How do you handle transmigrating into a novel as the villainous female supporting character, only to be set up by the female lead to marry her middle-aged male relative? A cacophony of voices buzzes in your ears. Closest to you are a man's frantic pleas and explanations, while further away, an angry commotion of men and women arguing echoes through the room. Lacking the strength to stand up, you take two deep breaths and prop yourself up with your hands. Just then, a woman walks in. "Cousin, I know you're unhappy about me being with your cousin, but did you really have to go this far? My uncle..." The moment you see this woman, the plot rushes back to you. The original host of this body was the brainless, vicious supporting female character in the novel. She was set up by the female lead—the woman standing right in front of you—to end up in the same bed as her uncle, the middle-aged man before you. Even though nothing actually happened between the two of you, your family would still cajole and deceive you into marrying him just to salvage your reputation. The female lead puts on a show of faux concern. "Cousin, you'd better think this through. Would you rather choose a rich heir your own age who swaps women every single day, or my uncle here, who has been an honest, upright man his whole life, has never once dated, and is still a virgin?" The woman doesn't forget to add that she worries if you pick a wealthy heir, even if you manage to keep this from him for now, he might eventually hear about today's events from someone else, subjecting you to unbearable pressure from your in-laws. Her words begin tipping the scales of your choice inside your heart.
