good health, so don’t you dare make trouble with her.

Because the novel ‘Jiang Li’ was targeted everywhere by the female lead’s supporters, she was full of resentment and gradually became blackened.

Of course Jiang Li refused to follow the original plot, so she decided to find this body’s maternal grandfather.

After arriving at the Feng family, with the support of maternal grandfather and several older cousin brothers, Jiang Li suddenly became everyone’s favorite.

Only her youngest uncle Feng Qi had a cold face and was lukewarm to her.

But a month later, Feng Qi took her everywhere to show off: “This is my niece, biological!”

Three years later, the Jiang family came to the door and asked Jiang Li to donate a kidney to Jiang Ruo. They persuaded her to be kind, saying that people can still live with one kidney.

Feng Qi rushed home from the scientific research institute and protected Jiang Li behind his back, “The person who can bully Xiao Lizi has not been born yet!”

Seeing that the Jiang family still did not give up, Feng Qi coldly looked at his elder sister who had cut off her relationship with the family after eloping many years ago, “Sister, Xiao Lizi and Jiang Ruo are not related at all, but their kidney can successfully match each other. Does your pig brain have no doubts at all?”

After that, the Jiang family ran away with tails between their legs, and they no longer dared to make trouble with Jiang Li.

Jiang Li looked at Feng Qi curiously, “Uncle, how do you know that Jiang Ruo is Jiang family’s illegitimate daughter?”

Feng Qi said confidently, “I was just talking nonsense. Who knows if I hit it right.”

Jiang Li:……

What Jiang Li didn’t know was that not long after she returned to the Feng family, Feng Qi ordered people to investigate the Jiang family.

He kept silent over the years, only because he didn’t want that brainless sister to come snatching his precious niece.

But later, his niece was snatched for real.

Then Yang Mu was reborn as the “Yang Mu” elder who was killed by Shi Dixuan in his past life. This new body was even more special as it could not have emotional fluctuations otherwise it would emit a special fragrance.
