This Witch Transmigrated into the Romantic Novel's Supporting Role-Chapter 1: Wear the Book
Chapter 1
Chu Yang was a witch, but after the founding of the nation, she was not allowed to become refined, so she was just a little witch who ran an account called Prophecy Little Witch online every day.
She would make some prophecies from time to time and occasionally help netizens predict something, slowly accumulating tens of thousands of fans. She would occasionally accept some advertisements to earn some money to survive, but the money she earned, she would have to donate two-thirds of it, so she was still very poor.
Her wish was to earn enough money to buy materials and absorb enough energy for her family's crystal ball. The energy in her family's crystal ball passed down had become very thin. Every time she tried to predict something, it required a considerable amount of magical power.
Alas, it was all because she was poor.
That day, she just happened to be resting, so Chu Yang downloaded a novel, thinking of passing the boring time by reading it. After reading half of it, a customer contacted her online.
Chu Yang immediately put down the book and quickly replied to the customer.
Customer: Little witch, are you there? I want to know if my boyfriend is cheating on me. Money is not a problem!
Prophecy Little Witch: I'm here! Please tell me your name and date of birth.
Customer: My name is XXX, and my date of birth is X Year X Month X Day.
Prophecy Little Witch: Wait a moment~
After Chu Yang replied to the customer, she immediately took out her crystal ball, gently wiped the crystal ball clean, placed her hand on it, then concentrated her mind. After a while, the crystal ball started to glow, then some scenes appeared.
Chu Yang's forehead was covered in sweat. The energy in the crystal ball was becoming scarcer and scarcer, and she was having some difficulty with the prediction.
The scenes appeared for a few seconds, and suddenly a crack appeared on the crystal ball. Seeing this, Chu Yang's mind went blank for a moment, and then her magical power became chaotic!
Chu Yang spit blood onto the crystal ball, then collapsed on top of it and fainted. As she fainted, she thought that there seemed to be 20,000 yuan left in her bank card, so the medical expenses should be no problem.
However, after she fainted, the crystal ball suddenly lit up, and then she and the crystal ball both disappeared from the room.
...
Girl’s Dormitory Room 301, A University
Chu Yang looked at the person in the mirror, the one inside was definitely not her.
She originally had quite exotic looks because her grandmother was mixed-race, so she was also a quarter mixed. The crystal ball was passed down to her from her grandmother's mother's side. But this face was typical of a delicate beauty. If her eyes turned red, she would look exactly like a delicate beauty eliciting pity.
Chu Yang was stunned for a while and lowered her eyes. Then she went to wash her face first.
At this time, her roommates came back and even brought porridge for her. “Chu Yang, you're awake? Are you feeling better? We brought porridge for you.”
After Chu Yang wiped her face clean, she went to sit at the table. A girl with short hair handed her a spoon. “Eat up. You still need to take medicine later. I boiled some water for you.”
“Thanks.” That was all Chu Yang said as she took the spoon. The other three didn’t feel anything was amiss, thinking that Chu Yang was just not very spirited because she was sick.
Chu Yang drank the porridge with the side dishes and listened to her three roommates chat.
“So Gu Xiao and Li Qinglu are a couple now?”
“Really?”
“Really. It's all over the school forums already.”
“I didn’t expect Li Qinglu to keep it hidden so deeply.”
“I heard the two have known each other for a long time and their families are a good match too.”
“Alas, handsome boys really belong to someone else.”
Hearing the names Gu Xiao and Li Qinglu, Chu Yang was startled. Weren't those the names of the male and female leads in the novel "The Sweetheart Wife of the Campus Heartthrob" that she had just been reading?
That's right, there was also an extremely scheming female supporting character in the book named Chu Yang. Chu Yang came from a poor family and had a weak and pitiful delicate beauty look. She followed the main couple pretending to be innocent, while secretly trying to sabotage their relationship so she could take the female lead's place.
Later when her true face was exposed, she was scorned by everyone. Not only was she expelled from school, she eventually fell ill with no one to take care of her and died alone in a shabby hut. By the time she was discovered, her corpse was already rotten.
So she had transmigrated into the book and became that scheming female supporting character?
One of Chu Yang’s roommates saw her spacing out and thought that she used to admire Gu Xiao quite a bit. Now knowing that Gu Xiao was with Li Qinglu, she must be heartbroken. So they all started comforting her.
“Chu Yang, Gu Xiao already has a girlfriend. There are plenty of men out there. We know you usually like Senior Gu Xiao very much, but now that he already has a girlfriend, let's just give up.”
“That’s right. The streets are filled with men with two legs.”
“Yes, yes. And you're still sick. Eat up.”
Chu Yang nodded, agreeing with what they said without refuting anything about liking Gu Xiao. After all, the original Chu Yang did like Gu Xiao a lot, otherwise she wouldn't have kept bothering the main couple later.
However, now that she had transmigrated here, she didn’t care about any male or female leads. Chasing men was not as good as chasing money. Money was more reliable.
After that, Chu Yang continued drinking her porridge.
When she almost finished eating, Chu Yang thought that her current physical condition really wasn’t too good. She lay back down on the bed to continue resting. As for everything else, she’d think more about it after recovering.
Seeing her resting, the others were more quiet in their actions and said softly before leaving for afternoon classes, “Chu Yang, we’re going for class first. We’ll bring dinner back for you tonight. Rest well!”
Chu Yang waved to them. Her roommates were quite nice.
After her roommates left, Chu Yang continued to lie in bed and rest. She suddenly thought of her crystal ball—how could it crack open so nicely? Could it be because it was out of energy?
But whether it had energy or not seemed irrelevant now. She had transmigrated into the book world and lost her crystal ball.
Chu Yang flipped over and her foot suddenly kicked something. Hmm?
She sat up and threw the blanket aside. Ah ah ah! Her crystal ball had somehow come with her! This was her livelihood!
Chu Yang grabbed the crystal ball and sobbed. This was just too wonderful! She touched the cracks on the crystal ball and sighed. Cracked up, she wondered if it could still be used.
Chu Yang put the crystal ball aside and wondered if her magic power was still there. She placed her hand on the crystal ball and started channeling magic power into it. The crystal ball only lit up for an instant, and then that was it.
Chu Yang felt happy yet disappointed—happy that her magic power was still there; disappointed that the crystal ball was now pretty much useless. She would have to use expensive materials to mend it. And due to her previous injury, her current magic power was very weak, making predictions quite difficult.
Oh well, she should focus on recovering first.
That night when her roommates came back with dinner, Chu Yang sat there eating while listening to their chatter, quickly learning all three of their names before long.
The one with short hair was Jin Yang from the Literature Department, a cute girl. The one with wavy hair was Zhou Caicai from the Foreign Languages Department. The one wearing glasses was Qian Xin, also from the Foreign Languages Department. As for Chu Yang, she was also a first-year student in the Literature Department. The male and female leads were in different departments—the male lead Gu Xiao was in Finance while the female lead Li Qinglu was in Business Administration. Gu Xiao was currently the deputy chairperson of the Student Union, while Li Qinglu also intended to join the Student Union and fly high with Gu Xiao. As for how Chu Yang got to know the main couple, Gu Xiao was their senior while Chu Yang and Li Qinglu were in the same cohort. The two girls had even been in the same high school class.
After finishing her meal, Chu Yang asked Jin Yang who bought dinner for her, “How much was the porridge at noon and just now’s dinner? I’ll transfer the money to you.”
Jin Yang waved her hands. “No need. My treat.”
Chu Yang insisted on paying. A good roommate needed to draw clear boundaries. Chu Yang thought about the meal prices at her previous university. “Is 30 yuan enough? I’ll transfer 30 to you.”
Hearing Chu Yang say that, Jin Yang quickly said, “Where is 30 yuan needed? As you know, the meals at our school are cheap. Both meals just cost 18 yuan. The porridge at noon was just 5 yuan and dinner was 13 yuan.”
Chu Yang nodded and directly transferred the money to her from her phone. “I’ve transferred it to you, check to see if you received it.”
“Okay.”
This small act greatly improved how the other three felt about her. Although it was just some small change, one’s character could still be glimpsed from such acts. They were all new students after all and hadn't known each other for that long. Chu Yang had not hung out with them much previously either. They were merely doing their duty as roommates by taking care of her a little when she fell ill.
It felt like after she recovered from her illness, her whole demeanor seemed much better. Before, she always gave off the impression of a delicate little flower who felt bullied.
That night, Chu Yang lightly tallied up all of her current worldly possessions - 500 yuan in her bank account, 482 yuan and 90 mao in her WeChat wallet, and not a single mao in her Alipay account.
This body... was also a broke girl! Even more broke than her. At least she still had 20,000 yuan in her account. But this body was only a college freshman, her living expenses were all provided by her parents, so of course she didn't have any money.
Moreover, the female supporting character in the book originally came from an impoverished family background. Her family seemed to consist of a pair of parents and a younger brother. The parents were farmers, the younger brother was in middle school.
It looked like she would have to think of ways to earn money. Chu Yang pondered for a while before slowly falling asleep.
