I Witnessed the Male Lead’s Crime

I was a rookie reporter in the social affairs department, unjustly killed. When I woke up, I had transmigrated into a novel.Ah, I was briefly thrilled, thinking I had transmigrated as the female lead in a romance fantasy.
But soon, I realized I was doomed to be a supporting character who dies in the main characters’ story. So I made plans to run away…But somehow, I ended up witnessing something I absolutely shouldn’t have.“This is over! I’m doomed!”I had witnessed the male lead committing a crime…“Shh.”The male lead pressed his index finger against his lips. My life, twisted beyond repair. Plans? Forget it. I just had to escape!
But nothing ever went according to plan.
So I made a decision.
I would make sure the male lead becomes emperor as quickly as possible and exit the stage before the female lead shows up.
This was one plan I could surely make succeed, right?
