The Beautiful Female Supporting Character is Flirtatious and Amorous [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 24

Chapter 24: I’m Convinced After Being Severely Educated by My Rival (1)

“Manman, besides Ying Chen, Fu Ying is also on the guest list for this show. The two of you have never gotten along, so you must be careful around her. She’s notoriously pampered and has a very loyal fanbase. Sometimes, just endure it if you have to; don’t let it ruin the big picture.”

The agent was advising Xu Yangyang with painstaking earnestness. “Fu Ying isn’t important. Your priority is to find a way to get close to Ying Chen as quickly as possible. Ideally, take the opportunity to make him acknowledge the dating rumors between you two.”

“Even if he doesn’t acknowledge it, it doesn’t matter as long as the public believes it. When that happens, even with ten mouths, he won’t be able to explain it away. That way, our goal will be achieved.”

The agent asked repeatedly, “Do you understand what I mean?”

“Understood,” Xu Yangyang replied lazily.

Her identity this time was named Yan Man, a highly popular internet singer. After signing with a friend’s talent agency, her friend secured a spot for her on a major farming reality show called Celebrities at the Farmhouse.

Besides her, the guests included Fu Ying, the original host’s arch-rival whom the agent mentioned; Ying Chen, the male lead of this world; and his official match, Duan Qingli. There were also two minor background characters, Gan Duanling and Deng Bokai.

As the male lead, Ying Chen didn’t have a high-status background; he was a “grassroots” actor who worked his way up to become a Movie King. Duan Qingli was the same. Their similar backgrounds led them to sympathize with each other, eventually sparking a romance during a shoot.

Ying Chen was handsome, tall, and carried an air of nobility. Consequently, the original Yan Man and Fu Ying—the two “vicious female supporting characters”—along with countless other wealthy women, fell in love with him at first sight. They pestered him repeatedly, wishing they could empty their fortunes just to make him happy.

However, “the falling flowers have intent, but the flowing water has no heart.” As this was a pure romance novel, Ying Chen remained steadfastly in love with Duan Qingli. They supported each other through ups and downs, finally winning top acting awards in their early thirties, basked in infinite glory.

Duan Qingli and Ying Chen became so dazzling that two top-tier wealthy families simultaneously “discovered” that these two were their long-lost children. Even though one was a legitimate daughter of the main wife and the other was an illegitimate son of a mistress, their immense popularity and massive fanbases made the two families happy to turn a blind eye and approve their marriage.

By the end of the story, the wealthy female supporting characters who gave their hearts to Ying Chen naturally met miserable ends.

Yan Man’s lies were exposed, turning her into a notorious “street rat” that everyone despised. Fu Ying, blinded by love, stole her family’s trade secrets to give to Ying Chen, only for Ying Chen and Duan Qingli to join forces and destroy her family. Her parents committed suicide by jumping off a building, and she went insane from the trauma, spending the rest of her life in a mental asylum.

As for the other wealthy women… they were picked apart to become the nourishment for Ying Chen’s growing business empire.

Essentially, everyone except Duan Qingli suffered a gruesome end.

Xu Yangyang finished browsing the plot with a calm face. “The male and female leads in this world are much stronger than the last one.”

0357 was speechless for a while: “They are a bit unnervingly strong.”

“Is that abnormal?” Xu Yangyang raised an eyebrow.

0357 didn’t hide the truth: “Correct. One can glimpse it from the fate of supporting characters like you. Logically, under the laws of this world’s Heaven, such characters shouldn’t have been born…”

“I get it.” Xu Yangyang interrupted the system. “The male and female leads in this world are either transmigrators or have been reborn. Only in those two scenarios could they change their fate and boost their luck so significantly.” She added, “Just like me.”

0357: “…”

“But didn’t you guys want me to protect the leads’ romance before? Why do you want me to destroy them now?” Xu Yangyang shook her head. “That’s also abnormal.”

0357’s face twitched several times. Why else?

If Xu Yangyang hadn’t been so destructive that she broke the last world, would the Main System have held an emergency meeting to create a new reform plan? The Main System and several other major systems discussed for seven days and nights before finally deciding: Since Xu Yangyang is so destructive, why not use that power to “fix” problematic small worlds? This way, Xu Yangyang stays busy, and the roots of trouble in those worlds are pulled out—killing two birds with one stone.

Of course, 0357 wasn’t going to tell her that.

“Host, it’s time to head to the show”, 0357 reminded her after a moment of silence. “Also, I have officially become a ‘regular’ system now, so my permissions and functions have increased. I will try to satisfy some of your small requests when the time comes.”

Before the voice could fade, Xu Yangyang held out her pale palm: “Then transfer one million to me first.”

0357: “?” Are you a bandit?

“That… is not possible…” it politely refused.

Xu Yangyang sneered. “You can’t even do that, and you say you’ve upgraded? It’s just a measly million; it’s not like I’m asking you to pluck the stars from the sky for me.”

“…”

I’d rather you ask for the stars. At least I could easily give you a projection of a starry sky.

The filming location for Celebrities at the Farmhouse was in a picturesque mountain range. The program staff were already waiting at the agency. Upon seeing Xu Yangyang, they immediately set up their equipment and started the live stream.

Because of Ying Chen, the original Yan Man’s reputation was currently poor. The moment the stream began, Ying Chen’s fans flooded in with passionate insults.

“Oh, isn’t this the scheming woman who’s obsessively chasing our Brother?”

“Yan Man, stay away from my Brother! My Brother isn’t someone an internet celebrity like you can touch. You’re not even as good as Fu Ying; at least Fu Ying is a legitimate singer. You? Besides riding coattails and hype, what can you do?!”

“Fu Ying is an eyesore, and Yan Man is even worse. I suddenly feel so bad for Ying Chen. If he had known, he shouldn’t have taken this show.”

“Why wouldn’t he? Everyone is dying to get into Director He’s gold-standard shows. Anything he directs is a ratings hit.”

“Looking at it this way, Yan Man’s agency is actually quite powerful.”

“Powerful? Who knows if she traded her body for resources? Just thinking about a filthy woman like her trying to touch our Brother makes me want to vomit!”

Xu Yangyang knew she was being recorded but couldn’t see the comments. She didn’t have much desire to see them anyway. It’s not like she wouldn’t stir up trouble on the show if people weren’t cursing her.

The corners of her lips curled into a half-smile. She cast a meaningful look at the camera. Time to see some entertainment; how exciting.

“Did you see that wicked smile from Yan Man? I suddenly have a bad feeling!”

“I saw it! But honestly, she looks so good when she smiles…”

“Are you dizzy from the heat? Besides a good skin, does this woman have any other merits?”

“Yes—she’s beautiful, pretty, and her looks are unmatched in the entertainment industry.”

The original host was indeed stunning. Even as an internet singer, her beauty was legendary, rivaling top stars.

Today, Xu Yangyang wore a smoke-purple jumpsuit. The cut fit her waist perfectly, and the hem trailed on the floor. With every step, her silver high heels revealed white, straight, long legs, making her look both radiant and imposing. Her makeup was bold today, with her long, wavy hair draped over her shoulders. She had a pointed chin, a swan-like neck, straight collarbones, and skin so pale it glowed like a pearl. She looked as if she were walking around with a built-in beauty filter.

She was breathtakingly beautiful, causing people to lose their focus. This was intentional. With the help of a professional styling team, her “10/10” beauty had been amplified to a “20/10.” Even Fu Ying couldn’t help but daze for a moment.

We haven’t met for a few days; how did my rival become so beautiful? Fu Ying screamed internally. She tried her best to remain calm, but her eyes were nearly spitting fire with jealousy. No, impossible. Yan Man must have used some new cosmetic technology. Thinking this, Fu Ying narrowed her eyes slightly. She sized Xu Yangyang up, as if trying to stare holes through her.

Xu Yangyang naturally noticed Fu Ying. She raised a pale hand to tuck a stray hair behind her ear and gave Fu Ying a dazzling smile. “Babe, don’t be in such a hurry.”

“If you want to look, I’ll let you see your fill tonight.”

Her tone was clearly smiling and non-aggressive, yet Fu Ying trembled with rage. She’s definitely provoking me! Yes, that’s it!

Fu Ying’s eyes widened, and she fiercely diverted her gaze. “Who wants to look at you? Do I not have the things you have?”

Xu Yangyang: “But…”

Fu Ying immediately pricked up her ears to hear how Xu Yangyang would “quibble.”

“Mine are bigger than yours.”

Fu Ying: “?”

“And perkier.”

Fu Ying: “???”

“Wait, hold on, are these two talking dirty right now?”

“D*mmit, let go of my daughter! She’s still just a child! Yan Man, you’re heartless, you won’t even spare a child!”

“Stop yelling. Your ‘child’ is currently flushed red from her ears to her neck.”

Fu Ying knew exactly what Xu Yangyang was referring to, but she was indignant! Her gaze involuntarily drifted toward Xu Yangyang, specifically circling the other’s chest, before she had to admit—she truly was outmatched.

Her mouth slumped in a pout; she was deeply discouraged. How can one win against something natural? She would have to go and… wait. Fu Ying suddenly calmed down. Something was wrong. Her rival’s personality wasn’t like this before.

After thinking calmly for a moment, Fu Ying let out a cold laugh and lowered her voice. “Don’t think you can defeat me and win Brother Ying Chen’s heart this way.”

“Brother Ying Chen isn’t that shallow of a man.”

Xu Yangyang: “He is.”

Pointing a finger at the late-arriving Ying Chen, Xu Yangyang smiled brightly. “Look how pale he is. Isn’t he just a shallow ‘pretty boy’ who lives off women?”

Fu Ying was stunned. Why did you start with personal attacks?

“Be respectful to him!” Fu Ying immediately stood up for Ying Chen. “He is not the kind of ‘pretty boy’ you’re talking about.”

Ying Chen arrived just in time to hear Xu Yangyang call him a “pretty boy” who lives off women. Before he could take two steps, he heard Fu Ying repeat it like a recorder, saying he lived off women once more. His face instantly darkened. Are they afraid the whole live stream won’t hear them?

Ying Chen felt nothing but coldness toward these two women who had pestered him multiple times. Fu Ying was somewhat tolerable as her family had influence that could help his career, but Xu Yangyang was entirely different. She came from a modest background; her parents were just ordinary teachers whose annual income didn’t even match a fraction of his pay for a single movie.

To Ying Chen, someone with zero utility value wasn’t worth a second glance. Looking displeased and wanting no contact with Xu Yangyang, he sat straight down in the row of male guests and closed his eyes to rest.

Perfect. Xu Yangyang didn’t want to deal with the male lead either. She elegantly found a seat. Seeing Fu Ying hesitatingly trying to get closer to Ying Chen, she suddenly shouted, “Fu Ying, come here.”

Fu Ying was startled by the sudden shout and reflexively turned to walk toward her. But after two steps, she realized what happened. Her face darkened as she stopped in her tracks. “Who do you think you are? Why should I listen to you?”

“If I go over just because you tell me to, wouldn’t I lose all my dignity?”

Fu Ying and the original Yan Man went to the same university. They became enemies over a “School Beauty” pageant. Throughout their four years of college, they fought over everything, their rivalry becoming public knowledge, though neither ever truly “won.” Later, Fu Ying entered the entertainment industry and finally became famous through her songs, only to find Yan Man starting to sing online and becoming an internet celebrity with fame rivaling her own.

Fu Ying had to split her earnings with her company, but Yan Man worked alone. Besides taxes, all her fees went into her own pocket. Even the advertisements she took on various platforms were lucrative. Sometimes, a 30-second daily life video from Yan Man would net a six-figure ad fee. To Fu Ying, who worked herself to the bone singing for money, this was simply “a scholar can be killed but not insulted.”

Fu Ying’s eyes would turn red with jealousy. She would be so angry she couldn’t sleep, and then she couldn’t help but search for Yan Man’s ad and sales fees online. After seeing them, she’d be even more unable to sleep.

Fu Ying glared at Xu Yangyang, grinding her teeth with a “I won’t come over, what can you do about it?” look.

Seeing this, Xu Yangyang let out a low laugh. Her voice was as pleasant as a silver bell, with an alluring magnetic quality that made one’s ears itch and bones melt. The original Yan Man was known as a “vocal monster.” If she hadn’t refused to sign with an agency, she would have been famous nationwide long ago. Even Fu Ying had to admit her rival was a natural-born singer.

Hearing Xu Yangyang laugh made Fu Ying’s heart itch, as if brushed by a feather. When Xu Yangyang finished laughing, her expression vanished. She stared at Fu Ying blankly. “If you don’t come over…”

Fu Ying’s heart jumped.

“…I’ll have to take action personally.”

“You wouldn’t dare!” Fu Ying jumped up. “We’re filming a show right now!”

Xu Yangyang tilted her head. “Guess if I dare. Want to bet?”

In the end, Fu Ying lowered her head. She didn’t dare bet. The other woman was a lunatic. Yan Man could afford to lose face, but Fu Ying couldn’t. She was an elegant and noble young miss from a wealthy family who had to maintain her beautiful image at all times; she was nothing like a “rude, crazy woman from the countryside” like Xu Yangyang.

Fu Ying let out a heavy huff and walked over to sit as far away from Xu Yangyang as possible.

Xu Yangyang didn’t mind. As long as she severed this major support for Ying Chen in the early stages, it was enough. However, this small effect clearly wasn’t sufficient; she had to keep working.

While her thoughts were racing, the final guest, Duan Qingli, arrived. Her face was full of apologies. “I’m so sorry, I was stuck in traffic, so I’m late.”

Fu Ying glanced at her and huffed in dismissal. Xu Yangyang nodded slightly as a polite greeting. The male guests were much more enthusiastic, with the three of them standing up gentlemanly to welcome her.

Seeing this, Duan Qingli’s fans immediately became upset.

“Yan Man and Fu Ying are so uneducated! They didn’t even stand up to welcome Duan Qingli when she arrived.”

“Is Duan Qingli some high-status person? Her ranking is at the bottom of the six, right?”

“Out of politeness, Yan Man and Fu Ying should have stood up. Or maybe they just don’t like Qingli and are already planning to bully and exclude her.”

“Hahaha, the fan above is so funny. Even if Ying Chen could give birth, Yan Man and Fu Ying couldn’t possibly form a ‘clique’!”

“Yan Man & Fu Ying: It turns out our bickering just now looked like sweet flirting to you.”

Since the guests were all present, it was time to depart. When checking in, Xu Yangyang specifically chose the seat next to Fu Ying. This caused Fu Ying—who had planned to sit next to Ying Chen—to turn black with anger. She glared at Xu Yangyang unblinkingly. “You really are haunting me!”

Xu Yangyang shrugged. “You don’t want to sit next to me?”

Fu Ying lifted her chin. “Of course not.”

“But I want to sit next to you.” Xu Yangyang blinked. “You’re fragrant, pretty, and good-looking. Sitting with you, I could eat two extra bowls of airplane food.”

Fu Ying: “…” D*mmit, you pervert.

She had a stomach full of anger with nowhere to release it. Finally, she marched over to Duan Qingli, who was sitting next to Ying Chen. “Hey, let’s switch seats. You sit next to Yan Man.”

Duan Qingli looked hesitant. Before she could decline, Ying Chen spoke up first. “What nonsense are you up to? We’re filming a show, not playing house. How can you switch just because you want to? Stay in your own seat.”

Fu Ying felt wronged. “Brother Ying Chen… I didn’t have any bad intentions, I just wanted to be closer to you.” Tears welled up in her eyes. “Even that isn’t okay?”

“Of course it’s not,” Xu Yangyang interjected into the trio’s conversation. “Can’t you see your Brother Ying Chen prefers to be next to his Sister Qingli?”

Xu Yangyang laughed gloatingly. “With zero situational awareness like that, I really don’t know how you survive in the entertainment industry.”

Fu Ying was so angry she puffed up like a pufferfish, unable to speak. “You!”

Xu Yangyang looked at her for a few moments and then asked without warning, “Are you crying?” She suddenly leaned in close, her face right in front of Fu Ying’s. “You’re really crying?”

Even if Fu Ying hadn’t been crying, she would have been driven to tears by her right now. As Fu Ying’s eyes reddened, Xu Yangyang added, “Actually, you look quite pretty when you cry.” With that, she reached out and grabbed Fu Ying’s wrist, pulling her toward their seats. “Come on, cry a few more times for me to see.”

Fu Ying’s fans were stunned.

“Is she a demon? How can she be so annoying?”

“If she wasn’t annoying, how would she break the awkwardness? Everyone says Fu Ying is a ‘love-brain’ who only revolves around Ying Chen; today is truly an eye-opener.”

“Ying Chen… isn’t that excellent, is he? (Confused face.jpg)”

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”

“How dare you call my Brother a ‘beholder’!”

“How dare you call my Fu Ying a ‘beholder’!”

Fu Ying’s agent let out a sigh of relief seeing this. His artist was great in every way except for being a “love-brain.” Whenever she saw Ying Chen, it was like she was cursed; she would stick to him immediately. Because of this, the agent was incredibly worried.

What kind of artist throws away huge sums of money just to make a man happy? What kind of artist never touches chores at home but wants to cook for a man the moment she’s out? What kind of artist is usually clever and lively, but turns into a headless chicken the moment she meets a man—losing her mind and seeing nothing but him?

The agent had originally hated his artist’s rival, but seeing this today, she didn’t seem so bad. As long as she can cure Fu Ying’s love-brain, she is my, Wang Gang’s, best friend!

After being pulled back by Xu Yangyang, Fu Ying was still unwilling. Her watery eyes couldn’t stop glancing back at where Ying Chen and Duan Qingli were sitting.

Xu Yangyang didn’t care this time; Fu Ying was physically here. As for where her heart was drifting, Xu Yangyang didn’t mind.

Xu Yangyang had gone to the restroom earlier to change into casual clothes—a plain white T-shirt and jeans. Although simple, her face was so outstandingly vivid that it brightened the entire surroundings.

Having rejected a man who came over to ask for her contact info, Xu Yangyang’s gaze drifted casually toward Fu Ying.

Sure enough, Fu Ying immediately bristled. “What are you so proud of? What’s there to be happy about when a man asks for your contact info? They only come to hook up with you because they think they’re worthy of you and can control you.”

“Unlike me, with my noble status and beautiful face…” Just as she spoke, a shifty-eyed man walked over. “Hey beauty, let’s add each other on WeChat.”

Fu Ying’s voice stopped abruptly. Her face looked as though she had swallowed a fly. She took a deep breath and then rejected him without hesitation: “Get lost!”

Xu Yangyang was in fits of laughter, collapsing into her seat. Fu Ying was flushed red, both angry and ashamed, wishing she could dig a hole and bury herself on the spot. Xu Yangyang’s laughter was loud and unrestrained. Fu Ying was forced to listen to her laugh for a full three minutes, her patience reaching its limit.

Three minutes later, Xu Yangyang finally stopped. Tears had come out from laughing. She turned her flirtatious peach-blossom eyes toward Fu Ying, looking tender and affectionate.

“Little Fu Ying, why are you so cute?”
