Chapter 2 (2/2)

She pinched her thigh. Ouch. Ji Man resolutely became clear-headed. She opened her eyes and looked at the scene in front of her as if she had vaguely figured out some disastrous information.

She had really transmigrated as Nie Sangyu.

She stretched her hand out and slapped herself to make sure that she really wasn't dreaming. Ji Man didn't react for a few minutes, then she closed her eyes and took deep breaths.

It would have been a better alternative to transmigrate into any other character than this second female lead that was doomed to die. What should she do? Should she kill herself off with a knife so that she could have an earlier ending?

No, she couldn't do something so pa.s.sive and negative. As a modern day career woman, she was willing to tirelessly work like a dog to buy a house, so why couldn't she do her best to save her life?

She suddenly heard a voice by her ear say, ”Help me… I can't accept this.”

Ji Man sighed. Nie Sangyu's deep obsession must have dragged her, the innocent reader, into the story. Heavens, please have pity on me! She had only been read a novel to pa.s.s the time!

Seeing that Nie Sangyu wasn't showing any reaction, the older female servant at the doorway couldn't resist feeling impatient. She called out again, ”Master Sangyu.”

”I know. Let my change my clothes. My current clothing isn't appropriate.” Ji Man stood up and did her best to smile at the older female servant. Then, she turned her head and said to young servant girl that was on the floor, ”Muxu, stand up and help me change my clothes.”

Did that sound right? Did her words sound like the words that people from ancient times would say? She hadn't carefully read through that novel. However, it shouldn't be that hard to mimic the way that people spoke here. Her imitation should be good enough to not expose her secret at least.

When the young servant girl on the floor heard these words, she raised her head in surprise. But, she didn't dare to directly look at her. She ran towards a cabinet to look for clothes right after she stammered out, ”Understood.”

Ji Man followed her and swept her gaze across the clothing. House Nie was a wealthy and famous family, so Nie Sangyu was naturally very wealthy. Although her status had been demoted, she still had her extremely gorgeous and fas.h.i.+onable clothing.

Since the unfathomable thing had already happened, she would act as Nie Sangyu for a while until things went back to normal. Ji Man seriously contemplated what she should be doing next to avoid Nie Sangyu's fate. May the heavens protect her. She was still planning on going back and collecting her year-end bonus!
