Shen Fangfang had always been jealous of the original Shen Zhouzhou’s beauty. Unfortunately for her, some people were simply born beautiful, and no amount of jealousy could change that.
Jealousy truly made people ugly.
As soon as the original Shen Zhouzhou arrived, she immediately threw herself into cleaning without stopping. The longer she worked, the hotter she felt. At first, she assumed it was simply because of the physical labor, so she hurried to the faucet and drank some cold water. Instead of cooling down, the heat only intensified. Her entire body felt as though it were burning, and her head grew increasingly dizzy.
Hidden in the shadows, Wang Popi saw what was happening and knew it was his time to make his move.
“Beauty, here I come. I’ve missed you so much.”
The moment the original Shen Zhouzhou saw the old man appear, combined with the strange sensations coursing through her body, she immediately understood what had happened. Li Hongxia had set her up.
Keeping a wary eye on the old man, she desperately ran toward the door. Her limbs had already gone weak, and before she had taken more than a few steps, Wang Popi caught her and dragged her back.
“Stay away from me! My family will never let you off! I can give you money, please let me go!”
She pleaded desperately while struggling with all her strength, pushing against Wang Popi with both her hands and feet. Terror made her entire body tremble uncontrollably.
“Beauty, I’ll treat you well. There’s no way I’m letting you go. You’ve offended someone, and they paid me to teach you a lesson. Just give in.”
Hearing those words only made her struggle even more fiercely. In her panic, she accidentally scratched Wang Popi’s face until it bled.
A sharp pain shot across his face. When his fingers touched the warm, sticky liquid and saw the blood, his fury exploded. He raised his hand and slapped her viciously across the face, sending her crashing to the ground. The back of her head struck the wall with a heavy thud, and she immediately lost consciousness.
At that exact moment, Shen Zhouzhou transmigrated into the body.
Her entire body burned with unbearable heat, and her consciousness was already hazy.
She saw an old man pawing at her. Although her body felt limp and weak, years of training took over instinctively. With a swift shoulder throw, she sent Wang Popi flying, knocking him unconscious. Seeing him collapse, she dared not stay any longer and stumbled out of the house.
Before transmigrating, as the only daughter in her family, her relatives had always worried about her safety. Ever since she was little, they had enrolled her in countless training classes, including taekwondo, swordsmanship, painting, piano, and many other skills. She had excelled in every one of them.
Still dazed, Shen Zhouzhou did not even realize that the world around her had completely changed.
She staggered out of the house, feeling unbearably miserable. She knew she had to find a way to counter the drug as quickly as possible, otherwise the effects would overwhelm her completely.
She noticed a nearby door standing slightly ajar and pushed it open. Through her blurred vision, she saw a handsome man inside the room. By then, the drug had fully taken hold. Without another thought, she walked straight over and wrapped her arms around him.
And thus came the scene from the beginning, when passion overtook them…
After absorbing all of the original Shen Zhouzhou’s memories, she quickly accepted the fact that she had transmigrated.
The original owner had most likely died from Wang Popi’s vicious slap, and she had happened to transmigrate into the body at that very moment.
She was not the original Shen Zhouzhou. She would never endure humiliation without fighting back. She had always believed in repaying every grievance. No one was allowed to bully her.
Don’t worry. I’ll avenge you.
Shen Zhouzhou silently made the promise to the original owner, considering it repayment for borrowing her body.
Since she was already here, she might as well make the best of it.
She looked around the room once more.
The room was tiny and cramped, with crude earthen walls. A portrait of the Great Leader hung on the wall, and the old wooden table was battered and worn.
There was no doubt about it.
She had transmigrated into the economically planned era of the 1970s.
Her gaze shifted back to the man lying beside her as she considered what to do next.
This man had every single feature she found attractive.
His sleeping face was cold and handsome, his sharply sculpted features seemingly carved to perfection. Even with his eyes closed, he gave off an unmistakable sense of aloofness.
Her gaze drifted lower, landing on the powerful muscles before her…
“Have you seen enough?”
Chu Yunli suddenly opened his deep, dark eyes, teasing her with a playful smile. His gaze was intensely commanding as he looked straight into her eyes.
At the same time, he quietly observed Shen Zhouzhou.
Her features were exquisitely delicate. Her skin was as smooth as cream, rosy beneath its fair complexion, so soft it seemed as though the slightest touch would leave a mark. There were also the traces he had left on her, along with bruises from an earlier beating that covered patches of her skin in shades of blue and purple.
For some reason, seeing those marks made him suddenly feel like a complete beast. How could he have been so rough? He should have been gentler. Then again, he had completely lost control of himself.
Her foxlike phoenix eyes carried a lazy, cunning charm that struck directly at his heart, like invisible hooks that refused to let him go.
She was incredibly thin, so much so that calling her skin and bones would hardly be an exaggeration, likely the result of years of malnutrition. Yet the places that ought to be soft were anything but lacking.
Well…
He had personally confirmed that, so he was the most qualified person to comment.
This young woman seemed to have been born precisely according to his ideal standards. There was not a single part of her that he disliked.
If Shen Zhouzhou knew what he was thinking, she would definitely reply, “Well, thanks for that!”
A playful smile curved Chu Yunli’s lips as he slowly sat up and unhurriedly began putting on his clothes.
The moment she heard him speak, Shen Zhouzhou’s face flushed crimson.
Before transmigrating, she had been a doctor. She had seen countless cadavers, performed every kind of surgery imaginable, and even watched plenty of suggestive videos from the twenty-first century. Yet facing a real naked man for the first time still made her blush uncontrollably, and she immediately turned her back to avoid looking at him.
The military uniform seemed tailor made for Chu Yunli. Every button was neatly fastened all the way to the top, giving him the restrained elegance of a man who radiated disciplined self control. Standing tall as a pine tree, his sharp eyes resembled those of an eagle. The crisp uniform blended perfectly with his naturally cold temperament, making him the very image of a striking military officer. He was so handsome that it was difficult to look away.
“If your curiosity has been satisfied, perhaps we can discuss the important matter now.”
His tone was firm and unquestionable, yet still perfectly courteous.
Discuss it now? While we’re both half dressed?
Seriously, do you think that’s appropriate?
Shen Zhouzhou quickly wrapped herself in the blanket, utterly embarrassed.
“Could you hand me my clothes?”
She gestured toward him with her eyes.
Chu Yunli also realized the situation was rather inappropriate. He immediately picked up her clothes from the floor, handed them to her, and silently turned around to give her some privacy.
“Hiss… It hurts! You jerk!”
At that moment, Shen Zhouzhou no longer cared about being shy. Enduring the pain, she hurriedly got dressed while grumbling at the man before her. Even though she had been the one to initiate it, she had only done so because she had been drugged. She was a victim too.
Chu Yunli froze for a moment. Once he understood what she meant, his face immediately reddened, though his dark complexion concealed most of the color.
“I’m sorry. I hurt you.”
The apology was sincere.
It really wasn’t entirely his fault. The army was full of rough men, and he had hardly interacted with women before. Naturally, he had never realized women could be so delicate and fragile.
How was she supposed to respond to that?
Was she really supposed to say, “It’s alright. I know you didn’t mean to”?
The awkwardness made her wish she could disappear on the spot.
