The cannon fodder in the stand-in novel tries to correct his life 2. Click here...
Gu Yan finally reunited with Ye Lan, the goddess of his dreams, and was extremely excited, showing off their affection on social media all day long.
But after spending some time together, he realized that being with Ye Lan wasn't all that great.
He did love Ye Lan deeply before, and after she went abroad to study, he found many body doubles who looked like her.
Shen Shuyue was the most beautiful and also the most obedient and well-behaved. Even raising a cat or dog for a long time can lead to feelings of attachment, let alone a person, especially a beautiful woman who relies on you wholeheartedly.
If Shen Shuyue is a sensible, obedient kitten, then Ye Lan is a proud princess.
After they got together, no matter how busy Gu Yan was, as long as Ye Lan made a phone call, he would rush over to serve her.
He bought Shen Shuyue a bag worth tens of thousands of yuan, and Shen Shuyue was so happy that she would fawn over her and serve her attentively for several days in a row.
If you buy Ye Lan a bag worth over 100,000 yuan, she might throw it in your face and question whether you're just going through the motions.
Although he is indeed the president of a listed company, the company belongs to the entire Gu family, and he only owns a small number of shares.
Ye Lan, on the other hand, would casually buy sports cars worth tens of millions and jewelry worth millions.
If they were married, it would be fine, but they're just dating now. Such an expensive gift—even if he agreed, his parents wouldn't allow it!
Over time, he found being with Ye Lan exhausting. Furthermore, the Ye family was in decline, and his parents and uncles were very disapproving and opposed to his relationship with Ye Lan.
Whether due to his own reasons or pressure from his family, Gu Yan gradually felt that Ye Lan was really not suitable to be his good wife.
Therefore, when Ye Lan said that her parents hoped to see her and Gu Yan set a wedding date as soon as possible, Gu Yan remained silent.
After a long pause, he finally spoke: "Lanlan, haven't you always wanted to avoid being tied down by marriage? I think you don't need to force yourself. We're perfectly fine being together now!"
Gu Yan's words made Ye Lan feel uneasy. Before, Gu Yan would practically pester her every day, proposing marriage several times a month. Now that she was taking the initiative to propose, Gu Yan was actually refusing, and with such a flimsy reason.
Although she had been living abroad for the past few years, she was fully aware of Gu Yan's every move.
Ye Lan knew that Gu Yan had been tirelessly searching for a substitute who resembled her for the past few years.
She wasn't worried at all before; after all, a double was just a fake. She believed that as long as she turned back, Gu Yan would unceremoniously abandon those fakes and come crawling over like a lapdog.
The reason she broke up with him so easily before was because she had found a better marriage prospect. Gu Yan, this backup plan, was just one of the bigger fish in her pond.
Things are different now. Since her grandfather passed away and her eldest uncle took power, the status of Yun's branch of the family has declined significantly.
After her previous marriage proposal fell through, Gu Yan became the most outstanding among her many suitors in terms of family background, ability, and appearance.
Her parents called several times a day, urging her to return to China as soon as possible. They said if she couldn't snag Gu Yan, this wealthy and eligible bachelor, she would be considered an unsuitable match by her family. This was why she rushed back from abroad.
As soon as she returned to China, Gu Yan, just like before, clung to her, which made her quite proud. See, even though she had been abroad for several years, her charm hadn't diminished at all.
But now Gu Yan has actually rejected her engagement proposal, which is even harder for her to accept than when she discovered that Gu Yan had developed some genuine feelings for the little sparrow who grew up in the orphanage.
Gu Yan, who had loved her deeply since childhood, had fallen in love with an orphan girl who, apart from resembling her in appearance, was otherwise good for nothing.
In a fit of anger, Ye Lan used Gu Yan's name to lure Shen Shuyue to a bar.
A little orphan girl dared to steal a man from Miss Ye, so she decided to give that man surnamed Shen an immense fortune.
She planned to arrange for Shen Shuyue to have a relationship with a notorious playboy in the industry, and to let Gu Yan witness Shen Shuyue's promiscuity firsthand.
With the protagonist's halo around her, Shen Shuyue, as if possessed by a divine force, became more cautious and dragged the original owner along to the appointment.
When Ye Lan saw that it was the two of them who came, in order to be absolutely sure, she asked the bartender to put drugs in both of their glasses.
And so, Shen Shuyue and the original owner were both affected. Shen Shuyue had the female lead's halo, and the male lead Gu Yan made a domineering appearance at the crucial moment and took her away, leaving the miserable original owner who knew nothing.
Ye Lan never expected that her attempt to steal a chicken would backfire, instead bringing Shen Shuyue and Gu Yan together.
The haughty Miss Ye vented her anger on the original owner who had come with Shen Shuyue. She had the dazed original owner taken to the playboy's room.
And so, the original owner became a stepping stone and cannon fodder for Shen Shuyue and Gu Yan to escalate their relationship.
After the original owner had a relationship with that playboy, she forced herself to leave, suppressing her grief and indignation, treating it as if she had been bitten by a dog.
Just as her life was returning to normal and everything was moving in a positive direction, a medical checkup plunged her into despair: she contracted HIV.
The company did not want to take any risks or violate the Labor Contract Law, so it negotiated with the original employer and offered her some financial compensation in exchange for her voluntary resignation.
The original owner of this body was like this: as soon as she found out she had been infected with HIV, she was asked by her company to resign voluntarily.
She understood the discrimination and exclusion against people with HIV/AIDS in modern society. To be honest, if she were in that situation, she certainly wouldn't want to share an office with someone with HIV/AIDS every day.
She understood the company's decision and left with the compensation. Clinging to a sliver of hope, she underwent testing at two reputable hospitals, but her anxiety finally died.
Later, after much difficulty, she learned that the playboy had contracted HIV several years earlier because of his promiscuous lifestyle.
Ye Lan knew he was infected with HIV, which is why she plotted to have a relationship with Shen Shuyue. By a twist of fate, the original owner of this body ended up being the victim.
When the original owner went to question Shen Shuyue, Shen Shuyue covered her mouth and took a few steps back upon hearing that she had AIDS: "What does your AIDS have to do with me? I'm a victim too, okay? If you feel wronged, go find Ye Lan!"
To stop the original owner from bothering Shen Shuyue again, Gu Yan even went to her rented apartment to spread rumors, saying that she was not simple, had dated many boyfriends, was too promiscuous, and had contracted AIDS.
She lost her job and was evicted from her rented room by her landlord, ending up homeless. The original owner was filled with hatred. Since Gu Yan wouldn't give her a way to survive, then none of them should live.
The original owner, under the guise of being pregnant, lured that playboy out and castrated him. She then told him that Ye Lan had ordered her to do it all; she was paid to do something, and if he wanted to blame someone, he should blame Ye Lan.
She then kidnapped Gu Yan, Shen Shuyue, and Ye Lan separately, slashing Ye Lan and Shen Shuyue's faces to pieces. She physically castrated the culprit, Gu Yan.
After posting her ordeal online, she jumped from the office building of the Gu Group, wearing a red dress.
She harbored too much resentment after her death, completely letting loose and refusing to reincarnate. She cultivated frantically and was almost a ghost king.
In order to get rid of this plague god as soon as possible, the underworld made a deal with her.
Let the person who performed the task live a good life for her, and help her fulfill any unfulfilled regrets. Then she will obediently go and be reincarnated.
The underworld surely wanted to send her to the eighteenth level of hell, but it couldn't.
The original owner possessed a great deal of unseen merit left by his father and grandfather. In the underworld, not only are good deeds effective, but unseen merit is also effective.
The original owner's ancestors were all martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country, and her father was a firefighter who died while fighting a fire.
Her mother was a doctor who saved lives. After her father passed away, her mother was heartbroken and did not want to stay in the place of sorrow, so she took her, who was still an infant, back to her parents' home.
She died of illness a year later, and then her two aunts conspired to abandon her at the gate of an orphanage.
Her maternal grandmother was heartbroken when she found out, but she herself relied on her two sons to support her. Even if her granddaughter was abandoned, she had no choice but to accept it.
After learning about his parents' situation, the original owner used his accumulated good karma to make a deal with the underworld.
The tasker gives her a second chance at life, helps her stay away from her toxic best friend, and gives her a happy marriage (or not).
But if you want to have a lovely child (boy or girl), you should go to offer incense and sweep the graves of her biological parents during the Qingming Festival. Tell them that you are doing well.
As for revenge, let fate decide. In any case, she had already taken revenge herself in her previous life.
She was extremely grateful that the person in charge was willing to take care of those bastards, and would definitely give them a big five-star review.
After receiving the memories, Chen Xia first called her landlord to tell her that she wanted to terminate the lease.
"Xia, are you sure you want to cancel your lease? Let me tell you, it's not going to be easy to find a single room around here that's cheaper than mine!"
And Xia, it's like this, we had an agreement that I should be notified one month in advance if I wanted to terminate the lease.
If you suddenly say you want to terminate the lease, I'll have to find a temporary tenant in the next two weeks, which will increase my costs!
Let me tell you, you need to think this through. If you move out today, I won't refund the remaining rent for most of the month; I can only return your deposit.
Chen Xia was in a hurry to terminate her lease and didn't want to waste time arguing with the landlady over half a month's rent.
"No problem, Auntie. Something came up unexpectedly, I'm sorry. Do you have time to come and collect the room now?"
Seeing how nice Chen Xia was, the landlady felt a little embarrassed and told her that she would be there soon.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Xia quickly began packing her luggage. There wasn't much in the room. Apart from her laptop, important documents, and bank cards, which needed to be put in her bag, she threw away whatever else she could, since none of it was worth much anyway.
Chen Xia packed the original owner's old clothes and shoes into an old bed sheet and put them into the old clothes recycling bin in the community.
Other old items were thrown into the trash can downstairs. The simple shoe rack and wardrobe were still usable, so they were left with the landlady.
