Chapter 10: The True and False Heir
After leaving the last world, Su Luo had a big fight with Liu Qianqian.
Liu Qianqian shamelessly said that the first crossing was just a demonstration for her, and afterwards she would follow this pattern. However, the abusive parts wouldn't be helped by her, but rather relied on her own arrangement, although some external assistance could be provided. In other words, Suoluo had to make herself die every time, not dying or not making it didn't count as completing the task, and at the same time, she had to use her own death to torture the target of the strategy to the greatest extent possible. If the torture wasn't sufficient, it would also be considered unqualified, and punishment would be doubled for each crossing.
Su Luo recalled the desperate and heartbroken appearance of Qi Keji's father and son before their death, and suddenly turned her face away.
It's easy to die, after all, it's not really death, but for the living, it leaves endless regret and pain, which is too cruel. But Liu Qianqian said this was only temporary, she would cast a spell to make them happy and forget the pain of losing her.
Su Luo was very skeptical, Liu Qianqian could even deceive her own roommate, let alone others. However, she was eventually persuaded by Liu's "bitter words" and coercion. Mainly because she felt that the entire world was created by Liu Qianqian, everything was up to her, and herself and the characters in the book were just "pawns", only Liu was the "mastermind". She said whoever would be happy, would definitely be happy. Moreover, since this soy sauce character left, there would be a new female lead to take over, which wouldn't affect the overall situation, so she reluctantly agreed. However, on one condition: after completing a task, she had to help Liu seal off her emotions towards the characters in the story, only keeping very faint memories, before entering the next world. Otherwise, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get into the new plot, and might even suffer from mental breakdown due to carrying too many emotions.
Liu Qianqian readily agreed. However, her so-called "happiness" promise could only be fulfilled in part. For example, the original owner's family had parents and siblings who were overly heartbroken due to her departure, and Liu Qianqian would cast a spell to make them forget their pain of losing her. As for the male lead and his partner, she wouldn't tell the truth - she was an extreme fan of all sorts of abusive texts, especially fond of male leads abusing female leads, small attacks on small receptions, and torturing to death before self-torture. Although initially letting Su Loluo cross over was just to avenge her male god, after watching their interactions with the characters in the book, it really suited her taste, completely following her own preferred pattern, and she immediately became addicted, unable to stop, and hated that she couldn't let her abuse them ten or eight times more. So... hehe, only a stupid person without taste would erase the scumbag's regret and memory - what's the fun in that?!
As for Su Luo, she was just a temporary anger at that time. Seeing her being abused so badly, she also felt uneasy, so she agreed to her request. Every time after crossing over, she would use magic to heal her injuries, whether physical or mental.
After haggling with Liu Daxian, Su Luo was thrown into a new world once again.
After quickly finishing the plot, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, because this time's capture target was still somewhat not abusive. They ruined the original female lead's life for their own "great" love and the "beautiful" heroine, although the female lead also had her own reasons, but her mistakes didn't deserve to be locked in a mental hospital for the rest of her life, which is perhaps more painful than killing her directly for a normal person, and it's also a serious crime from a legal perspective. Maybe some people think that the male lead's actions are just because he loves the heroine too much, so he doesn't mind sacrificing everything to hit back at those who hurt her, even thinking this behavior is cool and powerful, being loved by such a man is how happy, but for Su Luo, this is unforgivable harm.
In that case, I won't have to feel too guilty about bullying her, and at the same time, I can help the female lead get justice back, making the male lead and male supporting character remember her forever, which is also a kind of compensation for occupying someone else's body.
Compared to the original master, the female lead Xiaoya is like a favorite of God, receiving blessings from the gods of fate everywhere. Although she was abandoned by her parents since childhood, she learned how to pretend to be weak and likable at a young age. Whether it's the director of the orphanage, teachers or other children, they all liked to get close to her and would think of her when there were good things to eat or play with. They were also afraid that she was too kind and would be bullied, so they always protected her carefully. So, in those years at the orphanage, it wasn't like she was swimming with the fish, but at least she didn't suffer much.
At the age of ten, a businessman named Liu Zheng came to the orphanage looking for his lost daughter. Several girls around her age were called in for DNA testing, and only she matched. Overjoyed by the news, Liu Zheng took her home and from then on, she lived the life of a wealthy young lady.
At the age of eighteen, Xiaoya was involved in a car accident. During her hospital examination, Liu Zhengcai discovered that Xiaoya was not his biological daughter. Despite this revelation, he had developed deep feelings for her over the years and couldn't bring himself to abandon her. Xiaoya was also very obedient and well-behaved, which further tugged at Liu's heartstrings. Instead of revealing the truth, he continued to treat her like his own daughter while secretly searching for his biological child. However, the orphanage where his real daughter had been living had closed down due to poor management, and the children had either been adopted or transferred to other orphanages across the country. As a result, all leads were lost, and the matter was left unresolved.
The heroine also unintentionally knew that she was not Liu Zheng's biological daughter, but she didn't want to leave this family, leave the father who loved her dearly, and leave a rich and superior life. So she pretended not to know and took even better care of him.
Liu Zheng, knowing that the female lead is not his own daughter, cannot fully accept her intimate actions such as serving tea and giving massages. As a single man for many years, despite having mistresses to comfort him, this young and charming girl's presence in front of him every day eventually led to him developing feelings for her. Due to their 20-year age difference and the fact that they are supposed to be father and daughter, Liu Zheng can only decide to silently protect her as a father, giving her the best and waiting until she finds her own happiness.
As the second male lead, Liu has extremely high popularity among the readers of this book, even surpassing the male lead Qin Hui. Many young girls are moved by his devoted love and the familiar masculine charm created by the author, shouting to marry him on screen. At the same time, he also has another identity, that is, the biological father of the original protagonist "Su Luo".
That's right, Su Luo is his biological daughter. At that time, he started from scratch, without any background, and relied solely on his entrepreneurial spirit and business acumen to make a fortune, which also attracted the envy and jealousy of some people. They plotted against him, causing him to fall into a trap, and he had to flee with his wife and daughter. As a result, his wife betrayed him by relying on their enemies during their escape, and his daughter went missing. Under such a huge blow, he fell seriously ill, but after recovering, he decided to make a comeback, spending several years building a vast business empire, striking down those who had framed and betrayed him, leaving them unable to turn over. Only then did he begin searching for his lost daughter. However, due to the orphanage's mistake with the DNA sample, they mistakenly brought back the female lead Xiao Ya, while the real heiress Su Luo remained in the orphanage, continuing to live a life of poverty and hardship.
When the orphanage closed, Yuan Zhuang was already 16 years old. At this age, no one would be willing to adopt her, and going to another orphanage was not suitable either. She could only live alone with a boy named Su Xiaopeng who was two years younger than her. Because the director's surname was Su, at that time, children without names all followed his surname.
Su Xiao Peng is the third male lead in the book, not as outstanding as Liu Zheng, but not weak either. At least when it comes to infatuation, he can match up with the male lead and second male lead. He has been secretly in love with Xiaoya since childhood. Before Xiaoya left, the three of them were the best of friends, relying on each other for survival and taking care of one another. Later, Liu Zheng took Xiaoya away, Su Xiao Peng was very reluctant to part with her, but he was also happy that gentle and beautiful Xiaoya had found her family. At the same time, he quietly worked hard and studied diligently, hoping to see her again when he grew up.
After leaving the orphanage, the original owner relied on her income from working in a restaurant and selling at night markets to support herself and Su Xiaopeng. She barely made it through high school graduation and immediately found a job as a flower shop clerk. As for college, she had always yearned for it, but unfortunately didn't have the financial means to attend, and because she worked too much, her grades suffered greatly. Su Xiaopeng was different, however, with a strong desire in his heart, he studied very hard and always managed to rank among the top three in his grade. The original owner planned to support him through college, but he knew their financial situation wasn't good and wanted to help share some of the burden. However, since he was under 16 years old, no one would hire him, even temporary jobs were hard to find, and the original owner didn't want him to go out and work either, so he could only focus on his studies. Fortunately, every semester he managed to bring back a considerable amount of scholarship money. When Su Xiaopeng finally turned 16 years old, the original owner had a stable income, and they were able to make ends meet with their savings, but his plan to start working was put on hold once again.
The male lead, Qin Hui, is a handsome and wealthy young master who is also the childhood sweetheart of the female lead, Xiao Ya. One day, after getting into an argument with his strict father, he wandered aimlessly to the night market in a bad mood. Coincidentally, he ran into two hoodlums who were eyeing Xiao Ya's beauty and trying to take advantage of her. Unable to stand by and watch, Qin Hui stepped in and fought off the thugs, but ended up getting injured in the process. Feeling guilty and grateful, Xiao Ya offered to take him to the hospital to get checked out. Qin Hui, not wanting to go home, took advantage of Xiao Ya's kindness and pretended to be pitiful, asking her to take him in. Xiao Ya, with a soft heart, agreed and brought him back to her rental place. Although the small house was old, it was cozy and clean, and Qin Hui shamelessly decided to stay.
Su Xiaopeng usually lived in school, leaving only these two men and women living together in a room, naturally rubbing out sparks. In the past few days, Qin Hui had a general understanding of Yu Zhuo's life experience, and while feeling heartbroken, he was also moved by her strength and bravery, falling in love with her. Of course, Yu Zhuo's beautiful appearance was also a key factor. Yu Zhuo also fell for this handsome man, but when she learned about Qin Hui's family background, she became timid, feeling that she wasn't worthy of him, and painfully rejected his confession.
Tan Hui invited the original owner to a party on his birthday, and the original owner didn't want to go at first, fearing that it was a gathering place for rich people. However, she couldn't resist Tan Hui's persistence and reluctantly agreed. Afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, Tan Hui also considerately invited Su Xiao Peng along.
Just then, Xiaoya also arrived at the party and both she and Yuanzhi recognized each other. The three of them started reminiscing about old times.
Xiao Ya was heartbroken to see Tan Hui so fond of the original owner, and she complained to Liu Zheng as soon as she got home. Liu Zheng was hurt on one hand because his beloved had fallen in love with someone else, but he couldn't bear to see her sad, so he gritted his teeth and agreed to help her be with Tan Hui.
Afterwards, Xiaoya went to find Yuanzhu and Su Xiaopeng several times, unintentionally showing the difference in their living standards, trying to provoke Yuanzhu's inferiority and jealousy.
Of course, she succeeded. The original host began to twist in her shadow, especially after seeing the engagement of Xiaoya and Qianhui in the newspaper, she started to turn black.
She originally thought she wasn't good enough for Qin Hui and wanted to leave, but now in order to compete with Xiao Ya, she tried every means to get him. Qin Hui was disappointed in her instead. Adding to that, the family arrangement made it unavoidable for them to be together, and slowly he was moved by her kindness and innocence, thinking that the original owner was mediocre, and he only loved her because of a momentary impulse, so he proposed breaking up.
Tan Hui's abandonment made the original owner blacken even more thoroughly. Her younger brother, who had been silently contributing to support him in his studies and daily life, also blamed Xiaoya for her, making her feel cold and resentful. She went to find Xiaoya, but during the argument, she accidentally pushed her down the stairs.
Xiao Ya falls into a coma and is sent to the hospital, Qin Hui learns of her injury and is heartbroken, only then realizing he has deeply fallen in love with her, and his hatred for the original master becomes thorough. Su Xiao Peng also cannot forgive the original master for harming Xiao Ya, and cuts off all ties with her, leaving the original master isolated and alone.
Tan Hui reported to the police, wanting the original owner to be punished by law. After Xiao Ya woke up, she kindly expressed her willingness to forgive her and asked everyone not to pursue it, so the original owner was released from the detention center.
Ke Liu did not want to end it like this, so he used his connections to have the original owner locked up in a mental hospital. He told Xiaoya that she really had mental problems, and after Xiaoya sighed a few times, she calmly married Qin Hui.
The original owner suffered in the mental hospital, hating Xiangya and everyone more and more. At this time, Liu Zheng sent people to find his daughter and brought back reliable news, confirming that "Suoluo" was indeed the little girl who got lost that year. However, Liu Zheng's first reaction was not joy but disappointment, feeling that his own daughter was such a cruel person, but out of kinship, he still decided to go see her.
Xiao Ya only then spoke out that she had long known she wasn't Liu Zheng's biological child, but couldn't bear to see her father lonely and sad, so she kept it hidden. Liu Zheng felt heartache for her carrying this secret alone and still being so filial to him.
Xiao Ya suggested going to see the original owner as well, and Liu Zheng agreed.
The original owner was already unconscious at this time, and when she saw Xiaoya, she rushed up to strangle her, saying that she wanted her to die, but was quickly subdued. Liu Zheng looked at the red mark on Xiaoya's neck and decided that he would never have such a vicious daughter again. He pretended that she had not been found after running away that year and instructed the person in charge of the mental hospital to never let her out, so as not to give her another chance to harm Xiaoya. All expenses were borne by him, and then he took the injured and weak Xiaoya away.
The original owner was trapped in a mental hospital like this until he could no longer bear it and chose to commit suicide several years later.
Xiao Ya is a big winner in life, marrying the one she loves and resolving Liu Zheng's issue with his biological daughter. She has lived a smooth and happy life. Liu Zheng has always silently protected her as a father figure, and Su Xiao Peng has always loved her, even after getting married and having children, he never changed his mind.
