Gu Jin crossed into a novel as the supporting character and best friend of the main female lead, Cheng Xin.

Cheng Xin was frequently surrounded by men of status and quality. As Gu Jin was the female lead’s dearest friend, she doesn’t mind settling for the leftover meager soup if the female lead chose to eat the meat. The two sisters believed they’d enjoy this friendship for a lifetime.

But just as she was ready to latch firmly unto Cheng Xin’s golden thigh, she discovered the body she crossed into had memories of future events beyond the novel’s plot, finding out that her marriage would end in utter failure.

The female lead, Cheng Xin who often quarreled with the male protagonist would head over to Shao Chong for comfort even though Shao Chong was married to Gu Jin. And after several incidences, Gu Jin advised Shao Chong to have a sense of propriety as her spouse but he told her not to think too much about it, claiming that he only maintained a pure friendship with Cheng Xin.

On the day Gu Jin was kidnapped, her good husband stayed by her cousin’s side and accompanied her to the hospital.

When Gu Jin transmigrated into this new world and learned of the truth, she did not wish to waste this new life as a supporting role for her cousin as the previous soul had done. She’d not live a life as a spectator in someone else’s love story. No. She would be the protagonist of her romance in this new life.

Not Willing To Be a Supporting Sidekick

The president looked silly as he laughed to himself. 'Could he have fallen in love?' Wang Tuo wondered.


Tong Lin stood up and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "You've worked hard today. You can head back to your dormitory. I'll invite you to dinner tomorrow."


Before leaving, Wang Tuo glanced back and saw the club President looking down while fiddling with his cellphone.


[There's no need for me to reward the author for the web novel. I can just invite him to dinner]


She sighed as she thought of how blessed Tong Lin was. Not only was he the club president of the literary society, but he also had many talents and all the people he was acquainted with were extraordinary.


[Well, do you want to join us for dinner?]He asked.


[Sure, but I don't know when I'll have the time]Gu Jin quickly responded.


Although he invited her to dine with the author, she couldn't help but hold a few doubts. Gu Jin sighed once again. Why did the topic shift to having dinner?


However, 'Old Man of the Mountain River' was someone with talent in writing so it wasn't a bad idea to get to know him better. Besides, after establishing their magazine, she'll need someone's help in looking over her drafts. Then wouldn't it be a good idea to latch on to his thigh in advance?


It seems that Tong Lin and the 'Old Man of the Mountain River' are well acquainted with each other, seeing that they can schedule a meal at any time.


Gu Jin made a few calculations before asking,


[I've been quite busy lately. How about we get together in five days?]


The other side paused for a bit before replying:


The takeout order was taking a while to arrive and Gu Jin's stomach was growling from hunger. To pass the time, she decided to call her brother back.


In the past, Gu Teng never took the initiative to call the original Gu Jin. However, ever since the current Gu Jin visited home, her brother seemed to have flipped a switch; since that time, Gu Teng has been sending her frequent messages on WeChat and occasionally did video calls.


Seeing that the siblings were getting along well these days, Gu Jin's mother felt bittersweet.


Meanwhile, Gu Changsheng had been eating his son's vinegar**. As a scholarly man who maintained a forthright bearing, he was embarrassed to show that he wanted to dote and spoil his daughter. [note] Eating vinegar means being sour from jealousy. [/note]


A father's love is like a mountain, even if he wasn't always good at expressing himself.


"Well, just remember to call me back," Gu Teng said in annoyance. Gu Jin could imagine the boy's knitted forehead as he frowned.


After completing his college entrance examination, Gu Teng was like a bird out of its cage; he was ready to break free and do whatever he wanted. These days, he never slept earlier than midnight.


It was past 9 pm when he had the most energy.


Gu Jin smiled in amusement. She didn't seem to care for his annoyed tone of voice. "I forgot to take my phone out of silent mode so I wasn't able to see any miscall until I decided to order takeout."


"Takeout? Why haven't you eaten yet?" Gu Teng scolded her with a frown, "You're still young and you're not eating enough. Why is that? Are you trying to lose weight?"


Without waiting for Gu Jin's reply, he continued, "With your thin appearance, you can't get married if you lose more weight. You should eat more to stay healthy. I'll make sure to take care of you in the future!"


Gu Jin pulled her cell phone away and rubbed her ears. She never imagined that her brother could be like a nagging mother.


However, she looks five points similar to their handsome father and gorgeous mother. Which part of Gu Jin could be lacking?


And besides, which person would try to lose weight when he or she is eating late at night?
