After Transmigrating as the Vicious Female Supporting Character, I Ran Away While Pregnant - Chapter 1

“Thank you, it’s very quiet here. Ranran and I both like it. Sorry for the trouble.” The woman’s tone was gentle, yet carried a distant coldness that made it difficult to approach her.

“You’re too polite, this is just our job.” The man wore a black suit, his styled hair fixed meticulously in place. His face wore a smile practiced thousands of times since entering society. He spoke with professional courtesy: “I am your accompanying assistant. During the filming period, you can contact me for anything. My phone is on for you twenty-four hours a day.”

“Alright, Guan Tai. We’ve known each other for four years. Not to mention you gave me a blood transfusion at the hospital back then—saving both mine and Ranran’s lives—based on our four-year friendship alone, you shouldn’t be so formal with me.”

“Listen to you! What do you mean ‘known each other for four years’? We were stacking blocks together back when we wore split-seat pants. Are you really determined to make a clean break from the past?” Guan Tai grew a bit upset mentioning this, but he was naturally mild-mannered; no matter how angry he got, his face wouldn’t even turn red. He simply sighed and tried to persuade her again: “Li Sheng, do you really not plan on taking Ranran home to visit?”

“Your parents… they both miss you very much. And your brother—” Guan Tai watched Li Sheng’s expression. Seeing her gaze turn cold, he immediately stopped and changed the subject: “Enough small talk. Casting starts the day after tomorrow. There’s a lot to be busy with. I’ll head out first; call me anytime if you need something.”

“Mhm. I won’t see you out.”

After Guan Tai left, Li Sheng gently closed the door.

In her previous life, she had lived miserably during the apocalypse. Perhaps out of divine pity, she was reborn into this world after her death. However, on the day of her rebirth, she discovered this was the world of a novel she had happened to read in her past life. She had become the vicious female supporting character in the story, and at that time, she was already three months pregnant.

This was an old-school “overbearing CEO” novel. It told the story of a business titan, CEO Ji Ruodong, who had an unattainable “white moonlight” (first love). To ease his longing, he sought out many women who resembled his white moonlight to sign lover contracts.

The female lead, Mo Yueshuang, was a popular young actress. Because her silhouette closely resembled the CEO’s white moonlight, she was subjected to his aggressive “courtship.”

Li Sheng was currently just a brainless supporting character infatuated with the CEO. She had committed all sorts of self-destructive acts, even scheming to have a one-night stand with the CEO, which led to her pregnancy.

In the original plot, the CEO eventually broke off his engagement and ended up with the female lead, Mo Yueshuang, after a series of emotional and physical torments. Meanwhile, this “vicious female supporting character” met a tragic end: her child was snatched away by the CEO, and she became mentally unstable, wandering the streets until her miserable death.

To stay away from the main plotline, Li Sheng fled the country.

While abroad, she turned her observations from her previous life into a biography. By sheer luck, she submitted it to a competition and won a major award, becoming a multi-national bestseller. Now, a Chinese director had chosen to adapt it into a movie, and she had returned this time to serve as the on-set consultant.

—At the same time, she wanted to see if this world with a “predetermined ending” could be changed by human effort.

“Mommy, Mommy! Come quick, come here…”

While Li Sheng was lost in thought, a little girl’s exclamation came from the living room. Li Sheng hurried over: “What is it, baby?”

“Mommy, look! This person looks just like me.”

Little Ranran raised her finger, pointing at the TV screen, her face brimming with the joy of discovering a new world. On the screen, an actress happened to be facing the camera with a faint smile.

Li Sheng only gave a casual glance, but that one look made her see that her own little toddler and that actress looked as if they were carved from the same mold. She was practically a miniature version of the actress—the eyes and brows were similar, and even the corners of the mouth when smiling were identical.

At that moment, the TV drama just happened to end. The ending theme song played, and the cast list slowly scrolled across the screen. Li Sheng saw the first name: Mo Yueshuang — as — Shen Ranjun.

Mo Yueshuang? Mo Yueshuang!

This is the female lead, Mo Yueshuang? Why does her daughter look so much like the female lead?

Li Sheng suddenly felt a headache coming on. She was certain that little Ranran was the child she had carried for seven months and delivered prematurely.

“Mommy, Mommy, she looks so much like me. Did Mommy have two babies?”

The child was still small, but she understood many things in a fragmented way. Although she couldn’t express herself perfectly, Li Sheng understood her meaning.

Between laughter and tears, Li Sheng walked over and crouched in front of Ranran, placing her hands gently on the girl’s shoulders: “Little Ranran, Mommy only has one child. That auntie looks about the same age as Mommy. Even if Mommy had given you an older sister, it couldn’t be her.”

“Then why do we look so much alike?”

“It’s a coincidence. There are many people in this world who look similar; there are even people with no relation at all who look exactly the same.” Li Sheng felt in her heart that this wasn’t so simple. After all, they were living inside a book, and “coincidences” in a novel are often plot points orchestrated by God. But she didn’t dare think too deeply about it; she could only tell Ranran it was a coincidence and repeatedly comfort herself with the same lie.

Ranran opened her mouth as if she had more to say, but at her young age, she already knew how to sense her mother’s mood. Seeing that her mother seemed downcast, Ranran obediently stayed quiet and continued staring at the actress on the TV who looked so much like her.

When evening finally came, Li Sheng took little Ranran for a delicious and nutritious dinner. Afterward, she helped Ranran take a comfortable hot bath and carried her to bed.

“Ranran, rest well here. Mommy is going to take a bath, and then I’ll come back to tell you a story, okay?”

“Okay!”

As soon as Li Sheng left, the clever little Ranran took out her small tablet and started a video chat with Auntie Miranda, who was far away overseas.

“Hey, little angel! Is China fun? Do you miss me?”

“I miss you very much, Miranda.” Little Ranran giggled and greeted Miranda, then wrinkled her little brows and asked very seriously: “Miranda, if two people look very similar, what is their relationship?”

“Sisters!”

“No, no, no, they aren’t sisters. Miranda, think again.”

“Mother and daughter?”

“I’ve got it, Miranda!” An excited Ranran hung up the phone and began searching the internet for information on Mo Yueshuang.

Meanwhile, Li Sheng, who was soaking in the bath, felt her eyelid twitch. Her heart pounded wildly; she felt as though something big was about to happen.
