Chapter 1: The Vegetable Zhou Changdong: “My Wife’s Going to Run Away!”

“Changdong was so promising, who would’ve thought he’d be carried back like this!” “I heard he became a vegetable!” “Yeah, his life is probably over.” “It’s truly tragic. I bet his wife is definitely going to run away!” “Does that even need saying? How could that wasteful little vixen be willing to stay and serve him?” “Want to leave? The Zhou family won’t agree!” “What if they don’t agree? When the sky wants to rain and a mother wants to marry, can you stop it?” “Exactly, the Su family wouldn’t let their daughter waste her life like this either!” “There’s definitely going to be a big fuss about this!” “…”

All the neighbors nearby were discussing the major event that happened today.

Meanwhile, Su Lüyun, the center of the discussion, who had just realized she had a strange encounter in the house, was completely dumbfounded!

Who would have thought that overnight, she would actually transmigrate into her cousin’s malicious novel?

Her cousin was an online writer, but her income was very unstable, belonging to the type that needed to “settle down” in the online literature circle.

However, her cousin was too ambitious and didn’t want to be down-to-earth. She wanted Su Lüyun to help promote and hype her novel.

Su Lüyun patiently explained that a good novel would become popular even without her promotion, and if a bad one was promoted by her, it would only attract a bunch of anti-fans!

Because she had specifically read her cousin’s novel, the quality simply couldn’t withstand the scrutiny of her anti-fans, word by word!

She also understood her cousin’s personality well; she hadn’t experienced much and was very sensitive.

But her cousin wouldn’t listen, saying that she would disown people once she became famous, even though they used to play together when they were kids!

She even mobilized many relatives in the family group to persuade her!

Su Lüyun was displeased when she saw this.

The reason she was able to stand out in the entertainment industry was not just her excellent looks and acting skills, but also her extremely strong inner core!

Could she be someone who could be morally coerced? Impossible.

She directly told her cousin, “Good writing will prevail, keep improving!”

And then there was no “then.”

The next time she heard about her cousin, it was her mother furiously sending her a link!

Her mother said her cousin was truly awful, that she had actually written a novel using her as cannon fodder, portraying her as miserable beyond belief. Her character was simply venomous and twisted!

Su Lüyun then opened her cousin’s novel link.

It was a period novel set in the 1980s.

Her own plotline wasn’t extensive, but she was precisely the biggest highlight in the novel.

No other reason than she was the ultimate villainess in her cousin’s book.

Su Lüyun, detached from the situation, skimmed through the novel.

Under the influence of anger, her cousin’s novel truly had a qualitative leap, because it portrayed her, the “undefeatable villainess,” so well.

It constantly delivered resounding slaps to her face, making readers exclaim in satisfaction!

Although she was written like this, Su Lüyun just tossed it aside after reading it because she was too busy. Where would she find the time to think about so much?

She still had many announcements to rush to.

Unexpectedly, in just one night’s sleep, she had actually transmigrated into her cousin’s book!

And she had become the cannon fodder ex-wife of the big shot in the book, Zhou Changdong—Su Lüyun!

Given the current situation, most people would be at a loss, but who was Su Lüyun?

A rising star in the new generation of the entertainment industry, she had fought her way out with strong ability. She completely adopted an attitude of “since she’s here, she’ll make the best of it”!

Her gaze turned to the man lying on the hospital bed—Zhou Changdong.

In the book, Zhou Changdong, this future capitalist big shot, didn’t have much screen time because he wasn’t the male lead; he was just the male lead’s childhood friend.

Although his screen time wasn’t much, every appearance was significant, starting with a face-slap!

Whose face was being slapped?

Of course, it was hers!

Every time this ex-wife—who abandoned her husband, was financially and romantically scammed by a scumbag, and then returned—relentlessly pestered Zhou Changdong, it would provoke readers to angrily curse her shamelessness!

It really tugged at readers’ emotions.

It also made her, the “villainess,” exceptionally successful!

But Su Lüyun, honestly, would say that although the paper character in the book wanting a divorce after Zhou Changdong was brought back was indeed a bit realistic and pragmatic, which twenty-something-year-old girl could stay loyal to a comatose husband her whole life?

It would be different if there were feelings, but the paper character and Zhou Changdong had no emotional foundation.

They met through a normal arranged meeting.

Three years ago, Su Lüyun and her cousin were introduced to Zhou Changdong and his childhood friend Ling Wenchuan.

Zhou Changdong had reported back to get married.

But on their wedding night, a comrade from nearby urgently came looking for him, and Zhou Changdong left without even consummating the marriage. He was gone for three years.

During those three years, he was out of contact, not even sending a single letter.

The paper character waited for him at home for three years.

So, even though they were married for three years, what kind of emotional foundation could they have?

Now that he was a vegetable, her inability to stay and her desire for a divorce was actually quite natural.

At twenty-two, in the prime of her life, who would want to wither away like that? It wasn’t like he had saved her life!

If he had saved her life, she would have to stay and care for him, but he hadn’t!

So Su Lüyun truly didn’t think there was anything wrong with what the paper character did.

However, after being scammed financially and romantically by a scumbag, to return and relentlessly pester him, especially when Zhou Changdong wasn’t willing to remarry, she even debased herself, becoming a loose woman!

To be with other men while still bothering Zhou Changdong—that’s not something an ordinary person would do.

But as a cannon fodder supporting character in the book, seeking her own demise was her destiny.

Su Lüyun composed herself and looked at the unconscious Zhou Changdong. Even she, a rising star in the entertainment industry who had seen countless male gods and top idols, had to admit that this man was truly handsome.

With the typical buzz cut of a soldier, his features were sharp, his eyebrows and eyes refined. Although his eyes weren’t open, she had seen him three years ago, and the memory was still there. No need for much description; he was just ruggedly handsome!

His height also matched her aesthetic; he was 1.85 meters tall, long-limbed. Even though he was unconscious now, he was still handsome enough to evoke pity.

After all, to highlight her, the cannon fodder ex-wife, as blind, the great Zhou Changdong was perfect in terms of looks, personality, and ability!

He even surpassed the male lead, Ling Wenchuan!

The purpose of creating such a perfect ex-husband was, of course, not to benefit her, but to make her, the cannon fodder, regret missing out on such a great man for the rest of her life!

Just as she was thinking this, Su Lüyun saw a line of text appear out of thin air on Zhou Changdong’s forehead: [Given how I am now, she’s probably going to run away.]

Su Lüyun rubbed her eyes. Had she seen it wrong?

She looked again, very sure she hadn’t made a mistake; there was indeed a line of text!

Having read many scripts and original novels, she quickly realized that this was the man’s inner thoughts!

If she could calmly accept transmigrating into a book, then being able to see this big shot’s inner thoughts wasn’t a big deal, right?

So, while the man appeared to be unconscious, his mind was actually clear!

That made sense; otherwise, how could he have woken up later and achieved success?

Su Lüyun hadn’t intended to follow the plotline in her cousin’s book anyway; she didn’t want to be cannon fodder and constantly get slapped in the face!

And now, after seeing that line of text on Zhou Changdong’s forehead, Su Lüyun’s foxy eyes, filled with cunning, couldn’t help but gleam.

Since his consciousness was clear, then her work had arrived!

According to the plot in her cousin’s book, this period was the darkest moment in the life of this big shot, Zhou Changdong!

But a woman’s three tears can break your heart.

Shouldn’t she put on a show for him?

She had to coax him until he was completely devoted!

Su Lüyun gathered her emotions, ready to start a crying scene from scratch!

Crying scenes were what she, as an actress, excelled at the most. It was just a shame she wasn’t born in the right era; otherwise, a certain auntie would have treasured her!

Because she could cry on cue, with tears in her eyes, about to fall but not quite, and she could make a tear fall exactly when she uttered a specific word!

Her tears weren’t like a bursting dam; they were like pearls on a broken string!

Her fans would sharply comment: “When Yunyun cries, even the Emperor of Heaven is at fault!”
