Chacha felt thirsty after staying up all night reading a novel.

She put down her phone and tried to get out of bed to get some water. But when her feet touched the ground, her mind went blank and her body lost its strength, and she lurched forward.

Chacha was startled and then her heart dropped.

What bad luck. She would surely get a big bump on her head.

However, the imagined pain didn’t come. Her body regained its strength and the white light in her vision disappeared.

She saw a bright hall with tables and chairs arranged in a regular pattern, and in front of her were two young girls.

The girls’ hair was curled and their faces were covered with makeup. Their makeup skills were pretty good and they looked quite delicate.

Chacha: “……” A-a fantastical event?

One second she was nestled in her small room at home and the next she was inside a bright cafe.

Base by the light outside, it was now afternoon.

But it was clearly past six in the morning when she had just finished replying to a message at her home.

“Xiao Cha, Ning An is simply disgusting. She kept acting like a white lotus^[1]someone who is pure in appearance, but opposite inside in front of Jiao Nanshen^[2]dream guy; Mr. Right; prince charming; crush, while she bares her fangs and brandishes her claws in front of us. So disgusting. How can there be such a disgusting person?” The girl with light yellow eyeshadow clicked her tongue.

Chacha: “……Mm.”

Ning An? Jiao Nanshen?

Coincidentally, in the novel she had just finished reading, the female protagonist’s was name Ning An and the male protagonist’s surname was Jiao.

The girl who was applying nail polish echoed, “That’s right. Xiao Cha, let’s teach Ning An a lesson so that she doesn’t continue to be so presumptuous. The person Jiao Nanshen likes is you. Her appearance and family background is just mediocre and she’s only a transfer student with average grades. She can’t compare with you at all. How dare she be so brazen? It’s really annoying. When she first came here, she cunningly pounced on Jiao Nanshen while running to make him pay extra attention to her. She thought Jiao Nanshen really favored her. How conceited.”

Chacha: “……Um.”

Coincidentally, in the novel she had just finished reading, the female protagonist was also a transfer student and was in the same class as the male protagonist. She had accidentally fallen on top of the male protagonist during PE class.

The male protagonist also has a white moonlight^[3]unforgettable first love named Chen Cha, however, he didn’t confess to her and just watched her silently from a distance.

Could it be that she had stylishly transmigrated into the novel?

“Xiao Cha, what do you think we should do?” The girl with yellow eyeshadow tapped on the table and looked at Chacha.

Chacha looked at her and said, “Call me by my full name.”

She couldn’t stand two people she’s not even familiar with calling her so intimately.

“Huh? What’s wrong with you?” The girl with yellow eyeshadow looked perplexed. She saw Chen Cha’s pale complexion, but it appeared like she had no intention to explain and that she wouldn’t soften her attitude, thus she could only say, “Fine, fine, Student Chen Cha, how do you plan on teaching that little slut, Ning An, a lesson?”

Sure enough, her surname was indeed Chen.

Chacha crossed her hands together and placed them in front of her lips. Her eyes narrowed as she realized that things weren’t simple at all.

If it was true that she had transmigrated into the novel, then she had become the number one villainess, someone who was once the male protagonist’s white moonlight. Later on, she would do all sorts of evil things. She would bully the female protagonist and be overturned by her various halos, making the male protagonist realized that he’d been blind all this time.

However, the author might be particularly fond of this villainess.

While she was the dumbest of all the villains, she was also the luckiest, surviving until the end.

However, her outcome was extremely tragic. Her family was destroyed, her reputation was ruined, her face was disfigured and she was filmed while being violated.

“How about we find a few punks to take advantage of Ning An? She will definitely transfer to another school in tears.” The girl who was painting her nails was done so she also joined on thinking of a way to bully the female protagonist.

After Chacha was done contemplating, she stood up and said, “Forget it. We’re all schoolmates. Besides, it’s alright if Jiao Yushi truly likes Ning An. As for love, both sides have to be willing.”

When the two heard Jiao Yushi’s name, they didn’t object, further verifying that she had indeed transmigrated into the novel.

The two plastic sisters looked at Chen Cha in shock, wondering how she could be so generous and open-minded today, as if she was a different person.

Chacha chuckled. “We’re almost adults, so stop being so childish. I’m leaving first.”

She had a good memory and having just read the novel, it was still fresh in her mind. This plot was right at the beginning.

The female protagonist transferred to another school in the first semester of her third year of high school and it was now the second semester. The female protagonist had already caught the attention of the male protagonist and Chen Cha had also started looking for trouble. Her reputation right now was already a bit bad.

However, due to her involvement with the male protagonist, the female protagonist had attracted the hatred of a large number of girls in the school.

Not only did Chen Cha tried to give the female protagonist trouble and repeatedly provoked her, the other girls also mocked the female protagonist whenever they saw her.

At the beginning, the villainess trio which include Chen Cha, gathered in a coffee shop to discuss how to mess with the female protagonist. Eventually, they decided to stop the female protagonist after classes and bully her.

But all this had nothing to do with her.

In truth, Chen Cha was actually a rich second generation.

In this world, Chen Cha’s father had money but unfaithful, ruthless and selfish, her mother was a shrew, mean and snobbish, his father’s mistress loves to cry about how she couldn’t eat rabbits^[4]a meme from the movie 《Women Who Flirt》; acting pretentious, her illegitimate younger brother was very scheming and only knew how to play tricks every day, and her friends were all plastic sisters.

However, she was originally a child of a super wealthy family. When she was little, Mother Chen saw that her daughter looked exactly like her, so she switched the two of them. She wasn’t Mother Chen’s biological child so Mother Chen naturally wouldn’t treat her as good.

Chen Cha was clueless about this and acted proud as if she’s some kind of deity. She knew that the aloof male protagonist was interested in her. However, she only used him as a backup, thinking that she could meet a better man after she went to university. If not, the she’d just install the spare tire male protagonist on the car.

But once the female protagonist appeared, she started to panic.

She began thinking that the not-so-good-tempered male protagonist looked really handsome, that it would actually be nice to be with him, and that he’s one in a million.

She lowered her posture and approached the male protagonist. At the same time, she didn’t miss the task of bullying the female protagonist. Her plastic sisters gave her all sorts of bad ideas and she foolishly listened to them.

In the end, the gains outweighed the losses. She would lose everything and would end up with a tragic outcome.

The worst thing was that she didn’t even know that she’s originally a child of a super wealthy family to the end.

Although unloved by her fake parents and would be very miserable in the later stage, as far as Chen Cha’s current life was concerned, she still had a lot more money on hand than the average person and was living well enough that she wouldn’t have to worry about money for the next few years.

Afterwards, if Chacha found a chance to be reunited with her biological parents, her life would be even more comfortable. Why would she go along with the plot?

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to live a happy life as a second-generation rich kid?

Once Chacha was done speaking, she headed for the door.

The two plastic sisters stared at her back, both bewildered.

Normally, Chen Cha would have long been furious by now.

They would propose various ways to bully people and she would stupidly take the lead in taking action.

Chacha hailed a taxi and told the driver the name of her school. She then spent the whole afternoon at campus.

After school, she was thinking about finding a good restaurant to have a sumptuous meal.

She hadn’t been out of the school grounds for long and was still thinking about what to eat when her vision suddenly went white.

She still had a sense of awareness.

The next second, her vision returned, and she saw the bright interior of the cafe, the girl with painted nails, and the girl with yellow eyeshadow once again.

It turned out that if she didn’t follow the plot, the story would rewind back?

What a pain.

However, judging from the current situation, the reason for the rewind was due to her not following the plot. Moreover, it shouldn’t be calculated in hours or days, but rather plot points.

It was after one o’clock in the afternoon when she came to at the cafe and she spent time at school until about five o’clock. Only four hours had passed, which wasn’t enough for a day nor was it a round number like ten hours.

Of course, this was just her current guess.

The most troublesome thing wasn’t the problem of time rewinding, it was no issue to her at all. How many people in this world could experience this fantastical phenomenon?

It’s kind of interesting.

The trouble was, she didn’t know if there was a limit to the number of rewinds.

If so, how many times could it happen?

If she runs out of chances, what punishment would she receive?

These were things that were difficult to determine. Moreover, there was also the possibility that she could die, which was really ruthless.

〖Hello, Miss Chen Cha, your guess is correct. The rewind does rely on plot points to determine its exact time.〗 Suddenly, a clear child-like voice sounded.

Chacha was startled and she looked around, but saw no children.

〖I exist in your mind and you can’t see me. Also, only you can hear me.〗

Chacha suddenly realized and thought to herself, ‘A system?’

〖That’s right.〗 The system continued, 〖Also, let me tell you one more thing. There’s no limit to the rewind and it can be done as many times as you like. However, every other three times, you will be sent to a dark room. The first time will be one day, the second time will be two days, the third time will be three days…… and so on.〗

After remaining still for a moment, Chacha asked in her mind, ‘When did you get on my head? What’s your purpose? Do I need to do tasks? If so, what reward will I receive?’

〖I was here when you arrived at this world. My purpose is to stay and communicate with you, and put you in the black room after you went back three times. You have no tasks and you can live freely.〗

Chacha sneered, ‘Yes, but I have to follow the plot, right? Otherwise, I’ll be locked in a dark room. The first few times is still fine, but it will accumulate overtime, and the hours one has to spend inside will increase. By then, no matter who, they will surely go crazy and be forced to follow the plot. Really calculating.’

The system was silent.

Chacha calmed down a bit and asked, ‘Why me? I have no outstanding characteristics nor am I dead, sick, or short of money, so why did you bring me here?’

〖The Chen Cha of this world was unexpectedly reborn. She went mad and killed the female protagonist, causing the world to collapse. Also, you were randomly selected. It’s not because you have outstanding characteristics or skills.〗 The system paused for a moment, then continued, 〖In other words, it doesn’t matter who comes.〗

……This system really doesn’t know how to speak properly.

But the novel’s Chen Cha really had it rough. She was already reborn yet she still failed. When other people’s children were reborn, they want to reach the pinnacle of life. Forget that she hadn’t reached the pinnacle of her life, she didn’t even get to reunite with her real family.

The most miserable person of the year was none other than her.

〖System: Ah, sorry, my words seems to have hurt your self-esteem. Although you haven’t shown any outstanding characteristics yet, you can be selected among billions of people, which shows that you’re a very lucky person.〗

Chacha wanted to ignore it.

〖System: Lastly, let me explain to you that your best choice is to finish the plot. Because once you’ve finished it, you can choose to return to your original world and gain a huge sum of money, or stay in this world and gain all the achievements you’ve accumulated here. In order to prevent you from having a tragic ending until you’ve completed the story, the system will provide you with assistance.〗

Chacha became a little interested, ‘What kind of assistance?’

〖I can write poems, sing and read books for you so you can relieve your boredom and frustration.〗
