Lu Wanwan who woke up at the sound of a piercing noise had her slender wrist held tightly by someone : ” Divorce ! You have to divorce Shen Yi, a poor and shabby fellow like him dares to pull a long face in front of you ? Why doesn’t he look inside the mirror to see what type of thing he is ? ”

The tone of the beautiful woman in front of her was indignant. She went on to say : ” Wanwan, look at how thin and pallid beyond recognition you became ! Your body is all bones and there are even bruises on your arms.”

Lu Wanwan slowly emerged from the bed and sat upright. Her eyes were lifeless for a while before she slowly regained focus, her line of sight gradually becoming clear. This room was her bedchamber in the Lu family.

Lu Wanwan wasn’t feeling good at all. She transmigrated inside a book and this was already the third time, she died twice before and still wasn’t able to get out of this book ?!

She transmigrated inside a rich and handsome businessman-type novel called “The Rich Young Master’s Gentle Love”. This was an overly melodramatic, face-slapping distorted novel.

Lu Wanwan was the pampered and spoiled since childhood eldest daughter of the Lu family. She was very beautiful, with an oval-shaped face, fair complexion and big eyes and when she looked at you with her pitiful and wet eyes, people couldn’t help their heart turning soft.

The male lead Shen Yi was the young son of a rich family from the capital, which was left destitute outside of the family after his father had an affair. Shen Yi’s mother was very resentful about the affair and took him away secretly and then there was no more news of them.

The eldest miss Lu and the male lead met on their first year of high school. She was attracted to the male lead high and flower-like disposition. The seventeen-eighteen years-old male lead was very charming, his face was flawless and white like jade, his facial features were excellent and his complexion very fair. He had a pair of cold eyes, a high and straight nose and exquisite looks.

For the eldest miss Lu it was practically love at first sight. The first time she set her eyes on him, she was immediately fascinated by his appearance and disposition. She fell deeply in love, to the point where she couldn’t help herself.

The next day, the eldest miss Lu started to fiercely pursue the male lead. The male lead being the miserable young master who was left wandering outside naturally was very pitiful, not only was he living under poor conditions but he was also bullied by people at school.

After the eldest miss Lu offered him attention for a period of time, she was successful in pursuing the male lead as she wished. They stayed together until graduation and then they got married.

However, she was born and raised in luxury with fine clothes and exquisite meals and her real character wasn’t at all as innocent and simple as the one she displayed.

The eldest miss Lu was a one-hundred percent white lotus. Experiencing for a few months, alongside the male lead, a life of poverty, more and more she began to regard him as an eyesore. On top of that she befriended quite a few young talented men and thus started to seduce people everywhere she went. Every night she wouldn’t come home until very late in the night and sometimes she would not even come home at all.

Then after Shen Yi told Lu Wanwan that he quit his job at his original company, the eldest miss Lu started to look at him with disgust and brought up divorce without any reluctance.

Moreover when the male lead was at his worst, she colluded with her new lover and ruthlessly gave him a blow, she stole his project and bribed his colleague, forcing him to a dead-end.

But what she had yet to know at the time, was that Shen Yi had already been found and recognized by the Shen family which he reintegrated.

The male lead was originally a black ball of coal and Lu Wanwan simply became the catalyst to his blackening into carbon.

The him whose mentality was already very somber and twisted from his childhood, from this moment on, there was no more stopping him.

The male lead crushed to death the Lu family as he would insects, driving them to bankruptcy.

The eldest miss Lu could no longer live the luxurious and extravagant lifestyle she had before and she lived her days in poverty and sickness before dying alone.

When Lu Wanwan transmigrated for the first time inside the book, she wasn’t feeling nervous at all inside her heart because, at that time, the story had just reached the time when she began to pursue the male lead.

All the series of events that would lead to her death later on had yet to begin.

Lu Wanwan did her best to avoid these events. She diligently devoted her entire heart to the male lead, but later after they got married, the male lead locked her up inside their apartment.

As expected, it was impossible to understand the world of a mental case.

She was locked-up for more than a decade. She didn’t go out of the apartment even once. Every day she could only wait for him while wearing the white nightgown that he’d prepare for her.

Who could endure such a life ? Hence one night, Lu Wanwan drugged Shen Yi, she stole the key of the window which he had on him, took advantage of him being tipsy to open the window, closed her eyes and jumped down without any hesitation the more-than-ten-floor-high building.

(TL’s note : I’m only guessing that the word here is ” drugged “, because that part is censored in the raws.)

She originally thought that she could be free of this world inside the novel, but when she awoke, she realized that she was still inside this world.

The second time, the timeline also started from highschool when Lu Wanwan and the male lead were already lovers. She instilled the concepts of harmony and friendship in Shen Yi every day, attempting to use love and affection to reform his distorted character.

After graduating from college, when Shen Yi proposed marriage, Lu Wanwan refused without even thinking about it.

Then she was locked up again by Shen Yi, this time in a dark basement without any daylight.

The door of the room was locked tightly, and there wasn’t even a single window. Due to the lack of sun exposure for a prolonged period of time, her skin became so white that it almost seemed to glow.

Every time the slightest movement came from the door, she hid in the corner and curled up in fear.

Lu Wanwan remembered that she stayed in the basement for about two months, then she accidentally fell in the shower and fainted, and at that moment she thought she could finally be free of this broken book.

But she never expected that when she opened her eyes again, she would still be the same Lu Wanwan from “The Rich Young Master’s Gentle Love”! And that to top it all, she was already married to Shen Yi by this point in time !

She wanted to curse.

Stupid author ! Trash novel !

She took a long time to calm down, suppressing the urge to pick up a knife. Her eyes moved to the woman sitting on the edge of the bed. She opened her mouth, her voice still a little raspy, “Mom, there’s nothing wrong with me.”

When the Lu mother heard this, she became even more angry and lifted the hem of her dress. Pointing to the bruises on her body, she said: “Nothing? You call this fine? Look at the bruises on your body. I’ve never even hit you since you were little, but Shen Yi dares to treat you like this? He’s been scorning you and bullying you, tell me what kind of person you married huh?”

Of course, the bruises on Lu Wanwan’s body had nothing to do with Shen Yi, they were caused by the original body owner’s accidental fall down the steps when she was out drinking and looking for fun.

She lowered her head, her face pale and while timidly biting her lower lip, she made a face like she really had been bullied to death by Shen Yi.

She deliberately lowered her voice and said ambiguous words, “Mom, I don’t blame him.”

After her two previous experiences, Lu Wanwan already thought it through. It was better to follow the original plot of “The Rich Young Master’s Gentle Love”. What was wrong with having no money ? At least she could divorce the male lead, that mental case, and stay far far away from him. It was really good.

Lu Wanwan’s words were no different from adding oil to fire and the Lu mother’s face became livid from anger. Feeling disappointed and impatient, she poked her head with force. “How can you be so passive ? Based on your qualifications, even if you were to divorce, you could still pick any man you want in the future.”

Lu Wanwan squeezed out two fake tears and pulled her mother’s sleeve. “Mom, I love him, let me think about it again. I’m still a little tired, I want to sleep now.”

The Lu mother, seeing her sad face, also didn’t want to keep pushing her. “You rest first.”

“Mom, if tonight, Shen Yi……”

The way she looked like she had something to say but then stopped made it seem like she had something particularly hard to say.

“If he dares to come and pick you up tonight, I will definitely not let him into your room. Don’t worry, our Lu family’s baby, how can we let him bully ? I’ll sort him out for you.”

Lu Wanwan bit her lip, seemingly heartbroken. “No, don’t ! Don’t be too hard on him, the bruises on my body are not serious.”

Splashing dirty water was also a skill in itself. Three or two words let her mother completely misunderstand Shen Yi. It was really good.

The Lu mother interrupted her and said through gritted teeth. “Say no more, I have my own limits.”

After her mother went out, the exhaustion on Lu Wanwan’s face was swept away in a flash and her pair of eyes shone brightly. She rolled twice on the bed, so happy that she was about to laugh out loud.

This kind of life where you don’t have to live on edge being careful of the male lead’s mood, having to cajole him and spoil him, was really… really great! It was too nice!

*

It was winter. The trees planted in the yard were covered with layers of white snow. A breeze was blowing, shaking the branches, and snowflakes were fluttering down.

Lu Wanwan opened the window to breathe for a while. Her delicate little face was blown red by the wind. She stretched out her hand and icy cold snowflakes fell on her fingertips.

So the taste of freedom was sweet like that!

Lu Wanwan, in a good mood, closed the window and got back to rolling on her bed. She wrapped her little quilt tightly around her and had a nice nap.

She had a dream, but it was very unpleasant.

Inside the dream, she saw the apartment where she had been staying for more than ten years.

The bedroom, which was so dark that no light seemed able to penetrate into it, was slightly chilly, and the door, which was firmly shut, was suddenly opened from the outside.

The leather shoes landed on the floor with a crisp clatter.

The man stood by the door against the light, with his white skin and his dark pupils staring without blinking at her as she shrank on the bed.

He seemed to have just finished taking a shower, as crystal drops of water still dripped from the ends of his dark hair. He slowly walked in and sat on his knees at her side. His cool fingers gently clasped her chin, and with a light laugh, he said : ” You stay here for the rest of your life, okay?”

Then Lu Wanwan jolted awake, breaking out in a cold sweat.

The male lead was not human !!!

He was a mental case, with no salvation possible.

From downstairs came a slight rattling. Lu Wanwan stepped onto the ground with her bare feet and gently opened the door of the room to a slit. At this angle, nothing else could be seen except the corridor.

She walked barefoot on the carpet, without a sound.

From the second floor stairway where she stood, she could clearly see what was happening downstairs. Shen Yi was standing in the living room, he was probably just getting off work, as he was dressed in a suit. His face was expressionless.

But Shen Yi truly was quite the looker, with him just standing there without saying a word, it was like looking at a painting.

The Lu mother wrapped her arms around her and, glaring at him with cold eyes, snorted with a very bad tone : “What are you here for?”

Shen Yi frowned slightly. His voice was cold and sharp as he answered : “I came to pick her up and take her home.”

When the Lu mother heard what Shen Yi said, she laughed coldly and said in a rather bad tone : “I have yet to settle accounts with you, and here you are, daring to come try take her home.”

When the Lu mother saw him, she recalled her daughter’s bruises and her anger rose up again so naturally, she did not show him a good face. Using a sinister tone filled with resentment, she resumed : “I don’t dare let my daughter go home with you, all those bruises on her body, aren’t those the results of your hard work? What are you coming to our door for now? I am telling you, tomorrow you both will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get divorced!”

Shen Yi raised his eyes and his indifferent expression moved slightly. In a low voice, he said : “Is she hurt?”

The Lu mother felt that the look of Shen Yi pretending to be surprised seemed quite genuine. She looked him up and down twice, thinking that this man looked like a normal man, not like a man who would beat his wife, but the blue and purple bruises on her daughter’s body were impossible to fake.

As she was about to reply to Shen Yi with sarcasm, Lu Wanwan, who was standing at the top of the stairs slowly made her way downstairs. She was wearing a nightgown, the hem of which only reached her knees, revealing her straight white legs. Her collarbone was also clearly visible. Her long snow-white neck made people who looked at her couldn’t help but want to take a bite to have a taste of her flavor.

The reason Lu Wanwan came downstairs was because she was afraid that her lies would be exposed by Shen Yi.

She held her mother’s arm, her eyebrows furrowed, her figure similar to a weak willow under great winds, so vulnerable and aggrieved that she seemed like she could drop tears any second now. She tugged on her mother’s clothes. “Mom, don’t say any more. It really has nothing to do with him.”

This kind of cover-up explanation, coupled with Lu Wanwan’s pitiful expression, made the Lu mother feel even more strongly that her daughter was lying to her because she wanted to protect Shen Yi.

The Lu mother patted her daughter’s hand to console her and then dropped her next words like one would drop a bomb, “Divorce! Get a divorce for me!”

Shen Yi looked extraordinarily pitiful at this time with his thin figure and pale face. His thumbs twisted slightly as he opened his lips, speaking slowly, “I ……”

The Lu mother interrupted him impatiently : “I didn’t want to agree when you got married. Our Lu family is also a rich family, we live in a villa and drive an expensive car, and there are also several companies under our name, but what about you? You’re broke and uneducated, until now you’re still only working for a small company. Being with you, our Wanwan was already suffering, and now you are beating and scolding her, how can I feel comfortable entrusting my daughter to you?”

Shen Yi’s expression paused. He raised his eyes and stared coldly at Lu Wanwan. Skimming over the bruises on her arm, his voice was hoarse as he asked : “I beat her?”

In the past, Shen Yi often used this king of gaze to look at Lu Wanwan. Shen Yi, this man, looked like he did not care much about anything, but in fact, he was very resentful.

Since this time around she had no intention of humbling herself to please this person, divorce was what Lu Wanwan was after, so there was nothing for her to worry about.

She tried very hard to squeeze out two tears, sniffled and complained, “Mom, he didn’t mean to hit me either, he’s only done it once or twice since we got married, I think he’ll definitely change.”

Lu Wanwan took advantage of this opportunity to throw dirty water on him. It was best to destroy this beautiful image of her who was his first love, so that he could look properly at this white lotus true face of hers and then decisively divorce her.

This way she could really get away from Shen Yi, that psychopath.

“This is the second time already!?” The Lu mother couldn’t believe it, as she raised her voice and shouted at the top of her lungs.

Shen Yi glanced at Lu Wanwan, the corners of his lips turned up slightly, his smile almost unnoticeable, before he recovered his cold countenance and said, “It is indeed the second time.”

Lu Wanwan and her mother both froze, not expecting him to admit it directly.

Immediately after, Lu Wanwan heard the man in front of her say, “This is the second time she got drunk and got injured after falling down the stairs.”

“……”

“……”

Lu Wanwan almost lost control of her composure, she wanted to rush up to him and yell, “Shut your mouth!”

The Lu mother hates people who drink alcohol, especially drunk people.

Her only little brother died because he drank too much and the death was extremely tragic. Being drunk, he drove on the highway, lost consciousness and crashed directly into the wall by the tunnel entrance.

The front end of the car was completely sunk into the wall and when he was pulled out of the car, he was completely disfigured.

When Lu Wanwan herself when she was in college almost had an accident because she was drunk, so the Lu mother forbade her to drink at all.

Shen Yi’s words really hit the nail on the head.

The Lu mother turned her head to glare at her daughter, “How dare you drink! I guess you want to die!”

Lu Wanwan gritted her teeth and refused to admit it, “Woo woo woo, mom I didn’t, woo woo woo.”

Shen Yi paused and said in a slow voice: “Mom, if you don’t believe me, you can watch the surveillance.” He lowered his eyes, lowered his voice and smiled bitterly, “I was too strict in my control and made Wanwan mad.”

Since Shen Yi said there was surveillance, then he must have the surveillance footage in his hands.

Lu Wanwan no longer argued. She quickly stopped crying and went forward, taking the initiative to hug him. The corners of her eyes were filled with water beads, as she used an artificial tone to say : “Yi Yi, it’s me that was too willful before boo woo woo.”

The Lu mother looked at them both and her head began to hurt.

For a while, she couldn’t understand what was going on with this young couple.
