Help! Please Take the Heroine Away [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 1

“Mingyao, wake up. Class is over.”

As Xie Mingyao regained consciousness, a soft female voice reached her ears, followed by a gentle nudge against her body.

She lifted her head in confusion and found herself in a classroom.

It must have been break time. Students in school uniforms chatted and roughhoused, filling the space with lively noise.

Beside her stood three girls who well were unmistakably delinquents.

Though they wore the same British-style school uniform white shirts and navy blue pleated skirts, theirs were noticeably different.

The slightly casual shirts had been altered to cinch tightly at the waist, and the pleated skirts, which should have reached the knees, had been shortened to thigh-length, revealing long, straight, and snow-white legs. Xie Mingyao couldn’t help but wonder if their underwear might be visible when they walked.

Beyond that, the three girls had hair styled in chestnut-colored waves, tied up with streaks of other colors, heavy makeup on their faces, and exaggerated earrings dangling from their ears.

Xie Mingyao fell silent for a few seconds.

What was going on?

System: [Host, you’ve transmigrated.]

Xie Mingyao nearly jumped out of her skin at the sudden voice in her head and bolted upright from her chair. [What’s happening? Who are you?]

The three delinquent girls beside her were startled by her sudden movement, but in the next instant, everything around her froze.

A pale blue glowing orb with wings of the same color appeared before Xie Mingyao, fluttering gracefully.

The system flapped its wings and hovered in front of her. [Host, you can call me Little Blue. I’m a system from the Time-Space Administration Bureau, tasked with guiding hosts like you to complete missions in different worlds.]

After the system’s detailed explanation, Xie Mingyao finally understood the situation.

In her original world, she had been filming a scene when the wire suddenly snapped, sending her plummeting to her death.

Of course, after the system bound to her, she became comatose. Only by completing missions could she wake up in the real world, otherwise, she would remain on her deathbed.

Her mission was simple: play the role of a cannon-fodder supporting female character in this world.

In many worlds, cannon-fodder female characters would awaken and rebel against their predetermined fates. To prevent them from altering the established storyline, they were sent to other worlds to live as ordinary passersby, fulfilling their desired lives.

However, the absence of these crucial cannon-fodder characters would disrupt the romantic development between the male and female leads. To prevent such mishaps, the Time-Space Administration Bureau selected hosts like Xie Mingyao to step in and play the missing roles, ensuring the plot progressed smoothly.

In her original world, Xie Mingyao had been a talented actress with good looks and a privileged background. Since entering the entertainment industry, she had always played leading roles never a supporting character.

Now, she was about to become one of those female characters who were madly in love with the male lead, crashing headfirst into walls for him, even going so far as to torment the female lead only to meet a tragic end.

In this world, the female lead was the impoverished campus belle.

She came from a poor family her mother was seriously ill, her father had passed away early, yet she was academically outstanding and intelligent. The female lead had originally planned to attend a public high school, but Mingde Private High had offered her a substantial sum to enroll. To afford her mother’s medical treatment, she had no choice but to attend this elite school.

Most students at Mingde High came from wealthy and influential families, though they were largely the neglected ones, those not destined to inherit the family business. The heirs, groomed for elite education, were sent abroad early.

As long as these students kept their heads down and stayed out of trouble, they could coast through life comfortably or contribute to the family through arranged marriages.

Students like Ye Qingyu, who got in purely on academic merit, weren’t rare. The only difference was that she was stunningly beautiful. Her arrival caused a sensation, and she effortlessly claimed the title of school belle.

Many boys at school wanted to date her, but she was ice-cold, rejecting them outright. Though some harbored ulterior motives, none dared resort to underhanded tactics not when the male lead, her wealthy, high-status fiancé, also had his eye on her.

This, of course, made many girls at school seethe with jealousy. Behind her back, they sneered that she was shameless, pretending to be aloof while actually casting a wide net.

When the original host discovered her fiancé’s interest in the female lead, she flew into a rage and confronted Ye Qingyu with a warning. But the female lead responded with cold indifference, further enraging the original host, who then began targeting her at every turn. This only made the male lead admire the female lead’s resilience even more.

Consumed by jealousy, the original host escalated her hostility, which in turn deepened the male lead’s disgust for her. Eventually, he forcibly annulled their engagement and had her shipped off abroad.

While the female lead built her tech empire during college, the original host’s family went bankrupt. Lured back under false pretenses to face crushing debt, she found her parents had already fled overseas.

Those eager to curry favor with the female lead knew all about the bad blood between the two. They made sure the fallen original host couldn’t even land a part-time job, leaving her unable to afford basic survival, let alone repay her debts.

In the end, hounded by debt collectors, the original host jumped to her death on the very day the female lead and male lead held their grand wedding at a luxury hotel.

Xie Mingyao mulled over the system-provided backstory and couldn’t help but fall silent.

[System: Host, have you processed everything? Since you just transmigrated, the timeline was paused for you to absorb the plot. But you only have three minutes now just one left. Get ready, and whatever you do, don’t break character!]

Xie Mingyao swiftly pulled out her phone, opened the camera, and propped it on the desk to examine herself.

At least the original host had decent taste no garish makeup, though that was the only positive.

Jet-black hair was braided into multiple small plaits cascading down her back. Her face, the size of a palm, was exquisitely beautiful, bright, captivating, like a delicate rose in full bloom.

Long lashes fluttered like feathers, her dark eyes sparkled like stars, and her lips burned red as fire. Her skin glowed like polished jade under the sunlight, flawless as fine porcelain. Full, petal-soft lips bore a pronounced cupid’s bow, and beneath the outer corners of her eyes rested tiny beauty marks.

Her ears were studded with multiple piercings, adorned with tiny diamond chips except for the earlobes, where delicate leaf-shaped earrings dangled, their tassels brushing her collarbones with every slight movement.

A breathtaking beauty.

Except for the hair and outfit, which made her look like some delinquent street punk.

Xie Mingyao pinched her nose and admired herself for a few seconds before forcing a haughty, arrogant smirk.

What else could she do?

The original host was a spoiled young mistress domineering, conceited, and utterly dismissive of others.

While she didn’t outright bully her classmates, she wasn’t far off. She treated them like servants, snapping orders and throwing her weight around without a second thought.

Yet she had an incredibly powerful background her mother’s family was military, and her father was the wealthiest man in City A. Within her own territory, most people would show deference to her parents out of respect.

Moreover, because the original host’s parents were too busy with work to provide companionship, they compensated excessively with material indulgences, spoiling her without limits. As a result, the original host became utterly arrogant and domineering, bullying the female lead whenever she pleased.

Although Xie Mingyao had a privileged background in her original world, it wasn’t as extravagant as the original host’s. Combined with her upbringing, her personality was the complete opposite of the original host’s.

So if she wanted to act the part, she’d have to practice first.

After a brief minute passed, everything around her returned to normal.

The girl with wavy hair snapped out of her stunned expression and asked in confusion, “Mingyao-jie, what was that just now?”

The other two girls also looked at her with concern and puzzlement.

Xie Mingyao quickly memorized the names of the three.

The girl with wavy hair was Tang Yan, the one with a ponytail was Wang Yuzhen, and the short-haired, cool-looking girl was Zhou Ruohan.

Among these three, only Zhou Ruohan was a genuine friend who truly got along with the original host. The other two were merely hangers-on, pretending to be friends to curry favor with the Xie family.

But Xie Mingyao didn’t care, she just needed to follow the script.

“Let’s go. Where is she?” Xie Mingyao didn’t bother explaining. With a slight lift of her chin, she strode arrogantly toward the back door.

Along the way, students in the hallway quickly cleared a path.

The three followers trailed behind her like an entourage, their presence overwhelming.

“Mingyao-jie, want a smoke?” Zhou Ruohan suddenly remembered something, quickening her pace to walk beside Xie Mingyao as she pulled a pack of cigarettes from her pocket.

The original host didn’t actually smoke much, but to keep up appearances, she had bought candy cigarettes.

When Xie Mingyao recalled this memory, she nearly cracked.

After a moment of silence, she plucked out a candy cigarette and bit down on it with exaggerated coolness, slowly saying to the system: [How’s my act?]

The system gave a thumbs-up: [Very convincing. Just make sure to hide that candy cigarette well, don’t get caught.]

Xie Mingyao thought about the original host’s status at school and smirked: [Who would dare touch my candy cigarette?!]

The four of them marched grandly and menacingly toward the sports field.

Ye Qingyu’s next class was P.E., and most of her classmates had already gathered at the field entrance.

The weather was scorching, so the class was held in the indoor gym. Many students sat in the bleachers, chatting.

Once inside, Xie Mingyao scanned the area but hadn’t yet spotted her target when Wang Yuzhen suddenly pointed toward a corner of the bleachers and shouted, “Mingyao-jie, over there!”

Xie Mingyao looked.

Amid the noisy crowd, Ye Qingyu seemed to exist in her own world.

Her head was slightly bowed, her jet-black hair tied back but cascading over one shoulder, partially obscuring her profile. Still, glimpses of her jade-like skin were visible.

A book rested on her knees, her slender, pale fingers turning the pages.

Though her expression was unclear, her aura was as cool and distant as the moon.

Truly, she was like an unattainable flower on a high peak so striking even from afar. As the female lead, she must be even more breathtaking up close.

Xie Mingyao sighed inwardly before striding forward with her three followers, her presence as imposing as a tidal wave.

Nearly everyone in the school knew Xie Mingyao. Seeing her storming over, all eyes turned toward her.

Many people envied Ye Qingyu, and because of this, when they noticed Xie Mingyao and her group heading towards Ye Qingyu with the obvious intent to pick a fight, they not only didn’t intervene but instead took pleasure in watching the drama unfold.

As Xie Mingyao walked, she remarked, “This school is no good. With so many people around, not a single one has the courage to stand up for justice.”

The system retorted, “That’s the male lead’s job.”

Xie Mingyao scoffed, “Then where is the male lead?”

The system replied matter-of-factly, “It’s not the right time yet. In a few days, when rumors of the female lead being bullied reach the male lead’s ears, he’ll step in to defend her.”

Xie Mingyao sneered, “Hindsight is 20/20.”

The system was so irritated its data trembled, but upon reflection, it realized there was some truth to her words.

Wasn’t the female lead’s suffering ultimately caused by the male lead?

After racking its digital brain for a long time, the system finally found an excuse: “Love always needs some trials and tribulations, otherwise, how can it deepen?”

Xie Mingyao scoffed disdainfully, “By that logic, shouldn’t the victim thank the abuser? But the victim could succeed even without all this turmoil, it might just take a little more time.”

The system was left speechless, fuming, “Just focus on playing your role as the vicious supporting character!”

Xie Mingyao slowly arched an eyebrow, a calculating glint flashing in her eyes.
