Transmigrated into a Villainess? I’m Going to conquer the Heroine!

The next day.

It was the weekend.

After school, Tang Su headed home.

Meanwhile, Tang Yuan was still fast asleep, dreaming that a lightning bolt struck her bedroom door, scaring her awake.

When she opened her eyes, it turned out to be someone knocking on her door.

Wrapped up in her blanket, her grogginess took over, and she ignored the knocking. When the noise finally stopped, she comfortably dozed off for another half hour.

Once she got up and went downstairs, she found Tang Su glued to his phone, watching videos intently.

Her footsteps on the stairs made Tang Su look up quickly, his eyes lighting up as he shot to his feet. “Sis! You’re up? How’d you sleep?”

Tang Yuan let out a dry cold laugh. “You were the one banging on my door this morning, weren’t you?”

Tang Su’s smile froze, and his eyes widened in alarm as he scratched his head. “I was just a bit too excited…”

“I only went to school for a few days, and the world changes!”

Tang Yuan gave him a skeptical look. “Changed how? Sunny to rainy, or what?”

“No, no, not that.” Tang Su ran over to her, thrusting his phone in front of her. “Look, you’ve gone viral!”

Tang Yuan, still unaware of the seriousness of the situation, watched the video with mild interest, but her expression slowly turned severe.

After watching one video, Tang Su eagerly swiped to the next, playing another.

Tang Yuan stared at clips from last night’s game session, reposted by some random influencer. What were they saying?

Collab between Sweetheart Tang Yuan and Skyward Era?

Are Sweetheart Tang Yuan and Skyward Era dating?

Sweetheart Tang Yuan and Skyward Era are actually Tang Yuan and Jiang Zi?!

Tang Yuan wanted to pinch herself to snap out of it.

She pulled out her own phone and checked the trending topics, quickly spotting both her and Jiang Zi’s names.

Jiang Zi, Skyward Era.

Sweetheart Tang Yuan and Skyward Era, Tang Yuan and Jiang Zi.

Skyward Era’s alt account, pretending to be weak but actually a pro.

Tang Yuan and Jiang Zi themselves didn’t have massive followings, but Skyward Era’s influence was huge! The fact that Jiang Zi was now associated with Skyward Era’s persona skyrocketed her fame—enough to dominate the trending charts!

They had truly blown up.

And with the game now requiring real-name registration, the old show ‘I Must Shine’ was being dragged through the mud again.

This time, the criticism was that Tang Yuan and Jiang Zi’s dance performance had been good enough to advance, yet they were forced out by certain influential figures.

【My heart aches for Sister Jiang; the entertainment industry gave her no chance, so she had to return to her old trade.】

【I knew it—Sister Era stopped updating her game guides because she got stuck on that awful show!】

【My wife has a wife now; I’m heartbroken.】

【Rewatched last night’s livestream replay—I was smiling the whole time. My CP is the sweetest!】

【I don’t know if I should envy Tang Yuan or Jiang Zi more.】

Tang Yuan opened a social platform, searched for Skyward Era, and clicked into the profile page. The account had a staggering forty million followers, and each video had over ten million likes.

And it turned out that this Skyward Era was actually the real boss behind ‘Immortal Realm’.

Tang Yuan thought back to how she’d foolishly treated Jiang Zi as a newbie, helping her level up her new account while showing off. The embarrassment made her want to bang her head into tofu.

Everyone dies eventually, but there’s no need to die first socially!

She suddenly remembered that Skyward Era had recently appeared on her friend list—clearly, Jiang Zi had added her at some point without her realizing it, and she had even played along last night!

Beside her, Tang Su was buzzing like a little bee. “Sis, are you really dating Sister Era?”

“Sis, sis? Don’t go—tell me, I’m really curious!”

Tang Yuan ignored him, sitting at the dining table, grabbing a sandwich, and taking a bite, her expression filled with frustration.

At this time, don’t say Tang Su, even Tang Gu wouldn’t dare to provoke her, even breathing too close to her would be a death sentence.

Tang Su wisely retreated to the sofa, phone in hand.

He watched as Tang Yuan finished her breakfast, then dashed upstairs, changed clothes, and came back down with a serious expression, heading out the door.

Damn—Is she going to see Jiang Zi? This doesn’t look good.

Tang Su quickly followed her out the door, catching up to her. “Sis, where are you going?”

“To a date.” But her tone made it sound more like she was going to a confrontation.

Tang Yuan glared back at him. “Stop following me.”

“That’s not it, I was just passing by…” Tang Su’s voice grew quieter and quieter until, in the end, he silently moved to the side, putting some distance between them.

He followed her the entire way, only to watch helplessly as she drove away in her car.

Tang Su scratched his head, feeling a bit anxious. Did he accidentally upset his sister?

Tang Yuan, meanwhile, had already contacted Jiang Zi through a message, arranged a meeting spot, and invited her over.

In fact, asking Jiang Zi out was as easy as saying a single sentence, and by the time Tang Yuan arrived, she was already sitting there obediently, waiting.

They met at a café.

Tang Yuan tossed her bag onto the table and plopped down beside her. She didn’t even bother to fix the wrinkles on her pink-and-white dress, staring at Jiang Zi with a stony expression.

Jiang Zi felt a slight twinge in her heart, sensing the intensity of Tang Yuan’s anger.

Quietly, she smoothed out the folds of Tang Yuan’s dress and placed the stirred coffee in front of her. “Why were you in such a rush? Take it easy.”

“Jiang Zi.” Tang Yuan placed her hand over the coffee cup, stopping Jiang Zi’s movements. “Why did you lie to me?”

As soon as the accusation left her lips, Tang Yuan’s nose began to sting, and the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Not only did Jiang Zi hide things from her, but she even played tricks on her with a alt account!

Seeing the young girl’s eyes turn red without warning, Jiang Zi immediately grew nervous, fumbling to explain, “I didn’t mean to hide it from you, and I definitely didn’t think of you as a joke.”

Jiang Zi tentatively reached out and took the other hand Tang Yuan had tucked under the table, gently squeezing her fingers and palm.

But Tang Yuan wasn’t having any of it; she pulled her hand back. “Then why didn’t you tell me you were the Top Player? And why did you secretly stream without telling me?”

Jiang Zi lowered her gaze, her expression serious as she answered the first question, “Because the first time you invited me to play games, you sounded really happy.”

“It was also my first time experiencing the feeling of being protected, so… I didn’t come clean with you afterward. That was my mistake.”

Jiang Zi’s sincere and intense gaze when she admitted her mistake was so direct that it made Tang Yuan feel a bit flustered, and she turned away from her eyes.

Tang Yuan thought back seriously about her feelings back then. It was true, she had seen Jiang Zi as a beginner in the game. Leading Jiang Zi around had given her a sense of accomplishment, and it definitely made gaming a lot more fun.

But! If Jiang Zi had used her main account as the Top Player to play with her, her happiness would have been through the roof!

After all, who wouldn’t brag about having a pro player as a friend?

Tang Yuan propped her head up with both hands and sipped through the straw in the coffee cup that Jiang Zi had handed her.

She looked back at Jiang Zi, a proud smirk lifting her brows as she made her demand. “Next time, play with me using your main account. And when you stream, don’t hide my name.”

Her name was unique; why pay for effects if they were just going to be hidden?

The tension in Jiang Zi’s heart eased a little as she cautiously asked, “So you’re not mad anymore?”

“Well…” Tang Yuan pondered for a moment. “I thought about it, and having the Top Player carry me in-game—it’s pretty exhilarating.”

It’s like suddenly discovering that your best friend has secretly been a billionaire all along—would you really cut ties with her over that?

Especially when she’s been using that money to pamper you—when you think about it, it’s not so infuriating after all.
