1 Through the Book

Bang!'

The sound of a hard object colliding with the back of someone's head echoed through the hall.

Qin Qing felt a suffocating sensation around her neck before she could react. 

A resentful gaze of a middle-aged man confronted Qin Qing. 

"You wicked ingrate! Hand over the antidote now! If anything happens to Ruo'er, I'll ensure to make you pay with your life! After all the years that the Qin family has raised you, is this how you repay us?!"

Qin Qing struggled as she desperately shoved Father Qin's hand, but the dizziness in her head and the asphyxiation weakened her.

A memory suddenly surged into Qin Qing's mind like a tide right then.

As it turned out, Qin Qing transmigrated into a novel she had read before. She ended up possessing the body of a villainous female supporting character in the book.

The original host was an arrogant and domineering young lady from the Qin family. Although she had always been at odds with her parents, the host grew up under their doting care.

But all of this privileged life was disrupted by the female protagonist of the original book.

In the end, the original host was not the real daughter at all, and the female protagonist was the true heiress.

But how could the original host accept this fact? As a result, she began to constantly sabotage the female protagonist.

This time, the original host drugged the female protagonist to prevent the latter from attending the evening banquet.

Who would have thought that the family's nanny would accidentally discover the truth? Accordingly, the nanny revealed everything for fear of trouble.

Father Qin immediately expelled the original host from the Qin family in a fit of anger.

From that point on, the original host went down the path of villainy and eventually met her tragic end in a car accident.

As for Qin Qing, she was a mysterious figure in various fields who just read her first novel in her life after developing a sudden interest. 

Even so, Qin Qing never expected to transmigrate into it.

In truth, Qin Qing was highly displeased with the situation. Transmigrating itself was one thing, but being instantly threatened upon transmigration was another.

Qin Qing was a person who disliked trouble. She didn't want to get involved in the chaotic events of the book.

Against her wishes, the book had already taken over.

Qin Qing would peacefully live her own life as long as no one provoked her.

In the next second, Qin Qing's gaze inadvertently fell upon the faint movement of Qin Ruo's fingers beside her, and her eyes darkened even more.

Was the so-called pure and kind female protagonist really the same as her description in the book?

Qin Qing opened her mouth with a hoarse voice.

"I'll give it... Let me go!"

Father Qin hesitated for a moment before releasing.

"Don't play any tricks with me!"

The shackles around Qin Qing's neck finally disappeared. She could only gasp for breath as her body remained feeble.

Qin Qing leaned on the edge of the table, stood up, and walked to Qin Ruo's bedside. She then glanced at Ji Lu who was standing beside Qin Ruo.

Ji Lu was the man whom the original host longed for but couldn't have. He was the male supporting character in the book. The moment Ji Lu laid eyes on Qin Ruo, he fell in love with her.

Ji Lu looked down on the original host from the bottom of his heart and often criticized her without distinction for the sake of Qin Ruo.

Qin Qing discreetly withdrew her gaze. Ha, what a piece of garbage, hiding behind a glamorous facade!

Qin Qing examined Qin Ruo's pulse but found no abnormality.

It seemed that the female protagonist had known about the original host's scheme and planned to counter it by expelling the latter.

Qin Qing sparingly lowered her eyelids. Calculating against her would come at a cost.

Qin Qing took out a silver needle from her pocket. Fortunately, the original host had a recent obsession with acupuncture. With it, Qin Qing could break free from her current predicament.

Qin Qing drew out the silver needle with the intention to pierce Qin Ruo's body, but Ji Lu grabbed Qin Qing's wrist in anger.

"What are you doing? Is it not enough that you have poisoned Ruo'er? Now you want to kill her with a silver needle?! Don't tell me you're going to claim that you want to save Ruo'er with that silver needle. It's laughable. Do you really think you can become a god just by learning a little bit of traditional Chinese medicine? Your foolishness is probably going to kill someone."

Qin Qing sneered and directly aimed the silver needle at Ji Lu's body.

"Ah!"

The stinging pain in Ji Lu's hand made him cry out.

"You despicable woman..."

Qin Qing paid Ji Lu no attention. She swiftly retracted the silver needle and pierced Qin Ruo's head twice with it.

Qin Ruo on the sickbed didn't even have time to dodge.

Rapidly, Qin Ruo's face began to flush and even turn blue.
