The male supporting character was actually myself.

The male supporting character is actually myself. (Author: Granny Qian)

Summary:

This book is also known as *108 Ways the Protagonist Dies*. Jiang Chen, who possesses a cheat-like ability, initially believes himself to be the protagonist, but... he's actually a supporting character? A supporting character? Ha, actually, I'm the protagonist's nemesis! [It's Granny Qian!]

The first choice, of course, is to forgive her!

"Did I pick up the wrong script?" Jiang Chen looked at the script in his hand again, and asked with a puzzled look.

Staying with him in the giant sphere of light was a white, fluffy kitten.

It calmly licked its paws, tucked its fluffy ears together, shook its head, and replied earnestly in a soft, childlike voice, "I didn't take the wrong one, dear."

Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Xiaobai.

I am the best male supporting character system assigned to you!

As the host, your task is very simple.

Complete the tasks assigned by the system and be the best supporting male character!

By completing all the tasks in each dimension, you will be able to gain a chance to be reborn.

Little White felt deeply sorry for the host's untimely death. Therefore... I will do my best to assist you in completing your mission and achieving rebirth!

Jiang Chen stared expressionlessly at Xiao Bai, who was clenching its fist and pumping up its energy. He patted the script in his hand and said, "According to you, even after I died, I transmigrated and still have a system and a cheat code, just to become a male supporting character?"

Take another look at this script. They dug the female lead out of a small mountain village, carefully cultivated and pampered her, just to whitewash her and send her to the male lead's bed.

She also has to help the illegitimate son male lead push his way back into the wealthy family to fight for the inheritance, only to be trampled to death and have the group swallowed up by him, standing at the pinnacle of the world and leaving an eternal name with the female lead.

Excuse me, has my brain been eaten?

"It wasn't eaten."

"Because her character is inherently brainless, just a simp." Little White kicked her hands and squatted down into a white fur ball, calmly saying, "Who told her to be the female lead, she's surrounded by a halo."

Love at first sight, brainwashing tactics, shifting blame to a manipulative woman, and ruthlessness are all basic tactics.

From another perspective, she's a classic example of a sparrow turning into a phoenix. And how could her journey to advancement be complete without the invaluable assistance of a cannon fodder male supporting character?

Host, don't overthink it. Just focus on completing the mission.

If you fail the interdimensional mission, you will lose your chance to be reborn!

The storyline is being integrated; the host is preparing to merge into the world...

3, 2, 1, let's go!

The light curtain disappeared, and Jiang Chen found himself standing at the entrance of a prestigious university.

Standing opposite them were the tearful heroine, Du Xinyu, and behind her, the tall, handsome, and simply dressed male lead, Su Li.

In the bustling scene of students leaving school, two boys and a girl stood out.

It's like the classic scenario where a rich young master bullies a couple in love and belittles a student from a poor family, only to be slapped in the face.

"Brother Chen, I'm so sorry, let's break up." Du Xinyu's face was still wet with tears, her voice filled with grievance, "Xin'er... Xin'er can't go against her heart no matter what, Xin'er really loves Ali. I'm sorry..."

Her innocent, large eyes were filled with tears, and her long eyelashes cast long shadows, making her delicate figure instantly evoke a desire to protect her.

Du Xinyu sobbed softly, wiping away tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, and said firmly, "Brother Chen, please don't bother me anymore. Please forgive Xin'er for wanting to pursue true love. From now on, let's not see each other again."

Su Li frowned in pain, and was about to speak when Jiang Chen interrupted her, "How could I bear to make you sad? Then I'll grant your wish and we'll break up."

Unexpectedly, this rich young master agreed so readily, Su Li raised an eyebrow and chose to remain silent.

Du Xinyu was also stunned with surprise.

She didn't expect to get rid of this brainless simp so easily, even though he was rich and willing to spend money.

However, Su Li, who is taller, more handsome, and has more potential, must be seized in time so that he can stand by Su Li's side and share both joys and sorrows when Su Li soars to great heights.

The little white dog, perched on his shoulder, said with a relieved tone, "Congratulations, host, on completing the first mission in this world: [Of course, I choose to forgive her!] Mission reward: ten million, which has been deposited into the host's bank account."

Jiang Chen's lips curled up slightly, and he continued, lost in his memories, "I still remember the first time we met."

That was four years ago, when I hiked through the Dami Mountains.

In a small valley, they met Xin'er, who was returning home after chopping wood.

Although you look glamorous now, you were dark-skinned, thin, and covered in dirt back then, with greasy, smelly hair that you hadn't washed for years.

But those eyes remained the same—bright, beautiful, and captivating.

Du Xinyu, who had been looking aggrieved and resentful with tears streaming down her face, suddenly turned pale. What she wanted to forget most was her humble origins!

So much so that after seizing the opportunity to climb up to a rich young master, she immediately played the victim to gain sympathy, and then instigated her patriarchal parents to use 20,000 yuan to buy off their familial ties.

She hooked up with a rich man and had him completely smitten, living in a villa and enjoying treatment he could never have dreamed of!

All I wanted was a better life and to keep my tragic past from being exposed. Is it wrong to kick someone who knew about my miserable past to the curb when a better opportunity comes along?

"No... Stop talking! We've already broken up, why won't you let Xin'er go?" Du Xinyu was trembling with anger. She could feel the students watching looking at her with disdain after hearing those words.

Jiang Chen looked completely innocent. "Don't say things like that. I'm happy as long as you're happy."

I sincerely wish you both the best in pursuing true love.

Although I don't know what I did to upset you, Xin'er, don't be upset. If you say we should break up, then we should.

He turned to Su Li, whose expression was slightly embarrassed, and warned her fiercely, "Su Li, I'm entrusting Xin'er, whom I've carefully nurtured, to you. From today onwards, if you treat her even the slightest bit badly, I won't let you off the hook!"

Remember this: Ever since I brought Xin'er back to Jincheng, I've changed her name and identity. Don't look down on her!

She has a poor appetite and needs to eat bird's nest and ginseng soup every day to nourish her body.

Also, she is simple-minded and always melancholy, so I take her shopping every weekend and spend tens of thousands of yuan to cheer her up.

Travel abroad at least four times a year, stay in the presidential suite of an InterContinental hotel, and travel in a motorhome.

In addition, she receives a full-service SPA treatment at Jincheng's top beauty salon every month, otherwise her skin would revert to its original rough, dark, and reddish appearance.

Oh, and the most important point.

Xin'er never went to school when she lived in the mountain village, so her academic foundation was very poor.

I spent five million a year to buy her a place as an auditor in university, and I also hired tutors for various subjects, as well as teachers for piano, dance, physical education, and so on, to come to our home for tutoring.

If Xin'er fails the exam by graduation, she will lose the opportunity to obtain a primary level certificate of completion.

Since Xin'er doesn't want to see me again.

From now on, Su Li, you will be in charge of these matters.

Xin'er once said that she wanted to get a formal graduation certificate and take the postgraduate and doctoral entrance exams.

I can't go on with her any longer. If you can't take care of her, you're not a real man!

Du Xinyu was stunned halfway through the conversation, and the delicate expression she had been feigning on her face turned ferocious.

But this guy has such a loud voice!

His roar was clearly audible to everyone who wasn't watching, and he had become the center of attention!

"Chu Jiangchen!" she cried out angrily, "Shut up! What do you mean by saying this! Do you still want money from us?"

Jiang Chen looked panicked, like a child who had done something wrong or said something wrong, and said anxiously, "Xin'er, don't be angry, I'll transfer the money to you, okay?"

Every time you get angry, I transfer you 131452 yuan and it makes you happy. I'll transfer the money right now!

Su Li's expression visibly turned awkward, and she took a step back to distance herself slightly from Du Xinyu.

"But...but you've already broken up with me." Jiang Chen hurriedly took out her phone, her face full of disappointment. She looked up at the other person's distorted face and said in a dejected voice, "If I transfer that kind of number to you again, your new boyfriend will definitely be unhappy."

However, I am very relieved.

Xin'er has grown up and has her own ideas.

Over these four years, you've saved at least three million in your bank account, which should be enough to cover your expenses while you're together.

Remember, if this guy dares to bully you, come find me!

You heard me chatting with a friend about two weeks ago.

The news that Su Li is an illegitimate child of the Su family will spread very soon.

The Su family will probably take him back. Although his status isn't legitimate, he's still a member of the Su family, so they shouldn't be short of money. With him by your side, I... I probably don't need to worry about anything..."

After saying that, Jiang Chen dramatically put on a heartbroken expression, then walked towards the luxury car parked on the side of the road without looking back.

The little white dog, who was squatting with its hands down, looked completely bewildered. "Host, your actions were as fierce as a tiger, but why does something feel off?"

Jiang Chen opened the car door, got in, and started the car, asking in return, "How did I do on my mission?"

"Main system assessment: Completed in one second, perfect!" Little White scratched its ear with its paw, "But something still feels off..."

Chapter Two: I Can't Be a Brainless Male Supporting Character

"The main system has already rated it as perfect, and you're still not satisfied?" Jiang Chen said casually as he drove, "I'll make sure I try my best to complete every mission."

Little White scratched its head, blinked its deep blue eyes, and the last trace of doubt in its eyes disappeared without a trace. It excitedly said, "Go for it, host!"

We're pressed for time and have a heavy workload. After finishing our supporting role in this dimension, we still have to move on to the next one.

Strive to complete every task perfectly!

"Du Xinyu, you..." Su Li's face was distorted with anger. She glared at her, suppressing her rage, and, not wanting to be pointed at anymore, quickly pushed through the crowd and left.

About two weeks ago, when Su Li was reading in the library, Du Xinyu, who had a delicate and lovely appearance, took the initiative to chat with her and asked her a few questions about philosophy.

The combination of beauty and charisma instantly captivated and won him over.

The two exchanged contact information and chatted happily until late at night every day. They would even fall asleep with their phones in hand and sweet smiles on their faces.

Su Li thought she had met her true love and threw herself into the relationship.

He knew, of course, that Du Xinyu had a wealthy boyfriend, but she said she was just a plaything kept in a gilded cage, without love or true happiness.

She herself was her true love and the source of her happiness.

She was willing to rebel against Chu Jiangchen for her own sake!
