Chapter 2 - Bam! Starting out as a mother. How exciting! (2)

Shu Yan opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling above. Just because she stayed up a little late reading novels last night, she had transmigrated?

Speaking of the novel, Shu Yan’s spirit was a little more uplifted. The parents of the original female lead seemed to be Ye Zhiqiang and Li Jiaojiao, the name of the original owner’s ex and his new lover. And, the original owner’s children’s names were Ye Jingjing and Ye Tianbao, the names of the primary cannon fodders in the novel. Most importantly, there was a cannon fodder, Shu Yan, who never even appeared in the book. As her name was the same as hers, she paid particular attention to that portion of the book.

The female lead of the novel, Ye Ranran, was the daughter of Ye Zhiqiang and Li Jiaojiao. She has two half siblings, the ones from Ye Zhiqiang and his ex-wife – Ye Jingjing and Ye Tianbao. The ex-wife gained custody of them during the divorce. Their mother died in a car accident when they were both very young. The two of them grew up with their maternal grandmother and their days weren’t too happy. As such, they hated the female lead so much that they have decided to set her up but, unfortunately, they were annihilated by the male lead who got there just in time to save the female lead.

Ye Jingjing and Ye Tianbao appeared in a total of five chapters in the book. The name Shu Yan was only mentioned once by Ye Jingjing. These weren’t enough to support that she had transmigrated but if you added in the names of the female lead’s grandparents and uncles, then this was unmistakably the novel that she was reading last night.

So... she had transmigrated into a novel?

Not as the female lead, or the female supporting characters, but as the mother of the female cannon fodder. Someone who showed up only once and was already dead.

Now that she has become the Shu Yan in the book, wasn’t the death of the original owner analogous to the death of her?

Would she be able to return to her own world if she died?

Shu Yan had a common life. She was born in a small town, and her parents owned a fruit shop. She has a younger brother that was seven years younger than her. They hadn’t been spending as much time together as they used to after he had left for college, but the two of them were quite close. She had originally returned to her hometown after college to seek work.

Her initial plan was some sort of a government job but she finally started to buckle under the pressure from her family to get married. So, she packed her bags and moved back to the town she went to college. She was still single at 30. This wasn’t because she wasn’t able to find someone, but because she didn’t want to compromise.

All her friends had gotten married and had kids. Their center of attention had shifted to their families, and Shu Yan had less and less in common with them. She had become progressively nerdier as she spent less time with her friends. Her everyday entertainment was to watch some shows online and read some novels. She didn’t think reading a novel would lead to transmigration. Sure, she grumbled about her life from time to time, but she never wanted to become someone else.

How sad would her parents be when they found out that she was dead? For reasons that she couldn’t explain, she knew that she was dead in her original world. The feeling was very strong, and a strong sense of sadness washed over her. Tears started to stream down her cheeks. Her only comfort was that she still has a younger brother who would be there to take care of their parents.

Going back was probably not an option; she didn’t have the guts to kill herself. So what other choice did she have other than to live her life here?
