Сhарter 1: Fighting for the Соntract Wifе 1
Shen Jiaоjiао wаs а vеry соnfliсted рersоn.
So…
She wаs сonfliсted tо dеаth.
Shen Jiаоjiaо stаrеd blаnklу аt hеrself flоating in mid-аir whilе her body laу lifelеss in the bаthtub.
Whаt thе??
Shе had just beеn hapрilу sоаking in the bаth—how did shе suddenly drор dеаd thе neхt second?
Shе’d hеаrd оf рeoplе dуing frоm ovеrwork, but nеver from tаking а bаth.
“Нey, уоu didn’t die suddenlу—you wеrе killеd in а crimе оf passion.”
An Electrоnic Vоiсе thаt sоunded sоmewhat gleеful suddenlу rang оut.
Shen Jiаojiao whipped her head around, but there was nothing there.
Huh?
Haha~
Scaring~ herself~
Shen Jiaojiao turned back to continue studying her own corpse. Tsk, she really was beautiful—even in death she could look this stunning.
The invisible system nearby was full of question marks. Weren’t Chinese people supposed to have the most stable and normal mental states? Why did it feel like the Host it had found seemed normal but also not quite right?
It spoke up again to assert its presence: “This was a crime of passion, you know. Someone poisoned your red wine.”
Shen Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes, crossed her arms, and with an unapproachable demeanor but a smiling face, said, “Come out. Don’t make me slap you.”
System: ?
Every previous Host, upon first encountering it, had been filled with fear and panic.
Why was this human acting even more arrogant than it was?
Thinking this, the system, shaped like a Little Black Ball, immediately materialized and even zoomed right up to Shen Jiaojiao’s face, trying to scare her twice over.
Instead, Shen Jiaojiao swiftly grabbed it in her hand and casually gave it a few squeezes.
Honestly, even though this thing was pitch black and oddly ugly, it felt pretty good to squeeze.
“Ah!” the system shrieked. “You fickle woman! Let go of me!”
Shen Jiaojiao raised an eyebrow, her fair, delicate hand squeezing the Little Black Ball even harder.
Only when the Little Black Ball gradually turned into a little red ball did she slowly loosen her grip.
The system was already red-hot with anger. Tearfully, it accused Shen Jiaojiao: “Not only are you fickle and two-timing, but you’re also this vicious! Serves you right for being poisoned by one of the fish in your pond! If it weren’t for me, you’d have been completely annihilated by now!”
Shen Jiaojiao glanced at the Little Black Ball without changing her expression, then suddenly curved her lips into a smile. Her breathtakingly beautiful face was like a blooming, gorgeous rose—radiant and dazzling.
The Little Black Ball was mesmerized, unconsciously swallowing hard. Looking at such an exquisite and stunning face, it suddenly felt like forgiving her for what she had just done.
No, no, no—it was the Punish the Villainess System!
It couldn’t be swayed by beauty!
The Little Black Ball cleared its throat and said seriously, “Shen Jiaojiao, right? You’re already dead and should have been completely annihilated. But, you were lucky enough to encounter me. As long as you go to the Small Worlds and complete your tasks properly, you’ll get a chance to be reincarnated.”
It looked at Shen Jiaojiao with pride, waiting for her to be as grateful as previous Hosts, not noticing that Shen Jiaojiao’s hand had quietly clenched.
“What kind of system are you?” Shen Jiaojiao asked, her expression unchanged.
The Little Black Ball became even prouder: “My full name is the [Villainess Must Experience Miserable Fate System]. My purpose is to make those wicked women and cheaters experience being the villainess in a hundred Small Worlds, letting them personally feel the miserable fates of villainesses, thereby achieving the goal of reforming bad women and cheaters, so they can be reincarnated as good people.”
“How about that? Scared now?”
Silence.
Silence.
Silence.When anger reaches its peak, one truly can laugh. A few seconds later, an even more stunningly beautiful smile appeared on Shen Jiaojiao’s delicate face.
Her tone became soft and coquettish: “I’m so scared, please don’t be so cruel to me.”
Little Black Ball felt she was being sarcastic but had no proof, so it had to believe her: “That’s more like it. Don’t worry, we’re a legitimate system. As long as you complete your tasks properly, you’ll earn points in each world. You can use those points to exchange for the family you want to be reborn into.”
Shen Jiaojiao nodded, appearing to start trusting Little Black Ball, with no trace of defiance on her face. She simply asked, “So, how did I die?”
Little Black Ball began to gloat: “While you were torn between marrying your childhood sweetheart or your fiancé, you were also keeping several side lovers. One of them found out everything and turned love into hatred.”
Shen Jiaojiao: …
She had been fishing for years, only to be swallowed by a fish.
She had nothing to say.
She continued asking, “Why choose me as the Host? I wasn’t that much of a scumbag, was I?”
She was just a little too generous with her affections, a little too unwilling to let boys get hurt, and made a little mistake that all men make.
Little Black Ball silently glanced at Shen Jiaojiao’s romantic history from her first crush until now and really wanted to ask, “Do you have no self-awareness at all?”
“Host, binding with you is already a done deal. Don’t struggle.”
Shen Jiaojiao smiled: “So, my task is just to play the role of the villainess in every Small World, right?”
Who would have thought that even after dying, she could still have fun in the Small Worlds—no, scratch that—work in the Small Worlds. Either way, she was the one benefiting.
Little Black Ball nodded: “Yes.”
Shen Jiaojiao casually asked again, “What if I play my role seriously but the plot goes off track and the mission fails?”
Little Black Ball was taken aback. Could missions even fail?
“Don’t worry, Host. That won’t happen.”
“What if it does?”
Little Black Ball replied casually, “Then it’s not your problem, as long as you play the villainess properly.”
All the previous Hosts succeeded, some even ending up more miserable than the original villainess in the plot.
Of course, it wouldn’t tell Shen Jiaojiao any of this.
Shen Jiaojiao chuckled softly, but she didn’t tell Little Black Ball either.
Her constitution was known as the “charmer.”
Little Black Ball knew nothing about this. It had said all it needed to say. If it weren’t for this Host’s good looks, it would have kicked her into the mission world long ago, hmph.
“Alright, Host, I’ll send you to the first mission world now. Here’s the information for the first world.”
This world was a story of rekindled love. The female lead, He Chuya, and the male lead, Xie Yanqing, met in university—one an icy campus heartthrob, the other a gentle campus belle, a perfect match in the eyes of outsiders.
He Chuya was outstanding and ambitious, but unfortunately, she came from a poor family. The Xie family was dissatisfied with her and constantly targeted her. Xie’s mother even sabotaged the female lead’s internship.
Deeply aware of the gap between herself and Xie Yanqing, the female lead chose to study abroad after graduating from university, leaving behind a regretful sigh among their classmates.
The villainess Shen Jiaojiao needed to play was a wealthy young lady from a family of equal status to the Xie family. She and the male lead, Xie Yanqing, became contractual spouses due to a business marriage alliance.Shen Jiaojiao did not like Xie Yanqing at first. She only agreed to the arranged marriage because she couldn’t defy her family’s wishes. Initially, she unilaterally declared that after marriage, they would each live their own lives, just like the superficial couples in their social circle.
However, as the two spent more time together, Shen Jiaojiao fell in love with Xie Yanqing. After all, whether it was his looks, demeanor, or abilities, he was among the top in their circle, with only one or two others comparable to him.
But no matter how hard Shen Jiaojiao tried, the two remained nothing more than a married couple in name only.
It was at this time that the female lead, He Chuya, returned from abroad and quickly became the new project manager at Xie Corporation.
The male and female leads became connected due to the start of the new project. Having investigated Xie Yanqing before, Shen Jiaojiao knew about He Chuya, his ex-girlfriend, and thus felt as if facing a formidable enemy. She began using various means to deal with He Chuya.
In her desperation to defeat He Chuya, she even stole data from Xie Corporation’s new project and gave it to their rival company, Wen Corporation, while framing He Chuya for the crime.
Naturally, she did not succeed in the end. He Chuya managed to resolve everything, uncovered evidence proving Shen Jiaojiao was the mastermind, and even sued her.
As if misfortunes never come singly, the Shen family went bankrupt due to backing the wrong side. Shen Jiaojiao met her father in prison, while her mother, unable to bear the blow, passed away.
Xie Yanqing divorced Shen Jiaojiao as soon as she was imprisoned. There had never been any affection between them, and he certainly wouldn’t keep a traitor as his wife.
When the truth came to light, everyone who knew Shen Jiaojiao, including her close friends, couldn’t believe she was such a malicious person. After all, Shen Jiaojiao had always appeared gentle, graceful, and sensible.
At the end of the story, after serving five years in prison, Shen Jiaojiao looked as haggard as a forty-year-old. She had endured immense suffering inside, and nothing remained of her former image as a wealthy heiress.
On the day of her release, she happened to see Xie Yanqing and He Chuya appearing together on television—one exuding an extraordinary, cold elegance, the other gentle and dignified—a perfect match.
Shen Jiaojiao felt somewhat dazed. While crossing the street, she failed to notice an oncoming car and was instantly killed.
“Villainess character setting for this world: a malicious female antagonist disguised as gentle and sensible. Please do not deviate from the character setting, Host, or you will face electric shock punishment~”
“Wishing the Host success in completing the mission in advance. You will receive a reward of 2 points.”
Little Black Ball laughed to itself after speaking. With a gentle push, it sent Shen Jiaojiao into the mission world and happily started playing games.
Thus, it did not notice the final look in Shen Jiaojiao’s eyes—clearly one of mockery and profound meaning.
