Chapter 3: The Female Lead Of The Book

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Fate played a trick on her. She was originally a nine-to-five office worker, but on a dark and windy night, she suddenly died while watching a muscular man’s live broadcast. When she opened her eyes again, she had become the Jiang Yule of this world. She felt like a modern version of Cinderella. She was married to Li Xingyi, the head of the wealthiest family in the capital and the domineering CEO who was in charge of the global economy. Li Xingyi was such an imposing individual that just hearing his name made people tremble in fear.

However, just like her, fate played a trick on him as well. The arrogant man who had everything he could ever want had a genetic disease that made him different from ordinary people. His genes predetermined that he would never get sick during his lifetime, but the price he had to pay was that he only had fifty years to live.

Li Xingyi did not have the slightest bit of affection for Jiang Yule at all, but they were husband and wife in name. Therefore, after his demise, Jiang Yule would claim half of his assets for herself as compensation for the relationship she had been suffering from throughout the years.

When Jiang Yule, who had just transmigrated, learned of this news, she was excited and felt as if she had won a five-million-dollar lottery ticket. With that in mind, she had wanted to send Li Xingyi to the afterlife personally. It was not until they met for the first time that her dream was shattered. It turned out that there was a system bound to her body, and as long as she was near Li Xingyi, the system would activate automatically. She had to act like the original Jiang Yule—a person who purely loved Li Xingyi with all her heart and did not pursue fame and profit. If she did something that went against her character, the system would strike her with lightning as punishment.

Jiang Yule had experienced the punishment once. She could only say that it was so painful that her mind went blank, with only one thought in her head—let me die. After that, she did not dare to disobey the system. All she wanted to do was be like the original and act like a love-struck idiot. She used the past two years to successfully fool everyone into thinking that Jiang Yule loved Li Xingyi to the bone.

Jiang Yule hummed as she walked into the underground parking lot when she saw a BYD E6 electric car pass her by. She thought to herself that it was a coincidence to see a car that was exactly the same as hers in this hospital today.

As she was thinking about it, she reached into her pocket for her car keys, but she could not find it. Jiang Yule frowned slightly. Just then, the phone in her pocket rang.

“Madam, this is Yang Chen. You left your keys in the ward. When I was about to bring them to you, I saw a lot of reporters surrounding the hospital entrance. I’ll drive the master back in your car first.” Before Jiang Yule could reply, he hung up.

Jiang Yule breathed a sigh of relief and felt herself calm down. She then expressed her frustration by saying, “If you keep preventing me from dealing with Li Xingyi, I’ll have no choice but to take matters into my own hands.”

…

After Li Xingyi returned to the Li Family’s main residence, he was warmly welcomed by Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang helped him with his shoes and looked closely at the head of the Li Family, whom she had not seen for more than six months. She did not know if it was because of the sickness, but the master seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

As Aunt Wang stared at Li Xingyi, his gaze also fell firmly on her face. It was not until Aunt Wang started looking scared that he slowly asked, “Do you know what Jiang Yule has been busy with recently?”

Aunt Wang was really stunned when she heard that. This was the first time she had seen the master take the initiative to ask about the madam. After considering for a moment, Aunt Wang said, “She’s not busy with anything. She usually stays at home to take care of her little pet.”

Li Xingyi frowned slightly. Did he hear wrongly? That woman who never gets her hands dirty with menial tasks actually took care of a pet herself?

Three minutes later, Li Xingyi fell silent as he looked at the big black pig that weighed more than 120 kilograms. Even Yang Chen, the bodyguard beside him, was speechless. This was the little pet that the madam kept?

The back garden, which was specially built to grow expensive flowers and plants bought from all over the world, was now occupied by a pigsty. The flowers and plants that had been carefully taken care of were squeezed into the corner. Li Xingyi was not sure if it was his imagination, but the plants looked dejected.

Aunt Wang forced a dry smile. “Well, the madam’s preferences are a little different.” No one paid attention to what she said, and the atmosphere was strangely quiet.

The pigsty looked like it had been carefully taken care of by someone. It was not the scene of feces and urine splattered everywhere he had imagined a pigsty would be, and there was only a faint smell of disinfectant. The pigsty, which could not be considered big, was also divided into separate areas for resting, eating, and defecating. It was spotless.

However, Li Xingyi’s obsession with cleanliness still could not tolerate having such a big pig in his backyard. He said coldly, “Hurry up and take it away.”
