Chu Nian looked around at the cramped space she was in.
She was clearly in an elevator, and the floor indicator on her right showed that she was going down.
Strange, she clearly remembered that she was already dead.
Even stranger, a bunch of strange memories began to appear in her mind.
She noticed the elevator floor indicator showed it had reached the first basement level, then the second... Finally, when it reached the eighteenth basement level, the elevator stopped with a ding. Then, a computer-like notification sounded in Chu Nian's ear: "Welcome to the eighteenth basement level of the underworld. An examination has revealed several instances of murder in your previous life. You will now be subject to one hundred and eight severe punishments in the eighteenth basement level of the underworld..."
Chu Nian suddenly realized that this was the underworld and she was truly dead; but at the same time, her expression hardened, and she asked in a cold voice, "Wait a minute, when did I commit murder?"
This is the punishment of the eighteenth level of hell; it sounds unbearable. Have the officials of the underworld been acting so recklessly lately?
The notification sound said, "You have attempted suicide several times."
Chu Nian: "But she never actually committed suicide." Before her death, she did consider suicide because she couldn't bear the pain, but it was just a thought...
The notification sound said, "No matter what, it's an act of murder..."
Chu Nian: "I disagree, I want to appeal!"
The notification sound said: "If you disagree, you can have thirteen more forms of torture added to the one hundred and eight severe punishments!"
Well, she might as well have said nothing. Chu Nian almost laughed out of anger, and said, "Don't I have any other choice?" She didn't want to suffer the torment of hell again after just enduring excruciating pain from an illness.
The notification sound said: "You can also choose to enter the Book List Transformation Project, enter various books to change the original owner's fate, eliminate their resentment, and increase your merit. As long as your merit points successfully allow you to advance to the first level, you can be reincarnated without having to endure the punishment of the eighteenth level of negative karma."
Chu Nian chuckled and said, "Actually, you wanted me to..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a notification sound: "The unclaimed ghost Chu Nian has automatically applied to enter the modification plan... Application approved... Soul matching initiation..."
"Hello..." Chu Nian hurriedly called out, "Who has 'applied to enter'?"
"Soul match successful," the notification sound seemed to ignore her completely, still focused on me, "Now: Enter!"
"Wait a minute!" Chu Nian shouted angrily, but her body suddenly swayed, and then she fell into a daze. The next moment, the scenery in front of her had completely changed.
The first thing she felt was the warm sunlight shining on her. It made her feel incredibly comfortable. She had been bedridden for many days due to illness before her death and hadn't been able to go out and bask in the sun for a long time. The long-awaited sunshine made her feel a long-lost sense of vitality.
It seems that this isn't so bad! That's what she thought at that moment.
At the same time, a flood of memories that didn't belong to her rushed into her mind. And the notification sound from before suddenly rang out again: "If the original owner's resentment is not eliminated, the original punishment will be doubled!"
Countless curses flashed through Chu Nian's mind, but to avoid further suffering, she calmed herself and quickly organized the memories that had just entered her mind. At the same time, she also spared a bit of attention to the outside world, lest she die before she could catch her breath if there was any danger.
A gust of wind rushed towards her, and Chu Nian's mind raced. She dragged her newly acquired body to the side, and a basketball flew past her ear.
A girl's loud laughter could be heard from not far away.
Another similar sound approached. This time, Chu Nian was prepared, and this physical body was somewhat easier to use than the first time she moved. So she moved a second faster, dodging in one step, and another basketball flew past her other ear.
Chu Nian was furious. She was already annoyed by being tricked as soon as she entered the underworld, and now someone was being so tactless as to provoke her!
She turned her head and looked in the direction the basketball had just flown from, and found that it was a group of tall girls wearing cool summer sports T-shirts and shorts, the workmanship of which looked like high-end products.
There aren't many girls who like basketball. In the original owner's memory, although she and they were in the same class, they weren't close. However, every time she watched them play basketball so skillfully, the original owner felt a little envious. But they wouldn't let her play, and naturally, she wouldn't shamelessly try to curry favor with them. Instead, she always went against them.
The original owner's name was Lin Nian... Chu Nian was slightly surprised by the original owner's name. Although the surname was different, how come the first character had the same name as her?
Lin Nian is already a junior in the performing arts department. Because of her good looks, she attracted the attention of many boys and even teachers during her freshman year. Of course, the teachers mainly noticed her because of her appearance and wanted to see her future potential. But the boys' attention to her was inevitably for other reasons.
However, because her acting was terrible, her singing was off-key, and her dancing was like a shamanistic ritual, many of her followers collectively found her in awe and then quickly "unfollowed" her.
So, the news that she was able to enter the school and become a college student because her wealthy father donated a swimming pool quickly spread throughout the entire campus.
That's not the point. The point is that she was the first cannon fodder to be tragically eliminated halfway through the book.
Because of a family arranged marriage, her grandfather arranged for her to get engaged to Chen Tianchi, another young master from a wealthy family. Chen Tianchi is the second male lead in the book and a gentle and devoted fan of the female lead, Tian Siyin. However, he is a straight-laced man who doesn't love his fiancée, Lin Nian, and he's the kind of man who can drive you crazy.
Because Lin Nian discovered that Chen Tianchi liked Tian Siyin, she started picking fights with Tian Siyin and even planned to steal away Yun Fan, the male lead who liked Tian Siyin, so that Tian Siyin would also experience the pain of having her lover taken away.
They're really courting death!
Midway through the book, because of her reckless actions, she incurred the hatred of both the male lead and the male supporting character, who conspired to ruin her family. Her grandfather died of illness, her father went to prison, and her mother fell to her death from a building while trying to save her. Originally a three-generation family, she was left all alone, penniless.
Wanting to rescue her imprisoned father, she had no choice but to curry favor with Yun Feng, the underworld tycoon and the male protagonist Yun Fan's uncle. Little did she know that the seemingly at odds uncle and nephew were actually in cahoots.
In the end, Yun Feng threw her to drug dealers, where she was forcibly injected with a large amount of drugs and died.
Actually, if you think about it carefully, although Lin Nian is indeed quite demanding, it's basically just the princess syndrome of a rich young lady. She hasn't really done anything immoral or heinous; at most, she's just annoying and has caused trouble for the female lead a few times.
However, there were also several times when the female lead caused trouble and framed others, rather than Lin Nian acting recklessly on her own. In the end, she ended up with her family destroyed and dying. Not only did she die, but none of her family members had a good ending. No wonder she was resentful.
