The stars sparkled brightly, and a crescent moon hung in the sky.
Lin City. Inside the villa district.
Late at night, one villa was still brightly lit.
Shen Qingqing slowly opened her eyes. She reached up and yanked off the red bridal veil on her head, then looked around at the exquisitely decorated surroundings.
Not bad. A modern setting.
[Host, please prepare to receive the memories.]
“Stop! I refuse to accept them!” Shen Qingqing pressed her red lips together slightly.
She had originally been a retired veteran employee in the fast-transmigration world. Just when she had finally begun enjoying a good life surrounded by three thousand handsome men, the system dragged her back into this small world again.
“I’m already retired and you still want me to do missions?”
[Host, this is a low-quality mission world. We’re seriously short on staff… so…]
[This plane will give you extra pay!] No. 06 sounded a little guilty.
Shen Qingqing’s eyes lit up. Extra pay?
Alright then. She smiled. [Fine. Send the plot.]
[Ding! World summary: “The Fake Heiress and the CEO Who Love and Fight Each Other.”
Mission requirements:
Obtain happiness and reverse the tragic fate.
Take revenge and reclaim your mother’s inheritance.
Conquer the villain, Lu Qianshan.
World plot…
After a while, Shen Qingqing opened her eyes again.
This was an old-school CEO romance world, and she was the unlucky cannon-fodder female supporting character in the novel the emotional catalyst that pushed the male and female leads’ relationship forward.
According to the plot, the original owner of this body, who served as a contrast to the female lead, would eventually commit suicide by jumping into the sea after suffering a series of humiliations.
Right now, as the true heiress, she had been brought from the countryside into the city and forced to marry the male lead’s uncle, Lu Qianshan, who was in a vegetative state.
And he was also the ultimate villain of the story.
Thinking of this, Shen Qingqing turned her head and looked at the unconscious Lu Qianshan lying on the bed.
His face looked as though it had been carved by a blade. His features were sharp and defined, like an angel emerging slowly from quiet serenity.
Shen Qingqing couldn’t help feeling surprised. She had traveled through countless worlds and seen thousands upon thousands of men, but someone this handsom this was the first time.
She touched her own face, feeling slightly inferior.
Then she quickly removed the heavy wedding dress she was wearing and stood up.
Leaning down, her delicate hand slipped open Lu Qianshan’s clothes.
Her beautiful eyes paused, and she muttered softly, “Nice muscle tone.”
She ran her hands over him, pressing several acupuncture points before finally withdrawing her hand and silently counting down in her heart: “3…2…1.”
Lu Qianshan’s consciousness was still hazy, repeatedly replaying the tragedy in his mind. Suddenly, a cool sensation descended, like little hands from an icy cave kneading his body.
He was pulled out of the chaotic memories of the car accident.
His eyes flickered open slightly and the first thing he saw was the beautiful face of a woman.
Who was this?
Hadn’t he been in a car accident?
Shen Qingqing quietly watched him and said calmly, “You’re awake.”
The next second.
Shen Qingqing suddenly felt herself choking.
Lu Qianshan’s large hand clamped tightly around her slender neck.
Damn it! As expected of a villain!
Shen Qingqing cursed inwardly but wasn’t worried. Her eyes quickly reddened as she looked pitifully into Lu Qianshan’s bloodshot gaze.
Lu Qianshan’s Adam’s apple moved, and the strength in his hand loosened.
Shen Qingqing fell backward but just then another large hand caught her delicate fingers. Her eyes flickered, and she stumbled toward the bed, nearly falling straight into Lu Qianshan’s chest.
At that moment, Lu Qianshan’s heart trembled. His gaze sharpened and he steadied her.
But his hand inevitably brushed against the woman’s soft, slender waist.
As if he had touched fire, he quickly withdrew his hand.
Shen Qingqing reacted swiftly and grabbed his hand.
This hand is really cold, she thought to herself. Then she lifted it, about to press it against her face.
Lu Qianshan suddenly pulled his hand back. Shen Qingqing staggered two steps and caught herself by holding onto the bed.
Looking at the woman coughing while gripping the bedside, Lu Qianshan suppressed the strange feeling in his chest and asked coldly, “Speak. Who are you?”
“Of course I’m your newlywed wife.” Shen Qingqing saw that acting weak was useless, and since some of her strength had returned, she sneered at Lu Qianshan.
“I’m the Shen family’s real daughter, Shen Qingqing. You were a vegetable before lying in bed for three years. It was me who saved you!”
A ripple stirred in Lu Qianshan’s heart.
He had been ambushed and then gotten into a car accident. Yet overnight, he woke up to find that he suddenly had a wife.
Shen Qingqing said she had saved him. Part of him found it believable, part of him found it ridiculous.
In the end, the one who saved him wasn’t his so-called family members but a strange woman he had never met before.
Lu Qianshan frowned slightly, feeling a hint of guilt about what had just happened. His tone softened.
“The Shen family had a marriage agreement with Lu Kai.”
Lu Kai was the male lead of the novel.
“Lu Kai is healthy. You were a vegetable. And I’m the real daughter no one likes. Guess why it was me who married you?”
Shen Qingqing looked at Lu Qianshan with a half-smile.
She knew she couldn’t back down now, or the conquest mission would definitely fail.
According to the plot, Lu Qianshan disliked people who cried and acted delicate.
That weak act wouldn’t work on him now. Besides, Shen Qingqing didn’t really want to play the innocent white-lotus type anyway.
As she spoke, Shen Qingqing slowly stood up and walked around the room in high heels. Since she had removed the wedding dress, she was only wearing a thin nightgown, revealing her graceful figure.
Lu Qianshan leaned against the headboard. In the dim light, his black sleepwear hung open slightly at the collar, revealing his firm bronze skin.
Shen Qingqing swallowed unconsciously and slowly approached him.
“Do you know? There are still other toxins in your body. If you don’t continue treatment, there’s only one outcome death.”
“Will you consider letting me continue treating you?”
What Shen Qingqing said was half true. Lu Qianshan had indeed been poisoned, but it wouldn’t kill him in the short term.
Lu Qianshan’s eyes darkened. From the shadows he watched Shen Qingqing standing in the light. Her alluring gaze made him momentarily distracted.
After a moment, he said, “Why should I believe you?”
“Because…” Shen Qingqing walked up to him, bent down, and placed her red lips close to his ear. Her breath was warm and fragrant as she whispered:
“Because I can create a medical miracle and wake you up my former uncle-in-law, and now… my husband.”
Her tone was soft and teasing.
According to the original engagement, her fiancé should have been Lu Kai, so she would have called Lu Qianshan “uncle.”
But naturally, the Lu family didn’t want their rising star Lu Kai to marry into the Shen family.
So the marriage partner was temporarily changed to the vegetative Lu Qianshan.
Lu Qianshan, however, was thinking quietly.
After waking up, he had sorted through the chaotic memories following the accident. Even though he had been a vegetable and unable to move, his consciousness had still been able to receive outside information.
Forced discharge from the hospital.
Moved to a shabby villa.
Used as a substitute groom…
Every detail proved one thing:
The Lu family had abandoned him.
And now, every move he made would be under the Lu family’s watchful eyes.
Thinking of this, Lu Qianshan narrowed his eyes. Fortunately, he had arranged hidden allies; otherwise, he might have already been eliminated.
“Heh.” Lu Qianshan suddenly let out a cold laugh.
Shen Qingqing could hear the hatred in it. The Lu family had reached its current scale entirely thanks to Lu Qianshan’s management yet they treated him like this.
Seeing the timing was right, Shen Qingqing said:
“I’m a substitute bride, and you’re a substitute groom. We’re both people fallen from the same fate why bother caring whether we knew each other before?”
“So, what do you think?”
“Fine.”
In the quiet room, Lu Qianshan’s cold voice sounded again.
“But you must guarantee you can cure me. Otherwise…”
Shen Qingqing finished the sentence for him:
“Then I’ll bear the consequences myself.”
