Chapter 1
I had transmigrated into a sweet, pampering romance about a wealthy family.
The title was The CEO’s Plundered Love: Doting on His Sweet Wife and Their Eighteen Treasures.
As a smash hit in the childbearing romance genre, the female lead in this book gave birth to a full eighteen children for the male lead.
Eighteen children!
That setup was absolutely insane!
After my failed escape attempt, the System ordered me to find another female lead to take over. Otherwise, I would be stuck in this world forever.
And right now, I had landed directly at the wedding.
This wedding of the century was grand beyond compare. Elegant gowns and coiffed hair filled the venue, flashbulbs popped from every direction, and the entire place looked like a vanity fair for high society.
According to the original plot, the male lead was a rising star in the business world. The female lead fell in love with him at first sight, then used a massive investment to force him into marriage after his funding chain collapsed.
But he couldn’t let go of his childhood sweetheart, his white moonlight. He had even brought her to the wedding.
Right in front of him, I took the frail young woman in the wheelchair by the hand and said, “Sweetie, aren’t you two the real couple? I’m willing to step aside for you!”
The audience below instantly fell into an unbearable silence.
Hearing that, the male lead gave a cold laugh. “Yu Xuzhen, with so many reporters here, what kind of stunt are you trying to pull?”
Just that one sentence was dripping with contempt and disgust for me.
Since he was being so nasty, I deliberately looked him up and down a few times. “Actually, that’s not what I really wanted to say.”
“Then what?”
“There’s a hair sticking out of your nostril.”
“…”
Chapter 2
Bo Ye stared at me darkly, then said coldly,
“It’s a loose thread.”
With that, he reached up and gave it a hard yank-
As several thin trails of blood drifted out from that perfectly shaped nostril, everyone below seemed to feel it in their own bodies and shuddered in unison.
At the same time, I noticed a young man in the audience holding a glass of champagne. His face looked as if it had been carved from flawless jade, and most striking of all were the two symmetrical cinnabar moles beneath his eyes. They were so exquisitely placed that they seemed almost divine.
If one ignored the rigid, keep-your-distance chill in his expression, he looked exactly like a beautiful young man who had walked out of a painting.
Having read the original novel, I knew he was the only villain in the book capable of keeping the male lead in check.
Bo Ye’s lifelong nemesis, Yan Luoxi.
While I was recalling the plot, Bo Ye waved a hand and ordered the wedding to continue.
The officiant began proceeding with the ceremony. Bo Ye was saying “I do,” but one of his hands had slipped into his trouser pocket.
Having read the original, I knew that to preserve his chastity for his white moonlight, he had hidden a sharpened dagger there.
Later, that dagger would stab “me” twice.
All because, on the night of our wedding, the woman he loved would die of heartbreak.
The officiant continued, “Beautiful bride, do you take this handsome man to be your husband?”
Expressionless, I said, “I do not.”
“Better to tear down a temple than destroy a marriage. I hereby declare my engagement to Mr. Bo void.”
The entire venue erupted in an uproar!
Amid the flashing cameras, Bo Ye was furious, his face turning purple with rage.
“Yu Xuzhen!”
He was about to argue, but the delicate young woman in the wheelchair reached a hand toward him. “Forget it, Ah Ye. Let’s go back…”
“Even if we return to the poor days we had before, I’m not afraid.”
The appeal of a white moonlight was terrifying.
The man immediately rushed off the stage and took her cold little hand, his voice deep with feeling. “But your illness requires the Yu Family’s special medicine-”
Before he could finish, I immediately ordered the security guards, “That special medicine or whatever. Haul over a truckload for me.”
At that, Bo Ye’s expression darkened for an instant.
The young woman didn’t notice the change in him. She was so grateful that tears filled her eyes, and she even tugged him forward to bow to me.
“I never thought Miss Yu would be such a kind person!”
“Ah Ye, we should thank her!”
Taking in the varied expressions around me, I said generously, “No need to thank me. I’ll leave the arduous role of female lead to you.”
“Wishing you a fruitful pregnancy. Have fun.”
