After Dumping the Female Lead, It’s My Turn to Cry

Ruan Yubai recently acquired a trashy novel, and even though it was torn in half, that didn’t stop her from thoroughly enjoying the melodramatic and thrilling plot.

The female lead, Qing Ling, is beautiful but impoverished. After her family goes bankrupt, she is forced into an arranged marriage with the Beta female supporting character. Truly the epitome of a tragic yet strong beauty.

Fortunately, the female lead is determined. After rising again, she becomes an enchanting figure whom everyone adores, even catching the attention of the strongest Alpha in the galaxy. The two of them love and fight, gradually developing feelings, and eventually become a couple.

When Ruan Yuebai read about the Beta female supporting character with the same name dying while spitting blood to protect the female lead, she couldn’t hold back anymore. Slapping the table, she laughed like a goose: “What kind of brain-dead cannon fodder is this!”

Just then, the butler knocked and entered, giving her a subtle look of disdain. “Madam requests your presence downstairs. Your arranged marriage partner, Miss Qing Ling, has arrived.”

Ruan Yubai’s laughter cut off abruptly.

Well then, it turns out this short-lived, brain-dead cannon fodder is me?!

**

Being a cannon fodder female supporting character has no future. To survive until the final chapter, one must become the vicious and cunning antagonist.

To avoid an early death, Ruan Yubai, well-versed in a thousand trashy novels, made up her mind: take the antagonist’s path and leave the protagonist with nowhere to go!

【Marking】

Ruan Yubai wrapped her arms around the female lead’s neck and said smugly, “I’m going to mark you. Scared?”

A soft, sweet fragrance drifted from her. Her delicate white teeth gently grazed the skin, but since Betas can’t mark others, it felt more like a gentle itch than pain.

Qing Ling calmly brushed aside her thick hair, revealing a porcelain-white neck to make it easier for her to bite, but she chuckled lightly and said, “Help, I’m so scared.”

Ruan Yubai paused mid-bite, hesitating: Why does this feel a bit off?

【Secret】

By chance, Ruan Yubai saw the female lead injecting herself with suppressants. Originally planning to just pass by, she had a sudden idea and stepped forward, grabbing the other’s fair, slender fingers. She smiled like a true villain: “So this is your weakness? You’d better be careful.”

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the tall, arrogant Alpha with a fierce expression. Ruan Yubai couldn’t help but feel pleased: Well done, I can survive another ten chapters of the abuse plot.

Qing Ling lowered her gaze, lit a lighter instead, and blew a cloud of minty smoke into the surprised girl’s mouth with her full red lips.

Amid the swirling smoke, Qing Ling’s voice was hoarse: “Well then, now I have your secret too.”

Ruan Yuebai: ???!!!

【Later】

The scene where she was supposed to meet her end finally arrived. Ruan Yubai resignedly closed her eyes, only to be completely stunned when she saw the enchanting female lead holding a bloodied sword, having slain her destined Alpha lover, walking toward her with a heavy gaze: What’s going on? Why is the story developing differently than I imagined!

‘Good grief, I thought I was the shameless, evil Huang Shiren. How did I end up being overpowered by Xier instead?’
