After Transmigrating as the Villain’s Cannon Fodder Fake Sister - Chapter 1

Cold.

The early-winter seawater carried a heavy chill, so icy it seemed as if it would pierce through her skin and stab into her bones.

Gu Ruanruan kept sinking in the seawater.

It had only been a few short seconds, yet it felt like a movie playing in slow motion, frame by frame. Gu Ruanruan could clearly feel every second passing.

She remembered the pair of hands that had pushed her down. She also remembered the owner of those hands’ cold, cruel gaze, as well as the overwhelming red that had filled her vision.

“Gu Ruanruan!” She heard someone far away anxiously calling her name again and again.

Or perhaps it was not far away. Perhaps that person was right above her. But Gu Ruanruan no longer had the strength to respond.

Salty, fishy seawater surged into her throat. The tearing pain burned through her, and she could not make a single sound.

Let it be like this.

“Ruanruan, I caught you. You can’t run away anymore.” A woman’s gentle, intimate voice murmured beside her ear.

Who was it?

Immediately after, Gu Ruanruan felt her body become light. The suffocating despair of slowly witnessing her own life slip away disappeared.

In the second before Gu Ruanruan completely lost consciousness, the azure-blue seawater suddenly turned into a dazzling red.

That color was thick and vivid.

A faint, elegant woody fragrance lingered in the air, making both body and mind feel at ease.

Vitality returned to her body little by little, like an hourglass turning backward.

The feeling of being able to breathe air again was simply too wonderful. Gu Ruanruan could not help but take in a deep, hard breath.

“Cough, cough, cough…” She had inhaled too sharply and started coughing.

Wait… this was not a place she was familiar with.

The room was very large. Three big bookcases were packed full of books, and the desk was piled with documents. It was a study.

The surrounding decor was exquisite and ornate. The office desk, bookcases, and other solid-wood furnishings were all carved with beautiful patterns. There was also a leather sofa large enough for an adult to lie on, along with a small rest area. Beside it was a coffee machine, and the glass cabinet was filled with all kinds of coffee beans.

A study that displayed luxury in every corner like this only existed in Gu Ruanruan’s childhood memories.

Gu Ruanruan was baffled. Had she returned to her childhood?

But this place was completely different from her memories. The decor style and layout were also entirely different. It did not look like the familiar environment she remembered.

“Gu Ruanruan!” A cold female voice devoid of any warmth reached Gu Ruanruan’s ears. Sensing that she was distracted, the woman raised her voice slightly. “Did you hear me clearly?”

!

Her gaze turned over involuntarily. Only then did Gu Ruanruan notice that there was actually another person in the room!

The woman’s appearance perfectly matched Gu Ruanruan’s fantasies of a beautiful woman. Her skin was fair and porcelain-like, her features exquisite and gorgeous. A pair of sapphire earrings hung from her smooth earlobes, glittering brilliantly.

This woman was extremely beautiful, but she did not seem gaudy. The buttons of her shirt were fastened neatly all the way to the very first one, just right to cover a little of the delicate, elegant line of her neck. Her ink-black pupils were as deep as a cold pool, diluting the stunning impact of her face and adding a detached coldness.

Beautiful, yes, but hidden between her brows was also a trace of sharp, vicious hostility that was concealed very well and difficult for others to notice.

Gu Ruanruan was simply horrified! Where on earth was she? The woman had indeed called her name, but Gu Ruanruan had absolutely no impression of this woman!

She was extremely certain, because with such a beautiful woman, just one meeting would make it impossible to forget her!

Then Gu Ruanruan felt herself walking to the beautiful woman’s side.

It was an extremely uncomfortable feeling. Her consciousness was half-awake, but her body was not under her control.

Then, “she” began to speak.

“I say, my dear sister~ We’re going to be family sooner or later anyway, so why distinguish between yours and mine? What’s yours is mine, and in the future, I’ll be yours too~”

Gu Ruanruan simply could not believe that such a sticky, sugary-sweet voice had come from her own mouth.

With just that one sentence, Gu Ruanruan’s consciousness became completely clear!

That wavering, coquettish ending tone—without ten years of brain damage, there was no way to produce that kind of pitch.

Even more terrifying was that as “she” spoke, she raised her hand and restlessly slid it over the woman’s body.

Gu Ruanruan: Stop!!! What are you doing!!!

Too! Stimulating!

Gu Ruanruan, who had lived for twenty years without even holding anyone’s hand, suffered a heavy blow to her heart!

She was no longer clean! Help! SOS!!!

Her wrist was firmly clamped down. A body temperature as cold as seawater transmitted through her wrist and reached Gu Ruanruan.

“She” obediently went along with it and gave up on her unruly actions. Then she immediately changed tactics and began blabbering uncontrollably: “Jiang Cen, what are you pretending for? Who are you putting on that cold face for every day? Do you think I haven’t seen what you’re like in private?”

A little curiosity rose in Gu Ruanruan: Wh-what is she like? I have a friend who says she wants to take a look too…

“Don’t you want me to keep your secret for you?”

Jiang Cen seemed to be amused by “her” naivety. The corner of her lips lifted slightly, forming a smile that was not quite a smile. Like ice and snow thawing, that eternally unchanging abstinent face instantly became vivid and alive.

Gu Ruanruan stared blankly.

So it turned out that when a beauty had an expression, her destructive power was this great!

“Jiang Cen, whether you’re willing or not, we’re going to be family in the future anyway. There’s no point in putting on an act anymore. Heh, I know exactly what kind of person you are.”

Gu Ruanruan went numb. Was this kind of classic villain speech because she felt she wasn’t dying fast enough?!

“Grandpa will be here in a moment. Tell me, when the old man sees this scene, will he arrange our engagement… or arrange our engagement?”

Big sister, are there any other choices?!

As she spoke, “she” ignored the wrist that was being clamped down and directly used her other hand to wrap around Jiang Cen’s waist. She stood on tiptoe, puckered her lips, and was about to move closer.

Gu Ruanruan felt as if all the blood in her body was about to flow backward. Everything before this had already challenged the limits of her psychological endurance, but why was the original owner playing something so perverted right from the start!!! What was she, someone who would pretend to drink water and walk away if she accidentally saw a kiss on TV, supposed to do!!!

She couldn’t do this! Black screen! Hurry and black screen!!!

Perhaps the heavens heard Gu Ruanruan’s inner scream, because her vision went black, and she really did stop that terrifying action.

Immediately after, memories that did not belong to her surged into Gu Ruanruan’s mind with overwhelming force.

She had not tragically lost her name. She was still Gu Ruanruan, that was right, but the world had changed.

She had transmigrated into a melodramatic wealthy-family abuse-romance novel she had read before!

And now, in front of her, the woman who had listened to her spout arrogant nonsense and had endured the humiliation of being “forced into submission” was none other than the most sinister and ruthless great! villain! of the entire book—Jiang Cen!

Aaaaaahhhhhhh!!!

What kind of person was Jiang Cen? Calling her ruthless and vicious was practically a compliment.

She was simply a cold-blooded machine with no human emotions. She was two-faced and insane. She used the Jiang family members to secure her position as family head, and once she achieved her goal, she immediately turned around and sent her own second and third uncles to prison. Even her mother had all her power stripped away by her and was locked up in a sanatorium.

Not to mention that later, in order to obtain the female lead, she used every unscrupulous method imaginable—imprisonment, drugging, coercion, and more. She was practically a regular guest on legal education programs!

Of course, the original owner, this vicious cannon fodder, was not much better. Compared with Jiang Cen, she was just as bad, if not worse.

The original owner was the granddaughter of Jiang Cen’s grandfather Jiang Jianguo’s comrade-in-arms. Because her entire family had died in a car accident, leaving only her, a little girl, alone in the vast Gu family, Grandpa Jiang brought Gu Ruanruan back to the Jiang family.

Just like that, “Gu Ruanruan” transformed into the adopted daughter of the richest family in Ningcheng, the Jiang family—the publicly acknowledged third young lady of the Jiang family.

But the original owner was still not satisfied. She fell in love with Jiang Cen, but at the same time, she could not let go of the glory and wealth before her eyes.

Jiang Cen had no feelings for her, and rejected and warned her again and again without the slightest mercy. The original owner loved her but could not obtain her, and evil grew from her desperation. She tried to swallow the Jiang family’s assets for herself.

The original owner contacted outsiders and worked with them from both inside and outside to betray the Jiang family’s secrets. She created crises for Jiang Cen again and again, and often persecuted Jiang Cen’s white-moonlight female lead, even kidnapping the female lead.

Jiang Cen calmly watched her seek death. Not only did she beat the original owner at her own game and turn her schemes against her, she also “coincidentally” appeared every time after the original owner persecuted the female lead, saving the female lead and gaining quite a bit of goodwill for herself.

Finally, after squeezing out all of “Gu Ruanruan’s” usefulness, Jiang Cen locked her up in a psychiatric hospital and tortured her bit by bit until she had a mental breakdown. Her ending was miserable…

After Gu Ruanruan finished receiving the plot, she nearly wanted to cry but had no tears.

The original owner was seriously a talent! She got up earlier than chickens, slept later than dogs, and worked harder than even a production team’s donkey.

As for Jiang Cen, she was even more of a ruthless maniac.

Fortunately, things were not too terrible yet.

The current situation was that the original owner had just realized she had fallen in love with Jiang Cen, but Jiang Cen had no feelings for her at all. The original owner had calculated the timing to seduce Jiang Cen, and after being rejected, became angry from embarrassment and tried to force herself on her…

In a moment, Jiang Jianguo would push open the door and enter. There were only two possibilities: one, the two of them would get engaged; two, Jiang Cen would be labeled as “worse than a beast.” Either way, the original owner would not lose.

The original owner had mistakenly underestimated Jiang Cen. Jiang Cen could not possibly make such a low-level mistake. Since she had tolerated the original owner to this extent, she must have had a countermeasure.

But the original owner did not know that the unlucky one had now become her, Gu Ruanruan!

Small matter! Stay calm!! Don’t panic!!! There’s still a chance!!!!

Seeing Gu Ruanruan lean closer, Jiang Cen’s brows furrowed in disgust. Her patience ran out. The hand gripping the original owner’s wrist exerted a little force, and Gu Ruanruan was flung to the side by the momentum.

With this movement, Gu Ruanruan felt as though her limbs had regained a little sensation, but she still did not have complete control.

Her steps staggered involuntarily. Added to the momentum from Jiang Cen’s throw, Gu Ruanruan could not stand steadily.

Not good. She was going to fall backward!

Gu Ruanruan hurriedly swung her arms at an extremely fast speed, like a bee flapping its wings, and barely managed to keep her balance.

Hm? When she had swung her arms just now, her arm seemed to have touched something. It was soft and smooth. The feeling seemed pretty good…

Just as she wanted to look for it, she heard a light “thud.”

Jiang Cen had actually been pushed down onto the sofa behind her by that motion!

Only then did Gu Ruanruan understand. The soft thing was that she had accidentally brushed against Jiang Cen’s two “front headlights,” and the smooth feeling was Jiang Cen’s shirt!

Immediately after, an invisible force compelled Gu Ruanruan to step forward a few steps, climb onto the sofa, and firmly press Jiang Cen down on it…

Gu Ruanruan: Do I still have a chance???

Just how heavy was the original owner’s obsession!!!

Even though Jiang Cen had been pushed down onto the sofa because she had been caught off guard, she still maintained that calm, cold, unmoving appearance. Only the gaze she used to look at Gu Ruanruan became even icier.

“Gu Ruanruan, you know the consequences,” she warned.

I know, I know, I know!!!! Stop talking, boohoohoohoo, I don’t want this either!

Gu Ruanruan had been strong since childhood. Being frightened by Jiang Cen’s bone-chilling voice, her hand began to tremble involuntarily.

“Riiip…”

In the silence, even that tiny sound seemed exceptionally crisp.

Gu Ruanruan lowered her head and discovered that her hand had already torn open Jiang Cen’s shirt!

Then, the buttons on Jiang Cen’s shirt bounced across the floor like popping popcorn, leaping… and jumping… all over the place…

If buttons had eyes, Gu Ruanruan felt that before they died, their eyes would definitely have flashed with a strange, dead-fish-like light…

Like an old cassette radio getting stuck, she slowly turned her head back in jerky motions to look at Jiang Cen.

Because she was too shocked and afraid, Gu Ruanruan did not even realize that she had already gained control of this body.

As expected.

Jiang Cen was indeed looking at her with the gaze one would use to look at a dead person.

Gu Ruanruan: The wind is strong, the fire is blazing, and I leave this world very peacefully. : )

Suddenly, a voice so shocked that it could not be more shocked broke the silence filling the room.

“My goodness… What are you two… doing?”

Gu Ruanruan was utterly hopeless: On this day next year, please remember to burn paper money for me. Thank you.
