Transmigrated as the Cannon Fodder Marked by the Villain (GL) - Chapter 5

Fu Qingyun could only temporarily take things one step at a time, unsure what her future situation would be.

The female lead, Ruan Jiyan, was a university student in her early 20s. However, due to the Ruan family’s bankruptcy, Ruan Jiyan, as the only daughter, naturally bore all the massive debts owed. Consequently, she was forced to drop out of the best university in the Imperial Capital.

To make a living, Ruan Jiyan came to the bar where Fu Qingyun was introduced by Jiang Qi. Given her looks and figure, she was inevitably subjected to harassment from the Alphas who frequented the place.

The original owner, Fu Qingyun, was one of them.

Fu Qingyun vigorously rubbed her temples. She felt a major disaster brewing. In Ruan Jiyan’s memory, she was now an infamous villain who had forced herself upon her. Regardless, the damage she had inflicted on Ruan Jiyan was indelible.

After the party ended, Fu Qingyun prepared to return to her own luxury mansion. The original owner was an idle young miss who had an Alpha older brother who doted on her immensely, which cultivated Fu Qingyun’s arrogant and pampered personality.

She had money and people doting on her, so a belief was planted in her heart: that as long as she had money, she could possess everything. Therefore, Fu Qingyun would stop at nothing to get anything she liked.

Ruan Jiyan became one of her countless victims. Her privileged family background and good home were all ruined, and she herself was completely reduced to an Alpha’s possession.

The black car sped along the busy street. Fu Qingyun’s toxic friends intended to keep her at a hotel, but Fu Qingyun now had a complex fear of hotels. So, she would rather go home at three in the morning than stay in such a place for another moment.

Fu Qingyun remembered that Ruan Jiyan also had a sister who was thirteen or fourteen years old, but she went missing after the Ruan family went bankrupt. Ruan Jiyan searched everywhere but ultimately found nothing.

Fu Qingyun hadn’t read the later part of the original book before she transmigrated, so she didn’t know what would happen next, let alone whether Ruan Jiyan’s sister was still alive.

“Little Four, can you come out for a moment?”

After pondering for half the night, Fu Qingyun finally thought of the 419 System. Since the System was already there, she could just ask Little Four instead of racking her brains with wild guesses.

[Hello, Host. How may I assist you?]

“Help me check if Ruan Jiyan’s sister is still alive.”

Fu Qingyun wanted to atone for the wrong she had committed, so she decided to help Ruan Jiyan find her missing sister. Maybe that would mitigate some of her guilt.

[She is still alive, but she is not doing well and has lost her memory.]

Fu Qingyun: “…”

What is this melodramatic plot again? Bankruptcy, amnesia…

Ruan Mingyan was also a child with a hard life. In the original book, the scenes where Ruan Jiyan searched for Ruan Mingyan were numerous, showing Ruan Mingyan’s importance to Ruan Jiyan.

Fu Qingyun prayed to the heavens: she absolutely must not let anything happen to Ruan Mingyan, and she must also prevent Ruan Jiyan from turning evil and committing those heinous acts.

In fact, the original owner, Fu Qingyun, was the fuse for Ruan Jiyan’s blackening. If it hadn’t been for the original owner’s bullying and coercion, Ruan Jiyan wouldn’t have turned evil so quickly.

Ruan Jiyan’s blackening was inevitable. To prevent her from completely turning evil and to complete the mission, Fu Qingyun had to make a sacrifice. But the prerequisite was that she had to save her own life and not die too soon, otherwise, if she died, who would become Ruan Jiyan’s new protector?

Fu Qingyun had already devised a strategy to prevent the other party from turning evil. She decided to “repent” properly from now on and be good to Ruan Jiyan at all costs. And for those who had bullied her in the subsequent plots, Fu Qingyun had to be proactive and help Ruan Jiyan avoid them in advance, or her blackening would become unstoppable.

Although Fu Qingyun’s plans sounded great in her mind, she was unaware that Ruan Jiyan had been reborn, and all the memories she possessed were about revenge and slaughter.

“Miss, if you are tired, you can sleep for a bit. I will wake you when we reach the mansion.”

“Mm.”

Fu Qingyun was also a little tired, but she hadn’t quite adjusted her lifestyle habits, such as going to bed early.

She was accustomed to finding pleasure in light sleep. Being able to sleep through the night was often a luxury for the working Fu Qingyun.

Now it was different. She had no job; she was the young miss of a wealthy family. She didn’t even have to attend school and had inexhaustible money.

This life, which Fu Qingyun had always dreamed of, was achieved through transmigration. She had taken away the life that belonged to the original Fu Qingyun.

But…

If it wasn’t her, it would have been someone else.

Fu Qingyun sighed. Since I am here, I might as well make the best of it. Anyway, the original Fu Qingyun was going to die in the end. It was better for her to temporarily replace her. Perhaps when she left, the original Fu Qingyun would return to this body, and then she wouldn’t have to die.

Her mind was a jumble. Fu Qingyun leaned against the seat, feeling drowsy. She didn’t know how long passed, but just as she was about to fall asleep, her body suddenly sprang forward.

“Hiss…”

Her chest hurt from the seatbelt. Fu Qingyun opened her eyes and rubbed her chest. She saw the driver quickly getting out of the car to check on her situation.

“Miss, are you alright? Someone was walking and suddenly collapsed on the road. I almost hit them.”

A person?

Could it be someone intentionally seeking death?

Fu Qingyun acted instinctively. She quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car. She saw a lightly dressed woman lying on the roadside.

“Ruan Jiyan?”

The woman’s face was pale, lying on the roadside in the cold weather around three in the morning. Even in the darkness, Fu Qingyun recognized that it was Ruan Jiyan.

Why would she be here?

Fu Qingyun crouched down and picked the person up, shouting loudly near her ear: “Miss Ruan, Ruan Jiyan, can you hear me?”

No reaction. Ruan Jiyan had already fainted.

The driver stood aside, confused, and asked: “Miss, do you know this person?”

“She’s my friend.”

Fu Qingyun lied without hesitation. She touched Ruan Jiyan’s forehead and observed her complexion. When she realized it was just a regular fever, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She directly lifted Ruan Jiyan into her arms, carried her to the back seat, and closed the car door.

“To the hospital.”

The driver didn’t dare to ask any more questions. He just assumed this was Miss Fu Qingyun’s friend, so he sped toward the hospital, not even stopping for a red light on the way.

After all, it wasn’t the first time his young miss had run a red light.

Fu Qingyun held the scorching Ruan Jiyan. She constantly touched the other woman’s forehead with her hand. The only sensation she felt was heat.

She took off her own coat and covered Ruan Jiyan, wrapping her up completely.

Ruan Jiyan’s small face was pale, her lips bloodless. Only her cheeks showed an unsettling flush of crimson—a sign of a high fever.

A fever was a minor issue for Fu Qingyun. She checked Ruan Jiyan’s temperature with her hand, estimating that the fever was quite high, otherwise, she wouldn’t have fainted in the street.

It’s a good thing I ran into her. If no one had come to save her, or if she had been found by people with ill intentions, who knew what misfortune Ruan Jiyan might have encountered.

On the way to the hospital, Fu Qingyun kept hearing Ruan Jiyan murmuring deliriously.

“Hot…”

Hot?

Fu Qingyun stared at Ruan Jiyan’s face, wrapping her body even tighter with the coat.

She was running a high fever. Even if she felt hot, Fu Qingyun would not loosen her grip.

“It’s okay, it’s okay, the hospital is almost here. We’ll be there soon.”

Fu Qingyun lowered her head to comfort Ruan Jiyan. The other woman’s cheeks were flushed, completely different from her pale face earlier.

A faint, tempting tea fragrance gradually spread, making even Fu Qingyun feel a heat starting to rise in her body after smelling it.

“What’s that smell?”

The driver was a Beta and naturally couldn’t smell the pheromones. He closed the car partition, giving Fu Qingyun her privacy.

“Hot… hot…”

Ruan Jiyan kept mumbling “hot.” Even Fu Qingyun didn’t know exactly what was wrong with her. Could it be more than just a fever? Did she have some other illness?

An indistinct, seductive red wine scent wrapped around the two of them. The sweet tea scent and the red wine scent intertwined. Fu Qingyun shifted uncomfortably. She felt that some strange change was happening to her body.
