I Have the Aura of a Supporting Character in Yuri Novels - Chapter 116

The story continues with Tang Ning’an’s dream.

Tang Ning’an’s dream, though not long in its narrative, spanned an entire lifetime for her. For years, she had countless dreams where she saw a woman whose face and voice were indiscernible, but whose presence she could feel dwelling in her secret world. Tang Ning’an believed she had triggered some mechanism that allowed for these perpetual dream encounters, and that the mysterious woman would not leave as long as the mechanism remained active.

This particular dream began without warning, catching Tang Ning’an off guard and plunging her into an old tale.

The story was set in motion by a call of “Yunyao.” Turning around, Tang Ning’an saw a familiar, sweet-smiling face the same face that had been with her for hundreds of years.

As the name “Yunyao” was called repeatedly, the scenes shifted from playful affection to deep sorrow. Tang Ning’an felt her vitality draining away, a sign that her life was nearing its end. She wiped away the woman’s tears and ultimately died in her arms.

Not far away, countless fragments lay scattered, and a man with a distorted, resentful expression glared at them.

The story concluded with Zhu Yun, who, after a century of punishment, managed to meet Tang Ning’an again. This reunion, however, drained her of all her power, and she fell to the ground like a broken kite.

The man laughed excitedly, seeing an opportunity to capture Zhu Yun, a parasitic spirit imbued with dragon energy and human blood. With her, his descendants would enjoy endless wealth. But his laughter was cut short as countless fragments pierced his body, leaving a series of bloody holes.

He died, but his scheme had succeeded, forcing Zhu Yun to sacrifice all her power for a single reunion.

Tang Ning’an now knew who the woman in her dream was, and she understood that this encounter was no simple coincidence it was destiny.

She couldn’t hold back her sobs of grief. When she embraced Zhu Yun, her tears flowed uncontrollably.

“An’an, you were sleeping so well. What happened to make you cry like this? Don’t cry, tell me what’s wrong. Your crying makes my heart ache,” Zhu Yun said, her voice filled with panic.

Tang Ning’an’s tears streamed down her face. She looked pitiful and helpless. Zhu Yun gently wiped away her tears with her fingers.

“Take your time, don’t rush. I’m right here,” Zhu Yun said softly.

Tang Ning’an’s lips quivered as tears fell like a string of pearls. “I miss you so much,” she whispered.

She lunged forward, pushing Zhu Yun into the sofa’s backrest. Zhu Yun smiled helplessly. “You’ve only been asleep for a few hours. You miss me that much?”

Tang Ning’an nodded, burying her face in Zhu Yun’s shoulder. “I do. I miss you so, so much.”

The husky voice of the woman resonated in Zhu Yun’s heart. “Hello, I’m moving in,” she seemed to say.

Zhu Yun’s eyes softened with affection. She could never refuse Tang Ning’an. “I know. I miss An’an too.”

Lying in Zhu Yun’s arms, Tang Ning’an realized she couldn’t hear a heartbeat. This “thump, thump” she heard could only be her own.

“Your heart is beating so fast,” Zhu Yun said with a laugh, hoping to distract Tang Ning’an from her sadness.

Tang Ning’an slowly lifted her head. She was now sitting on Zhu Yun’s lap, her face identical to the one in the dream. The thought that she had created this woman she loved so much filled her with immense pride.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

Tang Ning’an’s gaze was intense. She cupped Zhu Yun’s face in her warm hands and tightened her legs around Zhu Yun’s body, as if afraid she might disappear.

Zhu Yun blinked and asked with a smile, “What’s wrong?”

Tang Ning’an didn’t speak. She just moved closer.

The cool and warm sensations intertwined, making Zhu Yun nervous. She clutched Tang Ning’an’s clothes, not knowing what she would do next but still looking up at her with trust.

Tears still lingered in the corners of Tang Ning’an’s eyes. She finally summoned the courage to say the words she had hesitated to say before falling asleep.

“What am I going to do? I’ve realized I can’t live without you,” she said hoarsely.

Zhu Yun’s eyes widened. “Are you…are you sure you know what you’re saying?” she stammered.

Tang Ning’an smiled tenderly and nodded. “I love you. I want to be with you forever. When I open my eyes, you’re the first thing I see, and you’re the last thing on my mind before I close them. I’m not afraid of the cold or anything else. I only want you.”

Zhu Yun stared blankly until a gentle kiss landed on her lips. The warmth helped her regain her thoughts. As she sorted through her mind, she realized it was filled with nothing but Tang Ning’an.

Tang Ning’an held her face and kissed her lips gently again, then slowly deepened the kiss.

Their lips and tongues were cool, but Tang Ning’an was patient, warming them bit by bit, trying to melt the ice into spring water.

Zhu Yun held tight to her clothes. Her mind felt like a sky full of fireworks, the loud booms leaving her powerless to resist.

She became lost in Tang Ning’an’s tenderness, feeling herself being embraced.

They held each other tightly, with no space between them.

At that moment, Zhu Yun felt as if she had a heart for the first time, beating wildly, stirring all her emotions.

She was so dazed from the kiss that she would have fallen if not for the sofa’s support.

Tang Ning’an’s confession filled her with both shock and joy. At first, she was stunned, thinking it was a dream. After all, she was just a parasitic spirit—a ghost, to put it bluntly. She couldn’t give Tang Ning’an a normal life, a public relationship. Every date had to be in a secluded place, or else Tang Ning’an would be seen as an outcast for being able to see her.

“If Tang Ning’an couldn’t see me, would our fates have been different? Like in the original story, would we have missed each other?” she wondered.

The thought of “missing each other” was too painful. Zhu Yun stopped worrying about her identity. Compared to missing Tang Ning’an, she would rather be tied to her for a lifetime.

Zhu Yun gasped for air. She knew she couldn’t suffocate, but the woman was too aggressive.

She leaned weakly against the sofa’s armrest. Tang Ning’an seemed fine, apart from her heavy breathing.

Watching Tang Ning’an adjust her glasses, Zhu Yun had an idea.

“Come here.”

They had shifted from the sofa back to the armrest, a silent testament to the passion they had just shared.

Tang Ning’an obediently moved closer, her eyes filled with an affection that made Zhu Yun blush.

Seeing her chance, Zhu Yun reached for Tang Ning’an’s glasses. She smiled triumphantly, but in the next second, Tang Ning’an grabbed her by the waist.

Tang Ning’an’s fingers rested on Zhu Yun’s waist. She said in a low voice, “Remember the ink tattoo? Do you know why I could see it, but you couldn’t?”

Her fingers traced Zhu Yun’s skin, and even through her clothes, a subtle heat emanated from her touch.

Zhu Yun pouted. “Don’t be so mysterious. I’ll make your glasses disappear and then you won’t be able to see me!”

She held the glasses, thinking she had the upper hand, but Tang Ning’an quickly took control by revealing the truth about the tattoo.

Tang Ning’an wrapped her arm around Zhu Yun’s waist, pulling her onto her lap. “The reason I could see the ink tattoo is simple: I drew it for you.”

Zhu Yun couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re teasing me. We’re hundreds of years apart. How could you have drawn something on me?”

“Because I am Tang Yunyao.”

“Huh?!” Zhu Yun’s smile vanished. She stared at Tang Ning’an in disbelief, even touching her forehead. “You don’t have a fever. Why are you talking nonsense?”

Tang Ning’an knew it sounded unbelievable, but it was true. She was Tang Yunyao from 300 years ago and Tang Ning’an 300 years later.

Different eras had created different versions of her, but her connection with Zhu Yun remained, a bond of their souls.

She smiled and recounted the dream, her voice growing faint. Just before Zhu Yun fell asleep, she heard the words again: “I am Tang Yunyao.”

Zhu Yun felt she wasn’t sleeping, but returning to a place of comfort.

She tried to open her eyes. A warm, yellow light appeared and was flicked away by her finger. She stretched. “Don’t talk yet. Just answer one question. If Tang Yunyao from 300 years ago is the same as Tang Ning’an now, are the things I have in my system space related to her? Answer me with a YES or NO.”

The 857 system floated down helplessly. It couldn’t take this job anymore. It was constantly being hit with existential questions. How was it supposed to answer?

“Well?”

Yes! Yes, you already figured it out. Why are you asking me? You’re doing this on purpose, Zhu Yun!

Zhu Yun took a deep breath. A throbbing pain in her temples brought a strange sense of relief, as if the pain was not a torment but a sign of recovery.

The more it hurt, the clearer her mind became. Zhu Yun felt energized.

She asked again, “Since we’re the same person, why would a protagonist like her have such a deep connection with me? Based on the plot, I was just a passerby for the male and female leads. I shouldn’t have any involvement with the female lead. So there’s only one possibility: this world is messed up, and my role is not as simple as a passerby!”

Zhu Yun grabbed the 857 system floating in front of her. She raised an eyebrow. “I have another question.”

【Waaah, don’t say it. I’m deaf. I can’t hear anything!】

Zhu Yun wouldn’t let it get away. She tugged on the antenna on 857’s head. “What kind of system are you? What’s your purpose in bringing me to all these worlds? Is it really just to revive me? Or was even my original world part of your plan?”

【That’s not one question, you cheater! That’s a whole bunch of questions!】

Zhu Yun held it up to her face and smiled. “Doesn’t matter how many. Just answer me first.”

As she spoke, Zhu Yun’s eyes sharpened and changed color. The cold, light blue hue returned, making her look distant and on the verge of losing control, unlike the calm and gentle look the 857 system had seen before.

Okay! Okay, I’ll answer! Don’t get worked up. You can’t blow up the system space. We’ll all be doomed!

The 857 system was on the verge of tears. Why had an insignificant female lead system like it been so soft-hearted? Zhu Yun had already willingly untied the binding with it back then. Why had it been so reluctant to leave, choosing to stay and help her reverse the plot? It should have just left!

“Why aren’t you talking?”

Zhu Yun’s gentle murmur sounded like a countdown to 857’s demise, making it quickly open its mouth.

Don’t be mad at me! I almost lost my life for you. All the energy I’ve accumulated over the years has been spent on you. You owe me!

I’m a Yuri novel system, and you’re the Yuri novel female supporting character mission-taker bound to me.

I’m bringing you on these missions to reverse the plot.

The missions were to reverse and fix the plot points that had become Zhu Yun’s heart demons, and to fight against the plot restrictions holding her back.

At this moment, Zhu Yun’s personal profile panel appeared before her. The long-hidden title was finally revealed.

Zhu Yun read it aloud: “Yuri Novel Female Supporting Character Halo?”

【That’s right! We worked really hard to get that.】

Zhu Yun looked confused, so the 857 system huffed arrogantly. It’s a special halo made from your two emotional threads. It’s a shame I’m not as powerful as I used to be, or else I could knock you out with one punch!

“Emotional threads? What’s the use of this halo?”

It’s extremely useful! Do you think I’d get myself into trouble for no reason? Besides, you two went through a lot of hardships for these threads, so this hard-won halo has been a huge help. With it, you two won’t repeat your past mistakes, and we’ve had one successful mission after another.

Zhu Yun was even more confused. After a moment of hesitation, she said, “So if this halo didn’t exist, I wouldn’t be with the female lead. I’d still be trapped in the plot. And those plot points that shouldn’t exist caused me to have to do these missions to avoid being killed by the plot? Is that what you mean?”

【That’s right, Little Zhu is so smart! You can reason it out!】

The 857 system flew out of her hand and hopped around. 【I can’t tell you anything else. I’m afraid that the more you know, the more the plot will deviate from our plan. So in every world, we control your memories so you won’t be troubled by too many factors and can just focus on completing the missions.】

Zhu Yun held her forehead and laughed. “I…I never imagined it would turn out this way.”

【Don’t be scared. Everything’s going smoothly so far. I just hope Little Zhu’s original body can behave and not cause any more trouble.】

Zhu Yun was surprised. “My original body? Does my original body have a terrible personality?”

【Well, not really. It’s just a little bit unruly.】

“For example?”

【I can’t give you an example. I can only say you’ve never been normal.】

Zhu Yun was startled by its words. She frowned. “Is it that bad? Am I really that crazy?”

【Pretty much. But Little Zhu also found her match. It’s a case of one thing conquering another.】

Zhu Yun smiled, shaking her head. She was curious about her past self, the one who gave the 857 system such a headache.

As the 857 system answered her questions, her volatile emotions calmed down. The cold light in her eyes faded, and they returned to their normal color. Zhu Yun wasn’t aware of this change, so the 857 system breathed a huge sigh of relief when it saw her finally calm down.

Zhu Yun blinked shyly. “I won’t talk to you anymore. I need to go back to her.”

She then remembered something and apologized. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have lost my temper with you.”

The 857 system flew over and stuck itself to her cheek, using its actions to show its love for her. I would never be mad at Little Zhu. After all, I’ve hidden a lot of things from you. But Little Zhu, you have to remember, I’m a good system! I’m your partner. No matter what happens in the future, don’t ever untie the binding with me. I’ll be sad!

Zhu Yun held it and smiled softly. “Okay, I’ll remember what 857 said. I’ll never abandon you.”

It’s not about abandoning me. If you untie the binding, I’ll look like an ungrateful jerk. I was just attacked by another system, but I’m not weak! When we get back, we’ll definitely give it a good beating!

Zhu Yun looked at it with affection. Although many mysteries remained, she had found the answers she was looking for.

The woman named “Yunyao” had always been by her side, and the mysterious halo was made from their emotional threads.

Zhu Yun couldn’t wait to see her in this world.

She woke up from her dream. A flash of light blue made Tang Ning’an think it was a figment of her imagination.

Tang Ning’an didn’t have time to ponder, as Zhu Yun was already awake.

“An’an.” Zhu Yun joyfully pounced into her arms, like a playful puppy nudging against her.

Tang Ning’an’s heart finally settled. She asked worriedly, “Were you feeling unwell just now? In all the time I’ve known you, this is the first time I’ve seen you sleep.”

Zhu Yun’s lips curved, her eyes overflowing with affection. “I’m perfectly fine. I was just kissed until I fainted,” she said flirtatiously.

Tang Ning’an awkwardly looked away. The explanation was ridiculous, but she believed it anyway. She asked, embarrassed, “I’m sorry. I didn’t think about you. Are you okay now?”

“Hahaha, I was just kidding. You’re not that amazing yet.”

Zhu Yun hooked her arm around Tang Ning’an’s neck and smiled slightly. When she made that expression, Tang Ning’an nervously licked her lips.

“Want to kiss me again?”

Tang Ning’an said half-heartedly, “No.”

Zhu Yun scoffed. “Whether you want to or not, you will!”

She tilted her head and pressed her lips against Tang Ning’an’s. The glasses were in the way. Zhu Yun used her finger to push them up and complained, “I really want to throw these away.”

“Then I won’t be able to see you,” Tang Ning’an said.

Zhu Yun smiled playfully. In the past, she had used a spiritual charm on the glasses so as not to startle Tang Ning’an. Even without the glasses, Zhu Yun had a way to let her see her.

But now, Zhu Yun had a new idea. “You won’t be able to see me, but you can feel me.”

She forcefully took off Tang Ning’an’s glasses, and Tang Ning’an’s heart sank as Zhu Yun disappeared from view.

But then, a touch on her lips made her realize she was still there.

Tang Ning’an sighed, as if she understood what Zhu Yun was trying to do.

She closed her eyes. It was dark, but her lips felt Zhu Yun’s imprints one by one.

Cool fingers traced her face, then her collarbone, and finally stopped over her heart.

In that moment, Tang Ning’an couldn’t hear a single word from Zhu Yun, but she understood the meaning of her actions.

Because she knew her own heart was beating faster, she understood what Zhu Yun was doing.

The sky began to lighten. On the sofa lay a long-haired woman. The glasses were placed nearby by Zhu Yun. She slept soundly, no longer troubled by dreams.

She had found the woman who had lived in her dreams for so many years.

The kitchen was filled with the aroma of breakfast. The woman was preparing breakfast for Tang Ning’an.

【Oh, good morning. Little Zhu is in wife mode today.】

Zhu Yun pouted. “If she weren’t sleeping so peacefully, I would have already put her to work.”

She truly didn’t spoil her.
