Snap.
Upon arriving in this new world, as soon as her senses returned, Tang Ning immediately felt a tear slide down her cheek and land on the back of her hand, which was holding her phone.
Tang Ning subconsciously raised her hand to touch her face, and immediately felt her hand was wet. Presumably, the original owner had already shed tears for a long time before she arrived, so even her face was a little tight.
Tang Ning immediately put down her phone, which had already gone black, and looked around. She realized that she was in the room of a girl from a relatively well-off family. The warm color scheme was not only very appropriate, but also had a cute girlish feel. It was clear that the person who decorated the room had a good sense of aesthetics.
After looking around the room, Tang Ning went straight to the bathroom on the side. Her face was sticky and dry, which was really uncomfortable, so she wanted to wash off the tear stains on her face before accepting the plot.
Upon entering the restroom and standing in front of the mirror, Tang Ning looked at the exquisitely beautiful girl in the mirror, who seemed to have been meticulously sculpted by God himself, and raised her pretty eyebrows in surprise.
Unlike the delicate appearance of the previous two worlds, Tang Ning in this world is truly stunning from head to toe. Her beauty is even somewhat aggressive. She has a fair and delicate oval face, a perfect three-section face and five-eye ratio, beautiful phoenix eyes with dark pupils, a straight nose, and M-shaped lips with a thin pink cupid's bow. When she doesn't smile, she may seem a little aloof, but when she smiles, even someone like Tang Ning who is used to seeing beautiful women will be amazed.
It's just so beautiful, so vibrant and radiant.
Therefore, Tang Ning really couldn't understand why a girl with such a face would ultimately choose to make a deal with her, since with just that face, she could be invincible in many things.
Not to mention, when she first arrived, the original owner of this body seemed to be crying.
With that in mind, Tang Ning quickly washed her face, then sat on the sofa next to her, hugged a pink and white cushion, and began to accept the plot of this world.
Yes, just like in the previous two worlds, she is still called Tang Ning in this world.
As Tang Ning had analyzed before, the original owner's family was indeed very wealthy, and could be considered one of the top wealthy families in Hai City. A few years ago, her father was even the richest man in such an international metropolis as Hai City. Although he has become somewhat tired in recent years, he is still one of the top wealthy families in Hai City.
However, the original owner's father was not her biological father, but her stepfather.
The original owner's mother, Tang Qing, was a legendary figure whom countless girls who wanted to marry into wealthy families dreamed of publishing. After all, at 28 years old, she was not young, had a low level of education, an unremarkable family background, and a sales job with no entry requirements that she couldn't offer. Moreover, she was a widow with a child and was in her second marriage.
When she suddenly married the richest man in the eyes of netizens, her past was dug up by netizens, leaving everyone scratching their heads in confusion as to what she was so special about that made the richest man marry her. Apart from an excessively beautiful face, she really had nothing to offer.
At the time, netizens dubbed her the "Queen of Gu" and regarded her as the happiest and luckiest Cinderella of our time.
While others may not know the reason, how could Tang Ning, who is Tang Qing's biological daughter and has lived in the Ye family for more than ten years, not understand?
The reason her mother was able to marry into the Ye family, such a prestigious and wealthy family, was truly due to her face. It wasn't because she was beautiful, but because she resembled someone—who did she resemble? Naturally, she resembled the previous wife of Ye Zhen, the head of the Ye family.
Here, Tang Ning needs to clarify that this really has nothing to do with any melodramatic trope of a domineering CEO using a stand-in. After all, Ye Zhen didn't love his previous wife that much; he simply married her because they were a good match and treated her like royalty.
Uncle Ye Zhen's only love was his work, and he devoted almost all his attention to it, to the point that he completely neglected his wife. The long-term cold and indifferent married life caused Ye Zhen's wife, who longed for romantic love, to suffer from postpartum depression after giving birth. After enduring it for six years, she finally jumped off a building.
And just then, her son Ye Jinyan saw it all.
From then on, Ye Jinyan began to resent his father, who was like a work machine. At only six years old, he entered the rebellious phase early, always going against his father in everything, and even ran away from home more than once.
After learning all about his son's situation, Mr. Ye had to admit that what happened next was really outrageous.
What should I do if my rebellious son wants to run away from home and misses his mother? Just find him another one!
I'll find you another one that, while not exactly the same, is about 80-90% similar. You should be satisfied now!
Then, disregarding the advice of all his relatives and friends, he insisted on marrying Tang Ning's mother, Tang Qing.
Well, I must say, since my son has become a lot more "well-behaved" since he had a "new mom," he's not rebellious anymore, he doesn't cry for his mom every day, and he doesn't run away from home anymore.
Ye Zhen was satisfied.
Little did he know that the reason his good son no longer rebelled or ran away from home was entirely because he had placed all his resentment towards his father on his new stepmother and the child she brought with her, Tang Ning.
Tang Ning was only five years old. Her family had never been well-off since she was a child. Her father had accumulated a huge debt due to gambling. From the time she could remember, she had been hiding from her mother every day. She had never even attended kindergarten. Often, in the middle of the night, a loud knocking on the door of the newly moved-in house would be heard, along with loud complaints from the neighbors next door.
In addition, because her mother's appearance was so striking, even though she dressed up in a disheveled manner every day, she would still be met with some inexplicable and unwarranted malice.
After all, in such circumstances, beauty is also a sin.
Tang Ning's mother had considered divorcing her father, that scoundrel, but a person with a wicked nature, when trapped in a quagmire, never thinks about how to save himself, but rather wants to drag everyone around him down with him to their deaths.
Whenever Tang Ning's mother brought up divorce, her father would say viciously that he was a worthless man anyway, and if she wanted a divorce, fine, he would go to the Tang family and kill both her parents as soon as the divorce was over. He wouldn't even spare her and Tang Ning, and told them to hide well, otherwise he would chase them to the ends of the earth and kill them.
It was this very statement that completely dispelled Tang's mother's thoughts of divorce.
She had wanted to die with her bastard husband more than once, so that Tang Ning would no longer live this shameful, hopeless life. Unfortunately, her parents were too sick to even take care of themselves, and Tang Ning was too young, at an age when she needed her mother. Seeing her so young, she would learn to help her pick vegetables, wash clothes, and even stand on a small stool to wash chopsticks and dishes for her. She couldn't bear to do it, she really couldn't bear to.
This unbearable life finally came to an end when Tang Ning was four years old. Her scoundrel husband, after accumulating debts, was running a red light when a taxi struck him, leaving him mangled and bloodied.
When Tang Ning was five years old, she was even more fortunate to meet her second husband, Ye Zhen, and began to live a comfortable life that she had never imagined before.
For Tang Qing, whose temper had long been worn down by her ex-husband, such minor issues as her stepson's disobedience were no big deal.
Tang Ning, who was following behind her, also fell in love with the young man who looked like a little prince at first sight. She had never seen a boy like him before and longed for and admired such a person. Unfortunately, her feelings for him did not receive any response from Ye Jinyan. Instead, she was met with his merciless ridicule, insults and mockery.
The little girl, who was already insecure because of her childhood experiences, immediately became even more insecure.
Just then, she encountered another ray of light in her life: Jiang Yao, the youngest son of the Jiang family, which had a long-standing relationship with the Ye family.
As a child, Jiang Yao was a very loyal fan of good looks. Almost on the day he came to Ye Jinyan's birthday party, he saw Tang Ning, who was dressed up like a beautiful doll, and cried and begged her to be his wife. He kept begging until he was eleven or twelve years old, and finally his parents agreed to his absurd request.
Jiang Yao and Tang Ning got engaged.
He was good to Tang Ning for ten whole years, always calling her "Little Sister Ningning".
Over the past decade, Tang Ning gradually began to fall for him. Knowing that Jiang's mother had always disapproved of her background and treated her with disdain from the moment they met, she began to work frantically. She learned piano, etiquette, painting, tea ceremony, illustration, horseback riding, and so on. To be worthy of Jiang Yao, she never slept in a single day from childhood to adulthood, her schedule always packed. Her thoughts were simple: she was Jiang Yao's wife. To win his mother's favor and to ensure that Jiang Yao wouldn't be ashamed to take her out, she did everything in her power to become outstanding.
She eventually grew up to be the kind of child everyone admired in Shanghai's upper class, winning countless trophies and awards. She became a proud and wealthy young lady, perfect from head to toe, so much so that even her critical mother couldn't find fault with her.
She genuinely believed that she could marry Jiang Yao peacefully and live a happy life with him.
But fate just loves to play tricks on her. She discovered that Jiang Yao, who attends an all-boys high school, has fallen in love with someone else. Not only that, she also found a photo of that person on his phone. Although the person was wearing a boys' high school uniform and had short hair, Tang Ning's intuition told her that it was a girl, not a boy.
Therefore, she conducted a private investigation and confirmed that the boy named Yin Yufeng was actually a girl named Yin Yuqing who had taken his twin brother's place at the prestigious boys' school.
Not only that, she also ended up sharing a dormitory room with her fiancé Jiang Yao by a twist of fate, and has been living there for a full six months now.
Tang Ning was devastated upon receiving all this news. She was absolutely certain that her fiancé was having an emotional affair and had fallen in love with someone else. Starting three months ago, Jiang Yao had gradually reduced the frequency of his messages to her, and in the past month, he hadn't sent her a single message at all. Moreover, when Tang Ning sent him messages, he would often only give brief replies like "um," "yes," or "okay," and sometimes he wouldn't reply at all.
Because of her childhood experiences, Tang Ning, who has always been plagued by deep-seated inferiority, has long regarded Jiang Yao, who has been kind to her for ten years, as her salvation.
She would never allow Jiang Yao to fall in love with another woman.
So, after crying, she chose not to hesitate to cut off her waist-length hair. With her stepfather's help, she was able to enter Jinsheng Boys' High School, where Ye Jinyan and Jiang Yao were studying, as a boy.
Once inside, she discovered that not only her fiancé Jiang Yao, but even her half-brother Ye Jinyan, who was wicked in his childhood but grew up to be like a moving iceberg, would show the gentlest and softest smile to the confused Yin Yuqing, who could mess up anything.
So on what grounds? What exactly is the basis for this?
She has no other advantages besides being cute. She's bad at studying, has no special talents, and even falls and scrapes her knee while running. Apart from having a bright and sunny smile, her figure is completely like a washboard. So why is that?
Tang Ning couldn't understand it.
Yin Yuqing's existence seemed to proclaim that all her efforts over the past ten years had been in vain. Girls don't need to be outstanding, nor do they need to know this or that. Even if they are not good-looking, it doesn't matter. As long as they are in such an environment, they can attract everyone's love and pity by simply acting cute and live a life of being the center of attention.
Oh.
But Tang Ning was never one to be trifled with. Taking advantage of Jiang Yao's lingering feelings for her, she maintained a friendly facade with Yin Yuqing while secretly plotting against her more than once. After all, she couldn't bring herself to be soft-hearted towards a girl who knew she was a girl but didn't keep her distance from boys, and who even knew the other man had a fiancée but deliberately crawled into his bed out of fear during a thunderstorm.
For some reason, none of her schemes succeeded. Instead, her schemes only deepened the bond between Jiang Yao and Yin Yuqing.
Ultimately, Jiang Yao discovered her true colors, which led him to take the initiative to break off the engagement.
It was at this moment that Tang Ning finally understood why she had failed. It turned out that in school, Yin Yuqing's admirers were not only her good brother and fiancé, but also the school doctor she had always thought was very gentle and refined, and the poor academic genius in school who was always alone, gloomy and deep, and who was said to often fight with delinquents outside of school. They all admired Yin Yuqing.
It was they who ruined all her plans time and time again, and because they knew Yin Yuqing's feelings for Jiang Yao, they repeatedly granted her wish.
Tang Ning has gone mad, truly mad, completely devoid of reason.
After learning about this, she did not hesitate to go online and expose Yin Yuqing's true identity as a woman, pointing out that she only joined the room to hook up with rich men, and shamelessly knowing that her roommate had a fiancée, she still did all sorts of things like sneaking into his bed and accidentally kissing him.
After the post was exposed, she even spent a lot of money to get it trending on social media.
Yin Yuqing became famous, but she also became famous for being criticized. She broke down, and her face, which was always full of the brightest smile, was now covered with tears.
In this situation, wouldn't her four bodyguards be human if they didn't rush to help?
Some posts were removed from trending topics, some were clarified, some were used to play the victim, and even Yin Yuqing's true gender was exposed. The post cleverly revealed that Yin Yuqing's twin brother, Yin Yufeng, was an excellent student who was admitted to Jinsheng Boys' High School, but lost his life on the eve of his enrollment due to an act of bravery. Yin Yuqing disguised herself as a boy to attend Jinsheng Boys' High School to fulfill her brother's last wish, and had no such unpleasant intentions.
The emotionally charged language and profound sentiments used throughout the article, coupled with the news of Yin Yufeng's death while saving someone, truly moved netizens to tears.
Yin Yuqing even became known as the nation's little sister because of this.
That wasn't the end of it. Tang Ning was even cornered in a girls' restroom stall by the gloomy academic genius Xu Xingbo, who nearly strangled her, saying it was just a small warning and that if she ever dared to make Yin Yuqing show even the slightest unhappy expression again, he would kill her.
Tang Ning, who had just survived a life-threatening ordeal, returned home only to be slapped by her stepfather. It turned out that Mu Sheng, the gentle school doctor and one of Yin Yuqing's admirers, was no ordinary school doctor. He was actually one of the top conglomerates in Country E, who made his fortune in the arms trade and was extremely ruthless.
You ask him why the head of a top conglomerate would work as a lowly school doctor at a prestigious boys' high school in Shanghai? It's mainly for Yin Yuqing.
Ah, so it turns out that the person Yin Yuqing's twin brother, Yin Yufeng, saved in his act of bravery, even at the cost of his life, was actually the only daughter of Mu Sheng's deceased elder brother. He doted on her like a precious jewel. Since Yin Yuqing's brother, Yin Yufeng, lost his life to save his little niece, of course he would take good care of his sister.
Yin Yuqing wanted to take her brother's place at Jinsheng Boys' High School, so he smoothed things over for her, making sure no one could discover she was a girl. He even helped her pass the semesterly physical exams. Although he never acknowledged Yin Yuqing, he was always secretly protecting her.
Tang Ning has ruined Yin Yuqing's reputation so badly this time, so of course he has to teach her a lesson. He deliberately gave the cross-border cooperation with the Ye family to someone else just before signing the contract, and told Ye's father meaningfully that his daughter was very well raised, and hoped that she would remember that in the future, she should never mess with people she shouldn't mess with!
Ye Zhen, who always valued the company and his work above all else, naturally went to make trouble for Tang Ning without a second thought when he heard this. Even Tang Qing, who pleaded for Tang Ning, was offended by him. The couple, who used to treat each other with respect, became completely estranged.
I learned from Ye Zhen that she was beaten because she had offended someone she shouldn't have. She has always been kind to others, and apart from Yin Yuqing, who else has she offended recently?
Yin Yuqing, Yin Yuqing, Yin Yuqing, Yin Yuqing is everywhere, why is she so good?
Some people tried to clear her name, some tried to gain sympathy for her, some almost strangled her because of her, and some even rejected a contract worth hundreds of millions from the Ye family because of her.
It's all for her, entirely for her.
Tang Ning was unwilling, truly unwilling. In a fit of anger, she had someone tie up Yin Yuqing and even wanted to take nude photos of her. After all, Yin Yuqing was so pure, innocent, and harmless in the eyes of those four people. She wanted to see how Yin Yuqing would react if this pure white sheet of paper were truly stained black.
Just as they were preparing to film, Tang Ning received a call from her mother. Hearing her mother's cheerful voice on the phone, she looked at Yin Yuqing lying on the ground of the dilapidated factory and was moved. Not wanting to tarnish her mother's reputation or make her sad, Tang Ning ultimately chose to stop and had Yin Yuqing sent back.
However, the unconscious Yin Yuqing only heard Tang Ning's threat to take nude photos of her and did not see Tang Ning stop. So when she woke up, she broke down in tears and told the four bodyguards guarding her room that Tang Ning had taken nude photos of her and that she did not want to live anymore. She even tried to jump off the building more than once because of this.
This really angered the four people. However, before the other three could make a move, the gloomy academic genius Xu Xingbo took the lead. Because of his extraordinary computer skills, he directly exposed the explicit bed photos of Tang Ning's mother, Tang Qing, with several idiot sugar daddies in her early years.
It turns out that after Tang Ning's father, who was like mud, died in a car accident when she was four years old, luck did not come to Tang Qing. Instead, it played a cruel joke on her. Her parents fell ill one after another and needed kidney transplants. Not only that, Tang Ning also contracted an acute illness that required expensive surgery.
Everything weighed on Tang Qing's shoulders in that instant. She cried, she hated, she even considered buying poison and setting off with her family of four. In the end, she looked at her face in the mirror and smiled through her tears.
She didn't want to be a mistress, nor did she want to break up someone else's family, so her options were extremely limited. She ended up with several sugar daddies before finally saving Tang Ning's life and bringing her parents back to health. Looking at her family members regaining consciousness, she repeatedly felt grateful that she was a woman, and a beautiful one at that.
But why would Xu Xingbo and the others want to dig into these things? Because of Yin Yuqing's crying, they only wanted to crush Tang Qing. So in their revelations, Tang Qing became a shameless gold digger who would do anything for money, and only after unexpectedly catching Ye Zhen, a big fish, did she finally choose to quit.
These pictures are the best proof.
Tang Qing became famous, absolutely famous.
Because Ye's father couldn't bear the humiliation, he took the initiative to divorce her. And because of the prenuptial agreement, Tang Qing and Tang Ning were practically left with nothing.
It was at this moment that Tang Ning realized that she had implicated her mother. She grabbed a knife and frantically tried to find Yin Yuqing, and wanted to settle scores with those four bastards, Jiang Yao, Ye Jinyan, Mu Sheng, and Xu Xingbai.
In the end, it was Tang Qing who took the initiative to persuade her. She said, "Ningning, it's not worth sacrificing yourself for those people. Ningning, be good. She has nothing to complain about. Actually, these past years have been a bonus for her. Her past has always been like a time bomb for her. Sometimes she couldn't even sleep at night, just worrying that it would explode one day. Now, she can finally breathe a sigh of relief and get a good night's sleep." She was very grateful to Ye Zhen. If it weren't for meeting him back then, she probably would have already dragged Tang Ning down into the mud. Not to mention that her Ningning had grown into such a beautiful and outstanding young woman. She was truly satisfied and grateful, so there was no need for repayment, really no need.
mom……
Tang Ning, who had been persuaded by Tang Qing, hugged her and cried bitterly. Because the photos were being spread all over the internet, she was already planning to take Tang Qing to another country.
Before leaving, she thought about it and decided to see Yin Yuqing. No matter what, she would never bear any guilt. She had not taken any nude photos of her and hoped that she would stop talking nonsense. She would just consider it as her being scared.
But just then, a group of men in black, who seemed to appear out of nowhere, suddenly appeared and tied Yin Yuqing up in a van.
Tang Ning, who witnessed the incident from across the street, genuinely wanted to ignore it. Unfortunately, due to her upbringing and her mother's teachings, she simply couldn't turn a blind eye. She feared she would regret it for the rest of her life.
Tang Ning probably didn't expect that she would regret it for half her life after she went.
Tang Ning was unaware of this at the time, so after thinking about it, she still drove after them and even called the police.
Finally, she saw the group of people tie up Yin Yuqing and take her to an abandoned auto repair shop in the suburbs. At first, she could bear to watch, but when she saw that those people even wanted to violate Yin Yuqing, she finally couldn't hold back anymore. She ran back and forth, making a commotion while rescuing Yin Yuqing. Unfortunately, during the escape, she and Yin Yuqing were accidentally separated, and the other person fell directly down the hillside. When the police came, the unconscious Yin Yuqing was covered in injuries, her clothes were torn, and there were some ambiguous marks on her neck.
Seeing this, the four protectors went crazy and began to frantically search for the kidnapper. They eventually found the surveillance footage of Tang Ning entering and leaving the abandoned auto repair shop.
This time they were really angry. Ye Jinyan took the initiative to find Tang Ning and slapped her hard across the face.
Then, with a blank expression, he watched as the furious Jiang Yao pulled Tang Ning into his car and, to teach her a lesson, abandoned her alone in the wilderness.
No sooner had Jiang Yao left than Tang Ning, who was all alone, was targeted by human traffickers. They covered her mouth with a dirty, smelly rag and kidnapped her.
The school doctor, Mu Sheng, who was following Jiang Yao's car, clearly witnessed Tang Ning being kidnapped. He saw her mouth covered and her eyes filled with despair, fear, helplessness, and terror, but he only smiled and watched helplessly as the car that kidnapped Tang Ning drove further and further away.
After a long while, he finally began to slowly dial the police's number and gave them the license plate number of the van.
Whether she can be saved depends on her own luck.
Unfortunately, Tang Ning's luck has always been incredibly bad, from childhood to adulthood. The police couldn't find her; she was directly sold by human traffickers to a remote, desolate mountain forest where she felt utterly helpless.
When Yin Yuqing woke up and repeatedly expressed her gratitude to Tang Ning for saving her life, the four of them finally realized that they had made a mistake. Because Tang Ning had rescued her in time, Yin Yuqing had not suffered any real harm. Furthermore, Mu Sheng discovered that the person who had kidnapped Yin Yuqing was clearly his mortal enemy in Country E.
But in order not to affect Yin Yuqing's mood, they lied to her and said that Tang Ning had been taken abroad by her mother and that she would probably never see her again in her lifetime.
The four of them did try to find Tang Ning, but no matter how hard they searched, even after the human traffickers who had kidnapped Tang Ning were caught, they still couldn't find her.
Five years, a full five years. While Yin Yuqing was enacting the sweetest idol drama with Jiang Yao and others, Tang Ning was on a completely different social and legal channel.
Five years later, Tang Ning finally found an opportunity to kill her own child, husband, and mother-in-law, and burned down most of the village before returning to Haishi by begging.
It was then that Tang Ning learned that her mother had died the following year in a landslide in a remote village while searching for her, and that Ye Zhen had taken care of her body.
She had lost everything. Looking at herself in the mirror, she was only 22 years old, yet she already had gray hair and wrinkles around her eyes. It was truly ridiculous.
Her life is truly ridiculous.
She wiped away her tears forcefully, and watching Jiang Yao and Yin Yuqing's grand wedding on TV, she didn't hesitate to grab a knife and sulfuric acid and head to their wedding venue.
Unfortunately, despite her thorough preparations, she was caught off guard and killed by Ye Jinyan, who was desperate to save her, before she could even make a move. Bright red blood flowed all over the ground, and her eyes were wide open, unable to close...
Author's Note: A new story, a new scumbag. I feel like the ratings for these four characters in this world will definitely be high. Tang Ning in this world is a proud and arrogant young lady, beautiful and refined.
The four scumbags are: Jiang Yao, the unruly and shameless cheating fiancé; his aloof and icy half-brother; the school doctor who appears to be a school doctor but is actually a big shot; and Xu Xingbai, the gloomy, poor, and extremely talented computer genius.
What do you think is the best way to rate them? Who's the worst?
