Chapter 1: I Open My Eyes and I’m the Rich Family’s Biological Mother

“This is the divorce agreement. I’ve already signed it. Gu Nanyan, I’m letting you go. But once you leave the Shen family, you’re no longer Xiaomumu’s mother.”

Gu Nanyan had just woken up in a daze when she heard this voice.

It was cold, deep, and filled with extreme disappointment.

She turned toward the source of the voice and saw an unbelievably handsome stranger standing there, instantly waking her up in shock.

She didn’t quite understand what the man had said, but seeing him turn to leave, she quickly sat up. As soon as she moved, a sharp pain shot through her head, and unfamiliar memories suddenly flooded her mind.

She shut her eyes and focused on absorbing the new memories. When she opened them again, she was frozen in place.

She had originally been a medical genius, young and awarded countless times, but due to her sleepless research, she had died suddenly in the lab!

And now, she had transmigrated into a book—specifically, into the character with the same name, Gu Nanyan, who was the villainous ex-wife in a CEO romance novel.

The original Gu Nanyan had been a beloved young lady from a wealthy family. Since childhood, she had been betrothed to Shen Suyin from another prestigious family, and they were childhood sweethearts. It was supposed to be a perfect match.

However, during high school, she befriended the black-hearted friend Qin Yuwei.

Qin Yuwei liked Shen Suyin, so she sowed discord between Gu Nanyan and him. She even deliberately arranged for a man to pose as Gu Nanyan’s ideal lover to seduce her. Eventually, Gu Nanyan, heartbroken, insisted on breaking off the engagement with Shen Suyin.

The Gu family naturally disagreed, but on her eighteenth birthday, Qin Yuwei came up with a plan: she drugged Gu Nanyan and got her to sleep with He Yunrui.

However, by a twist of fate, Gu Nanyan ended up sleeping with Shen Suyin.

That one time, Gu Nanyan became pregnant, and the two families forced them to marry. Gu Nanyan gave birth to Shen Suyin’s son, Xiaomumu.

But because of this, she came to resent both families, turning from the pampered princess of two prestigious families to a person everyone disliked.

She never even looked at her son and only thought about running away with He Yunrui.

Just yesterday, in an attempt to elope with He Yunrui, she jumped into a lake to force Shen Suyin to divorce her. Shen Suyin, who had only wanted to keep his son in a complete family, finally signed the divorce papers after being worn down by Gu Nanyan’s actions.

In the book, the original character, Gu Nanyan, got what she wanted and ran away with He Yunrui, but not long after, she was killed by the scumbag after he took out a huge insurance policy on her.

The most tragic part was her son, who, because Gu Nanyan insisted on having Qin Yuwei tutor him, ended up being manipulated by her, and eventually suffered a mental breakdown, going insane.

“Hubby…” Knowing the tragic ending, Gu Nanyan immediately wanted to change the course of things. She called out to the handsome man in front of her, who looked even more refined and charming than described in the book. Nervously swallowing, she said, “Can we not divorce?”

The original character had been foolish, rejecting her prestigious family and loving husband, neglecting her adorable son, and bringing ruin upon herself and her child.

She was determined to rewrite this suffocating ending!

Upon hearing her words, Shen Suyin’s dark eyes were filled only with frustration. “Gu Nanyan, stop playing tricks.”

With that, he turned and walked away.

Gu Nanyan stood frozen in place.

Indeed, the original character had spent four years causing trouble just to get a divorce, and now that he finally agreed, she suddenly wanted to stay. To anyone else, it would look like she had lost her mind.

Looks like she needed to carefully plan her next steps.

One thing was for sure—this divorce was not happening.

“Nan Yan.” A sweet, melodious voice sounded as Qin Yuwei, wearing a pure white dress, entered the room.

After carefully closing the door behind her, she excitedly ran over to Gu Nanyan’s bedside, glancing at the divorce agreement on the table. With an expression she couldn’t suppress, she said, “Shen Suyin finally agreed to divorce you. Nan Yan, you’re free! You can go find your true love now. Congratulations.”

Qin Yuwei eagerly grabbed Gu Nanyan’s hand.

Gu Nanyan looked at the woman who had the face of a goddess but the heart of a snake, and a cold smile formed in her heart.

She pulled her hand away from Qin Yuwei’s grasp and, taking the divorce papers, calmly spoke, “What’s the rush? I haven’t signed it yet.”

“The pen’s right here. Nan Yan, hurry and sign.” Qin Yuwei eagerly handed her a pen.

To Qin Yuwei’s surprise, Gu Nanyan didn’t take the pen. Instead, she smiled at her and then, right in front of her, tore the divorce papers in half. In Qin Yuwei’s shocked gaze, she continued tearing them until they were completely shredded.

“You… what are you doing?” Qin Yuwei couldn’t believe what she was seeing. “He went through so much to get you to sign the divorce papers, and you just tore them up?”

“Because…” Gu Nanyan tossed the torn paper pieces onto the ground and leaned closer to Qin Yuwei, her voice teasing. “I’ve thought it through. I want to live a good life with Shen Suyin.”

She smiled in satisfaction as she watched Qin Yuwei’s eyes widen in shock, her expression frozen in disbelief.

“Nan Yan, you must be out of your mind. I’ll call Dr. Lin to check on you.” Finally, Qin Yuwei concluded that Gu Nanyan had lost her mind and was talking nonsense.

Qin Yuwei promptly went out to summon a doctor.

Gu Nanyan walked over to the large window, taking in the view of Shen Suyin’s private estate.

Shen Suyin was indeed a man of taste. The estate’s layout was exquisite, and the garden was full of blooming flowers in the spring, with bees buzzing, butterflies fluttering, and birds singing. The scene was full of life.

Thinking back to how she had been working tirelessly in the research lab before she transmigrated, Gu Nanyan felt that perhaps this luxurious mansion was the compensation she received from heaven for her sudden death.

The sound of hurried footsteps echoed outside.

Qin Yuwei had indeed brought the family doctor.

Before they could enter, Gu Nanyan walked over, swiftly opening the door.

The doctor, holding a medical kit, stood at the threshold, clearly startled by her actions.

“Madam…”

“It’s not me who’s sick. It’s Teacher Qin who’s sick. Please treat her,” Gu Nanyan immediately interrupted Dr. Lin.

“I’m sick? What illness do I have?” Qin Yuwei asked, baffled.

“You’ve got a mental disorder—a delusion!” Gu Nanyan smirked as she finished speaking, slamming the door shut and locking it behind her.

Dr. Lin and Qin Yuwei stood frozen in place.

“I think the madam seems fine…” Dr. Lin hesitated, then began eyeing Qin Yuwei. Instantly, Qin Yuwei was furious, but she maintained her ladylike composure. “You don’t really think I have a delusion, do you?”

“No, no, I don’t think so. Since the madam is fine, I’ll just take my leave now,” Dr. Lin quickly wiped the sweat off his forehead and hurriedly left.

Qin Yuwei stood there, gritting her teeth and staring at the locked door.

What was going on with her today?

After returning to her room, Gu Nanyan headed straight for the wardrobe mirror.

She was stunned when she saw herself.

For four years, the original character had been a disaster, always wearing long, unflattering clothes, her hair disheveled, and her complexion pale. She looked like a ghost.

But upon closer inspection, her features were delicate, and her large, bright eyes held a certain charm. With a little grooming, she could definitely be considered a beauty.

Gu Nanyan quickly found a simple, elegant light green dress and changed into it. She then combed her hair and tied it back neatly with a light-colored ribbon.

When she looked into the mirror, she was pleasantly surprised at the transformation.

With her simple yet refined appearance, Gu Nanyan went downstairs.

The servants were all shocked to see her like this.

It was the first time in four years they had seen her looking so composed.

“Where’s Suyin?” Gu Nanyan asked, determined to have a serious conversation with Shen Suyin about her decision to not divorce.

The original character had alienated everyone and destroyed her own life. But the real tragedy began the moment she left the Shen family. No matter what, she had to hold onto Shen Suyin and change her fate.
