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

As the only girl in the younger generation of the Jing family, Jing Ruo was treated as a precious pearl even if she wasn't blood-related.


Since she had returned from abroad, the Jing family held a welcome banquet for her alone. The venue for the gathering was at the most luxurious Jinnian Hotel in the Imperial City.


Based on the Jing family's current prestige, various male gods and emperors will be in attendance.


Gu Jin had to eat in advance. If she ate a lot at the banquet, not only will she make a laughing stock of herself, but she would also end up ruining her formal wear.


After spending over an hour getting dressed and meticulously making herself beautiful, Gu Jin pondered to her plans.


Her idea was to not show all of her true colors today. She didn't need to dress too extravagantly, as long as she doesn't make a fool of herself. Otherwise, she might bring a disaster by stealing the party host's limelight.


Gu Jin smoothed out her dress and sighed.


Mu Mingcheng's assistant had sent over a gown, along with a matching purse, shoes, and jewelry. Surely, these were worth millions of dollars.


The style he chose kept her in a low profile.


Nevertheless, she had to admit that the gown's style suited her aesthetics very well. After putting on the dress, she twirled around in front of the mirror and sighed. It was very sweet of him, but it was also a bit overbearing.


At 6 pm the sky had darkened and Gu Jin walked out of the apartment building.


Her high heel shoes clattered on the stairs as she descended. She held her white clutch while wondering what kind of mood Mu Mingcheng was in to send her a pair of 10 cm high heels.


Once she reached the foot of the stairs she saw a black car parked in front of her. Despite looking low key, the inside contained the ultimate luxury features.


Gu Jin paused and adjusted her facial expression.


As the gorgeous woman came near, driver Liu who, who was familiar with Gu Jin, stepped out of the car and held open the passenger's seat for the lady.


"Miss Gu, Mr. Mu is in a hurry. Let me see you over first, he'll be joining you later." Driver Liu spoke straightforwardly as if he didn't care how beautiful his passenger was.


"It doesn't matter," Gu Jin replied as she sat on the backseat. She looked up with a smile and said, "Pardon me Brother Liu.."


"How long have you been working for Mr. Mu?" she suddenly asked.


Driver Liu concentrated his sights on the road and replied, "It's been almost five years."


Gu Jin thought that Mu Mingcheng had only inherited the Mu family's business three years ago.


The car traveled smoothly. Since it was rush hour, the imperial capital highway was overcome with heavy traffic. Even this luxurious car, which usually gets its way around the road, can only endure the traffic at this time and go forward in a snail-like pace.


Cheng Xin soon called and said impatiently, "Little Jin, the banquet is about to start. Why haven't you arrived yet?"


"We ran into heavy traffic along the way. I'll be there in about ten minutes," Gu Jin replied after speaking with the driver.
