{First arc: The infatuated female supporting role is no longer a dog }
Su Wan was a short-lived girl.
From birth, a life of smooth sailing without illness or disaster became a luxury.
She always carried a thermos with goji berries, slept and woke early, ate regular meals, avoided anger and stress, and every year, her birthday wish was to live a long life.
Yet, despite all of this, she was plagued by strange illnesses and barely made it into her twenties before one morning, on her way to work, she suddenly fainted.
That was it. She never woke up again.
In the haze of unconsciousness, she heard a cold, mechanical voice slowly ask:
“Do you still want to live?”
“Would you like to make a deal?”
At that moment, Su Wan didn’t know if she was alive or dead. Like a formless consciousness drifting in the universe, she grabbed hold of this glimmer of hope without hesitation and agreed.
She was willing!
[Compatibility 99.9%. Host matched successfully.]
[System bound.]
[First world unlocked.]
…
When she opened her eyes again, it felt like a lifetime had passed.
Gripping the soft long-fiber blanket, Su Wan placed a hand over her chest, feeling the strong heartbeat and took a deep breath, savoring the sensation of air rushing into her lungs. Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, soaking the edge of the blanket.
It felt so good to be alive!
Su Wan would now travel through various worlds, helping ill-fated supporting female characters fulfill their final wish of living out their natural lives.
Once her task was complete, she would return to the real world with a healthy body.
The story Su Wan found herself in was a revenge novel set in the entertainment industry.
The female protagonist, Su Qin, was the neglected illegitimate daughter of a wealthy family. After her mother died in childbirth, she was brought back to the Su family, where she was never loved. Su Wan, her half-sister, took all the affection she should have received, and even the powerful CEO Su Qin loved was engaged to her sister.
The original Su Wan had a bad temper and poor health. Everyone pampered her, except the male lead, who never liked her.
Both sisters entered the entertainment industry.
The original Su Wan squandered all her resources and dragged the Su family into bankruptcy.
Meanwhile, Su Qin repeatedly rose from the ashes. She eventually won numerous Best Actress awards and lived happily with the male lead.
Throughout the story, the original Su Wan did everything she could to sabotage Su Qin, but to no avail. In the end, she was left with nothing and, devastated, threw herself off a building.
Understanding the plot, Su Wan shuddered. “…”
Isn’t living better?
Dying from jumping off a building… that would hurt way too much!
Knock, knock, knock. There was a soft knock on the bedroom door. It was Auntie Wang, the maid. “Madam, lunch is ready. Would you like to get up and eat?”
“Oh, alright.”
Su Wan slowly pushed herself up from the mattress.
The original Su Wan had poor health—she had a congenital heart disease—and a bad temper that made her easily angered.
Yesterday, she had a fight with her nominal husband, the male lead, Li Yang. It was a one-sided outburst of frustration because Li Yang wouldn’t allow her into his bedroom, which enraged her.
They had been married for six months, but he always worked late into the night to avoid her. By now, Su Wan had realized how much Li Yang disliked her.
The fit of anger last night had overwhelmed her body, and she didn’t wake up until mid-afternoon today. Her limbs were weak and sore, and even getting out of bed was a struggle.
It was all such a mess.
Su Wan stared at her reflection in the mirror.
Her family had spent lavishly to care for her, so she didn’t look as sickly as she felt. In fact, even illness couldn’t hide her beauty and vibrant aura.
This face was about 70-80% similar to her original appearance. Su Wan had been very beautiful too, but her illness had worn her down, making her wither away during the prime of her youth.
Her full, fair cheeks were slightly pale, and her dark eyes blinked drowsily, half-closed with fatigue.
Su Wan yawned.
Being born into such a family, with loving parents, and a life of ease and comfort—how wonderful that would be.
It really made no sense to waste time on men.
The house was about 400 to 500 square meters, but Su Wan wasn’t clear on how many rooms it had. The decor was a simple European style, with white and gray tones dominating the space. From the bedroom to the dining room, the place felt cold and sterile, as if no one actually lived there.
No wonder the original Su Wan was depressed, she thought. Anyone would struggle to feel happy staring at such bleak colors all day.
Aunt Wang, who had been brought over from the Su family, was an expert in making nutritious soups and meals specifically to help Su Wan’s health.
Normally, Su Wan would just pick at the food, eating a few bites here and there without much interest.
But today, she held the bowl properly, eating seriously and even taking several extra bites of each dish.
Aunt Wang watched in shock—
What had gotten into her today? Had she lost her mind from anger?
Su Wan, who usually had a sullen face and was moody and hypersensitive, suddenly turned around and flashed a bright, toothy smile at Aunt Wang, her eyes curving like crescent moons.
“Today’s meal was delicious.”
Aunt Wang paused for a moment, dumbfounded. “Huh?”
The second Su Wan said that, she regretted it.
Su Wan’s good moods never lasted long, and Aunt Wang worried that in the next moment, she’d get angry again for no apparent reason.
But Su Wan called her gently, “Aunt Wang, I need to talk to you.”
“Wha… what is it?”
“Starting now, let’s cut back on spicy and oily foods. Make the meals lighter, okay? Oh, and do we have any warm milk for tonight? I want to sleep more comfortably.”
“Yes, yes, we do!” Despite her shock, Aunt Wang quickly recovered and agreed with ease.
“And later, could you find me a thermos? Just fill it with warm water and goji berries—nothing else. Thank you for your hard work.”
Su Wan put down her chopsticks and gently wiped her lips.
“You’ve always worked so hard. Starting this month, your salary will be doubled.”
Aunt Wang’s eyes instantly lit up. “Yes, yes! Everything will be prepared.”
To think that just a couple of glasses of water could earn her double the salary—it was like a dream come true.
