Su Guan had been transported into a book, becoming the evil supporting female character with the same name and surname as hers in an ancient book about a spoiled fake daughter she had read before.
Previously, she had harshly criticized this book to her roommate who recommended it to her.
At that time, she had boldly claimed that if she were in the place of the character, she could play her cards right to the end, and even more so.
Her roommate mocked her for daydreaming, pointing out that she didn't have the omniscient perspective of a reader.
Su Guan lay in bed, her eyes empty as she processed the memories flooding in, taking a long time to accept the fact that she had been transported into a book.
Just an hour ago, the Gu family had taken back their biological daughter, Gu Yue, and now they were sending back the original host, the fake daughter Su Guan, the evil supporting character in the book.
The original host did not want to return to the poor and rural Su family. She wanted to stay in the Gu family and continue living as their pampered daughter, so she begged her adoptive mother, Madam Gu, not to send her away.
However, Madam Gu was adamant, and regardless of Su Guan's crying and pleading, she would not change her mind. In the struggle, Su Guan cried so hard that she couldn't catch her breath and even spat out blood, eventually fainting.
Seeing this, Madam Gu had no choice but to temporarily send her to a guest room and call a doctor to examine her.
…
An hour later, it was Gu Guan in the room, no, it was Su Guan, because she was no longer a daughter of the Gu family.
Su Guan, overwhelmed with anger and unwillingness, lost consciousness. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a different soul, as the modern Su Guan had traveled into the body of Su Guan from a book.
She had just graduated from college and started working, receiving her first annual salary. So, she decided to treat herself to a small piece of gold jewelry at a jewelry store, as she was a practical person who liked gold. She didn’t find it tacky because gold retains its value.
She set her eyes on a 30-gram gold ring, thinking she'd just indulge her desire without actually buying it. However, a sports car suddenly lost control and crashed into the store, hitting her.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself here, spending quite some time sorting out the jumbled memories in her head.
She had transmigrated into a historical romance novel she had just finished reading, becoming the story's primary evil female character, Su Guan. The novel's heroine, Gu Yue, had swapped identities with her for thirteen years and was the true daughter of a wealthy family.
Old Master Gu was a landlord in Qinghe County. He had a lawful wife, Madam Gu, and two beautiful concubines. One of these concubines, who was a sworn enemy of Madam Gu, was greatly favored by Old Master Gu. Madam Gu, childless at the time, feared that the concubine bearing a son would threaten her position. So, she sabotaged the concubine's fertility with a dose of medicine.
The concubine harbored deep resentment for this. Coincidentally, when Madam Gu was giving birth, a servant in the household, Su Yangshi, who worked in the kitchen, was also in labor. Both gave birth to daughters. To exact revenge on Madam Gu, the concubine swapped the babies, making Madam Gu raise someone else's daughter while her own biological daughter endured hardships.
Thirteen years later, the truth came to light, leading to the scene where Su Guan vomited blood in anger.
In the original story, she didn't die. She fainted and was taken back to the Su family. Despite her attempts to visit, she was repeatedly denied by Madam Gu.
"What a dramatic turn of events," Su Guan couldn't help but complain inwardly.
The Gu family were landlords in Qinghe County, while the Su family were rural people with five sons, Su Guan's biological brothers. In the book, these five brothers would later become powerful figures, each remarkable in their own right, and they were very affectionate towards the female protagonist.
Logically, as their sister, Su Guan should have been dearly loved by her brothers. Even if not the only one doted upon, she should at least be treated equally. However, in the original story, Su Guan was depicted as malevolent, resentful about being sent back to the Gu family, and disdainful of her rural parents and brothers. Upon returning, she was full of scorn and envy towards the female lead, who was better than her in every aspect. This led to her twisted behavior and a series of misdeeds. Her relationship with the Su family deteriorated further, especially as the female protagonist occasionally returned to show warmth and cleverness, making the brothers increasingly appreciate Gu Yue. Eventually, the male lead decided to kill Su Guan, and not even her parents were willing to intervene, leading to her downfall.
The supporting female character shared the same name and surname as her, which she found quite jarring. She also thought that Su Guan was foolish for not fostering a good relationship with her five brothers, always courting disaster. If it were her, she would never have let things come to such a pass.
But wait, she was now the Su Guan from the book, and the story had just begun. As she and her roommate had boldly declared, there was still time. Holding a good hand, she could change her brothers' attitudes towards her and turn her life around.
With this thought, Su Guan sprang up energetically.
Footsteps sounded outside the door; several people were approaching. Su Guan quickly lay back down and covered herself with her quilt, only then noticing that the gold ring she was trying on had also come with her into this world, now on her hand.
"What's wrong with her? Why is she vomiting blood? Is it serious?" The speaker was likely the Mama (old maid) by Madam Gu's side.
The doctor shook his head, indicating it wasn't serious:
"She is suffering from extreme distress, which caused the vomiting of blood. She's a bit weak but will recover with a few days of rest and proper care."
Relieved by this news, the Mama felt at ease as long as there was no danger to her life.
Madam Gu was busy accommodating Miss Yue and had no desire to see this 'fake' young lady. Her stance was firm; she did not want her to stay.
Then, she entered the room. Su Guan had already gotten out of bed and was dressing herself. Seeing her enter, they stared at each other.
The Mama was surprised; how could she have recovered so quickly? She didn't seem weak at all.
But she cleared her throat, ready to deliver a message.
Su Guan immediately raised her hand to interrupt.
"I understand, I will leave right now."
The Mama was stunned, not understanding how her attitude had changed so quickly.
"Have you come to a realization?" she asked, looking down at her with a superior attitude.
Su Guan simply nodded her head, then continued to struggle with her cumbersome dress.
She didn't plan to take anything with her, but she had to wear clothes.
"It's good that you've come to understand. Over these years, you've enjoyed all the glory and wealth. Compared to Miss Yue, you are far more fortunate. Don't yearn for things that don't belong to you. A wise person knows how to adapt to circumstances."
The Mama kept nagging beside her, but Su Guan hardly listened to a word.
