Chapter 1

On the outskirts of town, by the river, in the tall reeds…

“Qingning, I’m feeling terrible, just give it to me.”

The man gasped for breath, his voice thick with a heavy nasal tone, his hand reaching impatiently towards the woman’s clothes.

“Director Liao, don’t do this, I’m already married…”

The woman’s voice trembled slightly, her hands instinctively protecting her chest.

“Your man went off to join the army, he’s been gone for four years, he doesn’t care about you, he probably already found someone else.”

The man looked at the woman with lust in his eyes, continuing:

“You’re such a delicate flower, you’ve been alone every day, it breaks my heart to see you like this…”

As he spoke, the man could no longer hold back, he suddenly pounced.

“Bang.”

With a dull thud, the woman he had thrown to the ground hit her head hard on a protruding tree stump, and immediately fainted…

In a daze, Xia Qingning slowly opened her eyes, only to see a man pressing down on her, his shirt buttons undone, his neck bare.

The man’s gaze fell on her chest, where a bright red birthmark on her snow-white skin was particularly alluring and seductive.

The man couldn’t stand the stimulation, his mouth suddenly went dry, he could no longer hold back, and lowered his head to kiss her.

Xia Qingning was horrified, she didn’t have time to think, she instinctively kicked him with her leg and shouted:

“Get out…”

The man was caught off guard and kicked away, after regaining his senses, he immediately reached out to cover Xia Qingning’s mouth.

Before the man could touch her, Xia Qingning quickly got up and ran out.

Pushing aside the outermost layer of reeds, a large river suddenly appeared before her.

Looking back at the man who was chasing after her, Xia Qingning gritted her teeth, and with a “plop” she jumped into the water.

She knew how to swim, so she had dared to jump down just now, but for some reason, as soon as she entered the water, her legs felt like they were filled with lead, she couldn’t move at all, and quickly sank to the bottom.

The man who was chasing after her saw this and was immediately dumbfounded, he hesitated for a moment, didn’t rescue her, and turned and ran away.

“Help! Help! Someone fell into the river!”

After a long while, a passerby discovered the fallen Xia Qingning and began to call for help.

Soon, a crowd gathered on the shore, but no one dared to jump in to save her, it was no wonder, it was the flood season, the river was deep and fast, it was very likely that they wouldn’t be able to save the person, and they would also be lost.

Just then, a tall man carrying a suitcase walked over, he glanced at the river surface, quickly took off his military uniform, and with a dive he plunged into the water, swimming towards Xia Qingning.

Xia Qingning, who was rescued ashore, slowly regained consciousness, in a daze, a strange yet familiar face came into her eyes.

The man in front of her was exceptionally handsome, with deep and three-dimensional features, cold eyes, obviously not the sleazy man in the reeds just now.

The two looked at each other for a moment, the man’s expression suddenly became a little unnatural, then he quickly looked away, said nothing, and turned and strode away.

Xia Qingning then realized that her clothes were open, revealing a large patch of snow-white skin, the synthetic fabric dress became transparent when wet, clinging tightly to her body, now it was virtually useless, the thin fabric could not cover the ups and downs of her chest.

This full display of spring scenery, no wonder the man’s gaze just now was so unnatural.

Xia Qingning felt extremely embarrassed, subconsciously curled up her legs, hugged herself with both hands, trying to minimize the exposure.

The man walked to a distance, raised his head and took off the wet vest on his body, Xia Qingning unintentionally looked over, only to see the clear and sharp muscle lines on his body, especially the tight abdomen, the abdominal muscles were clearly defined, obviously the result of long-term training.

The man’s physique was too visually impactful, Xia Qingning, who was a virgin, blushed slightly and turned her head away.

She couldn’t understand what was going on, she was clearly sleeping in the dormitory, how did she suddenly get here?

Just then, her head hurt, and suddenly a lot of memories that didn’t belong to her flooded in.

After receiving those memories, she realized that she had transmigrated.

She had transmigrated into a period drama written by her college classmate Mo Chunxiao, becoming the stupid and clumsy, unlucky ex-wife of the male lead, who was eventually tricked and jumped into the lake to die.

In the book, the male lead Lu Jingzhe returned home from the army to visit his family, got drunk, and the next day he was found lying in bed with his brother’s newly arrived, clumsy and ugly fiancée.

Even though Lu Jingzhe knew he hadn’t done anything, in the eyes of outsiders, they had already cooked the rice, and under duress, he could only agree to marry her.

Half a month later, Lu Jingzhe returned to the army, and when he came back four years later, the original owner had already lost her virginity to the workshop director, and was pregnant with his child.

The original owner hid the fact that she was pregnant, and followed Lu Jingzhe to the army.

In the army, she met the female lead of the book – the youngest daughter of the deputy chief of staff, Mo Xiaoxiao, who was not only beautiful and gentle and kind, but also talented, she was almost the dream girl of all the unmarried men in the army.

But Mo Xiaoxiao was in love with Lu Jingzhe, who was already married, she rejected all the pursuers, and fell in love with him uncontrollably but restrainedly.

Later, the original owner’s child was born, but he was disabled and mentally retarded, the original owner felt that she was the one who created this karma, she became mentally unstable, and went crazy all day long.

Even so, the male lead didn’t abandon her and her son, later the child’s true identity was revealed, the original owner was ashamed and unbearable, and finally jumped into the lake with her child and committed suicide.

Without the obstacle of his ex-wife, Mo Xiaoxiao finally moved Lu Jingzhe with her deep love, the two got married and lived happily ever after.

This period drama was discovered by a roommate who loved to read novels in Xia Qingning’s dormitory, and it was easy to deduce from the names of the protagonists that the writer was Mo Chunxiao, a classmate.

This Mo Chunxiao came from a poor mountain village, her original family was not good, her father drank and gambled all day long, the family’s life depended on her mother setting up a snack stall, Mo Chunxiao’s grades were good, but she was sensitive and inferior, with a strange temper, few people in the class were willing to associate with her.

Xia Qingning didn’t live in the same dorm as her, and they rarely spoke to each other.

The reason why Mo Chunxiao was so hostile to Xia Qingning, giving the stupid ex-wife in the book the same name as her, and arranging such a tragic ending for her, was probably because there was a rumor that Lu Jinze, the grass king, liked Xia Qingning, and Lu Jinze happened to be the person Mo Chunxiao had been secretly in love with.

Mo Chunxiao YY her own love story with her secret crush, Xia Qingning couldn’t control it.

But she took herself as a hypothetical enemy, gave the ex-wife in the book her own name, and described her as stupid and clumsy, it was purely disgusting.

Fortunately, she transmigrated in time, and didn’t let the workshop director get his way, otherwise, according to the plot of the book, she would have lost her virginity, and she would have been passive.

After she sorted out the plot, a group of people surrounded her.

“Amitabha, she’s alive! She’s alive! It scared me to death!”

A kind-faced auntie said, then asked with concern:

“Girl, are you okay, look at this pretty little face, if something really happened, your parents would cry to death!”

“That’s right, you’re lucky to have met someone who can swim, otherwise you would have been lost today…”

The people around her also said quickly.

“Achoo…” Xia Qingning was about to speak, but she sneezed first.

The wind was strong by the river, Xia Qingning was only wearing a thin skirt, which was also wet, and when she was blown by the wind, she couldn’t help but shiver.

A kind-hearted auntie saw her like this and said busy:

“Look at this, it’s all wet, go home and change your clothes, be careful to get sick later.” She was about to help her up.

Xia Qingning’s clothes were now virtually useless, how could she stand up.

Soon everyone also noticed her embarrassment, but no one was willing to give her a piece of clothing.

It’s not strange, let alone that everyone didn’t bring extra clothes when they went out, even if they did, in this era, food needs food stamps, cloth needs cloth stamps, who would be so generous to give a stranger a piece of clothing.

Just when Xia Qingning was embarrassed and helpless, a large piece of clothing was draped over her.

She looked up and met a pair of amber eyes, it was the man who had just rescued her.

Before she could thank him, the man had already gotten up and left.

He was tall and long-legged, and he crossed a long distance in a few steps, leaving only a tall back.

“This soldier is really good, he saved people and gave clothes.”

“That’s right, that’s right, such good clothes, it’s obviously not cheap, he just gave it away.”

“He didn’t even leave his name or surname, he didn’t even try to get close to the girl, it’s really rare.”

Amidst the praise, Xia Qingning looked thoughtfully at the figure in military green, no wonder she felt strange and familiar when she saw him for the first time.

This man was eight or nine points similar to Lu Jinze in the real world, but after all, he was a paper person, his features and body proportions were even more superior.

But obviously, her cheap husband didn’t recognize her.

It’s not strange to think about it, Lu Jingzhe didn’t spend half a month with the original owner before he left, and he left for four years.

At that time, the original owner had just come from the countryside, she was not yet 16 years old, because of long-term malnutrition, she was thin as a bean sprout, her skin was sallow and her figure was short, she hadn’t fully grown up.

Her personality was also timid and cowardly, she always lowered her head and walked around him when facing him, he hadn’t even seen her face a few times.

And in the four years after Lu Jingzhe left, the original owner was in the city, her food and clothing were greatly improved, she also went to work in a state-owned factory, and learned some dressing and dressing, she grew taller, became whiter, and her figure became more curvaceous.

It can be said that she was reborn, completely different from before.

I don’t know what Lu Jingzhe’s expression would be when he saw her now.
