The Book Was…
For families like the Li's, adopting daughters wouldn't be just the family having dinner together. They'd pick a time, hold a banquet, and officially introduce the two of them to the others. As for the timing of this event, they'd need to give it some thought.
It was late at night when Fang JunRong returned to her bedroom. Since her re-birth, she could no longer stomach sleeping in the same room as Li WangJin. Their mansion was quite big anyway and had many rooms. All Fang JunRong needed to do was clean out a room and move into it.
Of course, she also made up some lackadaisical excuse that she hadn't been feeling well lately, so she hired some fengshui master to check on her. She was told that the original room wasn't good for her health. Li WangJin didn't think much about it and that's how the two ended up in different bedrooms.
She used to enjoy having a small glass of wine before bed. She had since lost that habit since her re-birth. Previously, someone had added drugs to her wine, giving her a bad temperament. For a while there, she had a very quick temper and would snap for no reason all the time.
In her previous life, she had enemies surrounding her from all directions.
Thinking about it for a while, Fang JunRong lay in bed and got ready to sleep. She didn't forget to lock the door from the inside, however. She wasn't sure whether it was a figment of her imagination, but the moment she closed her eyes, she saw a slight green glow that bubbled up and quickly disappeared.
----------
Fang JunRong knew that she was dreaming. Oddly, she had dreamt before, but in none of them, she felt as awake as she was right now. She noticed she was standing on top of a mountain, one so tall it reached into the clouds. It felt like she was in some fantasyland.
She had never been here before and had no idea why she'd dream about it, but most dreams were not logical. It wasn't a big deal dreaming about a mountain that she had never seen before.
She saw a stone tablet not too far away from her. The tablet glowed and looked very unusual.
Perhaps because it was a dream, Fang JunRong was braver than usual and walked directly toward the tablet. The language on the tablet wasn't one that she recognized; it all seemed very metaphysical. Nonetheless, when she reached out to touch the tablet, it seemed to have translated for her right away, and she could understand what was written on it.
11 grams of
Eh? That looked like a prescription. Okay, she had heard of duruo but hadn't heard of anything called yunyingcao. Out of curiosity, Fang JunRong still tried hard to commit the prescription to her memory.
Even so, she could only read the top two of the prescriptions. The rest of the content on the tablet might as well have matrices over it, and she couldn't make out anything from them. On the upper right-hand corner of the tablet was a carved book. More surprisingly, the book was flipping through the pages automatically. It was not scientific that a stone book could be animated.
But, since it was a dream, nothing needed to be logical.
After her initial shock, Fang JunRong quickly recollected herself and felt that she had no problem. A dream was a dream.
Written on the cover was – "The Doted on and Fortunate Wife of a Prestigious Family."
Fang JunRong reached out her hand toward the book, and the flipping book suddenly stopped, as if it was petrified. In the next second, the book turned into a stream of light and entered her through her fingertips.
Fang JunRong gasped as the massive amount of information gave her a huge headache.
[Jiang YaGe, in her dress that was starting to turn white from being washed too many times, was standing in front of the delicate mansion that looked like it came out of a painting. Her heart pounding in her chest. Was she really going to join the Li's?
Before her mother passed away, she had told Jiang YaGe that she could look to Uncle Li for help if she ran into trouble. She explained that Uncle Li would help her because of their relationship from college. But Jiang YaGe wasn't too confident about that. The Li's were on the list of wealthiest families in the country. Would they have the time of the day for her? If her cousin didn't scam her out of all the money that she had made over her summer vacation leaving her with no tuition for the next semester, she would never have come.
She got her courage up and was just about to press the doorbell when a luxurious car pulled up. The car door opened, and a young and pretty girl exited the car. Jiang YaGe looked at the dress that the girl was wearing --- she had seen that brand in a magazine before. It cost tens of thousands of yuan. That dress itself cost more than her four years of tuition combined. She felt a sense of inferiority complex bubbling inside of her.
The girl looked at her in surprise and asked in her crisp voice, "Are you here to interview for the maid position?"
Jiang YaGe's face turned beet red. The feeling of disgrace was so strong that her eyes turned red immediately, "No, I am not."]
----------
The book was quite long with Jiang YaGe being the female lead. At first, Fang JunRong thought this was just a fictitious novel until the content matched everything that had happened in her past.
In the book, after Jiang YaGe had joined the Li's, she met Li WangJin, who treated her as though she was his daughter; the cold and handsome Li ShiZe; the elegant but distant Fang JunRong; and Li XinYun, who'd always antagonize her.
She had always been fond of Li ShiZe, and Li ShiZe seemed to have some feelings for her, but neither pursued it. One time, during a banquet, Jiang YaGe drank a little too much, walked into the wrong room, and had intimacy with Li ShiZe. Li ShiZe was attracted to her body, and the two began their hidden love affair. Li ShiZe even stole his mother's bracelet and gave it to Jiang YaGe as a gift.
Jiang YaGe had always hidden the bracelet underneath her sleeve until the day that Fang JunRong accidentally cut her finger on a sheet of paper. Jiang YaGe wanted to appease her lover's mother, so she offered to help her clean up her wound. She had accidentally touched Fang JunRong's blood during the process.
After she returned to her room and appreciated the bracelet, the door to a whole new world opened for her when Fang JunRong's blood came into contact with the bracelet. There was a wonderland in inside the bracelet with a mystical mountain, a spring, and some prescriptions that could only belong to a wonderland.
She had stealthily created these prescriptions and established and secured her relationships with many big bosses. She became their goddaughter and a natural in the upper-class circle. She went from an orphan to an ideal person in many people's minds.
Using the medicine from the wonderland, she treated Wang Xiao, the prince of the underworld. Wang Xiao fell madly in love with her ever since then. He was cold and vicious in front of everyone but showed her his soft side.
She helped Fang JueMing, the film emperor whose fingers were fractured. The film emperor, too, fell in love with her. He'd always guard her like her knight in shining armor.
She made a pact with Zhang Bi, a genius doctor, who was conquered by her pure but stubborn personality. He even drugged Fang JunRong for her, making Fang JunRong have an easy temper and even hallucinations.
She was around high-quality men all the time, which made Li ShiZe jealous. As both Fang JunRong and Li XinYun didn't like her, and her friend Zhong Yi had also fallen in love with Li ShiZe, the relationship between Jiang YaGe and Li ShiZe had to overcome one obstacle after another. All the breakups and make-ups only strengthened their relationships. There were also a few of Jiang YaGe's male friends who were fond of Jiang YaGe, and some villainess female supporting characters who wanted to break up Jiang YaGe and Li ShiZe.
Her good friend Zhong Yi tried repeatedly to set her up and harm her. Finally, all the truth came out, and she was sold to some poor village and life was hellish for her.
As for Li XinYun, as she had offended Jiang YaGe, she was finally set up by Wang Xiao and given to one of his goons as a toy. In the end, she broke down and committed suicide.
Fang JunRong, on the other hand, was sent to the mental institution personally by Li WangJin and Li ShiZe.
Jiang YaGe ended up with a father-in-law who doted on her, a husband who loved her with his life, and a happy life. When she learned of Fang JunRong's death, a few tears rolled down her cheeks, but deep down inside, she let out a sigh of relief.
On the other hand, Li WangJin also became a couple with Jiang YaGe's aunt. As it turned out, Li WangJin was very fond of Wang SiEr, Jiang YaGe's mother when he was younger. Jiang YaGe's aunt was her twin, and they looked very much alike. As far as Li WangJin was concerned, he was finally with "the one who got away."
----------
From Jiang YaGe's perspective, there was only some bitterness at the beginning of her life. Then, she was beloved by all sorts of men, and the entire book turned into a cheerful and satisfying read. It was also like a class-A drama where the story arc went up and down and reeled in the audience.
Fang JunRong, on the other hand, could almost bleed from her eyes with hatred.
She hated Jiang YaGe but hated her son Li ShiZe and her husband Li WangJin even more. Never mind that Jiang YaGe used her treasure against her. Not only did Li ShiZe, her BBQ-pork son, steal her bracelet for love and hand a cheat over to Jiang YaGe, but he decided to treat his mother and sister cruelly.
Li WangJin's heart had always been on Wang SiEr, yet he had courted her, married her, and never forgot about Wang SiEr for even a day.
No wonder. No wonder Li WangJin was so kind to Jiang YaGe and scolded XinYun repeatedly for Jiang YaGe.
It was her own fault that she hadn't seen through all this until it was too late in her past life. When Fang JunRong previously figured it out she was already stuck in a bad situation. Perhaps, even Heaven couldn't sit by and watch those people commit disgustingly evil acts and give her a chance for a redo.
Fang JunRong opened her eyes again. She could still feel a throbbing headache, and the book she read was etched in her mind.
Perseverance burned in her eyes, and her smile was cold.
Thanks to the book, she had a good idea of how to get a divorce now. As Li WangJin had never forgotten about his white moonlight, he was willing to be with Jiang YaGe's aunt instead. Alright, she would see to it that they become a couple!
