The Side Character's Guide To Survival
What’s the first rule of surviving as a side character in a reverse harem novel?
Rule #1: Do not covet the male leads
Rule #2: Do not overshadow the female lead
Rule #3: Do not befriend the villains
~~
Having lived fifteen peaceful years, Xia Yingshu discovers the horrifying truth. She is nothing more than a miserable side character in a novel. Who can accept this?!
To make matters worse, she is the female lead’s "plastic sister", pretending to be supportive while secretly coveting one of the male leads. The result? Xia Yingshu is abandoned by the female lead in a secret realm, dying at the claws of ferocious beast!
To avoid death, she decides to use her knowledge of plot and absolutely follow the rule of survival!
While the female lead is face slapping and seeking revenge, Xia Yingshu raised cute pets, played with trinkets, and indulges herself with all kind of funs.
While the female lead risked her life for legendary treasures, Xia Yingshu grew her own precious herbs and flowers, travelled around the cultivation world, and witnesses rare sights.
While the female lead entangles herself with various bigshots, Xia Yingshu.....well she befriended a beautiful boy who is polite, innocent, helpful, and even cooks her delicious food!
But was he really as simple as that?
~~
In the dark of night, the boy stared disdainfully at the man who had dared to covet his treasure, now kneeling before him.
He leaned over the unconscious beauty, caressing her eyebrows with careful, almost tender movements. His eyes, however, were wild, paranoid, and terrifying. A cold, almost crazy smile curved his lips.
“Shushu is mine,” he whispered. “No one is allowed to covet her.”
Xia Yingshu, pretending to be unconscious, swallowed. Good heavens! What kind of crime had she committed? Why had the innocent boy she picked up turned into a terrifying villain?!
