1 Hi, Original Male Lead, I've Transmigrated as a "Supporting Male Character"

What on earth? I've actually transmigrated into a book?!

This was the first sentence that came to Gu Lan's mind when she woke up in the boys' dormitory.

The second sentence was:

Why do other people transmigrate into books and become perfect villains or supporting female characters, while I end up as a guy in a boys' dormitory?!

Hmm...

Gu Lan checked her body, and nothing had changed in a certain area; she still had a female body, but seemingly in a male identity.

Lying on the dormitory bed, Gu Lan furrowed her brow and read the sudden transmigration novel plot that appeared in her mind.

The original novel was a "world where all handsome guys love the female lead," where "those who don't love the female lead are villains," and "beautiful women all love the male lead," except for the female lead, and those who love the male lead are villains, a typical campus Mary Sue novel.

In the book, Gu Lan was the male lead's roommate, born into a wealthy family, and possessed remarkable looks. She was the 102nd unrequited love supporting male character for the female lead in the novel.

Well, being called a supporting male character sounds more dignified, but in reality, it means being a cannon fodder.

The original book introduced Gu Lan in just one chapter -

Gu Lan teasing the female lead, speaking a couple of lines, and then getting brutally beaten up by the male lead, after which she returned home to recuperate.

After recovering from her injuries, she returned to the dormitory, and the male lead was driven to the terrifying Room 444 described throughout the book, like a horror story that intruded upon a campus novel.

Eventually, Gu Lan suffered a mental breakdown, went insane, and her family was ruined.

Having finished reading the entire novel, Gu Lan's emotions were complex.

This... with such a minimal presence, how could she continue to play the original character?

No personality, no actions, just like this, just like this?

Gu Lan herself possessed many characteristics of a transmigrated novel's female lead.

An orphan.

No money.

No friends.

And unlucky.

A car accident, and she died on the spot.

Now that she's transmigrated, there's nothing to worry about.

And what she used to love the most was fighting, flirting, and sleeping.

Acting was not her forte.

After thinking seriously for a long time, Gu Lan finally decided -

Let it be fate.

Anyway, the original character was just a minor supporting role; probably, no one would notice her.

If anyone did notice, she could simply claim they've gone mad for even considering such a thing, so their character changed.

If pretending to be mad doesn't work, she could just run into a wall on the spot and pretend to have amnesia...

Absolutely perfect!

The more Gu Lan thought about it, the more she felt that her exceptional intelligence was well-deserved.

At this moment, a voice, three parts cool, three parts mocking, and four parts indifferent, accompanied by the sound of the door opening, resonated.

"Hey, An Momo is my woman! Dare to tease her, and you're done for! Get out of this dormitory now, immediately, right away!"

Gu Lan didn't expect that this domineering young master not only had diversified emotions in his eyes but also had a resonating voice, which made her think he must have a abnormal personality.

Gu Lan blinked her eyes, deciding to counter poison with poison.

She sat up, not having seen what the male lead looked like yet, but decided to speak first.

"Excuse me, fellow student, first of all, don't call me 'hey'; I'm Gu Lan. Secondly, I didn't tease her, I'm not as blind as you are."

Xiao Hui was surprised that Gu Lan would say such things.

He had been Gu Lan's roommate for three years. Gu Lan had an outgoing personality and often got into trouble, relying on being the wealthy second generation to do as she pleased.

With a net worth in the billions, he usually kept a low profile, but this little rich second generation dared to be so arrogant in front of him, even teasing his woman?!

Momo crying like raining, he had someone beat Gu Lan up, and she escaped back to the dormitory.

Momo felt that the punishment was not enough, so this time, Xiao Hui was planning to personally punish Gu Lan and record her begging for mercy to show An Momo, reassuring her.

But he never expected that Gu Lan would mock him like an indifferent bystander?

Not just Xiao Hui, there were four other boys standing behind him, spectators to the scene, and upon hearing Gu Lan's words, they looked at her with a schadenfreude expression.

"Gu Lan, you're just all talk!"

"Tsk tsk, looks like Brother Xiao didn't go all out, otherwise, you wouldn't be able to get up."

"Everyone knows that Momo is our sister-in-law. How dare you tease her? Are you looking for trouble?"

"Since there is no one here, let's teach him a lesson!"

Gu Lan sat up on the lower bunk, eyeing the five people in the dormitory, connecting them with characters from the novel.

The one standing at the forefront was indeed the CEO-type male lead from the novel.

Tall stature, high nose bridge, sharp eyebrows, starry eyes, an icy demeanor, and an aura of confidence that could easily crush someone with a billion dollars. That kind of boss-level self-assurance was not something ordinary people could possess.

Behind him were Gu Lan's former dormitory mates and Xiao Hui's followers.

Gu Lan found it funny; in the book, she was the antagonist, but she couldn't help but feel that these guys were the ones truly deserving of a beating.

Her smirk made Xiao Hui frown tightly, knowing it was a provocation.

"You don't accept it?! Seems like what they said was right; I've been too lenient!"

As he spoke, Xiao Hui slowly unbuttoned his shirt cuffs.

"Step back, all of you. I'll deal with the men who dare to bully my woman myself. Record it with your phones to show Momo."

His followers became excited.

"Brother Xiao, you're actually going to do it yourself?!"

"Brother Xiao is a black belt in Taekwondo and rarely resorts to using his hands!"

"He truly dotes on his wife, all because of sister-in-law..."

Before the follower could finish, Gu Lan walked over and threw a hook punch at Xiao Hui, who nearly bit his tongue in shock.

Gu Lan was also exasperated! She didn't want to resort to violence, but the other side threatened her with video footage!

"Hey, is that all? Black belt? Sorry to disappoint you; I've trained in that too."

Though Gu Lan was not used to this body, its strength surpassed her original one, and combined with her combat skills, she felt invincible.

She lifted the corner of her lips, looking like a charming androgynous beauty with her short tan hair styled in a wolf tail, deep double eyelids, and thick, curled eyelashes.

Unfortunately, the original character, due to her arrogant and cowardly behavior, detracted from her beauty.

After transmigrating, Gu Lan wiped away the dust from the neglected pearl, revealing a different radiance. Enough of these clichéd transmigration plots, no need to dwell on that.

With one hand in her pocket, she smirked, displaying a devil-may-care and laid-back attitude, making her appear superior to the male lead, Xiao Hui.

Xiao Hui's face was in disarray, rubbing his jaw as he stared at Gu Lan with a mix of anger and surprise.

"How dare you..."

Before Xiao Hui could finish speaking, Gu Lan threw another punch, causing him to stagger backward.

His follower were dumbfounded by the sudden and unexpected turn of events.

Gu Lan was equally surprised. Was this male lead's strength off somehow? He seemed more like cannon fodder than the main character.

But it didn't matter; when you see injustice, you must act. And it's even better if the other party is easy to bully; otherwise, they'll end up bullying you, right?

With this in mind, Gu Lan lazily raised the corner of her lips, formed a V-sign with her fingers towards the camera, and said with a smile.

"Momo is your sister-in-law, right? Her best friend was being nasty about me, but I couldn't be bothered with her."

"Problem solved. I'm leaving."

With that said, Gu Lan couldn't be bothered to look at Xiao Hui and returned to her bunk, folding the blanket and rolling up the beddings.

Xiao Hui, as the overbearing male lead, couldn't tolerate this situation. His fist trembled with anger as he glared at Gu Lan's figure.

"How dare you provoke me!"

Though he said that, Xiao Hui didn't make a move. He feared that Gu Lan might strike him again in front of his followers, which would truly be a blow to his image.

They stood in a stalemate for a moment until Gu Lan finished packing up her belongings in the dormitory, carrying her rolled-up beddings, and walked towards the dormitory exit.

Xiao Hui didn't expect Gu Lan to move out of the dormitory just as they had planned before. Could it be that Gu Lan was afraid of him?

Thinking this, Xiao Hui heard Gu Lan speak.

"I suppose we've done a good job with waste sorting here. You four live together as non-recyclable waste. Bye."

Gu Lan left with an air of elegance, leaving Xiao Hui furiously pounding on the door.

"Damn it! How dare he provoke me like this! All of you, stop filming and close the door!"

"Gu Lan wants to change dormitories, huh? Fine! I'll grant him that wish! He'll be more miserable than death in the new one!"

As Gu Lan walked down the hallway, she could still hear Xiao Hui's impotent fury. She shrugged her shoulders.

"It's still quite strange to encounter a real overbearing CEO in real life."

In the original work, the main character suffered miserably in Room 444, while Gu Lan noticed that throughout the entire book, everyone in the school was influenced by the Mary Sue female lead and the overbearing male lead, except for the residents of Room 444, who remained strangely unaffected.

So she decided to join the “weirdos”.

Carrying her rolled-up beddings, Gu Lan arrived at the entrance of Room 444.

This room number was particularly inauspicious, and it seemed like no students lived on the 4th floor; the entire corridor was empty.

Gu Lan walked up to the door, intending to knock, but to her surprise, the door was not closed and creaked open with a sound.

Inside the room, a man was taking off his shirt and tossing it onto a chair.

Gu Lan's back was turned towards the entrance, allowing her to see the man's well-defined wheat-colored back, broad shoulders, narrow waist, and muscle lines that could only come from regular workouts.

There were also scars that ran almost the entire length of his back, giving Gu Lan quite a shock!

Well, this was unexpected!
