Chapter 2 (1/2)
Stunning Male Lead
Pang Wan’s past life, was originally of a n.o.bility living in the land of Mary Sue.
It can be said that this land of Mary Sue, is but a hugely wonderful work of the novel world, once it’s able to mix into n.o.bility —— that is but the cla.s.s of the female protagonist, it is simply just overflowing radiance with endless charms, with the amazing capability to have all males within a hundred li radius to all come kneeling down before her skirt. In that faraway land of Mary Sue, the female leads not only intimately mingle with men (literally male humans), but may also intimately mingle with male ghosts, male demons, male aliens, in the most extreme situations, sometimes, even such peasant that is the supporting female character, also have difficulty escaping the female lead’s invincible spell.
Simply explaining this, it is the “with not a single word, the entire world loves me” spell.
That is why the Pang Wan in her previous life, was extremely blissful. She still remembers how she had only just rejected the courting of five handsome men, such that are rare finds in the world (don’t ask why even though these handsome men are rare finds, the female lead can still meet several of them all at once), choosing the land’s most powerful male lead to be her husband, also accepting the most talented supporting male to be her lover (don’t ask why the male characters are able to withstand one another’s existence), all was perfectly complete. That day, once she opens the blinds by the seaside, breathing in the clean and fresh air whilst reminiscing her own “as beautiful as an evil fairy” first love target, she suddenly hears the sound of “hong-long”, a line of pink lightning strikes down, hitting her spot on.
Pang Wan upon waking up, finds that she had turned into a young la.s.s around the age of nine, hidden inside a mountain cave.
Such matter that is time travelling, was once the biggest trend in the land of Mary Sue, and had even led the economic development of the entire land, so she immediately accepts the reality of turning into a Lolita, acting extremely calm and tactful.
The first thing she did, was to go to the stream to take a careful look at her own face.
Five features looking proper, a docile appearance, belonging to that of a little beauty.
——very good, no matter how one looks at it, it is still the face of a female lead.
Pang Wan felt satisfied and was put to ease with this.
One must know, in the land of Mary Sue, looks are very important, of n.o.bility, even the majority of female leads are “stunning beauties”, even if they start off looking very ugly, in the end, they will still become beautiful, stunningly beautiful even, beauty that is extremely brutal and inhuman.
Determining her own cla.s.s, Pang Wan starts to calmly live her life in the cave.
She believes that since she is a female lead, there must certainly be a handsome man to the rescue, all only comes down to timing.
Such calmness, remained calm for an entire year.
So calm to the point her mouth had already turned dull and tasteless, her entire person wan and thin, exceptionally withered, the moment she almost breathed her last breath, a middle aged man finally carried the dying her out of the cave.
“Wan Wan, uncle was trapped in Tianshan Tonglao’s circle of imprisonment[1], have come a step too late, uncle is sorry to you ah!”
(Tianshan Tonglao /天山童姥 Childish Old Lady of Sky Mountain – character from Jin Yong’s 天龍八部 Demi-G.o.ds and Demi-Devils)
That uncle wails, the tears dripping into her mouth.
“This person definitely isn’t the male lead!” This is the only thought that flashes in her mind before falling into coma.
When she wakes up, she finally gains clear understanding of her own story and ident.i.ty —— in this life she is called Pang Wan, is the daughter of Bai Yue Sect’s former Sheng Gu. Not sure for what type of love or hate, feelings or vengeance, the former Sheng Gu brought her along in leaving the Bai Yue Sect, but then abandons her in that mountain cave to grow up alone. Bai Yue Sect as the dignified number one unorthodox sect of Jiang Hu, with excellently deep and strong traditions, the sect’s codes clearly states that there cannot go a day with no Sheng Gu, and so Sect Leader Uncle carrying the spirit of the foolish old man who removed the mountain[2], patiently and meticulously dug three chi (measurement 尺 – equal to 1/3 of a meter), finally finding Pang Wan before she starved to death.
Indeed, hard work pays off sincere people.
Pang Wan was then brought back to Bai Yue Sect by the sect leader, holding a succession ceremony, and officially became the thirty-sixth generation Sheng Gu.
At that time, Pang Wan really liked this ident.i.ty of being the Sheng Gu of an evil sect —— think about it, the mascot of a dignified evil sect, a living signboard that moves, youth, beauty and power all in grasp, all stars twinkling around the bright moon, a sight to behold, is this not an extremely typical Mary Sue story?
She feels very satisfied with where this story is going, showing great antic.i.p.ation for the future.
However, very quickly she finds something is slightly off with this world.
That was around three months after returning to the sect, Pang Wan had already been pampered with all sorts of precious delicacies from the mountain and seas into a little fair skinned dumpling with rosy cheeks, very much the adored treasure of all within the sect. That day she was wearing a newly made floral outfit, cheerfully heading to her “poison your entire family to death” lessons, lips even humming to a sweet little tune: “……the strong-minded Mary Sue, no need to explain ah, Mary Mary Sue~~~since it will definitely be this way ah, Mary Mary Sue~~~” This is a pop song from the land of Mary Sue, no one sings yet in Bai Yue Sect, she thinks this is because this place is deep in the valley, not yet civilised, mental spirits and culture is thus relatively lagging behind.
Far ahead, she sees a young man in black stood with his back straight in front of the door, that young man seems to have heard the singing, currently raising his head to follow the sound.
Pang Wan having just met eyes with that young male’s face, only feels a sound of “weng” in her chest, exploding into a blossoming firework of all colours.
——how beautiful of a youth he is eh! That contour, like that of sculptures, those brows and eyes, like that of oil paintings, that rebellious look, that build of insanely pure handsomeness, and also the sparkling blood-red earrings by his ear, ai-ya-ya, that is but a beautiful person that can cause an absolute audience-all-kill when placed in the land of Mary Sue ah!
Could it be, this is my first male lead?
Pang Wan upon thinking up to here, eyes contains spring, lips spreading into a crazy grin.
Dear readers, let us not discuss such problem of social values that is why Pang Wan would think “first male lead” and not “male lead”, what everyone need to focus on is, the male lead that Pang Wan is speculating, is currently raising a sword lined with overflowing coldness up to her neck.
The blade comes closer and closer, closer and closer, so close that the chill has already seeped into her skin, slicing open a fine and long cut, fresh red blood slowly oozing out.
