Chapter 1

“WANG RUOYAN’S LIFE HANGS BY A THREAD AFTER BLOCKING KNIFE FOR SHENG JR.!”

“THOUSANDS OF FANS GATHER TO PRAY FOR WANG RUOYAN AT HOSPITAL!”

“WANG RUOYAN: A LIVING SYMBOL OF KINDNESS, BEAUTY, STRENGTH AND COURAGE!”

“WANG RUOYAN: AN ANGEL DESCENDED TO EARTH!”

WANG RUOYAN: SHENG JR’s HEAVENSENT MATCH!”

—

“Look! Just look at this! The media’s praised Wang Ruoyan to the high heavens by now.
What ‘heavensent match’ for Sheng Jr.? Why weren’t you the one to block the knife for him? All three of you were kidnapped, but why didn’t you do anything to win Sheng Jr.’s heart?!

“These people make sense.
If I was Sheng Zhiming (盛至明), I’d pick Wang Ruoyan (王若妍) over you too.
But you’re supposed to be closer to him, yet you got overshadowed by an outsider! Look at you, craven and scared of death.
That’s definitely not true love.”

The woman dressed in a white suit paced back and forth in the hospital room as she fretted.

“……” said Ye Wei (叶薇).

“Why aren’t you saying anything? Ye Wei? Why are you still eating? What time do you think it is now? You can still stuff yourself?”

“Oh, I’m a little hungry,” Ye Wei explained.
“Sister Liu, don’t panic.”

Sister Liu was Ye Wei’s agent, full name Liu Jia (刘佳).
She had been in charge of Ye Wei ever since her debut.

Liu Jia only lamented that Ye Wei was iron that couldn’t turn into steel.
“You still know to be hungry at a time like this?”

“….being hungry is a normal physiological reaction.
Why wouldn’t I know it?” Ye Wei cradled her chicken soup and took another sip, then munched on a piece of Chinese yam that had been boiled tender in the stew.

Liu Jia could only see stars in her vision.
“Enough, stop eating.”

“…alright,” Ye Wei couldn’t help compromising.
She stopped drinking the soup, but didn’t let go of the bowl.

“…..” Liu Jia paced back and forth, on the edge of a breakdown.
“Why weren’t you the one who blocked the knife ahhhh?! It’d be great if that was you!”

Ye Wei was stunned. Am I that great and selfless in Liu Jia’s eyes? She seems so disappointed.

No, I can’t let it go on like this.

“Why do I have to block the knife for Sheng Zhiming?” Ye Wei piped up.

“Why?!” Liu Jia exclaimed, “Are you a fool?! If it was you, then you’d be getting all the attention right now! And your place in Sheng Jr.’s heart will change, and you’d earn the gratitude of the Sheng family.
From then on, you’d never have to worry about resources again.
Let me ask you, would you block the knife if you had a second chance?”

“I wouldn’t,” Ye Wei replied.

“I knew you’d…wouldn’t? Why not?!”

Because she was the supporting female. Things like blocking a knife weren’t part of the job, so she couldn’t very well steal the female lead’s thunder.
She wouldn’t do it even if she wasn’t a supporting female character, especially after seeing the blade stab into the female lead’s shoulder and all the blood that flowed out.
It was a terrifying sight.

“I don’t want to, I’m afraid of pain and death.
What if I died?”

“Didn’t Wang Ruoyan survive just fine?”

“I’m not Wang Ruoyan.”

“….” Liu Jia actually had no retort.
Feeling odd, she asked, “Why do I feel like you’re in a great mood?”

…she noticed that too? I thought I was hiding it super well.

At this point in the story, her role as the villainous supporting female was just about over.
She could withdraw from the frontlines and go back to get her salary, so why wouldn’t she be happy? Ask anyone off the street if they’d be happy to get their pay and go on holiday? Not only that, she also got a chance to draw a random cheat, things like a personal dimensional storage space, a red packet, a beautifying system, scientific system, traditional Chinese medicine system, etc.
Ye Wei desperately wanted the traditional Chinese medicine system but had failed to get it in multiple tries.
With her task on the cusp of being done, it’d be strange if she wasn’t thrilled.

“I’m not, you’re making things up.
I’m almost vexed to death right now,” Ye Wei tightened her grip on the soup bowl and gnashed her teeth.
“Hmph, don’t you worry.
I won’t let that Wang Ruoyan off.
Does she think everything will go her way just because she blocked a knife for Sheng Jr.? There’s a ton of people who’d be willing to do the same thing, so she’s nothing special.”

Liu Jia’s mouth twitched before silently agreeing with the naysayers who said Ye Wei was brainless.
“Can’t you think a bit more? If there really were plenty of people, why didn’t you block it? You’re supposed to be Sheng Jr.’s bedmate!”

“I won’t, I’m afraid of dying,” Ye Wei replied.

“……” said Liu Jia. She seriously has no brains.
Doesn’t she know about no pain, no gain? 

Bang!

The door to the room was soundly kicked open.
Liu Jia whirled around in alarm, while even Ye Wei was startled.
The bowl in her hands shook and nearly spilled over.
By the entrance stood a man who was none other than Sheng Zhiming! Behind him was his assistant wearing an expression of ridicule.
It was obvious he had overheard their conversation. 

Liu Jia glanced between Sheng Zhiming and Ye Wei.
His complexion looked ghastly, so it was likely he’d caught them talking.
She wanted to box herself on the ears for asking all those questions. We’re doomed doomed doomed.
Why did this ancestor suddenly show up?! I was blocked at the door every other time I tried to call on him.

As expected, Ye Wei mused, The villainous supporting female can’t say things behind people’s backs, because she’ll always expose her true cowardly, death-fearing side.

The man was 188cm tall and dressed in a simple undershirt and long pants.
He had a powerful aura and the wound on his face did nothing to detract from his features.
Instead, it made him look more wild and unrestrained.
Those dark eyes shone with a dangerous light that simultaneously warned one to flee while drawing one closer.
Currently, he was wearing an ugly expression, icy cold and predatory.
He looked askance at Ye Wei, as if waiting for her to keep babbling.

“….” said Ye Wei.
Finally, she sprawled to the side of the bed and said quickly, “Zhiming, don’t misunderstand.
I didn’t mean it that way, so don’t misjudge, ah…”

“Didn’t mean it in what way?” the man asked frostily.
“Heh.”

“It’s true, really.
Believe me!”

“Then what did you mean? You’d block the knife for me?” Sheng Zhiming asked.

Liu Jia rejoiced as she looked expectantly towards Ye Wei. Hurry up and say you’re willing, that you would, ah!

“…urk,” Ye Wei trailed off.

“Heh,” Sheng Zhiming replied.

Liu Jia forced her face into a smile.
“So it’s Sheng Jr., ah.
You must have come to see our Wei Wei.
The doctor says Wei Wei’s injuries have gotten much better, she was only too frightened and needs time to soothe her spirits.
Not only that, she’d been worrying about you to the point where she can’t even eat.
These past few days, she’s shed a few pounds.”

The handsome man gave a cold laugh.
“She looks perfectly fine to me!”

Sheng Zhiming and Ye Wei had been together for a while.
Although his heart wasn’t set on this woman, he had always been exceptionally sensitive to other people’s feelings.
If he wasn’t mistaken, Ye Wei’s face didn’t show a speck of worry or fear.
She didn’t care about his safety or feared that he’d be angry.
Instead, her cheeks had even turned rosier after a few days in the hospital. 

Heh.
You have the gall to say she cares about me like this?

“Trust me, I really am worried about you! I don’t want you to die!” Ye Wei exclaimed, then asked, “Are you mad at me?” 

The beautiful, voluptuous woman sitting on the bed was radiating loveliness.
Despite wearing no makeup, her features looked even more delicately charming, weak, and tender.
Her pretty eyes gazed at him with a sincerity that shook Sheng Zhiming for a second, because it was too genuine; he couldn’t see a speck of hypocrisy there, though it just made the whole thing more like a sham.
He thought of Ye Wei’s curt “I won’t” as his eyes froze into a chilling glance.
Even the assistant by his side felt anxious and subtly shifted on his feet.

As if he couldn’t bother to comment, Sheng Zhiming gave a cold laugh before turning to leave.
Liu Jia saw that everything was going wrong and hastened after him, pleading and offering explanations.
But she didn’t even earn a look and was stopped at the door by his bodyguards, then forced back into the room by the assistant.

Liu Jia was both furious and fretful. What a great chance that was! If Ye Wei had said she was willing, the results would be different now.

She dragged her heels back to the hospital room, only to see Ye Wei licking her oil-stained lips.
Her eyes glanced at the soup bowl, which was now completely empty! Not a speck of soup remained as she’d eaten it clean!

Badump.

“Ye Wei!! You should quit the entertainment circle!!!”

“…..” said Ye Wei.
That’s true, it was about time for her to get lost.
She wouldn’t stop it either, because her only goal in this life was to complete the mission and leave. 

Moreover, Wang Ruoyan had the female lead halo around her, so she wouldn’t even die from a stab wound.
Instead, it’d give birth to a loyal love between her and the male lead.
But she was a different case.
As a villainous supporting female plagued with the supporting female halo, she would always be caught doing bad deeds to serve as a foil to the female lead’s kindness, sincerity, and beauty.
If she really tried to block a knife, she’d probably die.
Furthermore, how could any supporting female who hankered after the male lead think of sacrificing her own interests for the sake of others? She wouldn’t do anything that was out of character.

Currently, Ye Wei was playing the part of a villainous supporting female.
In her last life, she had ended in a vegetative state after a car crash.
Although her consciousness was there, giving her occasional glimpses of sound in the outside world, she couldn’t wake up.
Her initial anxiety and impatience had soon given up to despair.
This continued for two years before a voice in her head invited her to join the Space-Time Administration Bureau’s assessment program. 

She thought it was all a hallucination from being locked in too long, but accepted because she was too bored.
She managed to pass through the minimum 60% average needed to qualify and started her work with the bureau.
Only then did she discovered that there were 3,000 realms,1 each with its own set of characters beloved by the Heavens, AKA its protagonists.
They could be considered children of fortune beca
