Lin Wenxuan stumbled when she grabbed him, and the anger in his chest instantly flared up. He raised a hand and shoved her away.
“Stay away from me. Don’t come looking for me again. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.”
Su Wanqing lost her footing and fell backward. The back of her head slammed against the old locust tree by the roadside with a loud thud.
Her vision went black, and she slid limply to the ground.
Lin Wenxuan was startled. He looked around. No one was there.
Gritting his teeth, he crouched down and checked Su Wanqing’s breathing. She was still alive.
He stood up, dusted the dirt off his pants, and walked away without looking back.
After taking a dozen steps, he turned around and glanced back once more. The woman was still lying beneath the tree, completely motionless.
Lin Wenxuan clenched his fists, turned around, and quickly disappeared into the dusk.
Night had completely fallen.
Su Wanqing lay beneath the tree, her brows tightly furrowed.
Her head buzzed as if ten thousand bees were flying around inside it.
It hurt like hell.
The back of her head felt as though it were about to explode.
Then she heard a voice.
【Ding. Host meets the requirements. System binding in progress…】
【Binding successful.】
【Welcome, Host, to the world of Little Blessed Wife of the Seventies.】
Su Wanqing suddenly opened her eyes.
Her last memory was of the pressure cooker exploding at home.
When she opened her eyes, all she could see was the pitch black sky above her and the leaves of the old locust tree swaying overhead.
Little Blessed Wife of the Seventies…
Wasn’t that the period novel she had just finished reading?
In the book, the vicious supporting female character was framed by the original male and female leads and forced to marry a Village Bachelor. In the end, she died inside that broken cave dwelling.
The handsome villain sacrificed everything to avenge her. He fought directly against the male and female leads and was eventually beaten to death.
That plot had so many flaws that after finishing the novel, she could hardly tell who the real villain was.
Su Wanqing slowly sat up and covered the back of her head, baring her teeth from the pain.
Countless scenes flashed through her mind like a movie.
Going to the Countryside.
Zhiqing.
Lin Wenxuan.
Li Xiulian.
The man beside the haystack…
Could it be…
Had she transmigrated into a novel?!
And into the vicious supporting female character, Su Wanqing, who shared her exact name?
Su Wanqing took a deep breath and slowly let it out.
Fine.
As long as she was alive, even transmigrating into a novel was acceptable.
【Ding. Initial mission released.】
【Please choose one of the following targets:】
【A. Lin Wenxuan B. Lu Shiyan】
【Your choice is permanent and cannot be changed.】
The plot flashed through Su Wanqing’s mind.
The man was covered in blood, pinned to the ground by others, yet his eyes remained fixed on the woman in the distance who had long since gone cold.
That fool.
He had fallen for nothing more than a delicate little drama queen. For the sake of that face, he had thrown away his own life.
【Please make your choice.】
Su Wanqing slowly climbed to her feet and brushed the dirt off her backside.
“I choose B, Lu Shiyan.”
【Ding! Please confirm your choice: B. Lu Shiyan.】
The mechanical voice of the system carried a trace of hesitation.
【Host, are you certain you want to choose the great villain Lu Shiyan? According to the original novel’s settings, he is the number one villain in the entire story. He is cold and solitary, currently living in a cowshed, has a problematic family background, and stands opposed to the original male and female leads. Choosing him means you will automatically stand against the protagonist group and face greater difficulties and challenges in the future.】
Su Wanqing dusted off her clothes and leaned against the old locust tree to steady herself.
“I’m sure.”
【Host, let me remind you once more. Lin Wenxuan is the original male lead and possesses protagonist luck. Choosing him will make it easier to obtain Fortune Points, and future missions will also be less difficult. As for Lu Shiyan…】
“Enough, enough.” Su Wanqing interrupted it. “Let me ask you something. What kind of person is Lin Wenxuan?”
【The original male lead. A Zhiqing sent to the Countryside. High school educated. Gentle, refined, and ambitious.】
Su Wanqing spat disdainfully.
“That’s just the surface. In reality, he’s ambitious, selfish, and a social climber. Look at what he just did. He pushed the original owner into that locust tree and ran away without even checking on her. Completely irresponsible.”
The system fell silent.
Su Wanqing continued, “Then tell me about Lu Shiyan.”
【The original villain. The son of a high ranking cadre. After his family fell from power, he was sent away. Cold and solitary. The core figure behind the Black Market across several nearby communes. Extremely intelligent, meticulous, patient, and scheming. In the original story, he fought against the protagonist’s plot armor in order to avenge Su Meier and was ultimately framed and killed.】
Su Wanqing smiled.
“Then isn’t the answer obvious? One is a wolf wearing human skin. The other is a person wearing a wolf’s skin. Who else would I choose?”
The system remained silent for two seconds.
【Host, your understanding of the original story seems to exceed that of an ordinary reader.】
“I sympathize with the villain. Is that not allowed?” Su Wanqing rubbed the back of her head. “I liked him when I was reading. I felt sorry for him. If you’re making me choose now, am I supposed to pick that hypocrite instead?”
She recalled the events of the novel.
Lin Wenxuan kept stringing the original owner along while secretly carrying on with Li Xiulian.
Only the foolish original owner never realized it. Lin Wenxuan had accepted plenty of benefits from her, but he had already become involved with Li Xiulian behind her back.
In the end, to get rid of her, Lin Wenxuan drugged her and forced her into marriage with a Village Bachelor. The man tortured her until she was nearly dead before selling her to a black kiln.
Meanwhile, Lin Wenxuan returned to the city with the female lead and lived a comfortable life.
And what about Lu Shiyan?
That fool never cared that the original owner ordered him around and discarded him after using him.
He knew everything, yet he still willingly stayed by her side.
To avenge Su Wanqing, he even gave up returning to the city after the Lu family was rehabilitated. He abandoned his bright future as well.
After the original owner died, he carried a knife alone and fought his way from one end of the village to the other.
Even when he was finally pinned to the ground, his eyes remained fixed on the direction where she had been buried.
Su Wanqing took a deep breath.
“I’m choosing Lu Shiyan.”
【Ding. Choice confirmed: Target of affection, Lu Shiyan.】
【Binding in progress…】
【Binding successful!】
【Detected that Lu Shiyan’s affection value toward the Host has already reached 100%. Initial mission completed instantly. Hidden mechanism activated!】
The system’s voice suddenly rose in pitch.
【Congratulations, Host! The moment you chose Lu Shiyan, you completed the initial mission. You are the first Host in this system’s history to complete a mission instantly. Your insight is exceptional, and your judgment of the original characters’ true nature is highly accurate!】
Su Wanqing fell silent for a moment.
After a long pause, she sighed softly.
Lu Shiyan’s love for Su Wanqing really had overflowed to that extent.
In the original story, Lu Shiyan had first been attracted by her beauty and had fallen for her delicate and pampered appearance.
The original owner only used him, yet he willingly allowed himself to be used. To avenge her, he sacrificed his own life.
Just how deeply had that man loved that face?
【Ding. As a reward for instantly completing the initial mission, the Host receives an additional reward: One choice from ten mystery boxes.】
【Each mystery box may contain supplies, skills, or special items. One of them contains a special option: Return to the Original World. Due to the Host’s extraordinary completion rate, this option may be selected directly!】
【Explanation of Return to the Original World: The Host’s body in the original world is currently undergoing emergency treatment. If you choose to return, you will receive a reward of 1,000,000 yuan, regain full health, and continue your original life.】
Su Wanqing froze for a moment.
