In the early morning, there was a gentle breeze.
Jiang Shining slowly opened her eyes. She breathed and felt that she had slept very comfortably. Her mind and habits were still in that resource-scarce doomsday zombie world. So the soft and comfortable bed beneath her made her feel as if she was in the clouds.
Making her feel refreshed.
Having experienced five times of traveling through books, Jiang Shining was no longer surprised by the sudden change of identity and environment. She just blinked her eyes, stared at the ceiling, and silently accepted the information that suddenly appeared in her brain.
According to her request, the robot in charge of the book-traversing space-time arranged her identity as a 23-year-old girl living alone with unknown parents and no relatives. As for the property she exchanged, it was given by a distant relative whom she had never met. The distant relative was a wealthy man who had no children in his life. He found her in his old age and let her inherit the estate.
——Yes, it is such a dramatic and clichéd scene.
Jiang Shining lay there for a while, but no task appeared in her mind. Then she realized belatedly: she really completed the task and could enjoy her life now.
So, she no longer had to rush around, no longer had to worry about mission failure, no longer had to be careful at every step, and no longer had to be controlled by others? Jiang Shining was stunned for a moment, then couldn’t help laughing.
She got up from the bed and walked around her new home – the robot was quite discerning and directly bought a villa with a yard. The house had everything you could need, and the aesthetics and decoration style were what Jiang Shining liked.
Jiang Shining opened the cloakroom and saw a complete range of clothes hanging on three walls, from dresses to windbreakers. The shoes, jewelry and bags below also met her aesthetic tastes.
Just touch the fabrics and you could tell they were all big brands.
She saw a mirror behind the sliding door of the cloakroom out of the corner of her eye, so she walked over.
Jiang Shining was indeed concerned about how her appearance would be adjusted. She was not afraid of becoming ugly, but quite the opposite… For some reason, she had never doubted the robots that traveled through time and space in the past, because they were more like the relationship between soldiers and headquarters. But this time, she was worried for some reason.
If she was set to be too beautiful, she would be sure that the robot had set her up, because in reality, it was rare to see the kind of exaggeratedly beautiful beauties in TV dramas in real life. If she was given a stunning face, Jiang Shining would immediately realize that she was still placed in a book.
Therefore, the robots didn’t do it too obviously. They didn’t want Jiang Shining to find out right away… If Jiang Shining got mad and quit, in this world that was a combination of several badly-finished amateur novels, it would be hard to find a suitable candidate to travel through this world for a while.
Because the bad ending also meant that the future direction of this world was uncertain, the character’s personality foundation in the book was more unstable, and it was easier to go crazy in the future. Only an experienced book-crosser could handle the whole scene, and obviously, Jiang Shining was the best candidate.
They were all a little afraid that she could change her temper at any time, so they hoped to wait until Jiang Shining had spent some time happily in this ‘ordinary’ world without life-threatening dangers before slowly revealing it to her.
Therefore, when Jiang Shining looked in the mirror, her emotions were relatively stable.
It was true that she didn’t look like an ordinary girl, but it was not that exaggerated either.
The woman in the mirror seemed to be in her early twenties. As for her appearance, in order to prevent the book traveler from being too distracted by the audience’s poor reception, she was originally set up to have similarities with the book traveler herself, but her original facial features were refined and modified according to the needs of each world.
For example, when Jiang Shining was still the Imperial Noble Consort, her appearance was a high-end soft-light version of Jiang Shining who had undergone plastic surgery in Japan and then had it delicately modified.
Now, her eyes were almost 70% similar to those when she was the Imperial Concubine, with the tail of her eyes tilted up, giving her a peach blossom look. Of course, she still couldn’t reach the feeling of Imperial Concubine Xiao’s moving eyes, but Jiang Shining’s acting skills were excellent at that time, turning the deliberately exposed beauty into a feeling as if the beauty was unaware of it, as well as various strategies from the Art of War, which made the male protagonist, the emperor, fall in love with her.
It’s just that peach blossom eyes are beautiful, but in movies, overly beautiful peach blossom eyes always give people the feeling that this woman is extremely scheming or is bringing disaster to the country and the people.
At that time, it was the gentle temperament of Imperial Concubine Xiao that suppressed the charm of those eyes, and now it was Jiang Shining’s own aura that changed. After experiencing so many lives, even though she was only 23 years old when she first appeared, she encountered many things and became indifferent after experiencing them.
After so many performances, she was too lazy to smile on weekdays, so her temperament was indifferent and distant, as if she didn’t care about anything. In addition, her thin lips, which were very similar to those of her apocalyptic role, made her look not charming, but a little cold.
As for the rest, there was nothing special. She had a tall and delicate nose and fair skin, which were the standard features of a beauty – but after going through so many books, it seemed that this kind of delicate head and tail and appearance had become the standard. The protagonist or important characters would just have a different temperament, and her face could only be considered a little beauty.
Jiang Shining accepted it. After all, among the five characters, three were pretty and two were ordinary. Taking the current appearance into consideration, it seemed that the robot really did not do anything tricky.
However, a girl of this age should have just graduated from college, so she was a little immature and green, and this face was also like this, with a clean and pure feeling. But Jiang Shining’s eyes make her look calm, without the vigor of a young girl. She just fought with monsters all the way to the end of the doomsday, and her temperament was a little scary when she didn’t smile. So, she looked more like a female gangster who inherited her father’s business at a young age.
Jiang Shining moved the corners of her mouth and smiled at the mirror, and her bossy feeling immediately disappeared.
Well, that’s good.
Jiang Shining walked around the villa again, and finally she was relieved. Although this was the first time she had seen this villa, everything from the layout to the items was to her liking. It seemed that the robot was not lying. This identity was not any other female supporting role but was truly created for her.
Jiang Shining laughed at herself a little. There was nothing she could do. After traveling through so many worlds, she had become suspicious. She even suspected the person who gave her the task. She was simply hopeless.
After finishing her round of shopping, Jiang Shining leaned back on the soft sofa, humming a song happily. She had already made plans for the next twenty years – to be a rich person who squandered money outrageously, not making progress, not striving, but only eating, drinking and having fun.
Mmm, perfect!
In fact, after experiencing so many worlds, Jiang Shining missed the children she raised in those worlds the most. Although they were the children of the female supporting characters, they were all born or raised by her personally. In those cold and calculating worlds, she had to be careful of everyone, and only those children supported her. Her sons were fine, but she was especially worried about her daughter.
But…ah. She hoped that, as the robot said, she had changed the future of all the worlds for the best, and that they were all living well in their own worlds. Living was already so difficult, and it was not easy for them to be well apart from each other.
Jiang Shining’s personality made her not accustomed to falling into depression, so she quickly cheered herself up and went to the cloakroom to choose clothes.
She wanted to take a good look around the new city where she was going to live.
The new world and new city that the robot assigned to her looked similar to the city she had come from. The only difference was that she was a small town girl, and this city looked like a first-tier city. The biggest feature of this city called P City was that it was big. It seemed to be as big as two or three first-tier cities combined, so it was very prosperous.
Jiang Shining’s villa was located in a wealthy area, on the edge of the city, with good greenery, but it took about half an hour to drive to the central area. There was nothing else around, so Jiang Shining was quite satisfied.
Freedom, peace and money, what more could she choose?
Jiang Shining checked the properties under her name. She had four houses in the three best locations in P City, five in the neighboring super first-tier city Y City, and a beach villa in a coastal city. It seemed that there was no restriction on house purchases in this world.
Jiang Shining bought a studio in the city center so that she could live in a mansion when she wanted to be decadent and live here when she wanted to be an ordinary person. It was very convenient.
She liked to go out shopping for groceries every day and stock up on snacks at the supermarket. In addition to enjoying cooking every day, she also grew potted flowers, planted some grass, made tea every day, went out for a walk, and entered the stage of retirement early.
She was 23 years old when she started the mission, and now she was back in the body of a 23-year-old again, but her spirit seemed to be like that of an old person, who had experienced too many ups and downs, like an old cat, lazy and sluggish.
Although she spent almost all of her five lives repeating the youngest years of those supporting actresses, the latest time she died and left the world of the book was when she was only in her forties. Most of the time she spent her youth between the ages of fifteen and thirty-five, however, too much repetition in life had made her feel bored.
This was probably the boredom period after becoming the strongest player in the game and completing five high-difficulty dungeons.
She didn’t know if the robot deliberately placed her before the plot line began, but in any case, Jiang Shining spent a whole year living an ordinary person’s life in peace and stability.
A year later, Jiang Shining was sitting in her mansion. She put down the book in her hand, raised her head and looked out the French window. Workers were mowing the lawn and the sun was warm.
It seemed like a peaceful time.
Yes, this was what she pursued, an ordinary rich life…
Jiang Shining took a deep breath with a look full of vicissitudes in her eyes. A thought that had appeared frequently and been suppressed frequently in the past few months popped up in the mind of Jiang Shining, who was aspiring to be an idle rich woman.
Itchy hands.
I really want to hit someone.
Jiang Shining immediately stopped herself sternly in her mind.
Stop thinking! Jiang Shining! You must remember that you went into the book because you had no other choice. You are not such a barbaric person! Don’t think about it anymore!
…But this feeling of emptiness from wealth is so strong.
Itchy hands…
….
While Jiang Shining was persuading herself to be a good person, in the neighboring city Y, a black Maserati stopped downstairs of a magnificent company building.
In the back seat, the man in an expensive custom-made suit suddenly felt a chill behind him for some reason. His slender hand moved slightly, and the woman next to him immediately felt it.
“Jingrui, I…” The female companion Cheng Luoxun had a pretty face. At this moment, she bit her lips slightly, and her appearance became even more pitiful. She whispered, “I have retired for two years. I don’t know if I can still do it…”
Xiu Jingrui turned his head, put his arm around Cheng Luoxun, and said in a magnetic and low voice, “Go and talk to your agent with peace of mind. We will return to P City next week.”
“But, but – she is also in that city.” Cheng Luoxun said tremblingly and in a low voice.
Xiu Jingrui snorted coldly and hugged the poor little thing in his arms even tighter.
“Luo Luo, don’t forget that you are my woman, and you are pregnant with my child.” President Xiu said coldly, “While she is just a cheap woman who wants to fall in love with me by any means. Don’t worry, I will protect you, and I will see who dares to touch you!”
The author has something to say:
Heroine: Oh? (The smile gradually becomes abnormal)
Robot: @_@ If we had known you would get bored so quickly, we would have told you directly·
This kind of boss, um… I feel like the shelf life is not long.
An acquaintance will appear in the next chapter! Hehehe
