After Ning Yanshu's death, Ning Wan finally ended her nearly 30-year life as a lonely ghost.
The sounds around me disappeared, and the surrounding environment vanished as well.
All the dreams began to gradually melt into the darkness.
Ning Wan stood there, stunned, unable to recover for a long time.
She thought she was an outsider, but little did she know that she was already deeply involved.
What's terrifying is that people like them are born to serve the protagonist. No one cares about their stories, and no one understands their feelings.
They couldn't even save themselves.
The one who sat in front of the computer, typing away at the keyboard, summarizing their lives with cold, hard words.
But those few brief words also encapsulate their lives...
...
Ning Wan felt so tired.
She slowly squatted down, hugged her knees, and buried her head in her arms.
It seems like they want to escape everything in this way...
...
After an unknown amount of time in the darkness, Ning Wan heard voices calling her name: "Ning Wan, Ning Wan! Wake up!"
"...Wanwan! If you don't wake up soon, Xiaoshu is really going to die!"...
...
Upon hearing the name of Xiaoshu, Ning Wan's body finally reacted.
She looked up, staring blankly at the pitch-black surroundings, her eyes vacant: "Xiao Shu... is he still alive?..."
"Live, live, live!!!" the voice urgently affirmed, "As long as you live well, the father and son will definitely be alright!"
Gradually, Ning Wan's gaze refocused, and her scattered consciousness gradually returned.
She seemed to recognize the voice: "Song Mengwan?..."
...
A crack appeared in the originally dark space.
A sliver of light faintly peeked through the crack.
The light grew brighter and brighter, forcing Ning Wan to open her eyes.
Seeing the person and the group that suddenly appeared in her house, Ning Wan blinked and repeated, "Song Mengwan?..."
"It's me!"
Song Mengwan smiled slightly, revealing eight neat teeth: "Wanwan, you've finally woken up."
How did you get here?
Isn't she also a fictional character existing in the world of novels?
"And what is that?" Ning Wan pointed to 057 next to her.
057 instantly flew into a rage: "You're the one who's a 'thing,' your whole family are 'things'!"
Song Mengwan tapped 057 on the head without ceremony, then said helplessly, "Every time Wanwan finishes a time-travel, her memories become disordered due to the passage of time. But it's okay, I can introduce myself to you again~"
Song Mengwan stood up and gracefully twirled in front of Ning Wan: "Ta-da! I am Song Mengwan, a mission taker from the Transmigration Bureau. This is the low-IQ system 057 that the Bureau assigned to me."
057's arrogant chin held high for less than a few seconds before he roared again: "You're the one with low intelligence! Your whole family has low intelligence!"
Ning Wan asked, puzzled, "What is the Transmigration Bureau? And what does 'mission taker' mean?"
Song Mengwan sat cross-legged next to Ning Wan and patiently explained, "This world is a fictional world, Wanwan should know that very well, right?"
"yes."
"In Buddhism, people use the term 'three thousand worlds' to refer to a vast world. But the world is ever-changing, and different actions can lead to different effects, which can give rise to a completely new world. This is what we often call the butterfly effect, and the same is true for the world of novels."
“Once a character in a novel changes due to a subtle action, it will affect the final ending of the story. And we transmigrators are responsible for eliminating this change and making the story go in its original direction.” Song Mengwan’s gaze was fixed on Ning Wan as she said, “And the change in this novel is you.”
"Me?" Ning Wan asked incredulously.
“Yes.” Song Mengwan nodded: “In the novel, Wanwan is portrayed as someone who lacks love and longs for it. Because she can’t get it, she becomes extreme. Later, she transfers this negative emotion onto Xiaoshu, which leads to his final fate.”
Hearing this, Ning Wan's expression turned somewhat somber.
"But later, your self-awareness awakened. You stopped expecting anything from others and chose to love yourself instead. That's good, but it also doesn't fit the author's character. To put it simply, Wanwan, you've gone out of character."
"So that's why someone suddenly appeared, took over my body, controlled my behavior, and insisted on giving birth to Xiaoshu instead of me, right?"
"Yes."
“But that’s not right either.” Ning Wan spoke up, raising a question: “I’ve seen countless ‘me’s’ who said that I’m the one who caused them to be like this… and you just mentioned ‘every time’.”
Song Mengwan admired Yu Ningwan's keen insight.
She honestly confessed, "Well, as you guessed, this isn't your first time traveling through time."
"Before I arrived, the Transmigration Bureau had sent countless mission takers to try to correct the ending of the novel that had been changed because of Ning Wan... but without exception, they all failed."
"After the first mission takeover of your body and gave birth to Xiaoshu, she was supposed to follow Ning Wan's predetermined personality and complete your destined ending. Until the first reincarnation occurred..." Song Mengwan paused for a moment and continued, "Wanwan, who should have died, regained control of your body with a powerful and terrifying will and kicked the mission taker out of your body."
Ning Wan hesitated before asking, "...So, did I succeed in the end?"
Song Mengwan shook her head: "The power of the plot is uncontrollable, and accidents can happen at any time... In the end, Wanwan died in a car accident, leaving Xiaoshu alone, who was sent to different orphanages."
Compared to her first life, Ning Yanshu, who had never experienced maternal love, briefly experienced Ning Wan's love in this reincarnation.
But in the end, this love was forcibly taken away.
He became more misanthropic and more hateful of the world.
Ning Wan felt a faint, sharp pain in her heart.
The thought of Ning Yanshu having to face her death alone at such a young age must have made him feel incredibly helpless.
She took a deep breath, calmed herself, and asked, "So what about the second cycle?"
"In the second cycle, Wanwan regained control of her body earlier than in the first cycle. You took Ning Yanshu directly to Shen Fu."
Upon hearing this, Ning Wan was overjoyed: "Then this time, we're sure to succeed, right?"
Song Mengwan's sigh and shake of her head made Ning Wan's heart sink: "You did indeed have a very happy time, but later the people from the Transmigration Bureau intervened again..."
"Shen Fu noticed the changes in Wanwan's body and soul, so he locked you in a room... and finally, strangled you with his own hands..."
At that time, 15-year-old Ning Yanshu was standing outside the door...
