[I initially thought she was merely harboring resentment. After all, my adoptive mother, Su Yun, had taken advantage of her situation, which was indeed somewhat disgraceful.
But I never imagined that the reason she refused to share a room with me was because she still harbored feelings for her childhood sweetheart ,her unforgettable love.
Mu Feier's childhood sweetheart was named Ye Feng, the Chosen One of the Sky Dome Continent.
More than ten years ago, during the chaos in Pingnan City, the Ye family was destroyed and Ye Feng disappeared. Mu Feier searched for him for over a decade, and even during the three years of our marriage, she frequently used the excuse of going on training trips to look for him.]
Seeing this, Su Qi became furious.
To be precise, it wasn't Su Qi himself who was angry but rather, a surge of emotion rose from within him.
It was the lingering consciousness of the original owner.
Understandably so. After all, who could accept that their wife still had feelings for another man?
[Soon, the missing Ye Feng would regain his memories and return from Tianfu Ancient Capital in the Southern Region to join the Qingyun Sect. During a training expedition, I would encounter him. Mistaking me for a woman, he would attempt to pursue me, intending to use me to cultivate the Chaos Yin-Yang Technique.]
Su Qi: …
What do you mean by mistaking me for a woman?
Is he blind?
How could anyone mistake me when I'm clearly a grown man?
Indignant, Su Qi searched through his memories and found the method to open the storage ring.
Inside, he discovered a mirror.
Looking at his reflection, he hesitated.
Uh… how should I put this?
Su Qi suddenly understood how his adoptive mother had raised her "daughter" for more than ten years before discovering the truth.
Holy crap.
It was no exaggeration to say that even Su Qi. a seasoned veteran of the dating scene had never seen a girl with such a beautiful face.
For a fleeting moment, even his hardened heart wavered.
Holy crap… I've fallen for myself?
Suddenly, he understood why Su Yun had wanted to secure a powerful backer for the original owner before her death.
With looks like these, without protection, danger could appear at any moment.
Su Qi eyes returned to the scroll as he read on.
[Unfortunately, Su Yun likely never imagined that this marriage would not become protection, but rather a death sentence.
At the time, I didn't know he was Mu Feier's childhood sweetheart and unrequited love. I explained that I was a man, and the scene caused many onlookers to laugh at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng became furious and humiliated, believing I had deliberately deceived him and made him lose face. From that moment on, he bore a grudge against me.]
What?
Ah??
Ah???
Su Qi was completely baffled.
He held a grudge already?
Wasn't this simply a case of mistaken identity?
How could he blame others?
So this was the Chosen One?
Was heaven blind?...
[Perhaps it was fate, but when Ye Feng returned to Pingnan City to pay respects to his family, he and Mu Feier finally reunited after many years apart, and their feelings deepened.]
Upon seeing this, Su Qi felt his hands tremble uncontrollably.
He silently mourned for the original owner for 0.3 seconds, doesn't this mean he has been Cuckold? Su Qi in his past like could never fall into this.
[Ye Feng seized the opportunity to propose rekindling their relationship, but Mu Feier told him she was already married and could not betray him due to his past kindness toward the Mu family
After they parted, Ye Feng quickly discovered that I was the one who had married Mu Feier, which only fueled his hatred further.
Ye Feng secretly investigated and learned that I would soon be traveling. He set a trap along the road…
And I died.]
Seeing the last words of the paragraph Su qi dropped his eyes as he clicked his tongue.
No wonder they're called cannon-fodder villains, they die so easily.
Su Qi suddenly felt a trace of unease.
Now that he had taken over this body, he would soon be targeted by the Chosen One.
Was it still possible to divorce Mu Feier in time?
After thinking it over, Su Qi realized it was already too late.
Given the protagonist's petty and narrow-minded nature even divorce would not stop him from targeting the man who had once shared the female's lead bed.
But text on the scroll did not end there as more words were formed.
" Huh, still not over?".., Su Qi raise his eyebrow
[My soul did not dissipate after death. Senior Sister Yunyi quickly found my body. I was puzzled to see her holding my corpse and wailing. Our relationship had always been ordinary; she had never even spared me a glance before. Why was she crying so bitterly now?
Senior Sister Yunyi, whose full name was Du Yunyi, was the current sect leader of the Yunmiao Immortal Sect and the second daughter of the Empress of the Women's Kingdom.
Senior Sister Yunyi brought my body back to the Yunmiao Immortal Sect.
Mu Feier's reaction to news of my death was indifferent.
The sect held a funeral and buried me beside my mother.
As expected, shortly after my death, without me as an obstacle, Mu Feier and Ye Feng were free to be together.
They embraced within a sea of flowers, rowed boats across the lake, and on Mu Feier's face, I saw a smile I had never witnessed before.
I thought everyone had forgotten me , that no one cared how I died.
To my surprise, Senior Sister Yunyi had not forgotten.
She even uncovered the truth behind my death.
Senior Sister Yunyi found the two deeply in love and intended to kill Ye Feng to avenge me. Even with evidence before her, Mu Feier refused to believe Ye Feng had killed me and desperately protected him.
Senior Sister Yunyi realized that Ye Feng killed me because of Mu Feier, and in a fit of rage, she wanted to kill them both. Just as she was about to succeed, she was stopped. The one who intervened was Ye Feng's master , the other destined heroine, Ruo Bingli].
The following section contained a lengthy account of how Du Yunyi sought to avenge the original owner of this body.
In the end, it naturally failed, and she lost her life in the process.
The one who killed Du Yunyi was Ruo Bingli.
This woman had actually concealed her cultivation level. On the surface, she appeared to be a Nascent Soul cultivator, but in reality, she was a Divine Transformation Realm expert.
An attack from a Nascent Soul cultivator could already touch the soul, yet Du Yunyi was struck with such overwhelming force that her soul scattered completely.
The death of Princess Du Yunyi inevitably led to the subsequent downfall of the Women's Kingdom.
Su Qi couldn't help but suspect that this world was like a novel , the younger generation being defeated, prompting the older generation to step in, and then even stronger figures appearing one after another, like nested dolls.
Wasn't this "experience package delivery"
For the protagonists. A tactical classic online novel trope?
The final outcome was tragic. The entire force was annihilated, and the original owner's soul, filled with resentment and bitterness, entered the cycle of reincarnation.
But just as he was about to be reincarnated, he heard a mysterious voice.
That voice struck a deal with him.
It would help the original owner be reborn, and in return, the original owner would assist it , guiding the female protagonists of this world to defy their destiny.
Simply put, he needed to make the destined heroines turn against the righteous Chosen One… turning them into villains.
Thus, that being bestowed upon the original owner a special physique, allowing his cultivation to increase whenever he caused a heroine to fall from her destined path.
However, when the being attempted to arrange the original owner's rebirth, another unknown entity interfered, and the original owner's soul was obliterated.
As compensation, it pulled Su Qi who had been sent flying by the truck into this world.
The scroll in my hand is compensation from that being. Only when someone else holds this scroll can i obtain information about it.
The scroll is bound to Su Qi. Even if taken by another person, it will automatically return to his side, and only he can see the information written upon it.
Just as Su Qi was intrigued by everything. Another set of text popped up on the scroll..
[If you are willing to take the place of the original owner and continue this transaction, please drip your blood onto the scroll]
Upon reading this, Su Qi finally understood.
Both he and the original owner were merely pawns in a game played by an unknown entity and more so, the unknown entity must also been pawns by a higher being. Maybe they were all just characters in a book.
"That was really… exciting."
