Villainous Film Queen (1)
One-hearted world-saving little rich woman X Paranoid and gloomy revenging Film Queen
【Sun Wan1 never thought she would die here.】
【As she faded, she thought she heard a sigh. The last thing she saw was a slender figure slowly approaching…】
“The female lead is dead?”
Song Xuyi2 frowned, her eyes fixed on the last two paragraphs of the plot summary.
“Correct.”
The System’s3 furious voice echoed in her mind. “The female lead, Sun Wan, is dead. The villain, Zhao Qingyu4, has won a total victory. The world’s timeline has twisted so severely that the Main God5 has judged it a critical failure…”
“The Main God initiated a rollback, returning us to a time before any of this happened.”
“We both only get one chance,” the System said, its tone grave. “If we fail to protect the male and female leads and change the world’s outcome this time, the Main God will obliterate everyone in this world.”
“Including you, who are currently inside it…”
…
Song Xuyi pressed her lips together and opened her eyes.
She was in the middle of an examination hall. All around her, students were scribbling furiously with their pens. The vast room was silent except for the shh, shh, shh of pen tips scratching across paper.
Sprawled across her desk, fast asleep, Song Xuyi was the only anomaly in this race against time.
She glanced at the test paper, then at the clock on the blackboard, and saw that half an hour had already passed.
The System’s voice chimed in right on cue. “The glasses the Tasker6 is wearing are the latest technology developed by the Song Group7. They can bypass any signal jammer. Just tap the left frame three times, and the answers will be projected directly onto your retina…”
Song Xuyi froze for a second, her hand stopping midway to her glasses.
She had woken up in this body half an hour ago to find her memory completely gone. Before she could even get her bearings, the System had captured her full attention.
It told her that her name was Song Xuyi and that she was a Tasker for the small worlds8. She had lost her memories due to an unknown attack while entering this small world.
The System’s authority was limited. It couldn’t say if her memories would ever return, much less her identity or origins. All it knew was that the Tasker had to accept the Main God’s commission and, with the System’s help, save the small worlds that the Main God had judged to have ‘deviated from their timeline trajectory.’
The derailed timeline of this current world revolved around the female lead, Sun Wan, and the male lead, Song Jun9.
Sun Wan and Song Jun were a case of green plums and bamboo horse10; they grew up together. Sun Wan was infatuated with her neighborhood Gege11, Song Jun. However, Song Jun only had eyes for the villain, Zhao Qingyu. It was only after his pursuit of Zhao Qingyu failed that Song Jun finally noticed the neighborhood Meimei12 who had always been trailing behind him…
The two of them went through a series of melodramatic plots, from “willingly act as a substitute”13 to “heart turning to ash, will growing cold, running with the ball,”14 and finally to “chasing wife to the crematorium.”15 Just as they were about to reach the happy ending set by the Main God, the villain Zhao Qingyu suddenly interfered. She framed Song Jun’s company, forcing him to work himself to the bone every day to save it. Sun Wan, already insecure in their relationship, suspected Song Jun was having an affair. While tailing him, she tragically fell from a cliff and died at the bottom…
Sun Wan’s death caused the world’s timeline to collapse, which was why the Main God had sent Song Xuyi.
The Main God hadn’t treated her poorly. Although Song Xuyi’s body in this world was just a Passerby A16, her status was incredibly distinguished. She was the daughter of the main family of the Song Group, where Song Jun worked—a classic rich young lady born holding a golden spoon in her mouth17.
The Song family’s businesses spanned film, real estate, and technology, making them the undisputed number one financial conglomerate. For a family of such immense wealth, developing a pair of glasses for cheating on a test was hardly a difficult task.
Song Xuyi quickly snapped back to reality.
She pursed her lips, took off the glasses, and set them aside. Picking up her pen, she began scribbling calculations on the scratch paper…
Even though she had lost her past memories, a voice in her subconscious seemed to tell her: I have to be a person of integrity. Cheating crosses a moral line.
The System went silent for a moment, apparently not expecting Song Xuyi to choose to do the problems herself.
But it quickly spoke again. “To prevent deviation from your character profile, does the Tasker wish to receive the body’s memories now?”
“Let’s wait until tonight!”
Song Xuyi pressed her lips together and lowered her head to continue her calculations.
She found that she loved this feeling of immersive problem-solving. The test was very difficult for her, yet the moment she looked at the paper, it felt as if every cell in her body had been mobilized, focused on a single goal: to do well.
Is this related to my lost memories?
Soon, the bell signaling the end of the exam rang.
Along with the bell came the System’s anxious urging. “Warning! Warning! Song Jun has already returned to the country and is about to meet the villain, Zhao Qingyu!”
Song Xuyi handed in her test paper. Hearing the System’s words, she paused. Just then, the Song family’s driver walked in and began packing her books into her schoolbag. “Miss18, where are we going now?”
Song Xuyi glanced at the bag; there seemed to be some colorful things tucked between the books…
But now wasn’t the time to check.
Song Xuyi looked away. She mentally reviewed the plot summary again, and after a quick scan of the early events, she made a decision. “Let’s just head home early!”
The plot summary was only a thousand words long. It just said that Song Jun met Zhao Qingyu by accident and developed a favorable impression of her, gradually falling for her over successive encounters. But it never specified what kind of accident it was.
“How about we search around the city?” the System suggested.
“No need.” Song Xuyi shook her head and followed the driver into the car.
“Song Jun just got back to the country, so he’ll most likely choose to go home. The entire Song family lives in the southern part of the city, and there’s only one main road that leads there…”
The probability of running into Song Jun on the way home was much higher than wandering aimlessly through the city.
The System said no more, clearly persuaded by her logic.
It was rush hour, and traffic was crawling. As they reached an intersection, it began to rain.
The light turned red. The car stopped before the crosswalk. Song Xuyi gazed at the crowd crossing the street, her casual glance suddenly freezing on an elderly woman among them.
The old woman was empty-handed, carrying no umbrella. Her clothes looked simple and clean, but her eyes were unfocused. She walked with a slight stagger, a sign hanging around her neck, and she was muttering something under her breath…
The old woman quickly fell a good distance behind the others, just as the red light turned green.
Horns blared with sharp, impatient honks. The old woman’s body trembled, her expression terrified and panicked. She stumbled and began to run right into the middle of the traffic flow…
The System seemed to be saying something, but Song Xuyi couldn’t hear it anymore. A sharp pain shot through her head, and the image of another frail, staggering figure flashed through her mind. She acted on pure instinct, twisting the door handle to chase after her.
—But someone else was faster.
The back door of a small car up ahead opened, and a woman with a slender and graceful figure stepped out. She wore a simple red slip dress, revealing slender, snow-white arms and calves. The thin high heels on her feet didn’t impede her steps in the slightest. Holding a black umbrella, she moved with a hurried yet swaying grace. Her back alone was enough to inspire a thousand fantasies…
The woman quickly reached the old lady’s side. Song Xuyi, a step too slow, let out a sigh of relief. She took the umbrella her driver handed her and was about to go help when she saw the old woman’s eyes widen in terror as she let out a piercing scream. “A ghost! A ghost…”
The old woman shrieked and shoved the woman backward—
Song Xuyi’s pupils contracted. She instinctively lunged forward and caught the staggering woman.
“Thank you, Xuyi.”
The woman steadied herself with Song Xuyi’s help and turned to look at her. Her voice was beautiful, like a songbird’s, and when she said Song Xuyi’s name, it somehow took on a lingering, tender quality.
Song Xuyi’s face flushed red.
This feeling… it’s so strange!
Meeting the smile in the woman’s eyes, looking at that flawless, moon-bright, beautiful face, Song Xuyi’s breath caught in her throat. It felt as if a frantic deer had suddenly been trapped in her chest, its hooves beating a wild thump-thump-thump that threatened to burst out…
“It’s good you’re okay.”
Song Xuyi heard her own voice come out dry and raspy. Her gaze fell to the corner of the woman’s eye. There, just below the outer corner, was a tiny red mole, like a lone flower petal fallen on snow. It added an indescribable charm to her otherwise perfect face.
Is this the female lead, Sun Wan?
Song Xuyi took a deep breath, trying to calm her runaway heart.
The plot summary said the female lead had a red mole at the corner of her eye. And since Sun Wan was always following Song Jun, she would naturally recognize Song Xuyi from the main family of the Song Group…
It was just that the summary only mentioned Sun Wan’s kind and righteous personality. Song Xuyi never expected her to be this beautiful.
“If you have something to do, you should go.”
Since she hadn’t received this body’s memories yet, Song Xuyi didn’t dare interact with the woman any further. After helping her stand steady, she let go, her gaze shifting to the old woman, who the driver had now led to the side of the road. “I’ll take her home…”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you!”
The woman smiled at Song Xuyi. Her gaze lingered on Song Xuyi’s face for a moment, her expression dimming slightly, before following Song Xuyi’s line of sight to the old woman. Meeting the old woman’s fearful, evasive, and guilty eyes, the woman’s lips curved, her smile growing even more brilliant and radiant.
The woman seemed to be in a genuine hurry. Without much more small talk, she quickly returned to her car.
Song Xuyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She didn’t know why, but perhaps it was the woman’s dazzling beauty. Even though she seemed gentle and kind, standing next to her made Song Xuyi feel inexplicably nervous…
“Don’t panic, ma’am. Your family will be here soon…”
Song Xuyi collected herself and forced a smile to soothe the old woman, who clearly had symptoms of Alzheimer’s and had forgotten her past. At the same time, she listened as the driver called the contact on the old woman’s sign. When she heard the cold male voice on the other end say, “This is her grandson, Song Jun. Where are you now?” Song Xuyi’s smile gradually froze…
A thought flashed through her mind, and her body went rigid. She subconsciously glanced in the direction the woman’s car had gone, and the System’s next words in her head only served to confirm her suspicion…
“The Tasker is amazing! You interrupted Song Jun and Zhao Qingyu’s first meeting right off the bat!”
The System’s voice was filled with admiration.
Song Xuyi was stunned for a moment, then managed a stiff twitch of her lips.
Suddenly, she had no idea what kind of expression she was supposed to be making.
Who could have guessed? This gentle, radiant, and helpful beauty wasn’t the female lead, Sun Wan, but the story’s scheming villain, Zhao Qingyu—the one who secretly framed the male lead Song Jun’s company and indirectly caused the female lead Sun Wan to fall off a cliff!
Only then did Song Xuyi belatedly recall that the plot summary said Song Jun suddenly noticed Sun Wan because she was “three parts similar” to Zhao Qingyu. Now, Song Xuyi understood—that similarity was probably because both women had a red mole at the corner of their eye.
And the character profile for the body she now occupied was that of a brain-damaged fan19 of Zhao Qingyu, someone who had been obsessively following her since she first debuted…
Remembering her behavior in front of Zhao Qingyu, a chill went down Song Xuyi’s spine. Did Zhao Qingyu notice something was off?
