Ye Zhi gripped her phone, sitting up from the bed in a fit of anger. Outside, lightning crackled, but it couldn't compare to the fury raging within her.
She had simply wanted to find a light, mindless, sweet webnovel to relax with, but how had she ended up picking a story that masked a story of physical and emotional abuse with a sweet romance?
Even that wasn't the worst part. The key issue was that the female lead, Ye Qin Ya, wasn't just obsessed with romance; she was also a naive, saintly white lotus! Her sainthood had reached "Bodhisattva-level," the kind that would blind anyone who looked at her. With these two debuffs stacked together, one could only imagine how outrageous the female lead's actions were!
The male lead, Ou Ming Han, not only bankrupted the Bai family through scheming and deceit, but he also hired someone to hit the female lead's father, leaving him paralyzed. To gather money for medical expenses, the female lead's mother took on various odd jobs. The male lead then lured her into his company and hired a group of people to bully her daily, forcing her to do dirty and strenuous work. As for the female lead's younger brother, he was also manipulated by the male lead into becoming addicted to drugs, making his life worse than death.
As for Ye Qin Ya herself, she was imprisoned and humiliated by Ou Ming Han. Furthermore, whenever a female supporting character instigated trouble, the male lead would directly resort to domestic violence, with slapping being considered a gentle approach.
Yet, this "Bodhisattva-level" female lead not only forgave those who harmed her each time, but she even stubbornly believed that the male lead, who had committed countless crimes and destroyed her family, possessed an inner goodness. She was determined to use her love to influence him and heal his hatred. It was truly a case of the male lead abusing her a thousand times, and she treating him like her first love.
Ye Zhi's blood pressure surged as she read, so she skipped chapters to see the ending.
The ending was even more outrageous. The female lead's entire family was killed by the male lead. The male lead then knelt and begged for the female lead's forgiveness. After a series of cliché events involving car crashes, cancer, and pregnant elopements, she concluded that since her family was gone, hatred should not continue. Moreover, she believed she and the male lead were truly in love, and even her family, if alive, would have blessed her. Her punishment for the male lead was to make him be good to her for the rest of his life. Thus, she contentedly lived happily ever after with the male lead.
Ye Zhi's mood could only be described with an exasperated idiom. If the female lead were in front of her, Ye Zhi would have loved to punch her twice, but she worried the female lead might enjoy it.
"What kind of garbage plot and idiotic female lead is this? This makes me so mad!" Ye Zhi cursed out loud, dissatisfied. "If she were my family, I'd definitely show her what family education is all about!"
A flash of white light, followed by a bolt of lightning, then a rumbling thunderclap.
…
Ye Zhi opened her eyes with a sense of despair. The memories that suddenly flooded her mind made her understand her current situation.
Yes, she had been struck by lightning and transmigrated, into the body of Ye Qin Ya's own older sister.
According to her memories, this sister of the Ye family, who had suddenly appeared, was sent abroad to study in high school and had only returned to the country now.
Ye Zhi was utterly dumbfounded!
She had only made a casual complaint; she hadn't actually wanted to become the female lead's family! After all, how much bad karma must one have accumulated in their past life to be unfortunate enough to become the female lead's family?
Moreover, besides the female lead, who was a pig teammate, there was also a ruthless male lead coveting the Ye family! That guy's methods were dark and poisonous, and she was now tied to the Ye family's fate. How could the male lead possibly let her go?
However, she was currently on a plane returning home, and the plane had just landed. The Ye family was waiting at the airport to pick her up. She had no chance to turn back and run.
While Ye Zhi was still troubled, a good-looking flight attendant approached with a smile. "Madam, the plane has landed safely at Daxing Airport. You may disembark. Is there anything else you need assistance with?"
"No, thank you." Seeing the flight attendant ushering her along, Ye Zhi smiled politely, picked up her small suitcase, and got off the plane.
She made her way to the airport lobby and saw the Ye family members from afar.
Standing in the center were her parents, Ye Yong Xian and Liu Ling Yu. Ye Yong Xian looked energetic, and Liu Ling Yu was well-preserved, with smooth skin. Neither of them looked like they were over fifty.
To their right stood the youngest son of the Ye family, Ye Yu Zhe. He was seventeen years old, in his second year of high school, dressed in trendy clothes. He appeared rebellious yet full of youthful energy. He secretly glanced at Ye Zhi, his eyes filled with curiosity.
The thought of the three of them later being tragically harmed by the male lead made Ye Zhi want to curse the scumbag.
Pushing her thoughts aside, Ye Zhi looked to their left, where her younger sister stood, the saintly Mary Sue and romance-obsessed female lead, Ye Qin Ya.
Ye Qin Ya was wearing a white dress, standing demurely with a gentle smile on her face.
Ye Zhi's eyebrows raised. She didn't look like someone brainless!
Without further thought, Ye Zhi strode towards them.
"Dad, Mom, Qin Ya, Yu Zhe, I'm back," Ye Zhi greeted them with a smile.
"It's good that you're back, good that you're back." Ye Yong Xian and Liu Ling Yu happily embraced her. Ye Yong Xian took her suitcase and handed it to Ye Yu Zhe.
Ye Yu Zhe pouted reluctantly. Just as he was about to say something, Ye Yong Xian shot him a stern glance, and he had no choice but to carry the suitcase grudgingly.
After the greetings, Ye Yu Zhe's gaze towards Ye Zhi was no longer distant, but held more warmth. Ye Zhi also observed Ye Qin Ya. At least her sister seemed like a normal person; how could she have done so many foolish things?
"Alright, alright, let's go home first." Ye Yong Xian cheerfully took her hand, and they headed towards the parking lot together.
They arrived at a Maybach minivan. The driver hurried to open the trunk and help Ye Yu Zhe load the suitcase.
Ye Zhi frowned, looking at the car. "Dad, where's your favorite Toyota minivan?"
"Big Sister, this is a infuriating story!" Ye Yu Zhe said indignantly. "Last time, when Second Sister was riding in the car, Zhang Dan Ni directly crashed our car, and Second Sister almost got hurt! Dad sent the car for repairs, and even more infuriatingly, that woman Zhang Dan Ni refused to pay, and Second Sister didn't want to pursue it..."
"Yu Zhe, please don't say that," Ye Qin Ya interrupted him from the side. "Qin Ya didn't do it on purpose. She just learned to drive and isn't very skilled. It was just an accident. If we pursue it, wouldn't it have a bad impact on Zhang Dan Ni? Besides, our car has insurance, and our family is very wealthy. Why should we make her pay?"
Ye Zhi gasped, her breath catching. At this moment, Ye Qin Ya seemed to exude saintly radiance from head to toe, almost blinding her!
Unable to bear it any longer, Ye Zhi raised her hand and, seizing the moment, slapped Ye Qin Ya squarely across the face!
