Сhарter 23: Fighting fоr thе Villаiness in аn Onlinе Romanсе Novеl 1
Shen Jiаоjiаo thоught shе would nеvеr sее Littlе Вlаck Вall аgаin.
Little Black Вall аlso thоught it wоuld hаvе to find anоther host, аnd it wаs quitе uрset аbout it.
Unеxpесtеdlу, thе higher-uрs said that its inabilitу tо соntаct Shen Jiaоjiао was оnly bеcausе а сhаractеr in thе Small World hаd awakеnеd, саusing the Smаll Wоrld’s passage to closе itself.
Аftеr Shеn Jiаоjiaо passed аwaу pеaсefully in her sleep, and Xie Yanqing and Wen Shanyi followed her shortly after, the Small World returned to normal.
Little Black Ball “biu”ed into Shen Jiaojiao’s arms: “Wuwuwu, Host, you’re back.”
It had completely forgotten about Shen Jiaojiao’s mission failure.
It also forgot that Shen Jiaojiao hadn’t suffered the same miserable fate as the original villainess.
Shen Jiaojiao stroked Little Black Ball’s smooth fur twice, a faint smile curling at the corners of her lips.
How wonderful—she could continue living again.
Shen Jiaojiao put on a dejected expression: “Sorry, Little Black Ball. Maybe I was inexperienced in the first world, so I failed the mission.”
Little Black Ball nodded: “It’s okay. There won’t be any more accidents in the next world.”
But…
Didn’t that mean Shen Jiaojiao would have to suffer miserably?
Meow, it felt a bit reluctant to let her endure hardship…
Little Black Ball suddenly shuddered—it must have caught a virus!
It quickly jumped out of Shen Jiaojiao’s embrace: “Host, it’s time for you to go to the new world! The plot has been sent to your mind. Make sure to play your role as the villainess well.”
Shen Jiaojiao smiled faintly: “Alright.”
………
“Shen Jiaojiao! You liar! Pay me back!”
“Not answering your phone, huh? Just wait—I’m coming for you!”
“I already know your current address. I’ll be there in ten minutes!”
After the furious young voice fell silent, the dim room returned to quiet once more.
It was broad daylight, but the thick, dark curtains blocked all sunlight from outside. The only light in the room came from the phone screen on the sofa.
By the glow of the phone screen, one could see the girl on the sofa rubbing her temples uncomfortably, her delicate brows furrowing immediately.
After her eyelashes fluttered a few times, Shen Jiaojiao opened her eyes.
She blinked twice, her gaze gradually clearing as she began to receive the plot and the original host’s memories.
This was a Small World based on an online scam novel. The female lead was Su Niannian, whose background was rather unfortunate.
The female lead’s standard setup: a gambling-addicted father, a sickly mother, and a helpless her.
While being chased by debt collectors, she overheard them saying that online scams could make money quickly and that there were plenty of gullible, wealthy “fat sheep” online.
Thus, the desperate female lead got the idea and began working as a gaming companion and streaming on the hottest competitive mobile game of the moment, crafting a pitiable persona while earning money.
Later, she met the male lead, Lujingshu, and the two gradually got to know each other and fell in love. The male lead not only helped her family repay all their debts but also gave her father a respectable job and helped her become a famous internet celebrity.
As for the villainess Shen Jiaojiao needed to play this time, she was the female lead Su Niannian’s roommate.
Unlike the unfortunate Su Niannian, Shen Jiaojiao was a wealthy heiress.
Except… not long ago, her family went bankrupt.
Overnight, she became a fallen heiress.
Her father ran off abroad with her mother, leaving her without a single penny.
Because after the bankruptcy, Shen Jiaojiao was discovered not to be their biological daughter.For a pampered young lady who had grown up in luxury, this was nothing short of a catastrophe. Watching Su Niannian, whom she had always looked down upon, live an increasingly better life while she herself fell deeper into destitution was unbearable.
After going bankrupt, Shen Jiaojiao’s designer bags, clothes, and properties under her name were all seized to pay off her debts.
Penniless, she began to entertain the idea of following Su Niannian’s footsteps into online scams.
But her choice was… to use Su Niannian’s photos for her scams.
Shen Jiaojiao felt deeply ashamed and couldn’t bear to lose face. She was also afraid of being discovered by people from her former social circle, as she specifically targeted wealthy young men she had known before.
Initially, it wasn’t the female lead, Su Niannian, who first met the male lead, but Shen Jiaojiao. However, since she had always used Su Niannian’s photos for her online scams, the male lead developed a favorable impression of Su Niannian and later intentionally approached the female lead.
After the two got together, Shen Jiaojiao couldn’t accept it. She anonymously exposed Su Niannian’s online scams on the school forum, but the male lead, who had been closely monitoring the female lead, discovered it in time. He blocked her account and deleted the post, so it had no impact on the female lead at all.
It was this very action of Shen Jiaojiao’s that made the male lead realize that the female lead’s identity and past behavior could become obstacles to their future together. So, he began to have someone craft a new persona for the female lead, repaid her family’s debts, and even returned the money she had previously scammed.
No matter how unwilling Shen Jiaojiao was, there was nothing she could do. She wanted to cause more trouble, but someone exposed her use of Su Niannian’s photos for online scams.
The post went viral on the school forum and even spread to Weibo, attracting a flood of criticism.
Shen Jiaojiao was also expelled from school.
Without a diploma and despised by everyone, she couldn’t find any decent job.
Having been a pampered young lady, she couldn’t bring herself to do menial work like washing dishes and could only take on odd jobs to earn a little money.
Due to long-term poor nutrition and exhaustion, she soon fell ill. With no money for treatment, she suffered from the illness for a long time before finally passing away.
Little Black Ball wiped away its tears, already imagining the pitiful state Shen Jiaojiao must have been in during her illness.
Suppressing its sorrow, Little Black Ball said, “Host, the villainess in this world doesn’t have a very distinct personality, so you can just improvise.”
Shen Jiaojiao hummed in acknowledgment. In this world, her role wasn’t as prominent.
So, outside the plot, she could do whatever she wanted, right?
Thinking of the back pain she suffered in her previous life, Shen Jiaojiao swore that in this world, she would definitely…
Take it easy.
Yeah, no drinking!
