Running Away Hand in Hand with the Second Female Lead

Qin Juran transmigrated into an old-fashioned university campus romance novel. The original protagonist was the textbook “delicate, tragic white lotus”: pretentious, tearful drama queen, exuding allure yet utterly blind. After being bullied in turns by cannon fodder, female antagonists, and the male lead, she ends up happily ever after with the guy who only knows how to “glare coldly” throughout the entire book. What the hell. Upon waking, Qin Juran finds herself standing on a lecture hall podium. Beside her is a stunning girl in a black dress and smoky makeup, holding a letter: “Qin Juran, you claim not to like Fan Chuan, yet this love letter says otherwise?” Under the crowd’s gaze, Qin Juran smirks, snatches the letter, tears it in half, steps forward to pin the girl against the wall, and lifts her chin with a finger: “Jealous, are we?” Ruan Nan: ??? Entire Class: ??? Ruan Nan: “Qin Juran, I don’t actually like Fan Chuan. I just enjoy stealing what’s yours.” Qin Juran: “Funny. I don’t like Fan Chuan either. But I do want to steal you.” “My name is Qin Juran—’Ju’ as in scheming intentions. My name is Ruan Nan—’Nan’ as in this is too damn hard.” — When reading the original novel, Qin Juran had loathed the white lotus protagonist sharing her name, but was utterly captivated by the bold, ruthless, and fiercely charismatic “black lotus” second female lead. She’d always dreamed of the day when… “Ruan Nan, do you know what the day finally comes means?”
