[The Jinjiang Anti-Angst System verification is successful. The player will be transported into Heartbreaking Tragedy. The player may choose one cheat ability within three seconds: A. Lovely Smile; B. Sweet Appearance; C. Honeyed Voice; D…]
Jiang Tian, dazed and disoriented from a car accident, suddenly heard a prompt in her mind. Using the last of her strength, she tapped the final, blurry option on the list.
A message instantly popped up on the interface—
[Cheat ability successfully bound. Jinjiang Anti-Angst System activated. Entering Tragic Novel Mode in ten minutes. We wish you a pleasant gaming experience.]
Jiang Tian had no strength left and lost consciousness.
…
[A cold, stern man viciously gripped her neck with one hand. “Jiang Tian, you bitch. How dare you drug me?”]
[Next, the female lead knelt on the ground, tears glistening in her eyes, utterly heartbroken, sobbing and pleading, “It really wasn’t me, I didn’t do it…”]
[Yet, the male lead was furious beyond measure, harshly throwing a card at her. He said coldly, “Don’t let me see you again. You disgust me!”]
“…”
Jiang Tian’s eyelids twitched violently. What kind of act was this?
Why were such scenes playing in her head? And that female lead, crying prettily enough to rival the tragic heroines from Hong Kong-Taiwan novels of a decade ago, was wearing her own damn face!
Consciousness snapped back abruptly.
Jiang Tian opened her eyes and was horrified to see that the scene just flashing in her mind was happening right before her, exactly the same.
The man standing in front of her was precisely the male lead from her vision.
However, the difference was—maybe she was seeing things—a small, golden, bean-sized dot flew out from her abdomen and into another person’s body, finally settling in that person’s lower belly.
“…”
For a moment, Jiang Tian couldn’t process it. Wasn’t she on her way to a bar when an anti-fan hit her with a car? Why was she now in a hotel room, with a naked man standing before her? Was that car accident just a dream? And what were those strange images in her head?
Jiang Tian was stunned, with no time to think it through, because there was a more urgent situation at hand—she seemed to have slept with an unknown man?
If footage got out, it would be a fatal blow to a top female celebrity!
She could imagine tomorrow’s headlines with her eyes closed—”Innocent Queen Jiang Tian Has Drunken One-Night Stand.”
In a panic, Jiang Tian didn’t even bother getting dressed properly. Wrapping herself in a blanket, she swiftly searched the room but found nothing. Anxious, her eyes turned cold.
She stared at the man before her, glancing at his stomach.
Oddly, she could still see that little golden dot.
Jiang Tian frowned and demanded, “Where’s the camera?”
As soon as she spoke, she felt something was off but couldn’t pinpoint what.
Hearing this, the man’s face darkened further. His voice turned icy, and the look in his eyes seemed like he wanted to kill her. “Jiang Tian! You even set up a camera? What exactly are you trying to do?!”
“…”
Jiang Tian was bewildered. This line was exactly the same as the one from her vision.
However…
“Are you out of your mind? Me, threatening you? Hurry up and tell me, where’s the camera? Who put you up to this? What dirt do you have on me, and how much are you planning to extort? Just name your price.”
Jiang Tian scanned the room and spotted a wallet on the dressing table. She pulled out a card from it and flung it at the man’s face.
“Won’t talk, huh? Take this card! Don’t let me see you again! And if today’s incident gets out, or if any photos of me surface, I will end you!”
Jiang Tian shot the man a fierce glare, put on her clothes, and stormed out.
Gu Jinyan, who had just been hit in the face with his own supplementary credit card by his fiancée, was dumbfounded for a few seconds before his expression turned stormy.
…
Once outside the hotel, Jiang Tian felt her legs go weak.
She casually grabbed two tissues to cover her face, worried about being recognized by anti-fans or die-hard fans. But after walking a while, she realized no one was paying her any attention.
Puzzled, Jiang Tian tentatively lowered the tissues from her face, but still, no one noticed her.
Only a few people glanced her way, their eyes showing admiration for her looks.
But it wasn’t the excitement and frenzy that would normally accompany spotting the “Innocent Queen” herself.
“Since when has I, Jiang Da Tiantian, become so unmarketable? Have my popularity dropped recently? Am I not showing my face enough? Or has some little schemer replaced me?”
Jiang Tian grumbled, but as she heard her own voice, she suddenly froze in place.
Unbelieving, she touched her throat and tried making a few sounds—”Ahem, haha, la la la”—and felt increasingly that something was off!
This was definitely not her voice. Her original voice was sweet and sugary, but now it was crisp and cool, with a distinct edge.
She had suspected something earlier, but she’d brushed it off as an illusion. However, that clearly wasn’t the case.
Jiang Tian turned to look at her reflection in the polished hotel lobby pillar and was instantly stunned.
The face staring back wasn’t hers at all. Though there was an 80% resemblance, the features and nose had transformed from sweet and soft to sharply defined. When not speaking, there was even a touch of striking allure.
Suddenly, a “ding” sound—a system notification—rang out.
[Comeback Mission #Hoping the Naïve Sweetheart Gets Used Then Discarded with Money and Insults, Told to Get Lost# completed. Player has received one Mission Medal and one Optimization Point. Optimization Points can be used to enhance any of the player’s skills. One point can only be used for one optimization. Please use wisely.]
“Who? Who’s there?”
[This is the Jinjiang Mission System, not a person. If there’s nothing else, dear, please don’t randomly poke the system; the system is very busy. Rewards have been delivered. Please continue to work hard. Next Comeback Mission: #Hoping the Naïve Sweetheart Gets Transported into a Tragic Novel, Forced by the Male Lead to Have an Abortion, Then Have Her Uterus Removed Afterward# Completion Reward: Three Optimization Points.]
“What kind of nonsense is this?”
Jiang Tian’s eyes widened in disbelief.
She was starting to feel that the situation before her was getting more and more bizarre.
This system notification voice sounded familiar.
It resembled the one she heard before losing consciousness.
And the words “Jinjiang” also looked very familiar.
Last night, before heading to the bar, she had seen a trending topic on Weibo: #Hoping Naïve Sweetheart Queen Jiang Tian Gets Transported into the Tragic Novel “Heartbreaking Tragedy” to Suffer Physical and Emotional Torment#.
The gist was that an anti-fan who wrote web novels, disliking Jiang Tian, decided to start a tragic novel starring Jiang Tian called “Heartbreaking Tragedy,” soliciting various curses from fellow anti-fans—things like being dumped, forced abortions, unrequited love, kneeling on broken glass, and other forms of physical and emotional torture.
Unable to hold back, she logged in with a side account and replied: 【Even if I got transported into a tragic novel, I, Queen Da Tiantian, would still be sweet enough to melt the earth’s core, make scumbags grovel at my feet, and torment them to death.】
Later, a green webpage pop-up labeled “Jinjiang” appeared, showing a successful binding notification.
Then, on her way to the bar, she was hit by a car and sent flying. And just before losing consciousness, she seemed to have pressed some kind of significant option?
…
Jiang Tian stood dazed for two seconds, then pulled out her phone to check a certain social media platform.
She scrolled for a long time but couldn’t find that trending topic. Searching for keywords like “Jiang Tian” or “Naïve Sweetheart Queen” yielded no related information either.
The only thing hotly promoted was the upcoming naïve sweetheart idol drama “See You There,” but nothing else.
She checked other information.
Only then did she realize that this world had the same background setting as her previous one.
Some people she used to know were also following their life trajectories from three years ago.
Except for her—Jiang Tian!
Jiang Tian stood frozen for several minutes before she grasped one thing.
She had really been transported due to an anti-fan’s curse!
And not just anywhere—into a fan-made, ultra-tragic novel where she was the female lead!
She would sleep with someone, get dumped, humiliated, become pregnant, be forced into an abortion, have her uterus removed, lose a kidney, kneel on broken glass, be abandoned, and end up with nothing…
Jiang Tian: …
There’s an MMF phrase she wasn’t sure she should say.
