Chen Tianchi gave a bitter laugh after hearing this. Yun Fan was already dead, so whether he was crippled or disabled didn't matter much anymore. But he was still alive and had to watch Lin Nian, who was so radiant, without even the right to like her anymore.
Chen Tianxi simply couldn't understand his feelings, and even if he did, he wouldn't care. In Chen Tianxi's view, if he hadn't been so infatuated with Tian Siyin and had continued his relationship with Lin Nian, Lin Nian might still be by his side now.
Ultimately, Chen Tianchi brought this upon himself.
Chu Nian's resentment had dissipated, so she felt exceptionally comfortable, after all, she was young and healthy!
She made a very comprehensive plan for her future, deciding to start by traveling to various scenic spots in China, and then travel all over the world, so that her healthy body could enjoy fresh air and warm sunshine.
Unfortunately, as soon as she finished making this plan, she felt a turbulence in her soul, and the scenery in front of her began to shake violently. A moment later, she felt a familiar sense of falling, and then a large number of other people's memories flooded into her mind.
Has she... time-traveled again? And she didn't even say goodbye?!
At the same time, a dizzy headache made Chu Nian, who was used to getting drunk, quickly realize that the original owner of this body was already drunk.
She could still hear a voice in her ear that she disliked, even found disgusting: "Come on, Niannian, stop pretending. Do you think you can be a prostitute and still pretend to be virtuous? Come on, let's get intimate... haha..."
Chu Nian sensed someone approaching her, and the person reeked of alcohol. This reminded Chu Nian of a private dinner arranged by her manager when she was still a nobody, a minor celebrity.
That time, she slapped an investor twice, very loudly. But after that, she was almost blacklisted, and it wasn't until two years later, when she changed film companies, that she was able to make a comeback.
This made Chu Nian feel very uncomfortable, and anger rose in her heart. Without thinking twice, she got up and grabbed the collar of the person who dared to approach her... well, the collar looked a bit like the costume she wore in a TV series, a period drama.
Never mind him, just attack first.
Then she heard two crisp slaps as the other person received two solid slaps from her.
Chu Nian shrieked, "You son of a bitch, do you think I'm easy to bully?"
"How dare you hit me?" the man cried out.
Chu Nian couldn't detect any anger in the other person's voice, which she found strange. She tried to clear her drunken mind and opened her eyes wide to look at the other person.
This woman, with a fat head and big ears, was dressed in ancient costume. Her cheeks were swollen from the slap. However, she didn't seem angry at all; she was looking at Chu Nian with a mournful expression.
Chu Nian remembered that she hadn't sorted out the original owner's memories yet, so she focused her mind and began to do so.
The original owner's name was Tong Nian, and she was indeed born in a fictional ancient world. She was originally a daughter of an official, but when she was eight years old, her family fell into ruin, and she was sold into a brothel, where she made a living by selling smiles.
The female protagonist of this book is a modern girl named Zhao Feiyan. She was a sixteen-year-old girl who was also sold into a brothel when Tong Nian was eighteen. It is said that she was originally a noble young lady.
After the female protagonist's soul transmigrated into this world, Zhao Feiyan won the hearts of many customers with her modern-style ice dance.
Not only was she an exceptional dancer, but she was also a gifted writer. To avoid being forced into prostitution by the madam, she wrote several stunning poems and vernacular novels—all of which she had learned in modern times—and sold them for high prices, making the madam a fortune. Although she didn't sell herself because of her talents, she attracted the attention of many customers, and she even snatched up the children's name tags.
Tong Nian had always admired Zhao Feiyan's dancing skills and talent, and was eager to befriend her. She arranged to meet Zhao Feiyan to discuss poetry and dance, and on that day, she rushed to the pavilion by the river on the outskirts of the city. However, after waiting for a long time, Zhao Feiyan did not come. Instead, Yang Jie, the notoriously wicked son of an official, arrived.
Yang Jie's original intention was to capture Zhao Feiyan. He heard from his cousin that the girl had an appointment with someone here today. At first, he thought that Zhao Feiyan had an appointment with a male customer, so he brought a group of people to capture Zhao Feiyan. However, when he arrived, he only saw Tong Nian.
Although Tong Nian was not as talented as Zhao Feiyan, she was more charming. Moreover, the original owner of this body had always been a performer who did not sell her body. Yang Jie captured her and brought her into his mansion. He then sent someone to deliver two hundred taels of silver to the madam, saying that he had redeemed this out-of-season prostitute.
Tong Nian was tortured to death less than two days after being captured and taken to the Yang family mansion. This torture was caused by both Yang Jie and Yang Jie's legal wife, Li Shi.
Later, Zhao Feiyan was shocked to hear about this. She remembered that she had inadvertently told Young Master Liu about Tong Nian's invitation to her, and Young Master Liu happened to arrive on the day of the appointment, spending a lot of money to insist that she stay and discuss poetry and art. Because the madam was pressuring her, Zhao Feiyan couldn't refuse and thus didn't go to the appointment. Young Master Liu was Yang Jie's cousin.
Zhao Feiyan, having broken ties with the two young masters Yang and Liu, took them to court, thus meeting Emperor Sima Xiu, who was secretly investigating the matter. Later, Sima Xiu offered ten thousand taels of gold to redeem Zhao Feiyan from her servitude, but Zhao Feiyan, considering the troubles she would face after entering the palace, refused. Although she eventually fell in love with Sima Xiu and still entered the palace, her story of "not being able to exchange ten thousand taels of gold" became a legend throughout the Eastern Chu Kingdom.
Tong Nian greatly admired Zhao Feiyan's life and wanted to be as "worthless" as her. She hoped to avenge Yang Jie and Li Shi, who had tortured her to death, herself, not Zhao Feiyan.
In the book, the character Tong Nian is merely a stepping stone for Zhao Feiyan to get to know Sima Xiu and attract his attention.
However, Zhao Feiyan hadn't actually hurt her, and afterwards even stood up for her. She harbored no animosity towards Zhao Feiyan, only envy and admiration for her courage to stand up for someone she didn't even know.
Sigh, her given name is Nian, and her nickname is Nian Nian! Chu Nian wondered to herself, could this be a coincidence?
"Niannian, my precious Niannian, give me two more slaps! Just two slaps, that's not enough!"
As Chu Nian was wondering why the cannon fodder characters in this book kept sharing the same name as her, she heard the fat, big-eared man opposite her plead with a wronged expression.
She looked at the other person with a slightly strange expression.
This man was named Li Wenzhuang, the son of the wealthy Li family. Just from his name, you can tell how much the wealthy Li family hoped their son would "pass the imperial examinations." Unfortunately, Li Wenzhuang was good for nothing but eating, drinking, and having fun.
He was a regular at Cuihonglou, the most prestigious brothel in the capital, and always chose the top courtesan whenever he came.
Nowadays, the original owner of Tong Nian's reputation is not as good as before because of the appearance of the female lead. However, even if she is not as good as Zhao Feiyan, she is still a superb singer. Moreover, she has always been self-respecting, and the madam also wants to sell her for a high price. Therefore, she is still a virgin and is still very popular with many young masters.
