Shu Yan struggled to sit up, her head heavy. Her vision blurred in waves. She had only stayed up a little late last night, so why did her head hurt so much? Could she have a fever?
Her legs and hands were weak, her whole body was limp, and when Shu Yan opened her mouth, her throat felt blocked, and she couldn't make a sound at all.
That's it, I can't even call an ambulance.
After a while, Shu Yan managed to make two "ah ah" sounds, finally regaining her voice. She hurriedly searched for her phone to call an ambulance. She was working alone in another city, renting a small one-bedroom apartment. By the time someone found her, she would probably be cold already.
After rummaging under her pillow for a while, she pulled out a wad of money—a light blue hundred-yuan bill? Shu Yan was stunned. She was familiar with this money; it was the same kind of money she used when she was a child. But since the country issued new banknotes, she hadn't seen this kind of money anymore.
She was absolutely certain she didn't possess such banknotes. She had just changed her sheets yesterday, and there was nothing under her pillow except her phone. She hadn't left the house all day, and no one had entered her room. Where would she have gotten this kind of money?
What's most terrifying are her hands. Shu Yan can only be considered pretty, but her slender hands are exceptionally beautiful. Her ten fingers are long and well-proportioned, and her nails are rosy and full. Many people who have seen her hands regret that she didn't learn to play the piano.
But the hands before her were dark, fleshy, with rough skin and calloused fingertips. Shu Yan tried to control her fingers, making various movements—they were her hands, yet not her hands…
She threw off the covers in terror, only to find her normally slender body had transformed into a massive, obese one. She pinched her swollen belly, and a wave of pain washed over her. A scream escaped her throat, and her entire body trembled uncontrollably.
for a long time……
"I must be dreaming. I must be dreaming." Shu Yan covered her mouth in horror. This soft voice was definitely not hers; her voice was much harsher.
Suddenly everything went black, and Shu Yan fell back down. A sharp pain shot through her, and a memory that wasn't hers appeared in her mind, like watching a movie, showing her a person's entire life.
This person's name is the same as hers, Shu Yan. She was born in 1967. Her ancestors were poor farmers for eight generations. She had five siblings. She was the fourth in her family, with two older brothers, an older sister, and a younger brother. After graduating from the third grade of elementary school, she stayed at home to help take care of her younger brother and do housework. At the age of seventeen, she married Ye Zhiqiang from the neighboring village. At eighteen, she gave birth to her eldest daughter, Ye Jingjing. Because she was a daughter, she was not favored by her in-laws and husband. Two years ago, she finally gave birth to a son. It should have been a time of happiness after all her hardships. However, Ye Zhiqiang became arrogant after making some money and found a lover who had just graduated from university. He then turned around and disliked his wife, who was ugly, fat, and uneducated. He insisted on divorcing her. In a moment of despair, she took sleeping pills.
So, she has now transmigrated into the current Shu Yan?
Shu Yan opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling above her head, somewhat incredulous. She had only stayed up a little late reading a novel last night, so how did she end up transmigrating?
Speaking of novels, Shu Yan perked up. The female protagonist's parents in the novel seemed to be named Ye Zhiqiang and Li Jiaojiao, the same names as the original owner's husband and mistress. And the original owner's daughter and son's names, Ye Jingjing and Ye Tianbao, weren't those the names of the cannon fodder characters in the book? Most importantly, there was a cannon fodder character in the novel who never appeared named Shu Yan, and because her name was the same as hers, she had paid special attention to that part.
The novel's female protagonist is Ye Ranran, the daughter of Ye Zhiqiang and Li Jiaojiao. She has two half-siblings, born to Ye Zhiqiang's first wife, who gave her to his ex-wife, Ye Jingjing and Ye Tianbao, after their divorce. Their mother died in a car accident when they were very young, and the siblings had a difficult life with their maternal grandmother. Therefore, they deeply resented Ye Zhiqiang, and by extension, the female protagonist, which is why they attempted to frame her. Unfortunately, the male protagonist arrived in time to eliminate them.
Ye Jingjing and Ye Tianbao have only appeared in five chapters, and the name Shu Yan has only appeared once in Ye Jingjing's mouth. This is not enough to prove that she transmigrated into the book, but if you count the names of the female lead's grandparents, uncles and aunts, then it is definitely the novel I read last night.
So...she transmigrated into the book?
She didn't transmigrate into the female lead or the supporting female character, but into the mother of a female cannon fodder character, someone who only appeared once and is already dead.
Now that she has become Shu Yan in the book, if the original owner dies in a car accident, wouldn't that be the same as her death?
Can you return to your own world after you die?
Shu Yan's life was very ordinary. She was born in a small county town, and her parents ran a small fruit shop. She had a younger brother who was seven years younger than her. After she went to university, they saw each other less, but the two of them had a good relationship. After graduating from university, she returned to her hometown and found a job. She originally planned to take the civil service exam, but her family kept urging her to get married, so Shu Yan simply packed her bags and returned to the city where she went to university. Until she was thirty years old, she was still unmarried. It wasn't that she couldn't get married, but that she didn't want to settle.
As her friends all settled down with families and children, their lives shifted their focus to family, and they gradually lost common topics and contacted each other less. Shu Yan became increasingly reclusive, spending her days either watching dramas or reading novels. Who would have thought that reading a novel would lead her to time travel? Although she occasionally complained about life, she had no intention of becoming someone else.
How heartbroken her parents must be to know she's dead. For some reason, Shu Yan felt an overwhelming sense of loss upon learning that the person she knew in the original world was dead. A bittersweet feeling welled up inside her, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. The only thing she could be thankful for was that she still had a younger brother, so her parents would have someone to rely on in the future.
Going back is probably out of the question; she doesn't have the guts to commit suicide. What else can she do? She can only try to live on.
Once her thoughts had cleared, Shu Yan sat up again and turned her head to see a document with an empty medicine bottle on top of it. Picking up the bottle, she couldn't help but sigh.
"What a foolish woman! A scoundrel like him isn't worth risking your life for."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shu Yan's vision went black, and she almost collapsed to the ground. Her chest felt tight, and she desperately wanted to commit suicide to end it all.
Clutching her chest, Shu Yan's eyes were cold and sharp. "He was a scumbag to begin with. Besides being a wife, you are also a son and a mother. You committed suicide for a scumbag, disregarding your parents who gave you life and raised you, and your young and innocent children. You still think you're right?"
The despair slowly dissipated, replaced by waves of resentment.
"Don't worry, I won't let that scumbag and that woman off easily. Now that I've used your body, I won't abandon your parents and children."
After saying that, Shu Yan felt a sense of relief and took a few breaths. She never expected that a casual remark could affect the consciousness that remained in the original owner's body. If she hadn't reacted quickly enough, she might have been influenced and perhaps even jumped off a building like she was possessed.
Of course, she would keep her promise to the original owner. Although she didn't know why she had transmigrated into the book, since she had obtained the body and memories of the original owner, she naturally assumed the karma of that body.
By re-examining her memories, Shu Yan realized that it was now 1992, and the world's development level was similar to that of her own world in 1992. Some country and domestic place names had changed, but the general direction remained the same. This was a good thing for her, as the 1990s were still a golden age for doing business. She believed that with her foresight about the future, she wouldn't end up doing too badly.
The original owner was born in 1967 and is 25 years old this year, five years younger than Shu Yan. However, she is already a mother of two. Her eldest daughter is already seven years old and will soon be starting first grade, and her youngest daughter is three years old.
Shu Yan, who was still single at thirty in her previous life, was a little embarrassed. Now she's a mother right from the start—how exciting!
After pausing for a while, she continued to sort through her memories. The original owner graduated from the third grade of elementary school and stayed at home to take care of her younger brother and do housework at a young age. However, most daughters in their area were like that. She could recognize a few words, while her older sister had never even stepped into the gate of a school.
The two older brothers and the younger brother have all graduated from junior high school. To put it bluntly, it's a case of favoring sons over daughters. The eldest sister got married so that her third brother could find a wife, and she got married so that she could get a dowry to help her younger brother, who is two years younger than her, find a wife. It's no different from selling a daughter.
The brainwashing at home was very successful. The original owner's second sister and she herself were both wholeheartedly helping her brothers from her maternal family. Over the years, the original owner had secretly given her parents a lot of money.
Was this not the first time the scumbag had cheated? Shu Yan was shocked to discover.
Ye Zhiqiang had cheated on her when the original owner was pregnant with Ye Tianbao. At the time, the original owner cried and made a scene, and surprisingly, her mother personally came to persuade her to turn a blind eye. The gist of the story was that Ye Zhiqiang was capable, and which capable man wouldn't have affairs? As his wife, she should be magnanimous. Strangely enough, the original owner agreed. The reason she attempted suicide this time was because the scumbag was determined to divorce her.
In the original owner's eyes, she obeyed her father at home and her husband after marriage. Ye Zhiqiang was her everything. Now that the sky was about to collapse, she wouldn't be able to survive.
Shu Yan was shocked by these values. It's 2991, and people still have such ideas!
In any case, Shu Yan could not agree with this concept. She hadn't sorted out her memories earlier and only thought that the original owner's parents were similar to her own parents. But now that she knew what kind of parents they were, Shu Yan found it hard to be sincere. It was impossible for her to be a "brother-supporting demon." Now that they had grown up and started their own families, they naturally had to rely on themselves.
Since she promised the original owner that she would take care of her parents, she naturally wouldn't completely ignore them. In the future, if they get sick and are hospitalized, she will pay whatever it costs. When they get old and need someone to take care of them, the five siblings will split the cost equally. Only when the father is kind can the children be filial. The original owner's parents completely treated her like an ATM. The original owner was stupid, but she wasn't.
Fortunately, the original owner of this body didn't tell her family about Ye Zhiqiang's desire for a divorce. This had to be kept secret from them, otherwise her parents would definitely object, and there would be a lot of trouble. The original owner didn't want a divorce, but Shu Yan was more than happy about it.
After marrying Ye Zhiqiang, the original owner of this body never went to work. She had been farming and taking care of her children in the countryside until last year when she came to live with Ye Zhiqiang. She only knew that Ye Zhiqiang was a contractor, but she didn't know what he did specifically.
Ye Zhiqiang is wealthy and has extensive connections, making the situation very unfavorable for Shu Yan.
Shu Yan threw away the empty bottle she was clutching and picked up the document, which turned out to be a divorce agreement.
The above is a bunch of random stuff, but it can be summarized into three points: First, the house belongs to her, and the car belongs to Ye Zhiqiang; second, the family savings belong to her; and third, both children belong to her.
How much cash can a construction foreman's family possibly have? These days, houses are nowhere near as expensive as cars. Is Ye Zhiqiang just trying to get rid of his wife and children so he can live a carefree life with his mistress?
Dream on!!!
