Chapter 1 Oops, I'm breaking down!
A note at the beginning: The male protagonist's mind-reading abilities are marked with symbols [..] in the book. Some readers mentioned they weren't very clear on them, so I made some adjustments. Thank you so much for clicking in to see Wen Jing and Song Nian'an in my little world. Finally, I hope you enjoy reading my book! Love you all!
"Song Nian'an, you shameless slut who seduced someone else's boyfriend!"
In the opulent banquet hall on the top floor of the hotel, a voice filled with hatred and gritted teeth suddenly echoed through the hall, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
Then, with another "splash," a glass of red wine was poured onto the boy in the center of her vision.
The crimson wine stains slid down the boy's delicate cheeks, across his upturned nose, and landed on his pink lips, making him look pitiful and causing many men present to have wicked thoughts.
But no one stepped forward to speak up for him; they were all waiting to see a good show.
"Are you sick?"
Finally, the boy who had been silent spoke, his voice weak but filled with undisguised sarcasm.
"What did you say?!" Shen Zhuangyue never expected that this seemingly bullied boy would speak. She thought she had misheard and was stunned for a moment.
"I said," Song Nian'an looked up, casually picking up a glass of red wine from the table, "Go get treatment if you're sick, don't force me to slap you!"
With another "splash," Song Nian'an picked up the red wine from the waiter's hand and poured it over the head of the woman who had suddenly appeared.
The splash was executed with great skill, landing perfectly on Shen Zhuangyue's face. The impact was so strong that even her fluttering false eyelashes fell onto her face, making her look extremely comical.
Both of them were covered in wine stains, but the visual impact was completely different – one was heaven, the other earth.
"Ah! Song Nian'an, you bastard!"
Shen Zhuangyue finally realized what was happening and was surprised that the other party would fight back. She rushed forward to argue again, but was pulled back by the man next to her.
The man had a gentle expression on his face. He turned to Song Nian'an and apologized, "I'm sorry, Nian'an, don't be angry. Zhuang Yue didn't mean it."
Song Nian'an didn't even glance at the two of them. There wasn't a big reason for it; she was just a little unaccustomed to being transmigrated into the book.
That's right, he transmigrated into the book.
The moment he transmigrated, his dazed mind was jolted awake by the crazed woman splashing water on him.
He's not the type to take things lying down. If you splash me, no matter the situation, he absolutely won't let it go unpunished; he'll splash you back.
That's how the scene just now came about.
Upon hearing the man call the woman Zhuang Yue, Song Nian'an immediately realized what was going on—he had transmigrated into a melodramatic romance novel he had been reading idly the night before.
This banquet is the first battle that the original novel's heroine, Shen Zhuangyue, will take as she steps into the entertainment industry, using the "corpse" of cannon fodder, namely Song Nian'an, as a stepping stone.
When Song Nian'an was reading the book, he couldn't help but curse loudly because of the ridiculous and absurd plot.
In the original book, Shen Zhuangyue's boyfriend, Fang Ming, saw that Song Nian'an was good-looking at a business gathering and wanted to take advantage of her. After being rejected, he failed several times and Shen Zhuangyue even caught him red-handed.
Shen Zhuangyue is a rising star in the entertainment industry. She has a strong personality and her established persona is quite convincing. However, with her aggressive and shrewish attitude of attacking and scolding anyone, she wouldn't last more than three days in the entertainment industry.
But since she's the female lead, she's willful and bravely storms into the banquet hall, claiming she's there to catch her husband cheating in front of everyone. This not only vents her anger but also catches the eye of a well-known director in the industry, who invites her to star in a movie that later becomes a box office hit, propelling her to stardom.
That was absolutely outrageous, like a mother opening a door for something outrageous!
The original owner, Song Nian'an, had a terrible experience. He was unjustly labeled as a male mistress, his video was uploaded online, and his family background was exposed. He was also a weak-willed person, and was ultimately driven to suicide by cyberbullying.
Having sorted out his thoughts, Song Nian'an was still a little confused by the sudden transmigration into the book, but he chose to accept his fate and deal with the adulterous couple first, and deal with the rest later.
If you want him to be cannon fodder, you have to be prepared to refrain from attacking unless attacked first.
"Song Nian'an! You interfered in someone else's relationship and became a mistress, and you still have the nerve to say that? Have you no shame!"
Shen Zhuangyue broke free from the man's restraints and pointed at Song Nian'an, accusing him repeatedly.
Song Nian'an was uncomfortable from her loud voice. She rubbed her ears elegantly and casually. Her neat white shirt was stained with wine and clung tightly to her chest, revealing her fair skin underneath, which kept attracting attention.
“Everything requires evidence. Miss Shen accused me of interfering in your relationship out of nowhere. If I were to say that Miss Shen was warming the bed for the young director, would that also be considered true?”
Song Nian'an's attitude was lukewarm, but his short sentence left Shen Zhuangyue both shocked and stunned, unable to react for a long time. How did he know...?
This statement also caused whispers among the onlookers. The initial sympathetic glances were all shocked by this earth-shattering gossip, and everyone watched this good show with envy.
His mistress is fake, but it's true that Shen Zhuangyue was kept by a sugar daddy before she became famous in order to get resources.
Song Nian'an valued efficiency and didn't want to waste time. He simply took out the original owner's phone and unlocked it with facial recognition. The original owner didn't have many contacts in his text messages, so he found the information after a few quick flips.
"Nian'an baby, I miss you so much. Do you know what my flaw is? It's that I'm missing you."
“It’s okay if you ignore me, Nian’an baby, but the greatest happiness in my life is meeting you. I will hold on to you and love you.”
"Does your not replying mean you like me because you're shy? It's okay, I can wait."
“... ..."
Next, Song Nian'an read out four or five more messages, all of them incredibly cheesy and corny pickup lines. The original owner of this body rejected them all, but to no avail.
The more he read out, the darker the face of the seemingly refined man beside Shen Zhuangyue grew. Finally, unable to save face, he shouted, "Shut up!"
"Oh dear, you've already broken through."
Song Nian'an, like a wicked child who had succeeded in his scheme, wore a wicked smile. "Look, these are all the messages that Mr. Fang sent me day and night. It's a pity, I've always been afraid of oil and can't stand this."
"This woman is so furious that she immediately accused me of being a mistress. Look at my face, and then look at the text messages she sent. Even if you're blind, do you think I'm blind?"
As he spoke, Song Nian'an generously showed a close-up of the screen full of unanswered green text messages on his phone to the media camera, demonstrating his clear logic and articulation.
But he had to clarify that this was a matter of whether he could survive in the book.
Looking at Song Nian'an, who seemed to have become a completely different person, Shen Zhuangyue was even more shocked than if she had seen a ghost. Was this still the same Song Nian'an who was socially awkward and weak when faced with problems?
But the rising whispers and disdainful glances around her made this young lady from a prestigious family experience for the first time what it meant to be humiliated. Not only did she fail to impress him, but she was also secretly mocked for her lack of taste. Now, Shen Zhuangyue was too ashamed to even lift her head.
After glaring at Song Nian'an, Shen Zhuangyue finally couldn't stand it any longer and stormed off in her high heels.
Song Nian'an stretched his muscles and bones, feeling extremely comfortable after winning a battle.
"Song Nian'an!" The refined mask of the man surnamed Fang shattered. He had just been hypocritically comforting her, and shamelessly tried to step forward to say something, but Song Nian'an easily dodged him.
Song Nian'an looked at him with disdain and said sarcastically, "Mr. Fang, I have absolutely nothing to do with you. It's your romantic entanglements that have gotten me into this mess. Please stay away from me in the future. I don't want to get slapped by your random girlfriends next time."
Fang Ming knew that Song Nian'an had always tried to get close to him because he knew Song Nian'an wouldn't dare to refuse in the past. He had never seen Song Nian'an so bold and contemptuous before. His anger was fueled and burned higher and higher, but he couldn't show it now. He could only leave behind a threat that was neither too strong nor too weak.
"Great, that's really beautiful, you just wait!"
He snorted heavily, turned around, pushed through the crowd, and left the banquet hall to chase after Shen Zhuangyue.
Song Nian'an didn't care at all. Just then, a sudden exclamation came from the crowd, "Ahhh! Young Master Wen is here! Hurry up and grab a seat to interview him!"
Young Master Wen? Wen Jing?!
The battle just now didn't elicit much of a reaction from Song Nian'an, but upon hearing this name, his doe-like eyes lit up instantly, and he let out a scream like a groundhog in his heart, even more frantic than the girls present.
Wen Jing! He's the most charming man in the book, the one he unilaterally calls his husband!
