Chapter 1: Transmigrating into a Book

"It's over, it's over." In the mirror, a young girl was touching her face, her expression full of panic.

The girl was about 1.6 meters tall, around 15 or 16 years old, with an oval face and a hint of baby fat, large eyes paired with thick eyelashes, a small nose, and pink lips. She wore a white one-piece nightgown. Though not dressed formally, it was clear that the girl's appearance was exceptionally outstanding.

Ye Kelin never expected that after waking up from a nap, everything would be different. Her surroundings were completely unfamiliar, and even her face had changed. Transmigration? Could it be that she had transmigrated?

[Ding, binding successful. Hello Host, I am System 001.]

Suddenly, an electronic voice sounded in her ear, making Ye Kelin's heart tremble. As if grasping a lifeline, Ye Kelin gritted her teeth and said,

"You're the System? Tell me what's going on? How did I end up here?"

[Because the Host died, you were bound by this System and brought to this world.]

"I... died?" Ye Kelin blinked, shaking her head in disbelief. She remembered reading a novel at night, feeling drowsy, and then falling asleep. Yet the System said she died?!

[Gas leak.] the System said coldly.

Hearing this reason, Ye Kelin rubbed her nose, unsure how to refute it. After all, it was something that could happen. Thinking about it, she was an orphan with no parents, had just started university, hadn't achieved much, and spent her days either working part-time or staying at home. Whether she came here or not didn't really matter.

Ye Kelin thought this way, but the next moment, she was proven wrong because...

"Why am I the villainess!"

Having just accepted the memories, Ye Kelin couldn't help but wail. She had actually transmigrated into the book she read yesterday. That was bad enough, but she was even the villainess. How evil was she?

This was an apocalyptic harem novel—yes, a harem. Her role was incredibly important because she was the greatest contributor to bringing the male lead and female leads closer together. It could be said that without this character, whether the female leads would end up with the male lead would become an unknown matter.

Her combat power was astonishing. She maneuvered among the female leads, not like a male lead would, but through framing and humiliation.

She employed every conceivable method, firmly holding the Hatred Value of all characters. The book hadn't ended yet, so Ye Kelin didn't know what would become of this character, but what could possibly happen? Being so malicious, she was bound to meet a miserable end.

If she had known she would transmigrate into this villainous character, Ye Kelin would have refused to cross over at all costs. And the apocalypse—afterward, a world of nothingness would unfold. That wouldn't be fun at all. It would be better to die honestly, at least without much pain.

[As long as the Host completes the missions, she will receive rewards from the System.]

"So there are rewards?" Ye Kelin's eyes lit up.

[Accumulating Mission Points can unlock the System Store.]

The System Store! Hearing this, Ye Kelin grew even more excited. Did this mean she could survive without relying on the male and female leads? The female lead was only 15 now, and there were still several years until the apocalypse...

Just as Ye Kelin was lost in thought, knock knock knock—the door suddenly sounded. She immediately poked her head out of the bathroom.

"System, what if I can't maintain the character's persona?"

[This body's emotions are highly variable. The Host need not worry.]

Taking the System's words as a sedative, Ye Kelin suppressed her inner tension and slowly opened the door. She froze upon seeing the person outside because they were just too good-looking.

Neat, ear-length short hair, eyes filled with heroic spirit, cool thin lips, and phoenix eyes that gleamed with a cold light. She was a head taller than Ye Kelin, with a model-like figure.

Not just model-like—looking at the swaying bust before her eyes, Ye Kelin felt like her nose was about to bleed.

[Ding ding ding, detecting one of the female leads: Chen Siyan.]

Chen Siyan! Ye Kelin's pupils contracted. Besides maxing out the Hatred Value, this villainous female character had another formidable trait. Before the apocalypse arrived, she was already entangled with several of the female leads. Ye Kelin was certain of at least three, and Chen Siyan was one of them.

[Beginning to compile target data. Favorability toward Host: -60, Darkening Value: 50, Hatred Value: 60...]

Ding-dong sounds kept ringing in her ears, but the first part of the message had already petrified Ye Kelin.

"Breakfast is ready. Come down to eat." An extremely cold voice came from Chen Siyan's lips, tinged with a hint of hoarseness. Without waiting for Ye Kelin's response, she turned and walked downstairs, clearly wanting no further contact with Ye Kelin.

Gently closing the door, Ye Kelin clutched her head and wailed in despair:

"What's with these numbers? System, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

[The System's detection cannot be wrong. If the Host wishes to view detailed information, she can check the Character List.]

Following the electronic voice, a light screen appeared before Ye Kelin, displaying Chen Siyan's information:

Name: Chen Siyan

Identity: Female Lead / Daughter of Fortune / Long Family Adopted Daughter / XXX / XXX

Age: 17

Appearance: 95 (100)

Intelligence Quotient: 95 (100)

Combat Power: 25 (Adult Male: 10)

Spiritual Power: 90 (Normal Person: 60)

Ability: ???

Though it was called detailed information, Ye Kelin felt there wasn't much to say. She opened her own profile to take a look:

Name: Ye Kelin

Identity: Villainess Female Supporting Character / Long Family Adopted Daughter / Expert at Courting Death / XXX / XXX

Age: 16

Appearance: 95 (100)

Intelligence Quotient: 70 (100)

Combat Power: 6 (Adult Male 10)

Spiritual Power: 45 (Normal Person 60)

Ability: Super Crybaby, Number One Burden, Hysteria, Brain-Piercing Demonic Voice, Unreasonable Tantrums.

Looking at the last two numbers, Ye Kelin sighed, feeling like she was nothing but a weakling with big breasts and no brains! And what was up with these abilities? Not a single one was good!

Then, seeing the identity of the Long Family adopted daughter, she scratched her head. Both the original body and Chen Siyan were children adopted by the Long Family from an orphanage. The reason was that the Long Family had only one heir per generation, and in this generation, the head of the Long Family felt that his only daughter was too lonely, so he adopted two girls to raise alongside his own daughter. If they got along well, they would become her future right-hand women.

Unfortunately, Chen Siyan might fit that role, but the original body was nothing but an ungrateful wretch. Whether the apocalypse arrived or not, Ye Kelin didn't believe the original body would ever work faithfully for the Long Family. Sigh... what a mess...

The original body's personality was the most troublesome. She often said that crying children get candy. In a situation where the two above her had nothing to worry about, Ye Kelin was undoubtedly the most pampered little daughter, which also fostered a spoiled and self-centered nature. Ye Kelin rubbed her temples, feeling an intense headache.

[Ding, triggered mission (S). Please, Host, raise the female lead Chen Siyan's Favorability to 50, Darkening Value to 20, and Hatred Value to 30. Time limit: three years. Mission success reward: Hidden Skill x1, Points 10,000, Strength Value +20."]

[Ding, triggered mission (D). Please, Host, initiate a conversation with the female lead Chen Siyan, at least three sentences, with the other party responding with at least 10 words. Time limit: one day. Mission success reward: Lottery Draw x1, Points 100, Strength +1.]

Stunned by the sudden appearance of two missions, Ye Kelin cautiously asked:

"System, what happens if I fail the mission? Are there any penalties?"

[No penalties, but completing missions can enhance your abilities. What will happen afterward, I believe the Host understands.]

Ye Kelin shuddered. Right, the apocalypse is coming. Isn't Combat Power the most important thing? And this S-rank mission—if she really completes it, she'll have one less enemy. There are still five years until the apocalypse. Spending three years might not completely turn things around, but improving should be... possible, right?

[Host, the System is pleased that you are thinking carefully, but don't forget, you should go downstairs for breakfast now.]

"Right, right, breakfast." Ye Kelin clapped her hands, quickly tidied her appearance, opened the door, and hurried downstairs.

Her current Favorability couldn't afford any carelessness. If it dropped any further, she'd truly be doomed.
