After offending the universally adored heroine, my life became a living hell.
The school bully male lead rallied the entire school to isolate me. The devoted second male lead got me fired from my part-time jobs and stripped of my scholarship. The sinister villain pretended to approach me, planning to seduce and dump me just to vent the heroine's anger.
Sophie Lotus smiled, her expression innocent yet cruel: "Kneel down and kowtow to me, then crawl around the field like a dog three times. "I'll tell them to let you go. How about it?"
Meanwhile, my phone wouldn't stop buzzing with notifications.
[Be good, agree to be with me.] [No one will bully you ever again.] [Baby, don't work those jobs anymore.] [Let me take care of you, okay?] [Does the puppy like his new collar... Master?]

I am the disposable cannon fodder in a story where everyone loves the heroine.
Unfortunately for her, I'm prettier and smarter.
So, when I ranked first in the entire school again, Sophie cornered me in the bathroom.
She smiled sweetly, slapped herself twice, and mouthed silently: "Are you ready for your punishment?"
The next second, the school bully, Lucas Stone, burst in.
Sophie wiped her tears and threw herself into his arms.
Lucas comforted her gently. But when his gaze fell on me, it was ice-cold.
He didn't say a word to me. No threats, no insults.
But a few hours later, I learned the consequences of messing with Sophie Lotus.
