The Whole World Is Waiting for Them to Divorce [Transmigration Into a Book] - Chapter 1

At the end of February, the festive atmosphere of the New Year had yet to fully fade, but the streets were cold and empty, carrying a desolate chill.

Bare branches trembled in the wind. The low shrubs seemed to be hiding something terrifying, letting out strange, mournful cries from time to time. A stray cat crouching beside a trash can, rummaging for food, was startled and fled with a “meow.”

All was silent.

An out-of-control van appeared from who knew where and barreled straight toward the lone figure by the roadside.

“Bang—”

…

Am I dead? Si Yu asked herself.

When her consciousness returned, the scene before her had changed.

She was wearing a pale purple evening gown, her makeup exquisite, standing beside a shimmering swimming pool as she stared at the woman flailing in the water.

…Someone fell in?

Before Si Yu could make sense of it, her vision flashed white. Something sped through her mind like a film reel:

Two minutes ago, a woman who looked exactly like her had pushed another woman into the swimming pool.

Before the victim fell in, the woman who looked exactly like her had said venomously, “Liang Yufei, go die!”

Liang Yufei? Wasn’t that the heroine of The Domineering CEO Is Obsessed with Me, the book she had read a few days ago?

Si Yu remembered there being a scene like this in the book: the vicious female supporting character, “Si Yu,” who had the same name as her, held a grudge against the heroine. At a banquet, she tricked the innocent heroine into coming outside, then, when no one was paying attention, pushed the heroine, who did not know how to swim, into the pool.

But what did that have to do with her? Why was she seeing all this?

The person who pushed Liang Yufei into the water clearly was not her, so why did that person look exactly like her?

The images in her mind suddenly vanished, as if the power had been cut.

Si Yu seemed to have had some switch flipped inside her. Her body swayed slightly, her eyes focused, and the scene before her became clear again.

There really was someone in the pool!

Looking at the poor woman thrashing desperately in the water, Si Yu did not hesitate. She kicked off her high heels and plunged headfirst into the pool.

There was only one thought in her mind: save her.

Her body sank into the water as though she had been swept into a whirlpool. No matter how Si Yu waved her arms and struggled, she could not swim away. The more she fought, the deeper she sank.

This was wrong.

Si Yu knew how to swim, and she was actually pretty good at it, but this body would not obey her!

“Hel—” The moment she opened her mouth, water rushed into her throat, and she could not make a single sound.

Was she really going to die this time?!

Just as despair set in, she felt someone grab her arm and drag her up from the abyss.

She did not know how long had passed.

When she woke up, she was in an unfamiliar room.

A tall, slender figure stood by the window. The woman was dressed in a crisp white shirt and high-waisted long black trousers, which made her legs look slim and endless. Her waist, narrow enough to be held in one hand, was enough to make anyone jealous.

Her figure was stunning.

Only… who was she?

“You’re awake?” Hearing movement, the woman swept a faint glance over.

Si Yu’s heart gave a sudden thud.

Back in film school, Si Yu had been voted the campus belle of her year. After debuting, she had not become particularly famous, but people often praised her looks. She considered herself fairly attractive, but when she clearly saw the woman’s features, she froze.

The woman’s long, foxlike eyes looked over without the slightest ripple. They were neither coy nor seductive, but cold, and yet somehow alluring without trying. Her thin lips were lightly pressed together, their shape and color both extremely tempting. Her face shape and features were flawless.

Si Yu could not describe it in words. She only suddenly wanted to look in a mirror to check whether there was dirt on her face or if her hair was messy.

This woman’s beauty carried a lethal force, making others feel ashamed of their own inferiority.

Si Yu unconsciously licked her lips. Meeting the other woman’s utterly warmthless gaze, she said, “Who are you?”

There was no expression on the woman’s stunning face. She looked at Si Yu as if looking at an irrelevant stranger, her flat tone edged with thorns. “Last month, you pretended to slit your wrists and kill yourself. Now you fell into the water and are pretending to have lost your memory. Miss Si, exactly how many tricks do you still have?”

“…”

Slit her wrists and kill herself? Pretending to have lost her memory?

What the hell was this? Were they filming a drama?

Seeing that she was silent, the woman said coldly again, “Before we got married, I already told you that I had no feelings for you whatsoever. Give up.”

What marriage? Two women could get married? Had national policy become this tolerant now?

Si Yu, her head full of question marks, looked at this unrealistically beautiful woman before her, blinked, and said, “What exactly are you talking about? You’re so beautiful that if I’d seen you before, I’d definitely remember. Have you mistaken me for someone else?”

Lu Xi: “…”

Lu Xi did not know whether she was trying to play some new trick again. She took a few steps forward and, as if performing magic, produced a stack of A4 papers. Looking down at Si Yu with cold eyes, she said, “Sign this agreement.”

Si Yu inexplicably took it. When she lowered her head and looked, the large words Divorce Agreement entered her line of sight.

What was this?

Her gaze moved downward. When she saw the neat and elegant signature at the bottom, her eyelid gave a hard twitch.

Lu! Xi!

She was far too familiar with that name. Wasn’t this the second female lead from The Domineering CEO Is Obsessed with Me?!

With things having developed to this point, Si Yu seemed to finally sort out the situation. Vaguely, an absurd thought surfaced in her mind: she might have transmigrated into a book.

She had transmigrated into the yuri novel The Domineering CEO Is Obsessed with Me, which she had read a few days ago, and had become the vicious female supporting character inside it…

Si Yu was an actress, as well as a novel fan. She had read countless online novels, including plenty about transmigrating into books, and had always thought “transmigration into a book” was nothing more than a fresh setting authors invented with wild imagination. A person transmigrating into a book—how could that be possible?

Yet such an unrealistic, bizarre thing had happened to her.

The vicious female supporting character had the same name as her, and their family backgrounds were somewhat similar: both of their parents had died in a car accident. The difference was that the “Si Yu” in the book was a rich second-generation heiress. After her parents died, they left her a large fortune, enough for her to squander her whole life without ever worrying about food or clothing. Besides that, “Si Yu” had also married Lu Xi, the eldest young lady of the Lu Group. Outsiders did not know about this, but she was a genuine wealthy madam.

“Si Yu” loved Lu Xi to the point of madness and was vicious to the extreme. Just because Lu Xi had once sent the heroine home and the media photographed them, causing it to trend online, she began to hate the heroine bitterly and framed her again and again. Lu Xi could no longer tolerate it and divorced “Si Yu,” then finally achieved a happy ending with the heroine.

Si Yu was utterly shocked. Why had she become the vicious female supporting character in the book???

“What are you still hesitating for?” The woman’s voice, cool and laced with impatience, sounded above her head. “You and I had a contractual marriage. It’s written clearly on there that once the two-year period is up, the marriage relationship will be dissolved. Today is the final deadline.”

Si Yu did remember that in the book, the first time Lu Xi brought up divorce with the female supporting character was after “Si Yu” pushed the heroine Liang Yufei into the water. But at the time, “Si Yu” refused to sign, made a huge fuss for a long time, and the two of them ended up in court, parting on bad terms.

Since they had to divorce sooner or later, who cared about this damn plot?

From being hit by a car to transmigrating here, Si Yu’s mind had been in a daze the whole time. Lu Xi’s pleasant voice seemed to carry some kind of magic. She picked up the pen.

“You can’t sign it!”

A strange woman’s voice exploded in her head, so loud it nearly pierced her eardrums. Si Yu covered her ears and hissed.

“Clack—”

The signing pen rolled several times across the smooth floor before being stopped by a gleaming black high heel.

Lu Xi’s two beautiful brows moved almost imperceptibly. She looked at Si Yu, whose expression had become subtle, in confusion.

Si Yu looked left and right. After searching for a long time and failing to find anything suspicious, she felt both alarmed and uncertain.

Had that been an auditory hallucination just now?

There were only the two of them in this room. Why had she heard another woman’s voice?

That voice had been short and urgent, like some kind of mechanical electronic sound, crouching inside her mind and speaking to her.

Si Yu immediately felt a chill down her back. Her body went stiff, and her eyes moved slowly. In a small voice, she asked the living, breathing person standing before her, “Behind me… is there anything strange?”

Lu Xi found her inexplicable. She glanced behind Si Yu and said, “There are only the two of us in this room. What are you trying to do now?”

Nothing there? Si Yu let out a breath of relief.

She had probably just been overthinking. In broad daylight, how could there be ghosts?

Just as she thought that, the same voice sounded in her mind again: “Are you looking for me?”

…!

Si Yu nearly swore out loud. Suspicious and jumpy, she looked around again.

“Don’t be afraid. I am your personal system. You can call me Little B,” the voice in her head said in an emotionless tone, speaking words of comfort.

Si Yu slowly calmed down. Not because of Little B’s words, but because she had read countless transmigration-into-a-book novels and knew there was a thing called a system. She had seen enough of it in fiction to not be surprised.

She patted her chest and said, “Y-you-you, why did you suddenly pop out?”

Little B: “Apologies. The system was previously updating data. The update is now complete.”

Lu Xi had no idea what was happening. She only heard Si Yu talking to herself and asked, “What did you say?”

Only then did Si Yu remember that there was someone else in the room. She said awkwardly, “Nothing.”

Lu Xi did not suspect anything.

The signing pen had fallen beside Lu Xi’s foot. Lu Xi picked it up for her and handed it over.

“Thank you.”

Si Yu took it instinctively, twisted off the cap, and was just about to put pen to paper.

“You really can’t sign it!” Little B shouted, its tone unchanged, only its voice becoming very urgent. “If you sign it, terrible bad luck will befall you!”

Si Yu paused and asked, “What do you mean, terrible bad luck?”

She did not say this sentence out loud. It only passed through her mind, and Little B received it.

Little B: “Your task in this world is to maintain this marriage relationship, win over Lu Xi, and make her change her mind and fall in love with you. If you sign it, you will be punished.”

WTF???

She was not allowed to divorce, and she even had to make Lu Xi fall in love with her???

Lu Xi and the original heroine were happy and sweet together, and this system wanted her to be the villain who broke up a pair of lovebirds???

What kind of joke was this?!

This system had probably broken during the update!

Si Yu took a breath and said solemnly to Little B with her thoughts, “I can’t do something that wicked.”

She raised the pen again and neatly wrote the character “Si” in the signature section.

Little B hurriedly said again, “If you sign it, you will definitely regret it.”

Really? Si Yu let out a soft laugh. She wanted to see what consequences there would be.

She neatly wrote the character “Yu” next.

Once the signature was complete, she heard Little B in her mind: “Sigh—”

Was it feeling regretful on her behalf? Only, that dry electronic voice sounded so funny that it made her want to laugh.

“What are you laughing at?”

Si Yu could not hold back and laughed out loud. Lu Xi looked at her strangely.

The Divorce Agreement was signed, and the so-called punishment did not appear. Si Yu shrugged and said, “We finally divorced. Thinking about it makes me pretty happy.”

“Happy?” Lu Xi was full of suspicion. Wasn’t this woman supposed to love her so much she could die? And yet she was actually happy to divorce her?

Si Yu was only thinking that if they divorced sooner, Lu Xi and the original heroine Liang Yufei could openly date. She felt like a living Lei Feng—very glorious, very proud.

There were three copies of the Divorce Agreement. After Si Yu finished signing, she returned the papers and pen to Lu Xi.

Lu Xi had thought it would take some effort. She had not expected Si Yu to sign so readily. She glanced at her in surprise, took the agreement, confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the signature, and said coldly, “Go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow morning and get the divorce certificate.”

“Sure,” Si Yu said with a smile.

Looking at the bright, innocent, harmless smile on her face, Lu Xi frowned.

This woman was far too strange today.
