Holding Onto My Man-CHAPTER 1: REBIRTH OF A CANNON FODDER
CHAPTER 1: REBIRTH OF A CANNON FODDER
Due to a lazy syndrome writer, for the sake of saving time, the prelude is skipped to quickly start the story. So when Gu Bai woke up, he already died. Surrounded by a dark stary sky, full of stars and nothing else, the coldness can’t help but raise a sense of loneliness from the bottom of the heart.
Gu Bai’s soul has been floating midair for a long time. Although he doesn’t know what happened, he knows that he is definitely dead.
Because the surrounding feels too real and his body is transparent, he can’t fool himself into thinking that it’s a dream, and his luck has always been not good. He absolutely does not think he can survive the accident of an airplane explosion.
“Do you want to live?”
Suddenly, a cold and steady machine like voice that lacked human emotions sounded in the stars.
Gu Bai blanked and did not respond, he really doesn’t know what’s the current situation, it doesn’t look like heaven or hell, what the heck it this?
With all his doubts, Gu Bai could not help but look around and wanted to find the source of that voice. “Who are you?”
That voice paused and said, “I am not important. The important thing is that you are going to disappear. I can give you the chance to live...”
“What does it mean to disappear?” Gu Bai sharply seized the point.
“You are dead. You are now just a weak soul. If you disappear again, you have no chance to reincarnate, that is to say, there will never be...”
The voice is very patient.
Accompanied by that voice, Gu Bai could indeed feel that his body was becoming more and more transparent, and his soul was getting weaker and weaker, as if it were to disappear soon.
This feeling that he will forever cease to exist doesn’t feel very good, and he doesn’t want to actually die.
No matter how cruel the reality is, starting from the very first day he became sensible in the orphanage, there was only one thought in his mind.
Live and continue to live a even better life, this is his dream.
But this pie that fell from the sky is unbelievable, so he still hesitated and continued to observe the empty darkness.
“...I want to live, but what are your conditions?”
“My condition is that you become my subordinate, enter the world that I appoint and complete the mission...”
That voice is still cold and emotionless.
“What task do I need to complete?” Gu Bai continued to ask.
The voice did not hurry to answer. After a short silence, the dark space around it changed, and then books with flash of light appeared and kept flying midair.
“As you now see, although these books are stories, they are actually small worlds that really exist. The characters in these books all have real souls the moment they’re born...”
“I need you to enter the worlds of these books to fulfill the desires of those who have sought for my soul. By then, when the mission is completed, you will continue to enjoy life in those worlds. If you fail, you will disappear forever. Even the present condition of the soul can’t exist...”
“In other words, even if I live, I use the shell of someone else?”
Gu Bai was a little overwhelmed. He wanted to be alive. However, what’s the point of living as someone else, is Gu Bai’s life still meaningful? 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮
It seems to have felt his hesitation, that cold voice was silence for a while then sounded once more.
“Yes, but if the mission is done well, I may give you a chance to be reborn in the future. Live in the state of a soul to complete tasks or disappear immediately? You have half an hour to choose...”
“I choose to do the tasks.”
Gu Bai is no longer hesitant. Although he is no longer a human being and the living body is also the skin of others, but at least it’s better than disappearing forever.
He doesn’t want to die. Humans are greedy. At least he doesn’t want to die right now. Not to mention this mysterious voice said that if it was done well, he will have the chance to reborn.
“The goal has been agreed, signing a contract, name Gu Bai, male, 23 years old...” 𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢
When the words fell, the cold voice sounded and Gu Bai just felt the surrounding space distorting. Then something entered his body and transformed his transparent soul into an actual body, very comfortable.
With the sense and hope of living on, Gu Bai touched his soul’s body and felt very satisfied. The youthful face showed a pure smile.
This is what he was naturally born with, although the word pure and the black hearted orphanage he crawled out from didn’t match, but he still naturally grew a pure looking face.
This may be one of the reasons why this mysterious voice chose him to do the task. A pure person is probably a loyal and hard working subordinate?
Actually his personality is not pure and honest, but he knows “A wise man submits to circumstances”.
So he quickly accepted the circumstances, and relented in the space where there’s literally no one.
“Master, I am ready to start the mission...”
“Alright, immediately enter the world. Remember, if you die before completing the mission, you will disappear forever...”
The mysterious voice is still cold without affection. With a twist of dizziness, Gu Bai lost consciousness and his body turned into a white light that entered into the world.
“Lu Rongqing, you can slowly enjoy it here...” After just restoring his consciousness, Gu Bai heard a gloating woman’s voice coming from his ear, then she left in her high heels.
Then, without waiting for him to respond, he felt that the rush of heat on his body that made him feel a little dizzy and raise a special kind of desire.
He moaned reflexively, involuntarily curled his body and clamped his legs, bit his lip and opened his eyes.
This is a KTV box, other than the screen that is playing the song is lit, the surrounding is very dark, the snacks on the table and the fruit plate all spilled on the ground, the room is messy.
Gu Bai doesn’t know what’s the current situation, but his instincts doesn’t feel right.
He clearly remembered that mysterious voice said that if he died before completing the task, he would disappear forever and no longer exist, so it is imperative that he figure out his task this time.
The body felt uncomfortably hot, he clambered to the table to drink a glass of iced water, and then locked the door to prevent people from crashing in to cause an accident before closing his eyes to receive the story ... ...
The world for this time’s mission is a story about the rebirth of a woman changing fate and revenge.
The heroine in the book is called Wu Zhenzhen, daughter of a real estate businessman.
Although the Wu family is not a top tyrant in B city, it is definitely a wealthy upper-class. Like most wealthy men, Wu family has one or two illegitimate children.
However, Wu Zhenzhen is the child of Wu family’s fist wife and has a very high status at home. Her father likes her very much. She grew up living in such a wealthy family and was so loved by his parents. Therefore, her character is very naive and her mind is very simple.
Living a life in the melodramatic power struggle of a wealthy family, simple minded people will not have any good ending, so after the death of her mother, her protection was gone, she wasn’t an opponent towards those few illegitimate children at home at all.
Even if Mr. Wu likes her more, because of the company’s busy schedule, there won’t be any time to look after her. Very quickly, under the scheming of one of the illegitimate daughters, her situation kept worsening.
The father that originally loved her hated her more and more. The friends around her also liked the illegitimate daughter. Even boy she liked and chased for many years that was close to finally becoming hers changed to gradually like the illegitimate daughter.
She was extremely furious and fought with the illegitimate daughter, but her skills were inferior. The illegitimate daughter instead planned someone to rape her. Those unbearable photos were spread out and destroyed her reputation.
Since then her life has completely fallen to the bottom, everyone reject, hate and despise her. Unable to stay in the country anymore, her father can only send her abroad.
However, she did not expect that going abroad also failed to escape the calculations of the illegitimate daughter. Coupled with a blow to her self esteem, she soon became infected with drug addiction and gambling habits, angering her father to the point of cutting ties with her. In the end she died from drug overdose on the streets abroad.
When Wu Zhenzhen died, she was very young and was only in her twenties, those were the great years of youth, so she was extremely unwilling and resentful.
After she was reborn, she began to retaliate with strong resentment and loath.
She will retaliate against her father, if it wasn’t because of her father’s unfaithfulness to her mother, that vicious illegitimate daughter would not exist, she will retaliate against the slut that ruined her life, she will retaliate against all who have harmed her!
Using past memory, while the illegitimate daughter haven’t enter the door yet, she began to work hard to strengthen herself, turning a originally unruly little princess into a rich lady full of knowledge.
When the illegitimate daughter finally entered the door, she began the revenge plan and laid down a number of traps. Not only did she snatch her favorite boyfriend, but she also arranged to give back to the illegitimate daughter the rape from her previous life and let the illegitimate daughter suffer the consequences of one’s own action.
A tooth for a tooth, the photos were also spread out, ruining the pure image and reputation of the illegitimate daughter. Just like her previous life, she found someone to lure the illegitimate daughter to go on the same path of drug abuse and gambling addiction.
There’s still her father and those who offended her in the past life. She took the opportunity to retaliate back against all of them. The original host was one of her revenge’s cannon fodder.
