“Mom and Dad, I’m leaving.”
After saying her goodbyes, Uyen Nhu grabbed her bag and walked out without bothering to look back. But the three people inside the house didn’t seem to pay her any attention.
She was Thai Kim Nhu, who had just transmigrated into the eponymous character in the novel "Deep Affection" that she had just finished reading.
She had been sleeping soundly in her warm bed on a stormy, rainy night when she transmigrated into this bizarre world.
What was even worse was that she had transmigrated into the hateful supporting female character, Le Uyen Nhu, which infuriated her.
When she read the novel, she absolutely loathed this character, a detestable fake who constantly interfered with the main couple.
But after transmigrating and becoming Le Uyen Nhu for a day, she began to feel a little pity for the character.
Once she understood the plot, she returned to the character's house to retrieve documents and some important belongings, but this family had always treated Le Uyen Nhu like an outsider.
The mother's lack of affection was understandable, as Uyen Nhu wasn't her biological daughter. But the father, who had an affair and conceived Uyen Nhu, also viewed her as a burden.
She couldn't grasp why the adults were the ones who made mistakes, yet the whole family vented their anger on a child.
Her older sister, Le Uyen Nhi, also detested her for the same reason.
Despite having been in this body for less than a day, Kim Nhu could already sense the immense pressure Uyen Nhu felt living in this family.
She also began to feel a little empathy for this character.
But no matter what, from now on, Thai Kim Nhu was Le Uyen Nhu.
She had to live this life well, to forge a path for Kim Nhu herself, and to give Uyen Nhu a brighter ending.
Uyen Nhu placed her belongings on her old Vision scooter and rode it back to her rented room.
Uyen Nhu was a second-year student at Ton Duc Thang University, majoring in Tourism and Travel.
Her "best friend," Tran My Kim, was also studying Business Administration at the same university.
When she read the novel, she knew that the character Uyen Nhu had taken advantage of the female lead's wealthy family and her devoted personality to swindle a considerable amount of money from her.
However, she now also knew that Le Uyen Nhu's family didn't provide her with living expenses. Her biological father, merely in name, only paid for her tuition while she attended university.
She guessed that was why Le Uyen Nhu had swindled money from My Kim.
But by the time she transmigrated, the swindling had already happened; it was too late to salvage the situation.
Uyen Nhu's family lived in the Long An area, very close to the city. However, since there were many foreign investment companies there, her sister Uyen Nhi worked in the area.
The three of them lived happily as a family, with only Uyen Nhu separated from them.
After driving for over an hour, she arrived. It was fortunate that in her original reality, she was also from Saigon, and the story's setting was also Saigon.
Aside from the unfamiliar people, the streets were just like in her reality.
She opened the door to the rented room and let out a sigh.
In her original reality, she was an orphan who struggled to make a living, yet she wouldn't dare rent a room this large.
On the other hand, Le Uyen Nhu received no financial support from her family, didn't work to earn extra money, and dared to rent such a big place solely on the female lead's money.
She truly couldn't understand this character. The Le Uyen Nhu in the novel had created a glamorous appearance and a clean background for herself to attract the male lead.
If her original reality was a hardship of one, transmigrating into this character meant she would suffer ten times as much.
Uyen Nhu took out her phone to look for more reasonably priced accommodations when she received a message from My Kim.
"Hey, let's go a bit early tomorrow!"
"Yeah, around what time?" Uyen Nhu asked back.
"Let's go at 7. My uncle is coming to school tomorrow as a guest speaker, so we should go a bit early."
Uyen Nhu sat up abruptly.
Mỹ Kim’s uncle was Trần Kiến Thành – an incredibly perfect character in the story. Despite his infrequent appearances, he garnered no fewer fangirls than the male lead, and Mỹ Kim herself was among them.
Every time Trần Kiến Thành appeared, he exuded the domineering CEO aura typical of Chinese romance novels, even though “Profound Love” was a high school romance story.
“Then Kim, you go with your uncle. I can just go to school by myself tomorrow.”
Uyển Như replied.
“No way, I’ve already told my uncle. It can’t be changed now.”
Mỹ Kim replied immediately.
Her head ached as she looked at the message. With such a good friend, the character Lê Uyển Như truly didn’t know how to appreciate it.
In the story, it was written that one time Uyển Như’s car broke down, leaving her without a ride to school, so Mỹ Kim offered to take her along.
Because riding together was fun, Mỹ Kim suggested that she would pick her up for school every day from then on.
Obsessed with the glamour of it all, Lê Uyển Như immediately agreed.
Lê Uyển Như sighed. The author had truly written this character terribly; she never committed any heinous acts, but she had a hand in every single bad deed.
If the female lead ever discovered what the character had done, wouldn’t she be the one to suffer?
Yet, Lê Uyển Như’s actions always led to a Thái Kim Như coming forward to take the blame.
It wasn’t fair at all.
