But in the end, he waited for Su Ran through the crack in the door.
He was the one who was abandoned.
Then he cut his wrists.
He thought that if he died, it would be his fate.
If he didn’t die, he would sever all ties with Jiang Nanshu.
The cigarette butt burned his fingertip.
Lu Qingyan snapped back to reality, crushing the cigarette butt in the ashtray.
Then he stood up and went to the basement.
He didn’t know why, but he particularly liked houses with basements.
Even though he had spent his childhood in such an environment.
Lu Qingyan thought faintly, perhaps the abnormal traits really are hereditary, as his mother was such an extreme person.
He slowly opened the basement door.
Seeing the horrific state of the person inside, his usually calm expression turned to pleasure.
“Long time no see, Chu Muxi… Oh, no, I should call you Tao Tao, the transmigrator.”
Suddenly hearing Lu Qingyan’s voice, Tao Tao stared at him in terror.
She used to love seeing him smile, but now she only saw him as a devil with a smile that hid a knife.
Her eyes were so dry that she couldn’t shed a tear.
Her wrists were chafed raw by the shackles, forming layers of scabs. Her wounds oozed pus. Because she hadn’t seen the sun for years, her face was deathly pale, devoid of any color. She was so thin that she was just a skeleton, and a single, thin garment hung on her body, making her look particularly eerie.
Even if Jiang Nanshu were standing here, upon seeing Chu Muxi at this moment, she wouldn’t dare to recognize that face.
Tao Tao was in despair. She wept and kowtowed to Lu Qingyan, pleading, “Kill me! Please kill me! Woo, woo…kill me!”
She no longer wanted to experience someone else’s fate, to live the life of a substitute for the female lead of another world.
Trapped here, she knew nothing of time, nothing of the outside world, nothing of day or night. She even suffered from neurasthenia; the slightest sound would cause her to tremble uncontrollably.
She regretted it…
Other travelers perfectly substituted for the female leads of the other worlds, enjoying all the privileges a female lead should have.
Why was it different when it came to her?
A beloved family, a devoted lover, a thriving career, and powerful friends—she had nothing.
She even lost her target body and was replaced by this sickly and ugly one.
She cried until her face was covered in tears and snot. When she looked up, she saw Lu Qingyan smiling but with cold eyes. Despair welled up in her heart.
Lu Qingyan wanted to kill her.
He would torture her to death slowly until she breathed her last. He would not let her go.
“Woo, woo, I’ve told you everything. Everything about me, everything about Jiang Nanshu, everything about this world. Everything you wanted to know, I’ve told you. Please let me go.”
Tao Tao kowtowed to Lu Qingyan until her forehead was bleeding. The blood on the ground was stained with dirty dust.
Lu Qingyan took out a cigarette case from his pocket and slowly lit one.
The firelight flickered on his face, casting shadows. When he lowered his eyes, he was icy cold, yet when he looked up at her, a hint of a smile appeared.
“If I let you go, who will let my Nan Nan go? When you knew that her little life was going to die, did you ever think about letting my poor Nan Nan go?”
Lu Qingyan murmured, “You all deserve to die.”
Tao Tao even forgot to shed tears.
Why hasn’t anyone come to save her yet?
Where is Jiang Nanshu?
Why hasn’t she come to save her?
She clearly smashed the chains to warn her…

And… Why is she so certain that Xiao Jiang will save her? Hehe…
Didn’t she remember her past ‘good deeds’?
