Chapter 2: This Marriage Can’t Be Dissolved

This marriage can’t be dissolved.

This was the conclusion Jiang Ning reached after the influx of raw information into her mind.

She never imagined that she would be transported into a script, let alone a small world with such rich character development.

In short, she, the original Jiang Ning, now had a family full of “toxic” and “blood-sucking” relatives, a bunch of “good-for-nothings.”

Oh, and her name was automatically matched too. The original character was called Jiang Yanyan, and possibly for better immersion, the transmitted plot was adjusted to be Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning didn’t really want to be immersed. She was immersed when she acted, but now she was cursed and transported into this world, body and soul.

Besides the vampire family, the original owner had also naively tried to start a small business, which ended up losing a lot of money. In short, she was now in debt.

For her, taking a step back was a wolf’s den, taking a step forward was a tiger’s lair…

However, it wasn’t exactly a tiger’s lair with Lu Dingquan. She could choose to quietly hide.

After all, the supporting character’s personality should be somewhat related to the script. Although this Lu Dingquan was different from what she imagined, he could tolerate her nagging for so long without getting a divorce. He wasn’t cowardly or honest, but his personality was definitely more simple and reliable.

Ah, right, wasn’t he supposed to give her 40 yuan in living expenses every month?!

So this marriage, she absolutely couldn’t get a divorce!

When she didn’t need to be submissive, Jiang Ning usually had a lot of backbone.

But now… she was in a completely unfamiliar place. What was wrong with being a little submissive? What was wrong?

Jiang Ning’s submissiveness was quite righteous. She crossed her arms and said, “You didn’t hear wrong, I’m not getting a divorce. I, I, I was just testing you!”

The more she spoke, the more she felt invigorated. There was a sense of satisfaction in acting out the character.

“Alright, Lu Dingquan, I was only testing you. You exposed your thoughts so easily, didn’t you? You’ve been wanting to divorce me, haven’t you? Fine, you have guts!”

“Anyway, don’t even think about divorce. What’s it called… you have to keep giving me living expenses! Don’t even think about getting rid of me…”

The man who had been silently listening to her chatter suddenly took a step forward.

Jiang Ning stopped talking abruptly.

Was this act a bit too much? But she had been acting this way before…

Lu Dingquan was just a step away from her. He suddenly raised his hand, making Jiang Ning tremble. However, he was handing her the cup of tea in his hand.

He didn’t have any particular expression. He looked down at her, his voice deep: “The scolding is quite pleasant. Have some water, and scold some more.”

Jiang Ning: …

She didn’t understand what kind of personality this character had.

He was supposed to be enduring it all, yet he was calm and composed. He didn’t seem too angry. He was supposed to be out of character, but he did tolerate her nagging.

Jiang Ning was afraid of saying the wrong thing, so she simply threw out a sentence about not getting a divorce and left.

After Lu Dingquan married her, the factory didn’t have separate rooms, so they lived in a tube building in town. It was a house left behind by Lu Dingquan’s parents.

The original owner hated how cramped and small it was, and she also hated how her husband was too cowardly and poor compared to others in the building with the same job. In short, she was very dissatisfied with the living conditions and would argue with him every three days.

Because of this, her husband rarely came back to live after they got married. He would use work as an excuse to sleep in the factory dormitory, looking like he would rather avoid her than confront her.

Jiang Ning walked back home. The environment here was really not good. The hallway was narrow, and many families had coal stoves set up by their doors, staining the walls with a layer of grease.

“Oh, Xiao Ning is back. You’re quite early.”

She met a neighbor from the same floor. The person greeted her with a smile on their face, but their eyes held a layer of mocking scrutiny.

Jiang Ning thought it was because the original owner had bad relationships, but many people passed by her with strange looks.

She entered the house, confused.

However, she occasionally glanced at the mirror and saw the face reflected in it, and Jiang Ning was completely shocked.

Good heavens!

What happened to her face? If you didn’t know any better, you’d think she had been beaten up!

In the mirror, her face was painted with a layer of white powder as pale as the wall, two thick, monkey-butt blush patches, which even monkeys would kneel down and call their ancestors after seeing them. There were also two thick eyebrows that looked like caterpillars…

Jiang Ning almost knelt down on the spot.

The plot only mentioned that the original owner loved to be pretty and dress up, but it didn’t say she liked to do magic!

No wonder Lu Dingquan didn’t have any temper with her in the factory.

Looking at a monkey jumping in front of you, it’s hard to hold back your laughter, let alone get angry!

Fortunately, the room they lived in had a small bathroom, so Jiang Ning didn’t have to go to the public bathroom to wash off the stuff on her face.

However, it didn’t matter. The looks those neighbors gave her earlier now had an answer.

Jiang Ning quickly washed her face and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the mirror, a towel gently wiped over a clean, fair, oval face.

The woman’s eyebrows were as delicate as willows, her eyes clear and long, her straight nose, and under it were two full, pink lips. She pursed her lips and carefully leaned closer to the mirror to take a look.

Sure enough, her lips were a bit chapped and peeling. Jiang Ning frowned slightly.

This face of hers wasn’t the kind that would make everyone fall for her, but it could be described as clear and elegant, her features were flawless.

How else could she be a professional at playing villains in the industry? Villainous supporting roles, even if they were stupid, had to have good looks, beautiful.

But don’t think about that now. She was transported into this era, let alone doing her old job, even earning enough to eat was a hassle.

Jiang Ning calmed down and examined the overall environment of the house.

It was just a combined room, not big, but the layout was good, square. It was divided into two sides with cloth curtains. There was a bed inside, with a wardrobe and a dressing table next to it. On the other side of the curtain was a small round table for eating, two chairs, some daily necessities, and a two-seater low-back sofa.

Just these things filled the room, making it crowded and cluttered.

She opened the wardrobe. The clothes inside were similar to what the crew had provided her, with more gaudy colors and styles, fitting the character.

But… it was strange, why was there nothing to eat in this house?

Their house was like the neighbors’, with a stove built by the door, but judging by its cleanliness, it was clear that the original owner was too lazy to cook.

Right, didn’t her husband give her living expenses every month?

Jiang Ning was just about to excitedly reach for her pocket when she remembered something. This month’s living expenses had already been spent lavishly by the original owner.

She touched her empty pocket and felt like crying.

Her stomach was also rumbling. Where could she get something to eat?

Suddenly, a series of urgent knocks came from the door.

“Knock knock knock—”

“Xiao Ning, Xiao Ning?”
