Episode 2
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
But anyway, don’t you think you’re a little too much? You even threatened me, just so you could get rid of me! You said that you would make yourself trip down the stairs, then place the blame on me just so that grandfather would know what a horrible woman I am. I tried to pull you up, but instead, you pushed me down the stairs. Did you really think that if I died from falling down the stairs, you would be able to ruin my reputation and then become the next rightful Young Mistress of the Zhan family?
Jiang Yuxi (FL’s Rival)
(Jumps from her seat)
Jiang Yuxi (FL’s Rival)
(Shouts furiously) Jing Qian, you bloody liar! Did you really think that I would defame you without any evidence? You think grandfather would actually believe all the lies that you’re spewing?😡
Jiang Yuxi (FL’s Rival)
(Walks to Old Master Zhan) Grandfather, I’m telling the truth about what happened this afternoon. I clearly overheard Jing Qian talking to her lover about taking advantage of the Zhan family’s resources. She promised him that he would be a famous actor with her help. Jing Qian even bought things for her lover. I have a recording of it, listen! She was trying to delete this recording, which was why we were fighting when she tripped and fell down the stairs.
Jiang Yuxi (FL’s Rival)
(Unlocks her screen to show the video)
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
(Laughs coldly)
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
(Enjoys her food)
Jiang Yuxi (FL’s Rival)
Where did it go? That’s strange… Where’s the video? What—What’s happening? It was right here!
Jiang Yuxi (FL’s Rival)
(Searches her phone)
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
Hmmm… You’re studying fashion design, I’ve heard. Was it because you realized that you’re too ugly for acting and decided to give up on that? With your acting skills and the Zhan family’s resources at your back, I’m pretty confident that you can win the next Oscars.
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
You don’t have to be extremely pretty to be an actress, you know. Why don’t you go for an audition? I’m pretty sure that there will be directors who would appreciate having such a talented actress on set.
Jiang Yuxi (FL’s Rival)
Jing! Qian! It was you, wasn’t it? You were the one who deleted my video!
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
(Deliberately) You’re right, it was me. I was talking to my paramour and you recorded it all. Becoming angry, I decided to start a fight with you then threw myself down the staircase and hit my head. While I was in the hospital for my head injury, I found someone to hack into your phone and delete all your recordings, which is why you can no longer show us the video that you clearly had before this.
Jiang Yuxi (FL’s Rival)
SO IT WAS YOU!😡
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
😑
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
** This woman’s brain must have been kicked by a mule for at least… three times? **
Jiang Yuxi (FL’s Rival)
(Cries to Old Master Zhan) Grandfather, did you hear what she said? She admitted to it! It was her!
Zhan Yuheng (ML’s 1st Brother)
(Couldn't take it anymore)
Zhan Yuheng (ML’s 1st Brother)
** Before this, I’d always thought that Jing Qian and Jiang Yuxi weren’t on the same level when it came to intelligence. Today, they still weren’t on the same level, but it was Jing Qian who unilaterally crushed Jiang Yuxi. **
Zhan Renhao (ML’s Grandfather)
This matter shall end here. No one is allowed to mention this anymore.
Jiang Yuxi (FL’s Rival)
(Disbelief) Why Grandfather, why? She already admitted that it was her! Why don’t you punish her instead of asking me to shut up?!
Jiang Yuxi (FL’s Rival)
** Wasn’t she just some woman who had a fate chart that matched Brother Chuan’s? Who gave her the right to flaunt herself in the Zhan family?! She was the one who had betrayed Brother Chuan! **
Jiang Yuxi (FL’s Rival)
** Other than her face, which was as beautiful as a vixen, what else did Jing Qian have?😠 **
Zhan Renhao (ML’s Grandfather)
Yuxi, I had no objections to your closeness with Lichuan when he wasn’t married. But now that he is and Jing Qian is his wife, I hope that you’ll abide by your role as a guest. Stop trying to come between Lichuan and his wife. This is not something I’d like to see in the future when going forward.
Jiang Yuxi (FL’s Rival)
(Stares blankly at Old Master Zhan)
Jiang Yuxi (FL’s Rival)
** I’d become a part of the Zhan family from the moment I stepped into their household. I fell in love with Brother Chuan when I was 17 years old. Even now, when he’d become a quadriplegic, there was never a moment where I'd disliked him. **
Jiang Yuxi (FL’s Rival)
** I even felt fortunate that he had been paralysed, because someone as brilliant as Brother Chuan would never have turned his attention to me. I’d already lowered myself to this point, so why wouldn’t grandfather see how good I am? **
Jiang Yuxi (FL’s Rival)
** I have been working hard, putting in so much effort to become the perfect woman. I’d spent a great amount of time getting Brother Chuan to regain his hope and confidence. How could it simply be wiped out and forgotten? Now I'm a ‘guest’? **
Zhan Renhao (ML’s Grandfather)
When you first came to the Zhan family, you yourself mentioned that you wouldn’t mind staying in the guesthouse. Since there were no young mistresses back then, I relented and had Butler Xu arrange a room for you in the main building. However, the matter that Qianqian just brought up is sound. Now that Lichuan is a married man, it’s indeed inappropriate for a single, unmarried girl to be allowed to enter and leave as you please in the main building. After finishing your meal, you should go pack up. I’ll get Butler Xu to arrange an individual guest house for you.
Jiang Yuxi (FL’s Rival)
(Freezes)
Jiang Yuxi (FL’s Rival)
😭😭😭
Jiang Yuxi (FL’s Rival)
** What had I done to deserve this? I'm not the one who had an affair! Why was I the one being punished in the end?! **
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
(Continuously eating)
When Master Zhan and Zhan Yuheng came back to their senses, they were left speechless, realizing that most of the dishes on the table that were full before this had been cleared out within a short period of time.
Zhan Renhao (ML’s Grandfather)
Qianqian.
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
En?
Zhan Renhao (ML’s Grandfather)
How’s your head?
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
Just a small wound. I’m fine.
Zhan Renhao (ML’s Grandfather)
(Nods) While you were at the hospital, Lichuan returned from his physiotherapy session as well. He seems to be in a bad mood. Since you’re his wife, you should really spend more time caring for him.
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
Oh, sure.
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
** It is something that I naturally had to abide by since I'm getting paid for it. This is an established matter since ancient times. **
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
** Although I wasn’t the one who’d received 100 million yuan earlier or benefited from it, I’d still taken over Jing Qian’s body and become her. **
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
** Along with that, ever since I’d entered this body, I’d recovered from long-term depression, which was said to be incurable. To me, recovering from that disease is worth much more than 100 million yuan. **
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
** My life is indeed something precious!
I would let them know that they had made the right choice when choosing me for this deal. **
Zhan Renhao (ML’s Grandfather)
** I know that Jing Qian hadn’t married into the Zhan family willingly. No matter how brilliant Lichuan was before this, he had now become a quadriplegic. **
Zhan Renhao (ML’s Grandfather)
** However, I believe Master Jingyuan’s words. I believe that as long as this lucky star stayed within our family, Lichuan’s condition would improve. **
Zhan Renhao (ML’s Grandfather)
** Therefore, even if I know that Jing Qian was still in contact with her ex and was also aware that Jiang Yuxi had been wronged… It didn’t matter. As long as Lichuan’s life improved, none of these things mattered. **
Zhan Renhao (ML’s Grandfather)
** As for the rest... Getting rid of an ex-boyfriend of my granddaughter-in-law’s, who didn’t come from a good background, was a piece of cake. If Jing Qian truly refused to leave her ex-boyfriend, I could simply find ways to make the man leave her instead. **
Jiang Yuxi (FL’s Rival)
Please enjoy your food.
Jiang Yuxi (FL’s Rival)
Excuse me.
Jiang Yuxi (FL’s Rival)
(Runs away)😭😭😭
Butler Xu (Zhan Family’s Butler)
(Quietly exits the room)
Zhan Renhao (ML’s Grandfather)
(Leaves the dining table)
At this point, only Jing Qian and Zhan Yuheng remained at the table.
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
(Happily enjoying food)
Zhan Yuheng (ML’s 1st Brother)
Looks like you have a really good appetite today, sister-in-law.
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
(Continues to eat) I’ve always had a good appetite.
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
** After struggling with depression for so many years, I hadn’t enjoyed eating as much as I did today. This is the first time in at least a few years that I had enjoyed my food. Of course, it is also because the food is really delicious. **
Zhan Yuheng (ML’s 1st Brother)
(Surprised) Is that so?
Zhan Yuheng (ML’s 1st Brother)
But before this, you told me that you didn’t eat very much.
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
(Wipes her mouth)
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
(Indifferently) Really? Maybe it’s the concussion. I don’t really remember Young Master asking me this question. I’m done now. Please enjoy the food.
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
(Walks out of the dining room)
Zhan Yuheng (ML’s 1st Brother)
(Chuckles) Such a cunning rabbit! How come I never realized how interesting you are?
After dinner, Jing Qian decided that it was time for her to meet Zhan Lichuan, her ‘husband’.
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
** According to the memories of the previous owner, Zhan Lichuan is a quadriplegic with no future. So what if he is from a rich family? Being a quadriplegic meant that he is ultimately useless. Since the only people left in the family were the old man and his grandchildren, there was no one in between that could inherit. Once Master Zhan passed, Zhan Yuheng is next in line to inherit. Nothing would fall into the hands of this quadriplegic. That is why the previous owner of this body had wanted to get as much money and resources as she could before finding a way to run away with her soulmate. **
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
** As for Zhan Lichuan... The previous owner didn’t even know what he looked like, even if she had entered his room once. **
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
** But I myself know who Zhan Lichuan is. **
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
** It definitely wasn’t an exaggeration to describe him as incredibly talented and handsome.
He was the type that could still instantly stand out, even among a crowd of outstanding men. No one would have expected this brilliant star to now be a quadriplegic. **
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
** Luckily, he has met me. Since I had been paid to marry into the Zhan family, I would do my best. It would be impossible for me to be his real wife, but before leaving the Zhan family, I would try my best to treat him. **
Their rooms were connected, but to prevent disturbing each other, they usually closed the connecting doors.
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
(Goes to her room using the original owner’s memory)
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
(Goes to the balcony)
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
(Goes towards Zhan Lichuan’s room)
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
(Notices many orchids)
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
** These orchids are rare species and priceless treasures. **
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
** There are even the rare Ghost orchids. **
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
** It seems Old Master Zhan loves this grandson very much. However.... **
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
(Looks at the balcony with a meaningful look)
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
(Pushes the glass door and goes to Zhan Lichuan’s room)
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
(Notes a magnetic buckle on top of his head)
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
** It is some sort of high-tech gadget with a smart sensor. **
Zhan Lichuan (ML)
(Lying on the bed)
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
(Observing him)
Zhan Lichuan (ML)
(Opens his eyes)
Zhan Lichuan (ML)
(Looks at her coldly)❄️
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
(With a friendly smile) You’re awake? I’m guessing you haven’t eaten dinner yet. Are you hungry?
As soon as a sound came from inside the room, both of the bodyguards guarding the living room dashed inside the bedroom.
Zhe Yan (ML’s Special Assistant)
(Surprised)
Yun Zhou (ML’s Special Assistant)
(Surprised)
Yun Zhou (ML’s Special Assistant)
Young master, we apologize. We didn’t think Young Mistress would simply come in from the other door.
Everyone knew that Jing Qian’s room was attached to Zhan Lichuan’s room, but for the past three weeks, she had not stepped into the Young Master’s space once, which was why the guards didn’t bother guarding the balcony.
Instead, they guarded the living room, so that Jiang Yuxi would not be able to disturb their Young Master with all sorts of ridiculous excuses.
Zhan Lichuan (ML)
(Stares at her)
Zhan Lichuan (ML)
** This woman must have accepted something from grandfather, which would explains why she is coming in here to complete the mission she had been given. **
Zhan Lichuan (ML)
** But there's something different about her today. There's no disgust, resistance and avoidance in her eyes, but rather they are filled with kindness. **
Zhan Lichuan (ML)
** No wonder she had become an actress. She is really talented in acting in accordance with how much money she had been given. **
Zhan Lichuan (ML)
** Let's see how long she maintains her facade. **
Zhan Lichuan (ML)
I’m not hungry.❄️
Yun Zhou (ML’s Special Assistant)
(Shocked)
Zhe Yan (ML’s Special Assistant)
(Eyes widened)
Zhe Yan (ML’s Special Assistant)
** This is the first sentence that Young Master has spoken in a few days. How could we not be happy about it? **
Zhan Lichuan (ML)
Don’t you know that a quadriplegic doesn’t feel hunger?❄️
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
(Softly) Who said that a quadriplegic can’t feel hunger? You injured your spine, which means that your peripheral nerves are injured. In other words, only the ones supplying your skeletal muscles are affected. Your sympathetic nerves, which control the movement of your digestive tract, are still intact. Therefore, even if you’re a quadriplegic, you can still feel hunger.
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
If you’re hungry but refuse to eat, your body’s metabolic rate will fall and start breaking down the proteins in your muscle, using it as the body’s energy supply. This will result in your bones and muscles becoming atrophied. This is why it’s very important for you to eat.
Zhan Lichuan (ML)
(Speechless)😐
Di Jingqian/Jing Qian/Saka (FL)
(Looking at him with a flattering smile)
Zhan Lichuan (ML)
(Closes his eyes)
Zhan Lichuan (ML)
** I don't want to speak anymore. **
