A crisp sound, and the egg cracked open on cue.
A nimble little paw peeled away the hard eggshell, revealing the tender flesh inside. The plump baby dressed in a red jacket opened her small mouth and howled, trying to stuff the entire egg into her mouth for a forceful gulp, but she was unsuccessful.
"Sister, you can't eat an egg , you'll choke." A pair of slightly rough but clean little hands reached in front of the little mouth preparing to swallow the egg and took the egg away.
The chubby baby looked up at the person snatching food from the cat's mouth, about to resist with her little brows furrowed, when she saw the rough little hands break open the egg and bring it to her lips, cajoling her with a coaxing tone, "Sister, eat."
She leaned in with her little mouth and swallowed it in one gulp. While smacking her lips, she casually glanced at the human child feeding her, her little brows knitting into a small lump.
After sorting through these past days, she had come to understand her current situation clearly.
After choking to death on a chicken leg—of course, she refused to admit she had been caught stealing food and met her demise at the hands of fate—she had transmigrated into a book. A book where the world ultimately perished after the male supporting lead turned dark due to unrequited love for the female lead.
However, she was not the unrequited female lead, but rather the villainous female supporting character everyone despised and wished to quickly dispose of in the eyes of the female lead, male lead, and the male supporting lead!
The book she had transmigrated into was titled "Doting Eighties." The male protagonist was the high-ranking official's son Xiu Xun, the female protagonist was the destitute but self-reliant pure beauty Wa Yiting, and she was the malevolent female rival Ruan Jiaojiao.
The trio was from the same village, essentially growing up together as childhood friends.
Out of the three, Ruan Jiaojiao had the best background, being the only female child in the Ruan Family for a century, she was doted on to death by everyone in the family, truly pampered and loved by all.
The female protagonist, Wa Yiting, had a rather pitiful background. Orphaned at a young age, she was raised by an uncle who didn't care for her and endured much hardship. It wasn't until she grew up and encountered the male lead that her life took a turn for the better, reaching the pinnacle of her career, and eventually capturing not only the male lead but also the infatuation of numerous other male characters.
Xiu Xun's background wasn't much better than hers; he had been trafficked into the village. Initially, the family that bought him treated him well, but after they had their own child, they started to work him like an ox. It was only after a fortunate coincidence when he got older that he was reclaimed by his high-ranking official family.
The three had a good relationship when they were young, but things changed after the male lead was recognized by his real family and the trio met again.
The Ruan Family became wealthy in the early nineties, and with her beauty and wealth, Ruan Jiaojiao became the epitome of a rich and beautiful woman.
At a gathering, she interacted with the male lead, a high-ranking official's son, and under the matchmaking efforts of their elders, Ruan Jiaojiao, who already had a favorable impression of Xiu Xun, quickly fell in love with him.
Although Xiu Xun never explicitly reciprocated, he also didn't discourage the match-making attempts of their parents.
The two swiftly progressed to the stage of engagement.
However, just as they were about to get engaged, Xiu Xun was reunited with the female lead, Wa Yiting, through Ruan Jiaojiao. As they grew closer, they fell deeply in love and composed a heart-wrenching love story, only to realize they were deeply in love with each other, and so they callously abandoned the female rival, Ruan Jiaojiao.
Having been spoiled from childhood, Ruan Jiaojiao certainly couldn't stand being treated this way. In her attempts to split the two apart, she committed many vile deeds, and in the end, she was exterminated by the male lead, who was also deeply in love with Wa Yiting... and her actions even led to the ruin and death of the entire Ruan Family.
