Chapter 1: Stealing the Original Female Lead's Cheat Code
The Xia family.
"Are you serious? You really want to marry me?"
Xia Jianyong asked again in disbelief, unable to believe that the person who had just been so adamant about not marrying him had now agreed.
What he didn't know was that just as they were pressuring her, Xia Yuhuan in front of him had already changed her soul.
Today, Xia Yuhuan is a medical genius from the 23rd century who has won numerous international medical honors at the young age of twenty.
She was assassinated on her way to the lab and unexpectedly transmigrated into a novel about real and fake heiresses from the 1970s, becoming the cannon fodder real heiress in the book.
The original owner of this body shared the same name as her, Xia Yuhuan.
She was lost at the age of three and was not found until 1974, when she was eighteen. However, she was asked to marry Chi Yanzhou, who was seriously injured and unconscious, in place of her adopted daughter Xia Zhuyu.
Xia Zhuyu is the female protagonist of this historical novel.
The original owner's mother, Xia Qingqing, was unable to accept the original owner's disappearance and fell ill from grief. Xia Jianyong was afraid that she would have something bad to do because of her excessive grief, so the following year he adopted Xia Zhuyu to help her relieve her worries.
Xia Qingqing disliked Xia Zhuyu and was focused on finding the original owner of the body. In the end, she died unexpectedly in an accident while searching for her daughter.
Xia Yuhuan, who had transmigrated, knew that the original owner's disappearance was not an accident, but rather something orchestrated by Xia Jianyong.
Xia Zhuyu was not his adopted child, but his illegitimate daughter.
Not long after Xia Qingqing's death, Xia Jianyong married his mistress, and the family of three was reunited.
The death of the original owner's biological mother, Xia Qingqing, was also shrouded in mystery.
The author didn't make this point clear, but Xia Yuhuan had already taken note of it.
If the original owner's biological mother was indeed murdered, and she took over the body of another woman's daughter, she would definitely seek revenge for her.
The original owner was forced to marry Chi Yanzhou, and after living as a widow for two years, the man died of organ failure.
She returned to her parents' home, only to be tricked into sleeping with a high-ranking old man. Unable to bear the humiliation, the original owner jumped from a high-rise building.
After figuring out the storyline, Xia Yuhuan was furious.
Is this a case of taking advantage of honest people?
The original owner was a coward, but she is not. Let's see how she deals with the original owner's scumbag father and his family!
She won't let her cheating father, her stepsister who's about the same age as her, or her stepmother who took the place of the original owner's birth mother go!
She will make them pay the price to repay the debt of borrowing the original owner's body.
Marrying Chi Yanzhou and leaving the Xia family was her first step.
“Yes, but I have a condition: you have to promise me you’ll marry me,” Xia Yuhuan said immediately.
Xia Jianyong: "What are your conditions?"
"First, I want ten thousand yuan."
"Secondly, I want to take my mother's belongings with me."
"Third, I want to sever ties with you by publishing a notice in the newspaper."
Upon hearing this, Xia Jianyong's expression immediately changed: "This won't do, absolutely not."
The reason he went to great lengths to bring Xia Yuhuan home to marry in place of Xia Zhuyu was not only because he couldn't bear to see Xia Zhuyu marry into a life of widowhood, but also because he wanted to continue being related to the Chi family through marriage.
The Chi family is large and powerful; only by maintaining a kinship with the Chi family can he profit.
If he breaks off ties with Xia Yuhuan, he won't gain any benefit whatsoever.
"At least two of the three conditions must be met, otherwise there's no point in discussing it," Xia Yuhuan said.
Xia Jianyong frowned, his eyes shifting.
Xia Yuhuan warned, "I advise you not to have any ulterior motives. Even if you kidnap me and marry me off, as long as you can't stay by my side every day, I will eventually gain my freedom. When that happens, I will make things even more difficult for you."
"As long as you agree to my conditions, I'm willing to marry into your family and help you stabilize the Chi family. Isn't that much easier than forcing me?"
Xia Jianyong's expression kept changing before he finally replied, "Okay, I agree to the first two, but I don't have ten thousand, at most a thousand. Hey... where are you going?"
"Go to the Chi family to annul the engagement," Xia Yuhuan said without turning her head.
You think you can get rid of her with a thousand dollars? No way.
Xia Jianyong gritted his teeth: "Come back, and we'll discuss this again!"
In the end, the two argued back and forth until they were red in the face, and finally settled on a price of six thousand six hundred and sixty-six.
Xia Yuhuan said: "It's for the sake of celebration."
She forced Xia Jianyong to give her the money on the spot, and Xia Jianyong had no choice but to give it to her. Afterwards, Xia Jianyong found Xia Qingqing's belongings and gave them to her.
Xia Yuhuan flipped through them and confirmed that they were indeed Xia Qingqing's belongings, but they were all worthless.
They pocketed all the valuables.
She looked up and her gaze fell on Xia Zhuyu.
Xia Zhuyu was extremely dissatisfied with Xia Yuhuan's demand for more than six thousand yuan. Seeing her looking over, she gently said with a smile, "Sister, you won't accept the gifts but then want to go back on your word and make me marry into the family, will you?"
"Xia Yuhuan, don't go too far!" Xia Jianyong immediately gritted his teeth.
Xia Yuhuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm a man of my word, I never go back on my promise."
Then, she strode towards Xia Zhuyu, reached out, and yanked the jade pendant hanging around Xia's neck off.
"Ouch, it hurts..." Xia Zhuyu cried out in pain, her eyes filled with tears.
She saw the jade pendant clutched in Xia Yuhuan's hand and lunged to snatch it.
At that moment, she felt a strange sense of panic.
It was as if her life would be completely altered if she lost this jade pendant.
"Give me back my things."
Xia Yuhuan reached out and pinched her shoulder, while raising the jade pendant high with her other hand.
She smiled faintly: "Dad just promised to give me all of Mom's belongings. These are also Mom's belongings. Do you want to go back on your word?"
Xia Jianyong sensed the threat in her words, and his face darkened.
In the end, all he could do was persuade Xia Zhuyu: "Zhuzhu, give this jade pendant to her, and Dad will give you an even better one later."
Xia Zhuyu panicked when she saw Xia Jianyong compromise.
"I don't want anything else, Dad. I just want this piece. I don't want anything else. Dad, please help me get it back."
Xia Zhuyu's tears this time were genuine.
Seeing this, Xia Yuhuan couldn't help but click her tongue in her heart: As expected of the female lead, she really has a halo around her, and there is a sense of her presence in the dark.
That's right, Xia Yuhuan insisted on snatching this jade pendant not only because it was the original owner's mother's keepsake, but also because it was a cheat code, the female lead Xia Zhuyu's personal space.
Since the space hasn't been claimed by any owner yet, she naturally wants to seize it and claim it for herself.
Ignoring Xia Zhuyu's heart-wrenching cries, Xia Yuhuan turned and went upstairs.
Back in her room, Xia Yuhuan found a knife, cut her finger, and dripped blood onto the jade pendant, thus recognizing it as her own.
Immediately, Xia Yuhuan felt her consciousness waver, and the next moment she appeared in an unfamiliar space.
The moment Xia Yuhuan appeared in the space, Xia Zhuyu downstairs turned deathly pale and almost fainted.
Just now, she felt as if something had been completely ripped out of her body.
This feeling caused her immense heartache and filled her with fear and unease.
"Dad, are we really just going to let Xia Yuhuan control us like this?" Xia Zhuyu asked angrily.
