Chapter 1 The Villainous Female Supporting Character
"Have you seen the cast list for the variety show 'Men Farm and Women Weave'? It's shocking! Su Tangtang actually participated! Is she kidding me? This meaningful variety show is going to be ruined by her."
"Ahhh, I was really interested in this variety show when they only revealed one name, and I was really looking forward to seeing who they would choose. I never expected that they would choose Su Tangtang. She's like a dung beetle, she's everywhere."
"Jia Yi, I really can't stand seeing her around."
...
"Men Till the Fields and Women Weave" is an online interactive documentary program about labor launched by Qingcheng TV. The program focuses on the theme of men tilling the fields and women weaving, and the production team selected five couples to record their labor achievements over six months.
It's a very novel variety show.
The show has been very popular since its name was revealed, and the guests are all the most popular and talented people in the entertainment industry.
That's why netizens reacted so strongly when they learned that Su Tangtang was in the variety show.
"God, send Thor to strike Su Tangtang dead."
"Su Tangtang, get out of variety shows, get out of the entertainment industry."
"Speaking of which, she has really powerful connections. Her reputation in the entertainment industry is so bad that it's impossible for her to get on such a good show."
"There's nothing I can do about it; she's got a face that's good at seducing men!"
"Wasn't she pursuing Actor Gu? How come she suddenly has a boyfriend?"
Who knows!
"Either it's fake, or she's greedy and has her cake and eat it too."
"If they are really a couple, then I really admire that guy for being so generous and not caring that his girlfriend is pursuing other people."
"Add one."
"Is it possible that guy is after Su Tangtang's money?"
"What the person upstairs said makes some sense."
Su Tangtang crossed her legs and leaned back on the sofa. She put down her phone, revealing shallow dimples on her bright face.
There are reasons why netizens dislike Su Tangtang so much.
After all, she was truly wicked to the core.
She transmigrated into a book called "Men Till the Fields and Women Weave," a farming reality show, and she ended up in the body of the villainous female supporting character, Su Tangtang.
In the novel, Su Tangtang is twenty-three years old this year. She is a scoundrel and a pretty face in the entertainment industry. Two years ago, she squeezed into the entertainment industry with her image as a rich and beautiful woman, all for the sake of the movie star Gu Qingke.
Gu Qingke is not only a talented actor, but also a recognized aloof and celibate male god in the entertainment industry. No matter how others pursue and flirt with him, he remains unmoved. How could such an immortal be defiled by a vicious female supporting character?
Such a cold and aloof person would definitely only fall in love with the woman he loves.
But Su Tangtang, unbecoming of her position, shamelessly tried to get close to him.
She not only moved closer, but she was also malicious.
She can't have it, and she doesn't want anyone else to have it.
Su Tangtang picked up the water on the table, took a couple of sips, and continued browsing Weibo.
"Ahhh, even though I hate Su Tangtang, I'm going to watch it for the sake of Qingying CP."
“When the variety show started airing, whenever I saw Su Tangtang, I would immediately turn to her.”
"Sister, what a coincidence, that's what I was thinking too."
The female protagonist's name is Shen Yingying.
She and the male lead, Gu Qingke, went public with their relationship the day they started dating, and their fans were very supportive of them, even giving them the nickname "Qingying CP" (Light and Graceful Couple).
She and Shen Yingying are rivals in love, and also mortal enemies.
The two went to the same school from elementary school to high school, but Shen Yingying always managed to outdo her, which made her grit her teeth in hatred.
Su Tangtang remembered the description in the book: when the original owner was in elementary school, she stuffed earthworms into Shen Yingying's schoolbag, which scared the girl so much that she fainted.
In junior high school, he gave money to bad kids. After school, he stopped Shen Yingying and stripped her naked. Fortunately, the male lead appeared and saved her; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
In high school, Su Tangtang framed her for dating early, for stealing, and other schemes. In the end, the female lead retaliated and became the laughing stock of the whole school. Later, she slunk away and went abroad.
After several years abroad, on his first day back in China, he met Gu Qingke at the airport, fell in love at first sight, and began to pursue her.
However, Gu Qingke is devoted to the female lead, Shen Yingying, and ignores Su Tangtang's pursuit.
Su Tangtang was furious.
She brought her own investment to the production team, acted in a drama with Shen Yingying, appeared on a variety show, confessed her feelings for Gu Qingke on Weibo, tripped her up at every turn, and openly stole the male lead without any hesitation.
The internet is buzzing with rumors, with people calling her a homewrecker who interferes in other people's relationships, but she doesn't care at all and continues to do as she pleases.
So, upon learning that Shen Yingying and Gu Qingke had participated in the variety show "Men Farm and Women Weave," she immediately took money and used her connections to get in.
So when the show's cast list was released and her name appeared, the internet exploded, with many calling for her to get out of variety shows and out of the entertainment industry.
Enraged, she smashed her phone. Because she hadn't eaten all day, the force of the smash caused her to collapse.
Then she put it on.
The original owner's evil deeds didn't stop there.
When Su Tangtang was reading the book, she was so angry at the wicked female supporting character that she gritted her teeth.
After she got into the variety show through money and connections, she was lazy and irresponsible, seduced the male lead, ruined everyone's hard work, and even targeted her fake partner, framing and slandering him. In the end, she was killed by the male lead and her fake partner.
Su Tangtang patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, when she transmigrated, the show had just started, and she hadn't offended her fake boyfriend yet.
The original owner was blind to the greatness of Mount Tai, but she had read the original novel and was eager to recognize its true value.
After all, he's a business tycoon and an investor in this variety show. He's here to experience farm life, so she, a nobody, shouldn't try to cause trouble in front of him.
Seriously, Su Tangtang is both wicked and brainless.
She came from a wealthy family, was loved by her parents, and doted on by her brother. What more could she ask for? Yet she had to squander her advantages and cause her parents and relatives to abandon her.
"Knock knock".
The knocking on the door suddenly interrupted Su Tangtang's thoughts. She paused for a moment, then got up and walked towards the door.
Pushing open the door, a tall, imposing man stood in the hallway. He was impeccably dressed in a suit, his face stern, and his brows conveyed a sense of aloofness. When he saw her, his brow furrowed almost imperceptibly, and he asked in a cold tone, "May I come in?"
Su Tangtang stepped aside without saying a word, and simply walked back to the sofa and sat down.
The man walked in and sat down opposite her, his long, slender fingers folded on his knees, his sharp gaze scrutinizing her.
After a long pause, he spoke, his voice low and cold, "If it weren't for your brother's sake, you wouldn't even have a chance to get involved in this variety show."
Su Tangtang looked up at him, her expression calm, and she did not refute him.
The man seemed somewhat surprised by her silence, his brows furrowing even more, his tone becoming more serious, "The person you're partnered with is not someone you can mess with. Behave yourself and don't cause trouble."
If the original owner of this body were here, she would probably have exploded upon hearing this. She was always spoiled and willful and hated being threatened. But Su Tangtang, sitting on the sofa, simply nodded and said calmly, "Okay."
The man was clearly taken aback, his gaze lingering on her face for a few seconds, as if trying to find the arrogance he used to have in her eyes, but her eyes were calm as still water, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
After a long pause, he stood up and said condescendingly, "Take care of yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left, the door closing softly behind him with a barely audible creak.
Su Tangtang stared at the tightly closed door, a faint smile slowly spreading across her lips.
The person who came to warn her was none other than Han Yang, the chief director of the variety show, and a close friend of her good brother Su Tanghao.
Han Yang had always looked down on this eldest daughter of the Su family. He simply couldn't understand how his upright and honest friend could have such a spoiled and willful younger sister. Every time he saw Su Tangtang's face, which bore a striking resemblance to his friend, he couldn't help but frown.
-
The tranquility of the hotel was shattered by the program's announcement the following morning. When Su Tangtang arrived at the hotel entrance with slightly heavy steps, the other guests had already arrived.
A subtle atmosphere filled the air. Everyone first looked at Su Tangtang, who had arrived late, and then turned their gazes to Gu Qingke and Shen Yingying, who were holding hands. Their faces showed expressions of anticipation for a good show.
However, to everyone's surprise, the expected farce did not unfold. Su Tangtang simply walked quietly to the side of a non-celebrity guest and stood there, her expression calm as if she were a completely different person from usual.
Gu Qingke frowned as he scrutinized the unusually behaving Su Tangtang, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes. He secretly wondered what new trick this woman was up to this time. He then turned his face away in disgust, took Shen Yingying's hand, and boarded the bus. The man standing next to her ignored him and walked right past her.
Watching the departing figures, Su Tangtang unconsciously twisted the hem of her clothes with her fingertips. A thought suddenly flashed through her mind: since the original owner's family was wealthy, why not just quit this awful variety show? Anyway, the Su family could afford to support idlers, so why suffer this humiliation here?
"Su Tangtang! What are you daydreaming about? Get in the car!"
Han Yang's impatient reprimand interrupted her thoughts. This sudden accusation made Su Tangtang's nose sting, and her desire to quit the show grew stronger. She was neither the original owner of the body nor had any obsession with the male lead, so why should she humiliate herself in a show where everyone disliked her?
Just as she turned to leave, her phone screen suddenly lit up, displaying a message from her brother, Su Tanghao: "Behave yourself. If you dare to quit the show during filming, Dad will really cut ties with you this time."
Su Tangtang's knuckles turned slightly white as she gripped her phone. She tilted her head back, took a deep breath, and finally resigned herself to stepping onto the bus. In this unfamiliar world, the Su family was ultimately her only refuge, and she couldn't afford to gamble.
The atmosphere inside the carriage became lively as the camera was turned on. Su Tangtang, facing the curious or teasing gazes of the crowd, went straight to the empty seat in the last row. When she sat down next to Qu Yizhou, the leather seat made a slight sound.
"Hello everyone, I'm Zhou Yan."
"Qu Xian".
The first to speak were a model couple in the entertainment industry, both nearing forty. Zhou Yan's voice was like warm water infused with honey, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes only added to her mature charm.
Her husband, Qu Xianze, is calm and reserved. When the two smile at each other, the air seems to be filled with a tacit understanding accumulated over the years.
"Teacher Zhou's voice is so nice!" Wu Xiaojia, sitting in the front row, turned her head, her chestnut curly hair swaying gently with her movements. She winked playfully, "I'm Wu Xiaojia, my friends call me Xiaoxiao."
As she spoke, she took her boyfriend's arm and said, "This is my boyfriend, Zhao Zhiyi. His family owns a hot pot restaurant."
Zhao Zhiyi shyly pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses, her eyes behind the lenses curving into crescents. The story of this campus couple has long been a legend in the entertainment industry, a pure love story between a performing arts girl discovered by a talent scout and the young master of a hot pot chain.
When it was Lin Lang's turn, the pop diva was leaning on her husband's shoulder. Her sweet dimples contrasted wonderfully with Qiu Nan's cold profile. "My husband is a bookish professor," she said, shaking their clasped hands. "Don't be fooled by his face; he can make students cry in class."
Qiu Nan helplessly squeezed his wife's fingertips, a gesture that drew knowing smiles from everyone.
Suddenly, all eyes were focused on the last row. Su Tangtang felt a light sweat on her back, but she still smiled sweetly and said, "I am Su Tangtang."
She turned slightly to the man beside her, saying, "This is my boyfriend, Huo Yizhou."
The man whose name was called leaned lazily against the window, the unbuttoned collar of his black shirt revealing a section of pale collarbone. Upon hearing this, he merely lifted his eyelids, his nod restrained and distant.
Gu Qingke unconsciously straightened his back. The oppressive aura emanating from this man, whom the media called "Su Tangtang's caged canary," reminded him of the ruthless and decisive leaders at the board meeting.
Sunlight streamed through the car window, casting dappled patterns of light on Huo Yizhou's sharply defined profile. In the interplay of light and shadow, a chilling sharpness flashed in his usually indifferent eyes.
Shen Yingying's voice sounded particularly clear in the carriage. She tilted her head slightly and gave a perfectly timed smile. "I heard Mr. Huo is a financial analyst?"
Huo Yizhou turned his gaze from the window and slowly placed it on her face. His eyes were indifferent, yet they inexplicably gave off a sense of pressure.
“Miss Shen,” he said, a slight smile playing on his lips, his voice low and slow, “you’re worrying a bit too much.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the air seemed to freeze for a moment. Shen Yingying's smile froze on her face, and a hint of embarrassment flashed in her eyes. Her fingers unconsciously tightened around the armrest of the seat, and her knuckles turned slightly white.
Gu Qingke frowned, and subconsciously reached out to cover Shen Yingying's hand, giving it a soothing squeeze.
The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became subtle. The other guests tacitly looked away, pretending to organize their luggage or look down at their phones, but they were all listening intently to see what would happen next.
Su Tangtang sat next to Huo Yizhou, her eyelashes trembling slightly. She hadn't expected this man to retort so directly. After all, in the original story, he should have been a taciturn and submissive "fake boyfriend."
Huo Yizhou seemed to notice her gaze, turned his head to look at her, and a trace of emotion that she could not understand flashed in his deep eyes, before returning to a stagnant calm.
“I’m sorry,” he suddenly said, his voice neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone to hear, “I don’t really like people prying into my private affairs.”
These words seemed to be directed at Shen Yingying, but his gaze swept over everyone in the car who was listening intently.
The director wiped his sweat behind the camera; if this clip were broadcast, it would definitely trend on social media.
