“Hot…”
Inside a room filled with the distinctive atmosphere of the 1980s, the lighting was dim.
The man frowned deeply. He had already taken off his shirt, revealing a white undershirt typical of the era. His long, slender fingers, with their distinct knuckles, were busy unfastening his belt.
He was tall and long-legged, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His facial features were sharply defined, with a high nose bridge and thin lips. Under the dim yellow light, his eyes looked hazy, and his breathing was heavy.
As the belt came undone, his trousers loosened and slipped down, revealing his lean waist and a pair of dark gray briefs.
Zhong Yi took one look and hurriedly closed her eyes, her face burning.
Good heavens!
Wait a minute! Was this something she could watch for free?
Zhong Yi felt terribly dizzy.
The senior she had secretly loved for years had actually married a wealthy, overweight woman in her forties. The devastating blow had left Zhong Yi declaring that she would never believe in love again.
To comfort her, her best friend had spent a fortune booking a male model at a nightclub to cheer her up.
At first, Zhong Yi had refused. After all, she was a respectable woman!
But nobody had told her before they came that the male models at nightclubs could be of such exceptional quality. In terms of looks, physique, and even size, this man was no less impressive than any of the most popular male celebrities.
While Zhong Yi was still dazed, the man had already stripped down to his underwear and leaned toward her.
“Can you hurry up?”
Hmm?
Looking at the handsome face right in front of her, Zhong Yi desperately tried to retrieve a shred of clarity from her muddled mind.
Wait! She had only wanted to take a look. At most, she might have touched his firm abs a little. She had never intended to go all the way!
“Wait, hold on…”
The man didn’t listen. Unable to reach her lips, he moved downward, leaving scorching kisses along her slender neck.
The temperature in the room steadily climbed, and the air filled with an unmistakably intimate atmosphere.
Zhong Yi’s eyes grew hazy, and her remaining self-control was hanging by a thread.
Love? Did such a thing even exist?
Of course, the main reason was that this male model was simply far too proactive. She had only been distracted for a few seconds, yet the man had kept his mouth busy while his hands were equally occupied. They had already reached her chest, where he began unfastening the buttons of her shirt.
The last thread of restraint holding her back snapped.
Zhong Yi gave up struggling. Still, she felt embarrassed and buried her face against the man’s chest.
The man seemed to understand her signal. His entire body trembled, and even his breathing grew heavier.
Kisses descended upon her like a storm.
Zhong Yi felt like a fish lying on a chopping board, having lost all control over herself and left with no choice but to follow the man’s rhythm.
In her half-conscious state, her throat grew hoarse, and her entire body became too weak to muster even the slightest bit of strength.
Only one thought remained in her mind.
As expected of a male model! His stamina was incredible.
…
Dawn gradually broke. Sunlight filtered through the wooden lattice window, casting mottled shadows across the room.
Zhong Yi woke up because she was thirsty. When she opened her eyes, she discovered that the room was unusually quiet.
Her throat felt as though it were on fire. She had no idea what time it was, so she instinctively reached for her phone.
Instead, her outstretched hand touched something warm.
Zhong Yi was instantly wide awake. She hurriedly sat up, only to fall back onto the bed because every part of her body ached.
Wait a minute! What exactly was going on?
Zhong Yi was confused. Zhong Yi was dumbfounded. Zhong Yi was utterly stunned.
So she really had slept with the male model?
Just then, muffled voices came from outside.
“Isn’t he here either? Where on earth did he go?”
Zhong Yi’s mind went blank for a moment.
Wait, she had never realized that the house she had bought for two million yuan was so poorly soundproofed!
She could even hear the neighbors talking. Wasn’t that ridiculous?
Forget it. Whatever was happening at the neighbors’ house had nothing to do with her. The most urgent matter was dealing with the man lying beside her.
After thinking it over, Zhong Yi noticed that the man was sleeping soundly. She decided to wake him up first.
But just then, an intense wave of dizziness struck her, forcing her to lie back down.
She breathed heavily as enormous waves of memories surged through her mind like a rising tide.
So…
She had transmigrated into a novel?!
She remembered reading a novel not long ago. It had left a particularly deep impression on her because one of the tragic female supporting characters had exactly the same name as her.
The supporting character had a fiancé named Liang Feng.
Liang’s family was desperately poor and relied entirely on financial assistance from the female character’s family. Without their support, Liang Feng would never have been able to finish university and successfully become a doctor after graduation.
Who would have thought that Liang Feng would fall for Meng Lina, the hospital director’s daughter?
Worse still, he was a complete hypocrite. He didn’t want people accusing him of abandoning his country fiancée because he had become wealthy or was looking for a better match.
So, after returning home, he began making grand promises to his mother, Liang Feng told her that if he married the director’s daughter, his career would flourish, and she would eventually enjoy a comfortable life.
Liang’s mother was a woman without much of her own judgment. Her son easily talked her around.
After discussing it, the mother and son came up with a scheme. The main idea had been Liang Feng’s. They planned to set a trap that would rob Zhong Yi of her chastity, giving him an excuse to break off their engagement.
Their plan required the cooperation of a man.
The male protagonist of the novel, Zhou Shu, was the unfortunate man selected for the role.
Zhou Shu was a soldier who had returned home on leave. As it happened, his grandfather was celebrating his eightieth birthday, so Zhou Shu had returned to the countryside to attend the celebration.
Liang’s mother was a villager who had come over to help with the preparations. Taking advantage of the opportunity, she secretly drugged the alcohol Zhou Shu drank.
Although Zhou Shu was the male protagonist and immediately realized that something was wrong with the drink, he was helpless against the drug’s effects.
After all, Liang Feng was a doctor himself and had modified the drug’s formula. It was unusually potent and acted with terrifying speed.
Zhou Shu had originally planned to go to the river behind the mountain and immerse himself in the water to cool himself down.
As fate would have it, the female supporting character—Zhong Yi—happened to pass by.
And so, fueled by the circumstances, the two ended up spending a passionate night together.
According to Liang Feng’s original plan, he intended to catch them in bed the following morning. That would give him a legitimate excuse to call off his engagement to Zhong Yi.
However, something went wrong.
At some point during the night, the female supporting character suddenly regained consciousness. She thought the situation was far too humiliating and worried that her fiancé, Liang Feng, would despise her if he found out.
Overwhelmed and at a loss, she secretly left.
That single decision completely changed the course of her life.
Because Zhong Yi had left, another young woman named Gu Qingtang ended up benefiting from the situation.
Gu Qingtang’s father had been a police officer who died while working undercover. After his death, the Zhou family took her in and raised her.
Worried because Zhou Shu had been missing all night, Gu Qingtang went out to look for him. Instead, she discovered Zhou Shu lying on a bed without his clothes. She also noticed several spots of blood on the sheets.
She immediately understood what had happened.
Seeing that no one else was around, she made an extremely bold decision.
She stripped off her clothes and climbed into bed beside him. To make the act more convincing, she even went so far as to lose her virginity.
Early the following morning, Liang Feng deliberately led the villagers to the room, where they caught the two in bed together.
This time, the scandal became impossible to contain.
The male protagonist was no fool. He quickly realized that someone had plotted against him, and Liang’s mother was exposed as the person who had drugged him.
To protect her son’s future, she took full responsibility and shouldered all the blame.
However, an even more complicated problem soon emerged.
From Zhou Shu’s perspective, Gu Qingtang was innocent, and he had ruined her reputation and chastity.
Gu Qingtang was also extremely skilled at manipulating the situation. She jumped into the river, using her actions to demonstrate that she had no intention of forcing the Zhou family to take responsibility for what had happened.
Her gesture moved not only Zhou Shu but also the entire Zhou family. They all came to regard her as a righteous and considerate young woman.
In the end, Gu Qingtang successfully married the male protagonist.
With her interference, nobody ever discovered that the tragic female supporting character, Zhong Yi, had been involved in the incident as well.
Feeling that she had lost her chastity and wronged Liang Feng, Zhong Yi voluntarily broke off their engagement.
In a roundabout way, Liang Feng’s scheme succeeded.
Everyone thought the matter had finally come to an end.
But four months later, the female supporting character suddenly fainted while working. After being examined, she was found to be four months pregnant.
And she was carrying twins!
Unable to bear the thought of aborting the babies, Zhong Yi moved into a dilapidated house in the village. There, she gave birth to the twins and raised both children alone.
Eventually, through a series of coincidences, the male protagonist’s grandfather noticed that one of the children looked remarkably like Zhou Shu had when he was young.
After investigating the matter thoroughly, the long-delayed truth finally came to light.
Gu Qingtang was thrown out of the Zhou family, and the two children were finally acknowledged and taken back into the family.
But it was already too late for Zhong Yi.
Exhausted from years of hard work and hardship, the female supporting character died at a young age.
Zhong Yi remembered finishing the novel and leaving a furious, thousand-word negative review.
What kind of ridiculous plot was this? What had this poor female supporting character done to deserve such a miserable fate?
So, had she transmigrated into the novel simply because she had criticized the author?
Was there any justice in the world?!
Zhong Yi glanced at the man still sleeping soundly beside her.
As expected of the male protagonist! His profile was as if carved by a sculptor, his features sharp and well-defined, and his nose high and straight.
Zhong Yi gritted her teeth in anger.
What an idiot of a male protagonist! At a time like this, and you’re still sleeping? Were you a pig in your previous life?
Without another word, she lifted her aching right leg.
Even such a simple movement made her suck in several sharp breaths from the pain.
Zhong Yi clenched her teeth.
Just how much strength had this man used to wear her out like this?!
It hurt so much!
Suppressing the soreness, Zhong Yi took aim at the man beside her. With a little bit of a vengeful streak, she summoned all her strength and kicked him as hard as she could.
Thud!
Zhou Shu rolled straight off the bed and onto the floor.
The sudden sensation of falling jolted him awake.
He slowly opened his eyes.
