Playing the Villainess Was Not Easy

The first day after I transmigrated, I met the male protagonist, Zac Newton, for the first time.

The woman who was my mother in this world brought Zac home, whose family had fallen from grace and whose parents had both passed away, and told me to take good care of my new godbrother from now on.

Zac was only six years old at the time, while I had just arrived in this world and had not yet recovered from the shock of waking up as a rich heiress.

As someone who appreciated good looks, the moment I saw the doll-like little boy in front of me, I flashed a friendly smile that was really just me fangirling over his looks.

Unexpectedly, this smile almost cost me my life.

Immediately, a warning about breaking character popped up in my mind. I turned my head, only to lose my balance and tumble down a flight of stairs from several floors. I almost became the shortest-lived transmigrated woman in history.

During the rescue on the operating table, something strange seemed to be forcibly inserted into my memory.

It turned out to be a Mary-Sue novel world. The female protagonist was Hannah Slate, the male protagonist was Zac, and I... was the vicious female supporting character who had bullied Zac since childhood.

The male lead, Zac, was the son of my father's best friend. He was the classic tragic, handsome, and capable protagonist—his parents were framed and died in an accident, his company was seized by his villainous relatives, and he was constantly bullied and ostracized by the Newton family. Eventually, my father took him in and raised him as his godson.

As the villainous supporting character, I bullied Zac from a young age because I was jealous of him for getting my parents' attention and affection.

After Zac met Hannah, I developed a strong possessive desire for him, which caused all sorts of trouble, and I ultimately suffered retribution for it. My family went bankrupt, and I lost everything overnight. Unable to bear the shock, I committed suicide after getting into a car, and my parents died of depression because of it.

In short, my existence was solely to force Zac from an innocent boy into a cold, domineering CEO who craved love.

I had to maintain my villainous supporting character persona, or I would face various punishments, even death. However, if I stuck to this persona, then according to the plot, my final fate was still death.

"... I'm just gonna die, huh?" I could not help but complain after understanding the situation.

"Nova Vettel, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" My mother, peeling an apple for me by the hospital bed, asked with concern.

I quickly waved my hand, habitually flashing a smile. "It's nothing."

As soon as I finished speaking, my smile froze. Now that I was playing a villainous character, I was unsure if I could smile so kindly.

However, the sharp warning about breaking character did not ring in my head. I waited anxiously for a minute, but nothing unexpected happened.

It suddenly dawned on me that my villainous character was only for Zac!

In other words, if I just avoided Zac, I could avoid both the death threat that came with breaking character and the self-destructive ending from the original story?

If I could not afford to mess with him, I could at least avoid him.

A sudden idea struck me. I was about to tell my mother that I wanted to study abroad to avoid Zac, but before I could even say it, an alarm suddenly went off in my head—a plot deviation warning.

Immediately afterward, a line of red text appeared before my eyes.
