Chapter 1: Transmigrating into a Book

"Forty-five taels is already the highest price. Cheng Songer, tell me if you will sell this man!"

A sharp and piercing middle-aged male voice sounded in her ears, causing Cheng Songer's ears to buzz for a moment.

She stiffly looked around. In front of her was an ancient and elegant embroidery building, with various colored curtains hanging on the railings, swaying in the wind. Amidst the strong and suffocating scent of powder, she slowly lifted her head and saw three characters written on the signboard of the embroidery building.

Yihong Building

Cheng Songer was dumbfounded.

"I'm asking you a question! Why are you mute?!" The old and faded madam had a shrewd look on her face. She tapped Cheng Songer's arm with her red-painted nails.

Cheng Songer shivered and took a step back. Her somewhat sluggish mind began to work.

She started to realize that she had transmigrated, and the original body she transmigrated into was also named Cheng Songer.

"Alright then, considering that this man you're selling has a decent appearance, I'll add another five taels of silver. Fifty taels is the maximum! When we bought the courtesan of Yihong Building back then, it was only thirty taels. You're really lucky!" The madam shook the pink handkerchief in her hand and stared intently at Cheng Qingzhi standing beside her.

Cheng Songer, a lazy idler, never expected to have such a handsome and spirited man in her family! This is truly a rare and valuable item!

His fair face was as pure as freshly laundered white silk, and it seemed like water could be squeezed out with a touch. He had a pair of serene phoenix eyes, with thick and distinct eyelashes. Especially under the corner of his eye, there was a small beauty mark, giving him a slightly coquettish look.

If it was just pure coquettishness, it would be fine. But unfortunately, he had a pure and innocent face. In stark contrast, Cheng Qingzhi was like a semi-ripe cherry, emitting an enticing fragrance that attracted countless bees and butterflies. Taking a bite, it was a mix of sourness and sweetness, with juice flowing out.

The madam's heart blossomed with joy. Such a top-quality item could probably be sold for a hundred taels on the first night! It's just a pity that he's a bit too thin, like a slender bamboo swaying in the desolate autumn wind. A little force could easily break him in two, showing signs of long-term abuse.

At this moment, Cheng Qingzhi was standing next to Cheng Songer, his eyes lowered.

He knew that he was about to be sold, his expression filled with sorrow and despair. Even the beauty mark at the corner of his eye seemed to dim along with his dying heart.

With a smile, how many of the sold young men are willing?

Seeing Cheng Songer's silence, the madam directly stuffed fifty taels of silver into Cheng Songer's hand.

Cheng Songer weighed the weight in her hand, it was quite heavy.

She finally realized that she had transmigrated into a bad situation.

Last night, she was bored lying on her dormitory bed and passed the time by reading a female protagonist novel. Because the name of the female cannon fodder who flirted with the male lead in the book was the same as hers, she had a deep impression.

As everyone knows, when reading a novel and encountering a character with the same name as oneself, one must read and memorize the entire text.

The original work only had a few words about Cheng Songer.
