Chapter 6 The Real Worldline
Wen Yao was unaware that she had turned Fu Jinzhi's attraction into murderous intent.
She happily went upstairs to take a bath, arrogantly ordering 8848, "Music!"
8848, with his rebellious nature, played a suona version of "Little Apple" for her. The piercing sound went straight to her brain, and for a moment, Wen Yao felt like she was being held at a funeral.
The bathtub turned into a coffin, and the little apple became a small tribute fruit.
"Alright, alright," Wen Yao said dejectedly, waving away the ominous images from her mind. "Stop playing them, let's just unlock the plot."
[Host, the [Yearning for My God] has been settled. Would you like to draw some items now?]
"Draw!" Wen Yao sat up, clasped her hands together, and looked devout. She used to be so envious of the cool and awesome props of the protagonists in all kinds of system novels.
Fortune turns, and it's finally her turn to have the golden touch!
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the item [Weakness Disposable Correction Pen]]
[Item Description: As its name suggests, it's a one-time use item. Its function is to modify the text of the actual storyline. However, as its name also suggests, it's very weak, only able to change one character at a time.]
"It seems like a pretty good tool," Wen Yao stroked her chin. Sometimes a single word can change everything, and if used properly, it can be incredibly powerful.
"Let's unlock the story now and see if there's anything we can change."
[Ding, decompressing...]
[Story unlocked.]
[Original text: This patient is very special; she is the senior's younger sister, Fu Yan.]
Fu Jinzhi was once a favored son of heaven, and she and her half-sister An Ruoruo were a match made in heaven.
She was a lowly illegitimate child, whose identity could not even be revealed, and she could only keep all her love hidden in her heart.
She told herself countless times that it was impossible, but every time she thought of Fu Jinzhi, An Rourou was still moved. He was the moon in the sky that she had been searching for all her life.
She unexpectedly discovered that her senior's wife was faking her pregnancy, and in a moment of impulse, she exposed her.
An Rourou had no selfish motives; she simply didn't want Fu Jinzhi to be hurt and wanted him to be like the bright moon, never to be bullied.
Later, when An Rourou learned from Fu Yan that Fu Jinzhi had divorced, she felt guilty but also relieved.
I guess this counts as helping the senior!
Her smile was as serene as a daisy.
Is it possible to see him tomorrow?
An Ruoruo is no longer here, but she has learned a medical skill that has attracted the attention of even the gods and ghosts.
Will the two of them have a fresh start?
...
[Real-world timeline: After learning medicine, An Rourou couldn't wait to return to the place where she had been heartbroken.]
This time, she's going to take back everything that belongs to her, whether it's the An family or Fu Jinzhi, she wants it all!
Getting close to Fu Yan was part of her plan, but this girl was the youngest daughter of the Fu family, pampered and spoiled, and in perfect health.
It's alright. An Rourou sneaked into the party that Fu Yan was attending, drugged her first and then used an antidote, and sure enough, she gained the trust and reliance of the naive and foolish young lady.
With Fu Yan as a stepping stone, would getting close to Fu Jinzhi still be a problem?
But she never expected that someone would use her pregnancy to climb the social ladder and get there first. An Rourou would never allow it!
Fortunately, it was just a false pregnancy, otherwise An Rourou doesn't know what she might have done.
Having eliminated Wen Yao, An Rou Rou knew it was her turn to step in. Fu Jin Zhi liked An Ruo Ruo's type.
She and An Ruoruo are 60% similar, and if you add a touch of clothing and styling, they can reach 80%. If you learn their expressions, they will be even more alike.
An Rourou practiced An Ruoruo's gentle smile in front of the mirror, her eyes filled with unwavering determination.
"Ahhh!" Wen Yao's eyes widened like saucers, and her fingers trembled as if she had Parkinson's. "The female lead is actually a yandere, and she's deliberately acting as a substitute!"
My goodness, what kind of performance is this?
Where is the gentle, resilient, and compassionate female healer I was promised? Why is she poisoning people?
Is this what they call the legendary one?
[Where did this legend come from?] 8848 is puzzled; its database contains no relevant information.
"I made it up on the spot."
Wen Yao stirred up a handful of bubbles, gathered her thoughts, and challenged 8848, "Although the fact that the female lead is a black-hearted lotus is an important clue, but..."
"Why is it a plot point that's already in the past? Can I still change it if it's already over?"
【……cannot. 】
Wen Yao pointed and said, "Xiao 8, I'm not trying to criticize you, but have you been dedicated to the system all these years? Have you worked hard? Take a good look at yourself."
8848 started playing the suona again. Heh, call Brother 8 if you need something, call Little 8 if you don't.
Wen Yao was unconvinced and, enduring the pain, punched herself on the head, making the system inside her writhe in pain.
With both sides severely weakened, 8848 raised the white flag.
Next time, I'll definitely tear the world's consciousness apart and never take expired plot fragments again, okay?
"Okay." Wen Yao grimaced. This was truly a case of hurting the enemy eight hundred while losing a thousand of his own. What a loss, too much of a loss.
[The item is temporarily unavailable. What are your next steps, host?]
“Fu Yan is my sister-in-law after all…” Wen Yao frowned, thinking of how Fu Yan, who was so lively yesterday, suddenly got sick and couldn’t go out today.
Based on the plot line just now, there's a 99% chance that the female lead, An Rourou, is behind it all.
"In a sense, An Rourou and Fu Jinzhi are a good match."
[Where is the match?] The mechanical sound of the 8848 is crackling and obviously very annoying.
"Neither of them is good enough. Fu Jinzhi is a man who is physically incapable, and An Rourou is a woman who is psychologically incapable."
"If An Rourou were a human being, she would know that the wronged should be held accountable and the guilty should make amends. Why is she relentlessly exploiting Fu Yan, this innocent little lamb?"
[Host, I have to clarify something.]
It's not that Fu Jin is incapable, it's just that even a skilled cook can't make a meal without ingredients.
"What?!" Wen Yao was shocked. Her hands, which were drying her body, trembled, and the bath towel fell to the ground. "Fu Jinzhi, he's a eunuch?"
No wonder he was entangled with two women for many years in the original novel, yet he didn't have a single child!
The case is solved!
【What are you thinking? I mean he and Yuan Wenyao didn't do anything that day!】8848 wants to send Wenyao the middle finger emoji again.
Huh? Wen Yao was truly dumbfounded. She found this even more bizarre than Fu Jinzhi being a eunuch.
"Weren't they caught in the act?" Wen Yao asked hesitantly.
[Indeed, both of them were in bed, and Fu Jinzhi had lost his mind and wanted to achieve harmony with Yuan Wenyao, but Yuan Wenyao deeply loved Fu Li, which was why she struggled so desperately...]
In short, it's not the final step yet.
"Hehehe," thinking of her previous frequent attacks on Fu Jinzhi, the usually heartless Wen Yao showed a rare hint of pity.
What a terrible traitor, Fu Jinzhi! Not only is the child fake, but even the story of catching him in bed with another man is a lie.
And even her supposed wife is fake...
Oh, and one more thing is true: An Rou Rou's love for him is real.
The kind of love Kuku showed when he drugged his sister.
Tomorrow, I must find a way to save Fu Yan tomorrow!
