Chapter 2 (1/2)
This world is a parallel world based in China in the seventies, with the exact same history as the place called Earth, with the exception of the politicians, celebrities and the law with allows the same gender to marry
And Ye SangSang was the villainess of this world.
It all happened after she graduated from high school. In a world like this, families would usually send their children, usually their sons, to fulfill a citizen’s duties of working in the countryside, but her family insisted to send her instead, as her elder brother was the breadwinner for the family and they could not afford to lose him under such conditions.
Hence, under her parents’ forceful attitude, Ye SangSang unwillingly left the city and made her way to the countryside while her hatred for them grew.
In the original story, Ye SangSang was a very lazy person, and the fact that she was arrogant and conceited does not make her a likable person. Intending to spend her days in comfort, she immediately married the daughter of the Red Star Corporation, Lin Xia, as she did not wish to work. She successfully became pregnant not long after, as she had decided that being a housewife of a rich woman was the ultimate life goal.
(TNote: from what I understood, Red Star Corporation was the company in charge of the countryside’s production ;w;)
But right at this time, the country decided to release a new high-school specialty program, which was examinations based. Intending to return to the city, Ye SangSang resorted to using her unborn child to threaten Lin Xia to approve the divorce.
With no other choice left, Lin Xia agreed to the divorce and allowed her to return to high-school, but the plan was set to fail, as Ye SangSang was not a studious and hardworking person.
She could not successfully complete her program, and her life turned grim and harsh quickly.
Furthermore, her relationships with her family did not heal too, in fact, it had worsened further. Not long after she had left for the countrysides, her brother had married a woman and she had given birth to a son, and taking into account that she won’t be back until four years later, Ye SangSang’s parents had allowed her nephew to stay in her room for the time being.
After showing up at her own house suddenly, she kicked her nephew out of her room and demanded to be served like a princess. Her family somewhat agreed to it too, as they were guilty and felt apologetic to her for sending her to the countryside.
Unfortunately, their actions were not meant to be received in goodwill, as Ye SangSang continued to act like an entirely horrible person and proceeded to destroy the peace of her family by picking fights with her sister-in-law and bullying her nephew. Finally, no longer able to handle her, Ye SangSang’s parents chased her out of the house and told her to stay in the school dorm.
Ye SangSang’s life in the dorms was worse than before, as ten girls would sleep in a single unit and they had to take turns using the bathroom. Ye SangSang would always get into fights with her roommates, resulting in her ultimate isolation at school as no one wanted to be her friend, but still, she did not change her attitude and instead, blame it on others.
Unable to live comfortably as she does not receive much pocket money, and not proceeding much in her studies, Ye SangSang began to have wicked thoughts and resorted to acquiring a long term ‘boyfriend’.
(TNote: a man that spends money, love, and attention on her, basically courting her, while she keeps him hanging/treat him as a ‘brother’/temporary boyfriend until she finds someone else.)
He was handsome, with a somewhat masculine grace and gentleman-like features, plus his family was pretty well-off.
After that, Ye SangSang had treated him as her main focus while giving up on her studies, almost failing to graduate from school. Her ‘boyfriend’ had provided her with a normal white-collar job, but being a lazy woman, she had not put in much effort and often made mistakes, resulting in her higher-ups having an unfavorable impression on her.
Ye SangSang’s ‘boyfriend’, who had sincerely loved her, eventually left her as she was creating too much social troubles for him, plus the fact that he had realized that she was only using him for money. He requested for a breakup, only to be threatened by the pregnant Ye SangSang. He eventually married her, out of his sense of responsibilities, but even so, Ye SangSang became, even more, lazier as a housewife.
She was a housewife only in name, as she would always leave her child with her mother-in-law while she went shopping. Her actions eventually angered her husband, who insisted on a divorce, only to be rejected by her. Angered but unable to do anything else, he resorted to cheating.
When Ye SangSang found out, she was filled with rage and anger, smashing everything in her room before making her way to her husband’s mistress, intending to destroy her, only to be found out by her husband.
He had beaten her up for it and resorted to physical violence and home abuse to vent out his frustrations on her. Unable to take any more beatings, Ye SangSang finally agreed to the divorce, plus it was a clean divorce, where she would not be entitled to any of his properties or money.
By then, Ye SangSang was already a middle-age woman, plus the fact that she did not have much experience in the professional fields, she had no choice but to end up as a cleaning lady, and coincidentally, her employer was a company owned by Lin Xia.
In order to relive her previous life of prosperity, she began showing up frequently in Lin Xia’s office, crying and begging for forgiveness, even using their child to threaten her, but Lin Xia ignored her futile attempts as she had already moved on and fell in love with her destined one, the main protagonist Zhao ZhenZhen.
Unable to accept this situation, Ye SangSang began to conspire against Zhao ZhenZhen, only to fail as the protagonist was well protected by Lin Xia, but Ye SangSang continued on regardless.
Her continuous actions finally angered the blackened Lin Xia, who immediately called the cops on her and finally, she would be tortured and eventually die behind bars.
And THIS, was the character she was supposed to play, the evil and cruel first love of Lin Xia, a woman who shares the exact same name as her.
She used to be a normal and average high-school student, so average that you would not have been able to differentiate her from anyone else… But if one insisted to search for the difference, it would be that she’s only interested in women.
Her cause of death was from a fatal head concussion, as she had knocked her head hard after falling off her bed while she slept. She had sighed at her early death, but there was nothing she could do.
This was when a system called System 001 appeared in her mind, it told her that she would be transported to any different worlds as the first love of the blackened villain.
The system would not have any information on how her character became the first love of Lin Xia, and as for her personality, as long as she maintained her outward behavior properly, it would not be considered as OOC (Out of character) error. Anyways, requirements are set to the lowest for the easier completion of missions by world-hoppers like her.
Nodding slightly, she knew that as long as her Cold Beauty persona was maintained, it would be fine. As for the other personalities such as arrogance and being a lazy conspiring person, were automatically denied by Ye SangSang as she would not be able to maintain it.
What surprised her was that she was sent into the past. It was ten years before the ultimate ending, where she had been sent to the countryside while living a humble life and working daily in the fields.
But fortunately, this body was strong and young, hence even if she would starve frequently, it did not affect her too much as her face and skin had stayed beautiful, unlike the chalk-like paleness of the other villagers.
As she made her way to the village, Ye SangSang froze in shock as she suddenly remembered that she has left Wang Fang up in the mountains!
