I do agree that the premise for this series is pretty much the exact same as From Sidekick to Bigshot, but it is not the first time that stories with very similar openings and plots have appeared on Webnovel. While My Wife Slaps People in the Face Online Daily is not a complete copy, it is still very similar to Ma'am You've Been Uncovered. We also have Reincarnation Businesswoman: Miraculous Hand Space Hunting the Major which has quite a lot of similarities with Reincarnation of the Business Woman at School. Not to mention the ones that all start with a one-night-stand due to various drugs or get entangled with the ML for other reasons. I feel that the reason we notice this similarity much more clearly than the other novels is that the setup is rather unique and that the first few chapters really are way too similar, however, like the other stories, it slowly begins to float away from the novel we are familiar with, and becomes a pearl of entertainment in its own right. So, what I am trying to say with all of this is, I think that we should definitely work hard to allow for this story to get released. Only by continuing to read it will we know if it is truly a case of plagiarism. Also, keep in mind that the trial reads all are translations from novels that can be found in Qidian's stock of contracted novels, so both From Sidekick to Bigshot and The Side Character's Hidden Boss! are contracted with Qidian. For now, we are not certain which one of these books was written before the other (as their original language, I would assume, is Chinese, and we only got access to the translation without knowing the title of the original story. For all we know, this story might even be written before From Sidekick to Big Shot). Also, if an author finds another story that seems to have stolen their work, they are usually able to contact their content editors, which makes it rather seriously, so based on these thoughts, I am positive about the future of this story, and believe that it is definitely worth the effort to support!

The Big-Shot is Pampered after She Becomes the Villainness

Shi Man was the best special agent in the organization, and she was supposed to retire in peace, but they came after her to purge her anyway. She died exhausted after turning the tables against the organization's agents... but was reborn, transmigrating into a book as its villainess! The villainess's family is rich and powerful. Being the only daughter, her mother and brothers would pamper her out of control, and she was engaged to the male lead at birth. Yet, the body's original owner messed up big-time despite being dealt the perfect hand. She harassed the female lead to win the male lead's attention and affection until she eventually incensed the male lead. He threw her into the colosseum ring, where she was torn to pieces. Her family naturally went all out to avenge her and ended up suffering multiple casualties as they fell into desperate straits...On the other hand, when Shi Man reincarnated, she told the male lead that they should go their separate ways and pretend they never knew each other even if they met again. She even paid the female lead with emotional duress compensation and told her they had nothing to do with each other from then on. However, after parting ways with them and preparing to begin a new life, the male lead regretted his choice and started wooing her. The supporting male characters who were never interested in her also had a sudden change of heart, and even the female lead was now offering to be her follower! Staring at the mob flocking around Shi Man, the Shi family was furious. "She belongs to our family! Stay away!"
