Chapter 1: Directly Transmigrated to the Scene of Being Captured by the Villain**

When Shen Yingying woke up, she found herself being held tightly against a tree trunk.

The person was clutching her neck, seemingly wishing her dead, using extreme force, her neck felt like it was about to be crushed.

Shen Yingying was almost scared to death. She was clearly sleeping at home, how could she appear here?

Could it be that her ex-boyfriend, whom she had dumped, had come for revenge?

Without time to think more, her survival instinct for self-preservation made her quickly weaken and beg for mercy.

“Big brother! Be gentle, be gentle, my neck is going to break! A gentleman uses words, not violence, let’s talk things over. I only have two legs, I can’t run out of your grasp, there must be a misunderstanding between us…”

Unexpectedly, after these words came out, the person behind her not only didn’t let go, but instead increased his strength, hurting Shen Yingying so much that tears streamed down her face.

“Gentleman?”

A hoarse and low voice from the man rang out behind her: “You say I’m a gentleman? Did I hear wrongly? You even called me a beast. Shen Yingying, are you scared?”

After the words fell, he laughed lowly, “I didn’t expect you to have a day of fear.”

The warm breath brushed against her ear, raising goosebumps all over her body. Shen Yingying’s head went numb, as if a certain switch had been suddenly turned on.

Countless memory fragments that didn’t belong to her flooded in.

In a short moment, she grasped the key points from those messy memory fragments.

–She had transmigrated!

Transmigrated into a novel set in a bygone era that she had read a few days ago, becoming the wife of the villain Xie Fangzhu, Shen Yingying, who shared the same name and surname as her.

When she realized this, Shen Yingying almost died on the spot.

In the novel, Xie Fangzhu marrying the original owner was forced.

Xie Fangzhu was the child of a landlord, his parents passed away when he was very young, and he was taken in by the kind-hearted grandfather of the original owner.

Although he was taken in, his life was still not easy.

Where the original owner’s grandfather couldn’t see, the other Shen family members all thought he was a landlord’s offspring.

They didn’t treat him like a human, often beating and scolding him, treating him like a dog. Even the rats in the Shen family had a higher status than him.

After finally reaching adulthood, his uncle, who had become prominent, found connections to get him into the coal mine as a worker, finally escaping the original owner’s family.

But unexpectedly, the original owner was rejected by her fiancé, her reputation was ruined, and she couldn’t find a good match.

The Shen family then forced Xie Fangzhu, who had become a worker, to marry the original owner.

Although this marriage was disadvantageous to Xie Fangzhu, the original owner didn’t think so, and even didn’t let him touch her after marriage.

She believed that Xie Fangzhu would always be an inferior landlord’s offspring, and if she didn’t marry him, he would definitely be a bachelor for life, ridiculed by others.

She was able to marry him, allowing him to shed the embarrassing title of a bachelor, and he should be content.

Xie Fangzhu didn’t make a fuss either, going along with her wishes, and even gave her half of his salary on time every month.

His attitude made the original owner become even more demanding.

Looking down on him, thinking he was not a man, a weakling not even as good as livestock, she finally ran off with a man from another place who claimed to be the director of a state-owned factory.

Before running away, she even tricked him out of all his savings, smugly mocking him for being a fool, and would definitely help count the money even after being sold.

As the big villain who could almost make the male and female protagonists unable to turn over, Xie Fangzhu was naturally not a stupid fool like a pig.

He was an extremely vengeful person. The inhuman torture he suffered in the Shen family as a child was all记在心里 (remembered in his heart), and one day he would return it all.

The Shen family forcing him to marry the original owner was like actively sending a “prey” to his door.

After marrying her, he was like before, no matter what she wanted, he would unconditionally go along with her.

In the eyes of the people in the mining area, Xiao Xie was a very good man to his wife.

Holding her in his hands for fear of dropping her, holding her in his mouth for fear of melting her, as long as it was what his wife wanted, even the moon in the sky would be picked down.

Unfortunately, his wife was not a good person, she was restless, she was fickle.

Such a contrast made some enthusiastic people in the mining area wish they could take action and beat that woman up for the poor Xiao Xie.

That’s why, when he swaggered back with the original owner who had eloped with someone, and broke her legs as soon as he got home.

His previous “laying the groundwork” of enduring humiliation also took effect.

None of the neighbors in the mining area and acquaintances sympathized with the original owner, and no one reached out to help.

Instead, they believed that Xie Fangzhu had finally toughened up, and a woman who didn’t abide by the rules of womanhood deserved this kind of end!

The original owner, whose legs were broken, lost her freedom from then on.

Xie Fangzhu locked her up, raising her like a dog.

All the torture he had suffered in the Shen family was inflicted on her.

The original owner fell from heaven to hell in an instant, wishing she could die, but the demon Xie Fangzhu didn’t even give her the qualification to die.

She quickly went mad.

The things happening inside the house were unknown to outsiders.

All they knew was that the original person couldn’t bear the failure of her elopement and went insane, becoming a crazy person who couldn’t take care of herself.

And her man, Xie Fangzhu, not only didn’t leave her, but instead took care of her persistently, truly a rare good man in a hundred years. The original person was so ungrateful!

Thinking about the original person’s final ending, Shen Yingying’s legs trembled like a bamboo sieve.

Xie Fangzhu was a madman, and a physically strong one at that.

And now, this terrifying madman was right behind her.

With her small body, she was no match for him.

What to do?

She didn’t hesitate for long and decided to tell him that she was not the original person.

Although this sounded absurd, Xie Fangzhu was cautious and suspicious. Faced with two completely different personalities, he might actually give her some time to explain.

Moreover, whether or not he believed her, as long as she could get some time to talk, she could perform and have a chance to escape his clutches.

But as soon as she opened her mouth, it was as if an invisible hand was choking her throat, and no sound came out.

Could it be the unwritten rule of this world?

To pull someone over to take the blame, but not even let the one taking the blame speak out? Such arrogance!

Shen Yingying was angry! But being angry didn’t help. She was just a fish on the chopping block, with no choice but to bite the bullet and think of other ways.

Suddenly, she remembered that from the beginning to the end, the original person’s attitude toward Xie Fangzhu never changed.

Even when her legs were broken, she never bowed her head, and her words were even harsher than usual.

And Xie Fangzhu liked this attitude of hers, because it made him feel more justified in using even more ruthless methods to torment her.

So…

Would showing weakness work on him?

This thought suddenly shook her mind, and she quickly adjusted her emotions.

With her eyes slightly reddened, she weakly apologized, “Xie Fangzhu, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have hidden it from you…”

Behind her, Xie Fangzhu was stunned for a moment.

Then, as if hearing something funny, he sneered, “Hide it from me?”

In the next moment, he rudely flipped her over, grabbing her jaw tightly.

His eyes, dark like the cold night, stared at her, and his voice was cold and sinister, like a bloodthirsty beast: “Are you telling me that next time you run off with your lover, I should be told beforehand? Shen Yingying, do you think I’m as stupid as you?”

Shen Yingying’s back slammed against the tree behind her, and the pain made her suck in a breath.

With this hit, she finally got a clear look at the terrifying antagonist from the book.
