It was a sunny afternoon, a gentle breeze was blowing, birds were singing, and flowers were blooming—it seemed like a perfect opportunity for a picnic. However, upon hearing the cheerful laughter and singing behind her, Zhang Xu's hands trembled slightly. She didn't know whether to put down the whip or hold it; for a moment, she was completely bewildered. Was she dreaming?

Before her lay a sizable pond, with withered lotus blossoms scattered across its mirror-like surface. The emerald green lotus leaves clung tightly to the water's surface, creating a picturesque scene if left undisturbed. However, in the pond, an unidentifiable object bobbed up and down. It was about to sink, yet it remained silent, for the people on the bank threatened it with whips. If it dared to utter a sound, they would make its death even more gruesome.

A gurgling sound came from the water, and a series of messages caught Zhang Xu completely off guard.

Help! How could something so ridiculous happen to her?

She time-traveled, or rather, she time-traveled into a book.

Last night was Lunar New Year's Eve. At the dinner table, Zhang Xu was relentlessly teased about being single by her family. The proud young woman angrily threw down her chopsticks and went to her room to sulk. However, misfortune can strike even the most difficult time. While browsing through her collection from her non-mainstream era, Zhang Xu accidentally bumped into a serialized novel, which landed her inside the book and turned her into a supporting female character.

Not only is she a supporting female character, but she's also a cunning, jealous, and vicious one.

"While everyone was enjoying drinks in the front yard, Xuxu came out to fetch the princess's cloak and discovered Yan Chenghuan hiding in the bushes. Overcome by a sudden surge of malice, Xuxu pulled him out of the bushes, threatening him to be quiet, and after a beating, pushed him into the lotus pond. Despite the bright sunshine, Yan Chenghuan felt unusually cold." This description comes from Yan Chenghuan's recollection in the original book, specifically in the latter half, during his confession to the female lead.

At that moment, this description appeared in Zhang Xu's mind.

Zhang Xu's timing for transmigrating was exceptionally good; it happened right at the moment in the original book when Xu Xu pushed Yan Chenghuan down.

She pushed the villain into the lotus pond; is there any hope for her? Awaiting answer online.

Yan Chenghuan's splashing in the water suddenly intensified. Before she could think about the cause and effect of the situation, Zhang Xu, whose nine years of compulsory education did not allow her to watch such a person in front of her and stand by and watch him die, was left to fend for himself.

"Got it, I'll pull you up."

Yan Chenghuan instinctively grabbed the whip Zhang Xu threw at him, but when he met Zhang Xu's concerned gaze, he couldn't tell if Zhang Xu's concern was genuine or just another way to tease him. He wanted to let go of the whip as soon as he loosened his grip.

Upon realizing her intention, Zhang Xu panicked. In the original story, Yan Chenghuan was a demon who was afraid of water. Who knew what kind of trouble would result from her releasing him?

"Hey, hey, don't let go! Grab me, I'll pull you up."

The water in this lotus pond was quite deep. At this time, Yan Chenghuan was only thirteen or fourteen years old and small in stature. If he sank any deeper, he might really drown.

Realizing his situation, Yan Chenghuan still gripped the whip that Zhang Xu had thrown at him.

In the original book, Xu Xu practiced martial arts in her childhood and was quite strong. Zhang Xu only used a little force to pull Yan Chenghuan up.

"You're all soaked, go back and change your clothes!"

Standing on the shore, Yan Chenghuan was a head shorter than her. Zhang Xu reached out to smooth his messy hair, but Yan Chenghuan raised his head and coldly stared at her with his dark eyes.

Feeling a bit cold under that gaze, Zhang Xu awkwardly touched the whip in her hand. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to."

Even Zhang Xu herself couldn't believe this. In the original story, Xu Xu had done more than just this one bad thing! She had already left a deep wound in the second male lead's heart.

Yan Chenghuan ignored her and turned to leave, still covered in wet clothes.

As he reached the corner, he turned around and found the little maid who always liked to bully him standing there blankly, her eyes downcast. The sunlight fell on her, unexpectedly giving her a warm glow, like a rabbit that had been unexpectedly awakened from hibernation.

A rabbit? How could she possibly be a rabbit? Yan Chenghuan revealed a cold smile that didn't suit her age. This woman's methods of tormenting people weren't those of a rabbit; they were more like those of a venomous snake. As for why she thought of saving him today, perhaps she had come up with some new way to torture him!
