1:Transmigrating into a Novel

Gu Zi was woken up by a woman’s crying. Before she could open her eyes, a bunch of unfamiliar memories flashed through her mind.

Just then, footsteps could be heard in the distance, and the woman’s crying gradually stopped.

“No, I absolutely won’t allow my own daughter to marry an older man with three children!”

“I never expected that we mixed up our daughter with the Lin family. The Lins are so poor, and they agreed to marry our precious daughter into such a household. You need to think about this, Lin Miao is our real daughter, not Gu Zi. You should think about our real daughter.”

Gu Zi groggily opened her eyes and saw a man standing by the window, while the woman by her bedside was still weeping and wiping away tears.

It then dawned on her that she had transmigrated into the historical novel she had read just last night.

The real heiress of the Gu family, Lin Miao, had recently shown up at their doorstep. She was a spitting image of Madam Gu, Zhang Mei, when she was young. The Gu couple had even had her authenticated, and it turned out that Lin Miao was indeed their daughter.

The original host used to be pampered, but her position in the Gu family was now very awkward.

Lin Miao, the real heiress, had lived in poverty, and as soon as Gu Zi heard about the mix-up, she clung to the Gu family and refused to leave.

The original host of this body was going to marry the chief’s son according to her parents’ agreement. She was on the verge of ascending to a high social status. Who would have thought that the appearance of the real daughter would cause her life to undergo earth-shattering changes?

Originally, the Gu family had wanted to keep both daughters, but the Lin family objected. They had long planned for Lin Miao to marry an older man with three children, and now that Lin Miao was gone, the Lin family could only make the original host take her place.

The original host couldn’t accept her current situation. She was forced to marry an old man and mistreated his three children, ultimately leading to a bitter end, with the husband divorcing her and her tragic death on the streets.

Because the original host wasn’t the main character, her story was just a side note in the novel.

Now, the current timeline of the story was at the point where the original host learned she was to marry the divorced older man and had attempted suicide by jumping into a river. However, she was rescued.

Gu Zi noticed that the two people in the room hadn’t realized she had woken up. She struggled to sit up, making some noise, but the Gu couple remained lost in their own world and didn’t hear her.

From Gu Zi’s point of view, the Gu Zi in the book was too arrogant and had never faced real challenges, which is why she exploded over small matters.

Zhang Mei, who was in front of her. “Can you lend me some money? I need to take a bus to my fiancé’s house.”

Zhang Mei, upon hearing this, quickly took out ten yuan and handed it to Gu Zi, saying, “On your way there…”

Before Zhang Mei could finish her sentence, Gu Shan furrowed his brows and pulled out a hundred yuan. “Zi Zi, just take it! Don’t talk about borrowing. If you ever need anything, just call.”

Gu Zi thanked him. It would be a waste not to accept it.

Gu Shan’s words sounded nice. He gave her a hundred yuan and refused to let her return it. In other words, he did not want her to come back to the Gu family again.

He even said that she could call them directly if there was anything. This sounded nice, but in reality, he was cutting ties with her.

Gu Zi still obediently said “thank you” and left without taking anything with her.

As Gu Zi walked away, Zhang Mei couldn’t help but watch her retreating form, a growing sense of unease settling within her.
