# Cheerful Underclassman x Sunny Yet Melancholic Senior: A Villainous Side Character's Fight to Rewrite Her Fate
One day, Emerald Sheng finds a novel that appears out of nowhere-and in its pages, she uncovers her predetermined destiny: she is not an independent person in the real world, but a villainous side character in this romance novel, existing solely to highlight the "tortured, profound love" between the male and female leads.
The female lead is her dearest friend, someone she's grown up with since childhood and shares a deep bond with. The male lead? A distant relative of her friend, a stranger Emerald has never met. Yet the novel maps out her dark path: she will develop an obsessive love for him, a feeling that will destroy her friendship. She'll sabotage their dates, spread malicious rumors to drive them apart, and even use her family's connections to block their relationship-becoming a ruthless obstacle to their love. In the end, the couple will overcome her schemes and find happiness amid blessings, while Emerald pays a terrible price: her family collapses, everyone betrays her, and she dies alone in a sudden car crash, with no proper goodbye.
When she closes the book, a chill lingers in Emerald's fingers, but she doesn't drown in fear. Now that she knows her supposed ending, she's determined never to repeat the novel's tragedy.
As she steers clear of the main couple's storyline, Emerald stumbles on another character pushed to the novel's margins: the mysterious, powerful figure who secretly aids the male lead-none other than the famous senior from her school.
But Emerald has never been one to wait for disaster. Compared to the male lead's fake tenderness, the senior's "unfeeling" clarity sparks her interest. "Instead of being trapped in my fated tragedy," she thinks, "I'll try to break free. The main couple's story isn't mine. This senior... he might be worth getting to know."
