In 1982, in the mountainous Well Water Village.

A little girl, wearing a floral blouse, with two large twisted braids, and a delicate and tender face, was walking sulkingly along the country road with a basket on her back.

"They made me gather pig fodder again! I am not your slave!"

The little girl had rosy lips and white teeth, which made her seem out of place in the rural countryside of the 1980s.

She had the temperament of a young lady; appearing as if she was brought up in the lap of luxury.

Angrily, she tossed the basket on the ground, and haphazardly threw a handful of pig grass into it.

"Shen Jiayao, this is all your fault!"

"I used to live well in my parents' house in the city! It's all because of you! I have to return to this poor and broken place, and to be treated like a workhorse by the ones at home!"

The more the girl thought about it, the angrier she got. She stood up and kicked the basket fiercely.

But who knew, she lost her footing and fell right off the farm ridge.

"Ah!"

A scream followed by a soft thud.

In the silent wilderness, a pitch-black crow flew by—

Caw—

Caw—

Su Guanqing just felt a splitting headache coupled with incessant chatter ringing in her ears.

The noise was soul-wrenching, so annoying!

"Isn't this Su Guanqing a bit too pampered? She can't even pull some pigweed without hitting her head?"

"Hmph! Who does she think she is, a city-bred lady? She's nothing more than a dove occupying someone else's nest!"

"The genuine city girl is Shen Jiayao. Su Guanqing stole Jiayao's life for more than a decade. Now, even if she fell and died, she would deserve it!"

Su Guanqing frowned.

Shen Jiayao?

Wasn't this the protagonist of the period novel she was reading right before she fell asleep?!

The biggest reason why she was hooked on this book was that the villainous supporting female character in it had the exact same name as her, Su Guanqing.

No way, she couldn't be that unlucky, could she? Transported into this period piece, only to become the villainous Su Guanqing from the book?

She jolted her eyes open only to find herself lying at the base of a field ridge surrounded by a crowd of villagers.

"Su Guanqing has come to!"

"She didn't die?"

"Ugh, why didn't she fall to her death?"

The crowd, their curiosity faded, scattered in disappointment.

Su Guanqing struggled and sat up.

Looking at the farmland surrounded by hilly bumps and the villagers around her, clad in coarse hemp shirts, blue pants, bamboo hats and carrying hoes, she felt numb.

Damn, she had really traveled through time!

She ended up in a historical novel, and even became the vicious female supporting character!

Speaking of the original character’s background, when she first read the novel, she found it incredibly melodramatic.

It was a typical true-false daughter trope.

Shen Jiayao was the true daughter, and naturally, Su Guanqing was the false one.

Twenty years ago, the parents of Shen Jiayao were sent to the Jing Shui Village as educated youth, both were from highly educated families, they here fell in love.

Eventually, they got married, had a child in the same clinic as Su Guanqing's mother.

And then, in a cliché twist, the babies were switched.

Su Guanqing went from a country bumpkin to a phoenix, after the end of the rural period, she was taken to the city.

Her foster father and mother, one a university professor, the other an engineer, naturally have a good household. Since young, she was raised delicately, doted on until she lost all boundaries, she was arrogant, viewing everyone with a superior gaze.

Moreover, she had always been slow, learning anything clumsily; her grades were always rock bottom.

Compared to her parents, who were a university professor and an engineer, she was more akin to a charity case they picked up.

Later on, Su Guanqing fell seriously ill and went to the hospital for a blood test. Only then was the truth discovered.

The foster parents discovered that they had mistakenly raised the wrong child, they were both shocked and overjoyed.

Originally, they didn't even like the stupid and arrogant Su Guanqing. They thought if the first one turned out to be a failure, they could just train a backup.

But then came the policy of family planning, so they had to forgo their second child plan.

When they found out that Su Guanqing wasn't their own child, they couldn't contain their excitement. In the shortest time, they uncovered the truth and found their biological daughter—the female protagonist of this book, Shen Jiayao!

As the main female character, Shen Jiayao naturally possessed all the good qualities of a woman.

She was pretty, polite, sensible, intelligent, and excellent in academics.

After her biological parents took her back, they spoiled her silly to make up for their past negligence.

However, Shen Jiayao didn't get carried away nor was she impatient. Instead, she buckled down to study, took the college entrance examination, and successfully got into Peking University.

After graduating, she decided to stay on for advanced studies, where she met the book's male lead, Li Zhiyuan.

The two of them fell in love and began dating freely. With the blessing of their parents, they held the most lavish and grand wedding of that time. They then had a pair of twins three years into their marriage.

She was thriving both in love and her career—truly a winner in life.

As for Su Guanqing?

She naturally fell into the stereotypical role of the wicked supporting female character.

Firstly, after going home to her biological parents, she was dissatisfied and complained constantly, leading to her biological parents' disapproval and dislike.

Then she saw that the businessman Li Zhiyuan, whom she once looked down on, fell in love with Shen Jiayao. She would constantly stir up troubles in front of them and trip up Shen Jiayao.

She didn't take the college entrance examination and couldn't find a job. Thus, she could only work as a nanny in the city.

However, barely a month into her job, she was wrongly accused of theft by her employer and nearly ended up in jail.

Even though it was later proven that she didn't steal anything, her reputation was completely tarnished.

She returned to her hometown, Jing Shui Village, in disgrace, only to find herself ostracized and treated like a social outcast.

Later, Su Guanqing's parents approached Shen Jiayao for help, intending to marry her off to gain some dowry.

However, whether intentional or unintentional, Shen Jiayao introduced Su Guanqing to an old bachelor.

As a malicious female supporting character, based on the novel's plot, the original character's fate was naturally very miserable, which satisfied the readers.

The author, eager to vent the readers’ frustration, wrote the original character as being beaten to death by the old bachelor, her body thrown into the river, and it was rumored she ran off with some wild man.

The readers may have been satisfied, but the problem was, now she had become the malicious female supporting character!

Su Guanqing was stunned.

What should she do?

Should she accept that she had foreseen her own ending the moment she stepped into this world?

No way!

Absolutely not!

The original character was the original character, and she was herself!

She, Su Guanqing, is definitely not a wicked supporting female character!

She's a top student born into a traditional Chinese medicine family who not only knows acupuncture, but is also a student at the National Defense Science and Technology University! How could she content herself with being a mere cannon fodder?

Since she was transported into this novel, she is determined to defy the heavens and change her fate. She would become the main female lead!

With blood all over her face, Su Guanqing staggered home, following her host's memories.

As soon as she walked through the door, a middle-aged woman, her skin tanned and corners of her eyes wrinkled, came out cursing and swearing.

"Where the hell have you been? I asked you to fetch pigweed, but you went loafing around, didn’t you?!”

"Feeding a waste like you at home! What a waste of food!”

"Oh! You’re all bloody! Did you fall? Why didn't it kill you!”

"You are nothing but trouble when you're alive, better dead and save us some food!”
