Married to his secret crush

Chapter 5 - Mysterious Flash

Han Mei stared at the face which was supposed to be hers in utter shock.

"Not…Not me.." She mumbled under her breath.

The girl in the reflection would be almost triple her size, skin as fair as jade but her face seemed to have all kinds of blemishes, pimples, and acne marks making her appear somewhat hideous.

Long hair that reached her waist and a pink night suit making her appear like a big circle, or more like an enormous rice cake.

Eyes that seemed as innocent as a doe yet dull while her lip seemed to be somewhat pale, due to the weakness.

Han Mei raised her left hand towards her cheek, her fingers shivered, she wondered if it was because of the cold or shock.

Her fingers slowly stroked her cheeks, but the feeling was not smooth, the skin felt bumpy.

She knew it. It was not her but then why…

Her thoughts were interrupted as she felt a splitting headache. Everything seemed to be blurred in an instant.

"Miss Yu. Are you fine?"

"She needs some rest since she just woke up..."

Han Mei could hear those voices but she barely had any strength left as she was still holding onto her head.

The pain seemed to be never-ending as various strange memories drifted towards her mind leading to an onslaught of memories in an instant.

Unbeknownst to her, there was a tiny flash right above her chest.

It was barely noticeable, like an illusion but it was far from that as it did something strange to her.

Her currently ordinary-looking eyes turned starry, just as Han Mei's real eyes.

"Miss Yu…"

The voices seemed to be slowly shutting themselves in the background.

She fell into a deep slumber before anyone could notice her abnormal changes.

…

Sunlight peeked through the window of the grand princess room, the sun rays seemed to be stroking the girl sleeping on the bed as she squinted.

Her long eyelashes fluttered open as she covered her eyes trying to adjust to the glaring brightness of the surroundings.

Suddenly reminded of something, she opened her eyes and glanced at the room. Everything was pink, in loud shades.

"So, it was not a dream after all," Han Mei, now Yu Mei Zhen softly as she tried to get up from the bed but gods seemed to be teasing her as she bounced back like a rice dumpling, her head hitting the pillow.

She speechlessly glanced at the ceiling before raising her hands which could be mistaken as a person's leg.

Is there a reset button?

She suddenly thought if she could get to select her body for transmigration.

Sigh...In the end, it was just her wishful thought.

She supported her body with her elbow pressed on the pillow as she dragged herself out of the bed.

Her steps staggered due to weakness yet she persisted as she held onto the bedside table before picking up the glass of water and gulped it down. Her parched throat seemed to be relieved in an instant.

The large mirror was still in the same place as yesterday, and it compelled her to walk towards it.

"Yu Mei Zhen…" she murmured the name which was now hers.

Compared to yesterday when she snapped at the Steward for calling her name wrongly, she seemed to have regained her composure.

Yu Mei Zhen was the illegitimate daughter of the Yu Family. Being the daughter of an upper-class family required her to be a top socialite despite her status in the family.

But Yu Mei Zhen was exactly the opposite of that. Being fat, ugly, and zero when it came to studies, she was frowned upon by society which led her to disgrace the Yu Family, again and again, ultimately incurring her father's wrath.

But the girl was stubborn, she stubbornly craved for the family's affection, for which she was ready to go to any extent.

She despised her biological mother for being a mistress, sided with the legal wife of her father, who happened to be her stepmother.

She ignored her biological brother while trying to get closer to her half-siblings.

Everything seemed to be going well until her mother passed away a year ago from a brain stroke and the reality of the slap seemed to be too harsh when Yu Mei Zhen came to know the truth of her so-called beloved family.

They never cared for her.

But she somehow did not hate them even after everything they did.

But it was another thing that they refused to accept her after getting what they wanted and she was thrown out of the house.

"Miss Yu, you are awake," Yu Mei turned around to look at the female servant standing at the door. She was so lost in her thoughts that she somehow did not notice her presence.

"Is there anything?" she asked softly noticing the woman's hesitation.

She could feel that the servant wasn't that particularly polite towards her but she did not point it out.

It wasn't like she was going to stay in this villa for long.

"Erm…Master is waiting for you downstairs. You should hurry up and…"

"When did he come?" Yu Mei interrupted the girl from speaking any further.

Like yesterday, she did not seem to be confused upon hearing the mention of this so-called Master.

But her eyes seemed to a little eagerness and curiosity at the mention of his name, it was as if she was meeting an old acquaintance.
