I, a Scumbag, Only Flirt but Never Marry [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 1
The heavy gold-patterned curtains were tightly drawn, blocking the neon lights that were beginning to appear outside the window. The hotel room was dim, and one could vaguely see a shirt here and a silk stocking there on the dark red carpet, scattered in a messy state.
On the soft, large bed, Gu Shuofeng was sleeping soundly under a thin quilt. Her slightly curled long hair was spread out on the pillow, and the delicate sapphire stud earrings on her small earlobes shimmered with fragmented light. She gently turned over, and with a soft moan, her jade-like arm stretched out, resting outside the quilt. Her fair wrist looked as if it would break with a gentle fold, making one want to cherish it carefully.
On the other side of the bed, a young man lay on his back, snoring softly. His chest rose and fell, and his face was somewhat pale, showing signs of excessive fatigue.
The hotel room was quiet.
Click, click.
On the bedside table, the clear quartz face of a Rolex watch reflected a bit of white light, accurately turning its gears, corresponding to the two breaths in the room, one rough and the other soft.
Suddenly, the soft breathing paused. The beauty on the bed frowned slightly, seeming uncomfortable as she rubbed her temples and slowly opened her eyes.
Where… is this?
Her chaotic brain took a full minute to slowly start working.
This is the small world S12598, one of the most inconspicuous small worlds among the three thousand great worlds and countless small worlds, and it is also the world within a book.
This is a Zhiyin-style (a Chinese magazine known for melodramatic stories) novel, filled with a faint Annie Baby-esque (a Chinese author known for her melancholic and somewhat self-pitying style) sadness from beginning to end.
It tells the frustrating story of a female lead who, blinded, marries a scumbag. Not many years after their marriage, the scumbag cheats on her with a green tea (a term for a seemingly innocent but actually scheming woman), and under the green tea’s instigation, he takes half of the marital home (bought in full by the female lead’s parents) and half of the art gallery owned by the female lead.
At the end of the novel, the female lead is physically and mentally exhausted. She sells the house and the gallery and flies alone to a foreign country, claiming to bid farewell to the past and start a new and beautiful journey. Meanwhile, the scumbag and the mistress use her money to buy a house and a car, get married, and have children, living a happy life in their familiar land.
The woman Gu Shuofeng has now transmigrated into is that mistress. The reason she transmigrated into such a remote and insignificant small world is to retrieve her lost soul fragments.
Those fragments are entangled with the female lead’s soul. Only when the female lead’s soul’s satisfaction level reaches its maximum value of 100, and her soul fragments resonate with the female lead’s soul, can their souls be perfectly separated.
In other words, she has to follow the plot normally, make the female lead hate her, and let the female lead gain satisfaction by abusing her and the scumbag. However, she can’t let the female lead hate her too thoroughly, because after the female lead’s satisfaction level reaches its maximum, she must then make the female lead fall in love with her, thereby achieving resonance with the soul fragments.
It’s not difficult to be hated, and it’s not difficult to be liked, but to be both liked and hated…
Difficult!
But it doesn’t matter, there’s nothing that Gu Shuofeng can’t do.
With a beep, a sharp warning sound suddenly rang in her mind.
[Warning! Warning! The female lead will arrive outside the door in ten seconds! Please prepare for emergency response!]
Ten seconds?!
Gu Shuofeng turned her head to look at the scumbag sleeping like a dead pig. Without thinking, she kicked him off the bed!
This kick was not light. The scumbag landed headfirst on the ground. If it weren’t for the cushioning effect of the red carpet, he would have definitely broken his head and bled.
This is the plot point where the female lead, having just learned that the scumbag cheated, arrives at the hotel room with her best friend to catch them in the act.
Gu Shuofeng slightly raised her eyebrows. Why was she transmigrated to this particular time? Did her elder sister deliberately set her up?
Ten seconds isn’t even enough for her to get dressed.
As everyone knows, women are very strange creatures. When a scumbag cheats, the original wife’s first reaction is usually to tear apart the mistress, not the scumbag who deserves to be drawn and quartered the most.
In the original plot, although the female lead was a literary and artistic young woman, she couldn’t withstand the extreme anger. As soon as she entered the door, she and her best friend tore into the mistress. The scumbag desperately tried to stop them, and the mistress hid behind the scumbag, shamelessly showing off her good figure and mocking the female lead as an unwanted old hag.
The story is set in the early 21st century, when smartphones were not yet popular. The female lead and her best friend were only focused on rushing over to confirm the affair and didn’t even bring a camera. The mistress called security to kick them out, and from then on, she openly got together with the scumbag.
Only five seconds left. The scumbag hadn’t even figured out how he ended up on the floor. He was dizzy and still lying face down, unable to get up.
Gu Shuofeng pressed her temples. How could she make the female lead both hate her and not hate her too deeply in such a terrible scene of catching them in the act, so that she would still have the strength to turn things around in the future?
In front of the hotel room door, Xu Tinglan stood straight with her narrow and slender back. She slightly raised her head, her neck fair, slender, and long. Her long hair was styled into a loose bun, with a few stray strands casually falling on the sides of her face. She had willow-leaf eyebrows, red lips, and a small cinnabar mole at the corner of her eye, like a girl gazing at pigeons in Prague Square at sunset, beautiful and elegant, yet also revealing a hint of desolate beauty like a flower fading at dusk.
Her best friend Zhizhi, who had tipped her off, was rubbing her fists, ready to kick the door open, but Xu Tinglan gently pulled her back.
Zhizhi waved her small fist and turned back indignantly, “Why are you stopping me… mmmph!”
Xu Tinglan covered her mouth and shook her head, then raised her hand to knock on the door.
Knock, knock, knock.
After several knocks, a muffled male voice finally sounded from inside.
“Who is it?”
Xu Tinglan forced herself to suppress the heartache and glanced at Zhizhi. Zhizhi understood and, pinching her nose, said loudly, “Hello! Sorry to bother you! It’s the anniversary of our hotel, and every hotel room is entitled to a complimentary bottle of red wine. Please open the door to receive it.”
After waiting for a moment, the door clicked open, and Wang Jianfei appeared in the doorway, wearing a bathrobe and sporting a swollen forehead.
Upon seeing his wife, Wang Jianfei was stunned. He forgot to retract the yawn he was halfway through and subconsciously went to close the door.
Zhizhi was quicker than him. Relying on her petite frame, she directly squeezed through the door crack and rushed in. Wang Jianfei quickly reached back to grab her, but Zhizhi was like a slippery fish, dodging left and right, heading straight for the large bed, not forgetting to call back to Xu Tinglan.
“Come in quickly!!!”
Xu Tinglan stood stiffly with her slender figure, watching her husband, who had vowed eternal love, chasing Zhizhi in a fit of anger. A wave of dizziness washed over her.
She swayed, grabbed the door frame for support, took several deep breaths, and then stepped into the hotel room.
Zhizhi had already rushed to the bedside and yanked open the quilt!
“You stinky b1tch! Let’s see where you can hide!”
Author’s Note: Quietly started a new story, wondering if there are still any little cuties who remember my salted fish self…
