“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 Gu 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, Gu An suddenly realized that she might be the supporting character in a domineering CEO romance novel.

As the darling daughter of Gu Yu, the wealthy hotel industry magnate in Jiangcheng, and with a marriage alliance with the He family, Miss Gu 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.

… …

Gu 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.

… …

Gu 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.

Gu An: “…”

Oh my god, somebody save me.

***

Author’s Notes:

As an awakened supporting character, Gu 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

Out of boredom, Xu Xiao Jiao read an era book. Just one sleep and she transmigrated into the cannon fodder in it.... more>>

The original owner Zhao Xiao Jiao was a cadre’s child sent to the countryside. However, it was discovered she was fake daughter that was wrongly brought home at birth. Afterwards, she was miserably schemed by the real daughter, Xu Yan Yan. Surrounded by onlookers, she was seen with parentless Song Wei Ping laying in one quilt with chicken feathers all over the floor and a hastily gifted boxed lunch.

Before going to bed, she was still thinking, “How s*upid. How attractive is an omnipotent man like Song Wei Ping? He was a future business tycoon! Rich, unwedded, and handsome. How wonderful it’ll be to be his roommate. Wasn’t this winning lying down?”

Opening her eyes again, she and Song Wei Ping were lying on the same bed. Their eyes collided with each other.

Immediately, there was a knock on the door. Xu Yan Yan excitedly called out, “Elder Sister Xiao Jiao, are you inside?” <<less

In the previous life, Chu Qiao had been obeying her father at home and her husband after she was married. She worked hard and never complained. She was lying on the operating table when she had difficult labor. Her mother-in-law, her husband, and her stepchildren all gave up on her, one body with two lives.... more>>

Back at the age of 21, she had not married the selfish and vicious ex husband. But her stepmother tried every means to force her to marry for benefits. Chu Qiao wanted to be independent, so she had to register her hukou in the city. But her stepmother kept forcing her to marry. When she was desperate, Gu Ye, the hot-tempered uncle of her ex-husband, jumped out to propose marriage.

“Marry me, and let that dead calf call you aunt!”

Chu Qiao’s heart was moved. When she thought that her ex-husband was a generation younger than her, and would never be able to raise his head in front of her. She was inexplicably happy, she thought it was okay to get married.

Gu Ye had been a bully since he was a child. Others said that he was not close with women. It was estimated that he would be a bachelor his whole life. But no one knows that Gu Ye had three good requirements— slender waist, delicate feet, and baby voice.

Every cell of Chu Qiao grew into his heart. She was a tailor-made wife for him by God. Whatever you say, you have to turn home. Other men can go as far as possible! <<less

“So I’m thinking of proposing a contract marriage to that friend.”

The eyes beneath the bushy eyebrows gleamed sharply.

His fingertips, which descended to my earlobe, lightly brushed my tiny earring.

Shivers ran down my spine.

The earring had a purple gem that matched his eye color.

“From the moment I took a breath and opened my eyes, I wondered where I was. But then, I was clear on what world I was in after hearing a familiar name.... more>>

I was reborn as the villainess, Frisia Atreille, from a novel I read before I died, called “I’ll Leave it to You.”

To escape from my fate in the novel's plot, I initiated my contract marriage with him three years ago.

A month before our contract marriage breaks off, Aslei was cursed.

“I can endure it. If it becomes unmanageable, I’ll call the magician……!”

“It’s alright.”

After sleeping with him, I felt dejected and melancholy and avoided him. But eventually, Aslei boldly approached me and made a startling admission:

“Frisia. It is my fault and due to my insensibility that I did not confess before we slept together last night.”

Do you really like me? Isn’t that impossible?

After his confession, my heart pounds for no reason, but I can’t believe him because I know the storyline.

‘If Aslei gets better and I remain as the Duchess…….’

Can I do that?

I feared some horrifying conspiracy would unfold, and I would be discarded. <<less

“You shouldn’t have crossed this line, Elisha, if you didn’t want it to be like this.”... more>>

A sturdy arm wrapped around her swaying body. Her head became hazy and an intentional hot sweet sigh was pulled out of her.

‘How the hell did I get myself in this situation—’

Elisha recalled. This never happened before.

‘Yeah, I remember.’

Her future in which she would become the fake concubine to a demonic man from the same family, and would be eaten to death—even down to her bone marrow. A future in which the Cartier ducal family is embroiled in a power struggle and fragmented.

To avoid that future, Elisha threw herself at Lucerne, the archrival of her former life.

Yeah. There was no problem. She knew this man, before and after her regression. She already knew he was the most notorious maniac in the Empire.

20-year-old Elisha owes 30,000 gold coins (about 15 billion won in Korean currency or around 15 million in USD).

After going back in time, in order to avoid a hellish life because of debt, she becomes the most capable illegitimate child in the world and visits Lucerne, the archenemy of her master.

“What do you want from me?”

“Please lend me some money. And… make me your subordinate. I’ll give you all the information I have.”

“Why should I trust you?”

“I’ll give myself up as collateral.”

Lucerne listened to Elisha and watched her quietly.

“Okay. But I decide how to deal with the collateral.”

“…….”

“First of all, marry me.”

“…… huh?”

Elisha didn’t expect it either. That her information transaction would become a marriage contract. <<less

Wen Fan liked his childhood friend, Shao Yisui, who he grew up with, a long time ago. But Shao Yi has a ten-meter-thick wall against straight men, has a bad temper and is homophobic, and avoids the gay community.... more>>

Although Wen Fan was gay, he had no interest in playing the straight-bending game. He thought it would be fine to just remain friends forever. However, on Shao Yisui's twenty-eighth birthday, a contract suddenly appeared in front of him.

A marriage contract.

Shao Yisui had a headache: "Fan Fan, my parents are pushing too hard."

Wen Fan, who also suffered from his parents' pressure to get married, agreed.

He went from being the good friend of the big boss of the Shao Group to Mrs.Shao. Everyone envied their loving relationship, but Wen Fan was very clear-headed. He always remembered that Shao Yisui liked women, and he would never pester him. He repeatedly stated that he didn't mind Shao Yisui bringing people home, and he would leave immediately when the contract expired.

Unexpectedly, one day, Shao Yisui drank some unclean wine at a social event and ended up stumbling into Wen Fan's room. After a night together, Wen Fan couldn't even get up.

This was an accident beyond the contract, and Shao Yisui knew he had made a mistake and wanted to compensate him. But Wen Fan waved it off: "We're both adults, forget it."

After that day, Wen Fan continued to live his life as he pleased, but Shao Yisui, who couldn't resist the taste of forbidden fruit, couldn't stay calm anymore.

Every day, he found Wen Fan more beautiful and tempting than the day before. Wen Fan sat on the balcony reading, and he stared at him foolishly all afternoon. Wen Fan came out of the shower wrapped in a towel, and he had a nosebleed all night. In his dreams, all he saw was the handsome figure from that night.

Wen Fan never harbored any illusions about Shao Yisui, so he forced himself to forget about that incident. He thought Shao Yisui, a straight man of steel, must have been disgusted by the whole thing, or he wouldn't have avoided him for so long. Wen Fan thought their contract would probably be terminated early.

However, at a high-end banquet, someone tried to make a move on Wen Fan, and just as they were about to kiss him, Shao Yisui arrived and knocked them down with a punch.

The man's eyes were filled with uncontrollable jealousy and rage. He gritted his teeth: "How dare you touch my wife?"

Later, their contract ended smoothly, but Shao Yisui seemed to have forgotten about the whole thing. Wen Fan had to gently remind him.

That night, in the dimly lit room, the man pressed him against the wall and pleaded, "Fan Fan, let's not get divorced, okay?" <<less

“Yes. Gladly.”

Once removed from his mask, the gigolo has a familiar face.

Why is the Grand Duke here?

“So, have you thought about it carefully?”

“Yes. As expected, I think it’s right for us to divorce.”

“Even so, it’s only last for a moment. Just wait a moment. I will come and get you back.”

“There’s no need for that.”

“Huh?”

At that moment, the door opened.

“Lady Luize, I came to pick you up.”
