QTMWSFC Chapter 16

After a dizzying sensation, Xu Xinghe felt the scene around him rapidly changing. The shift from clear to blurry happened in an instant until a new location was revealed in front of him.

He appeared in a very large room. The furnishings were clean and simple, giving the impression of an office.

He knew that in the previous world, he and Xia Qingmeng had lived out their lives until they died of natural death. So now, he must have transmigrated into another new world.

But gradually, the emotional memories from the last small world became increasingly blurred. Xu Xinghe tried hard to hold onto them but failed.

At the final moment before the emotional memories disappeared, Xu Xinghe asked 0250, “Why are my feelings disappearing?”

0250 explained: “Because carrying too many emotional attachments from a previous life is incompatible with your new world character settings, and it would be unfair to your new world partner. For the sake of purity, erasing emotions is necessary.”

Although Xu Xinghe felt regret, he thought it made sense. Each world was relatively independent. He shouldn’t mix these feelings together.

“However, Host can rest assured. Only your personal emotions are being erased, other memories will remain. When all tasks are completed, the system will automatically restore the erased emotional memories.”

Xu Xinghe suddenly understood. No wonder he had only lost his feelings while retaining all other memories. He nodded. “0250, transmit the plot of this world to me.”

[Alright. Plot transmission ready. 2%… 15%… 45%… 99%… Plot transmission complete.]

With a wave of heat and swelling in his head, the original plot gradually unfolded in his mind.

The original owner, that is himself now, had taken over the position of chairman of the Xu Group at a young age, succeeding his father. In this world, cities were represented by various letters like A, B, C, and so on. The capital of Xia Country was called A City. The Xu Group was a famous and powerful family in A City, with business spanning multiple industries and formidable influence.

But such a group that seemed almost never to decline and always prosperous would gradually decline later in the plot and eventually be swallowed up by the Chu family. The root of all this was the original body’s own doing.

Who did the original owner have to like of all people? He secretly loved Yin Xinya, the female lead of the story, treating her as the white moonlight¹first love, cherished but ultimately unattainable of his life and serving as her licking dog unconditionally. But Yin Xinya only saw him as a ‘dear good brother’ and kept him hanging as a spare tire.

While abroad, Yin Xinya met the male lead Chu Xiuwen, and after returning to the country, she ultimately chose to be with him. The two of them joined forces to take over the Xu Group and lived a ‘happy and fulfilling’ life.

After learning that his white moonlight was with another man, the original owner’s mental state became increasingly abnormal. He turned into a mad and paranoid person, doing many extreme things and causing numerous troubles for the male lead’s and female lead’s relationship.

Of course, all his efforts failed in the end. Not only that, but the male lead and female lead also stood on their moral high ground and pointed fingers at the original owner, criticizing him for being useless. At the same time, they also expressed their regret for him becoming like this.

One could say that although the original owner did all sorts of bad things, the two of them took all the good reputation for themselves.

Xu Xinghe skimmed through the plot and almost passed out from anger.

How many blood clots in the brain did the original owner have to lick the female lead like this? How blind was he to not see that Yin Xinya was just using him?

What female lead?

She was clearly a manipulative, fake, two-faced white lotus!

The female lead Yin Xinya was a long-lost daughter of the Yin family. She was only brought back to the family when she was in junior high school. She attended the same high school as the original owner. Generally speaking, one could say they grew up together.

The Yin family wasn’t as powerful as the Xu family, but they were still a reputable clan. Thanks to Yin Xinya’s friendship with Xu Xinghe, the Yin family had smooth sailing in the following years under the Xu family’s protection.

The male lead Chu Xiuwen was an illegitimate son of the Chu family’s second branch. He was quite capable and cunning, enduring hardships at the Chu family with extraordinary patience. The Chu family’s strength was comparable to the Xu family’s, but their interpersonal relationships were far more tangled and messy.

But Xu Xinghe could understand that. These days, if your family relationships weren’t complicated enough, you couldn’t even qualify as a male lead.

And the entire story had a tragic, love-brained supporting female character, the one destined for Xu Xinghe in this small world—Xia Qingmeng.

In the original plot, the original owner happened to come across Xia Qingmeng during a work inspection. At that time, she was filming a scene, and her makeup and styling made her look somewhat similar to Yin Xinya, which made the original owner take a second look.

Xia Qingmeng was just an 18th-tier, unknown little actress. Thanks to the original owner remembering her, he casually gave her a few opportunities and resources. Her career gradually improved, and eventually she signed with the entertainment company under the Xu Group.

But this was only the beginning of Xia Qingmeng’s tragic suffering.

The female lead Yin Xinya had gone abroad to study and gild her resume starting in high school. From then on, the original owner buried his longing and unrequited love deep in his heart, letting it fester and grow. He planned to confess to her when she returned to China.

During those years of waiting, whenever the original owner missed his white moonlight, he would go and look at Xia Qingmeng. Year after year, he developed a certain pity for her and occasionally helped her out.

To the original owner, this was just a casual gesture. But to Xia Qingmeng, it was an immense kindness. She couldn’t help but gradually develop feelings for him.

Although Yin Xinya was abroad, she still cared deeply about matters back home, especially those concerning the original owner. In her subconscious mind, even if she didn’t like someone who pursued her, that person was not allowed to pursue anyone else. Otherwise, it would be disloyalty to her.

So when she learned that the original owner often helped Xia Qingmeng, jealousy drove her to retaliate against Xia Qingmeng. As a result, Xia Qingmeng was constantly viciously attacked online. Headlines about her always revolved around words like “unspoken rules,” “sexual transactions,” “capital,” and “the other woman,” circling endlessly.

Although Xia Qingmeng was wrongly accused, the original owner didn’t care about her at all, so he never dealt with any of the rumors involving him.

Scandals might not mean much to a man, but they could easily ruin a woman. Eventually, Xia Qingmeng’s agent couldn’t help it and risked losing his job to come and beg the original owner to help clarify things.

Around that time, Yin Xinya was about to graduate and return to China. Following the advice of some incompetent advisor, the original owner decided to let the rumors stand and go public with Xia Qingmeng. His plan was to use the relationship to stimulate Yin Xinya, thinking it might help him win her over.

Xia Qingmeng, who already had feelings for the original owner, naively agreed. The two became an official public couple.

Xia Qingmeng was secretly happy about it. Unfortunately, the original owner was only using her. What made things worse was that after Yin Xinya returned to China, she was not stimulated at all but also generously gave them her blessing. This was a devastating blow to the original owner, and he became even more indifferent towards Xia Qingmeng.

Because of his long-standing unrequited love, the original owner grew increasingly impatient with Xia Qingmeng. After all, a stand-in²substitute was still just a stand-in, never the real one. After being provoked by the male lead and female lead again and again, the original owner gradually darkened into a villain, becoming paranoid and sinister.

All of these negative emotions eventually backfired onto Xia Qingmeng. In the end, the original owner even imprisoned her. Before he could have Yin Xinya, he imagined Xia Qingmeng as her, treating her with erratic swings between hot and cold. Xia Qingmeng suffered from both physical and psychological torture as a result.

But Xia Qingmeng was always grateful to the original owner for discovering and supporting her. She loved him deeply from the bottom of her heart, so she was willing to be a stand-in. She even carried his child and gave him everything.

Tragically, Xia Qingmeng suffered two miscarriages in a row, severely damaging her health. To make matters worse, the original owner then got into a car accident. Having lost everything, Xia Qingmeng was overwhelmed by despair and finally couldn’t bear it. She followed him in suicide.

After reading the plot, Xu Xinghe’s face turned pale.

Although Xia Qingmeng had also suffered in the original plot of the previous world, strictly speaking, that hadn’t been his fault. But in this world, he was the very source of Xia Qingmeng’s tragedy!

Xu Xinghe leaned back in the chair and rubbed his temple, his heart full of mixed emotions.

The original owner in this world was truly a complete scumbag. And that foolish girl, Xia Qingmeng, insisted on being so good to him… What was the point? Did she have Stockholm syndrome or something?

The original owner was a pervert who imprisoned her!

Then there were also the children Xia Qingmeng miscarried. Could they have been Le Le and Yao Yao? He refused to believe those were merely accidents.

At that thought, Xu Xinghe’s eyes turned cold.

He was not the original owner in the plot. He wouldn’t do those outrageous things. He would make Xia Qingmeng happy, and he would make the male lead and female lead suffer complete ruin!

After the plot transmission finished, there was a period of memory integration.

Xu Xinghe had transmigrated at a very good moment, just as the plot was about to get on track.

The day after tomorrow, the female lead Yin Xinya would return from her studies abroad and hold a homecoming banquet. This banquet would be the beginning of all the entanglements of love and hate.

In the original plot, the original owner set aside an important project and took Xia Qingmeng to Yin Xinya’s homecoming banquet. It was at this banquet that Yin Xinya gave her blessing, which stimulated the original owner. In a fit of rage, he abandoned Xia Qingmeng, leaving her humiliated and sending her straight to the top of the trending searches.

Xu Xinghe massaged his temples. The most urgent task now was to get that previously dismissed project back on track. As for the banquet? It was actually a perfect opportunity to clear Xia Qingmeng’s name.
