Chapter 1: Remarriage (Part 1)
Liu Fuyi slightly frowned, hesitating: "I remember your nickname is 'Miaomiao'..."
Liu Fuyi stood tall and graceful, facing away from her. This person appeared to be much more relaxed, as the edges of the white garment he often wore were still visible beneath the celebratory robe, which he had casually thrown on over it.
However, matters of marriage are commonplace, and a prolonged cessation is not a solution. Originally, Ling Lushan, the head of Taicang County, who did not believe in ghosts and deities, endured three days of distress with his large belly. In the end, unable to withstand the widespread announcements, he began to seek out talented and extraordinary individuals.
For a time, no one in Taicang County dared to hold a wedding celebration
In her youth, Ling Miaomiao was deceived by the melodramatic tales of love and loss, shedding many tears. Ten years later, for the sake of nostalgia, she stayed up late to reread "Floating Boat," only to be met with exclamations of "What the heck" from her bed in the dormitory during the late hours of the night
She was married twice in her lifetime. The first time was a staged wedding with the man she had longed for, Liu Fuyi, which was arranged at his invitation. Before she could even indulge in the moment, her brief dream was shattered.
Others regard this as a trivial play, yet the original self is stirred to the point of sleepless nights
As a pawn, Ling Yu's fate is naturally not much better, and the path of emotions is particularly fraught with difficulties
Ling Miaomiao sighed: Without the fate of a female lead, one simply lacks the fate of a female lead, as can be seen from one's features.
However, her bad behavior is not so typical. She is accustomed to adopting the role of a victim, repaying kindness with enmity, stabbing others in the back, while also putting on a pitiful facade.
A head of soft long hair is neatly styled up, adorned with a golden phoenix headdress, from which a pearl is held in the beak of the phoenix, hanging down on the smooth forehead
At the age of sixteen, Ling Yu has not yet been promised to a suitor. By day, she behaves normally, but at night, she always dresses up, donning bridal attire as if preparing for marriage. In the empty grand hall, she worships the heavens and the earth with the air, as if she has been possessed by some spirit.
The fox demon originally intended to absorb the essence of humans, but was forced to reveal its true form, with a hideous appearance and sharp claws. With a loud roar, it lunged towards the defenseless Mu Yao.
There are no flowers left in the garden
If inciting the reader's anger can be considered a success, then the character Ling Yu, the third female lead, should be regarded as the most successful character in the entire book
Miao Miao responded with a sound, hurriedly dabbed some rouge and smeared it on her lips, and walked out while holding onto the damp sleeve of her maid
Very well, the male protagonist takes the lead and reminds her to perform the entire act.
Miao Miao looked into Liu Fuyi's eyes and read a clear expectation within them
Although Taicang County is small, it is exceedingly wealthy. The prosperous Taicang area has a large population, and outsiders are eager to settle down here, striving to make a home for themselves.
"Oh—" Ling Miaomiao elongated her tone, clearly displeased that Ling Yu shared the same name as her. "It is Miaomiao, indeed... When you suddenly called me like that, I didn't react in time."
Ling Yu is as thin as a bean sprout, accustomed to hunching over with her chest down and head lowered, her shoulders slumped forward, giving her a somewhat timid appearance
She has the appearance of a delicate beauty. If only her bright, watery eyes were a bit closer together, she might have been able to charm others with her captivating gaze, following a path of seduction that could lead to chaos and ruin. Unfortunately, Ling Yu's eye distance is slightly wider, giving off an impression of gentleness without aggression. Even when her eyes bulge like a fighting chicken's, she still exudes a sense of pitiful vulnerability.
The original text states that Liu Fuyi has a frail body, which results in a slender figure and a complexion that is always pale; however, this also imparts a hint of ethereal grace.
For the second time, she married Mu Sheng, the younger brother of the female lead Mu Yao
In this era, the traversal between parallel worlds has become commonplace, and any random occurrence in life could potentially trigger a journey through multidimensional space. The reason why Ling Miaomiao stepped into Ling Yu's world is entirely due to her writing a passionate book review in the middle of the night.
The maid, holding an umbrella, stood at the door, the hem of her dress dripping with rainwater. She trembled as she spoke, resembling a little chick: "Miss, the auspicious time has arrived"
Miao Miao straightened her back with effort, glancing sideways at the mirror, where she saw a frowning and impatient face, which startled her into immediately relaxing her brow—perhaps it was her preconceived negative impression of Ling Yu that made her dislike this body as well, which was truly unwarranted
If the villainess is a proud and imposing tiger, she is also the rat gnawing on people's toes in the shadows, or the weevil pilfering from the rice barrel.
The well-trained demon catcher Mu Yao calmly engaged in a fierce battle. At this moment, Liu Fuyi picked up the victim Ling Yu from the ground, descending like a great hero stepping on clouds, rescuing him from the dreamlike illusion
This marriage is, in essence, a scheme
Liu Fuyi spoke: "Miao Miao."
She stroked her slender chin, slightly furrowing her brow
The maid took half a step back in fright, and Miao Miao looked at her precarious state, feeling somewhat reluctant: "You may go down, I will enter by myself..."
The maid took a step back and, feeling utterly exhausted, sat down in the puddle.
The smile spread, but that snow-white face suddenly froze, transforming in an instant into a lifeless mask. In the next moment, the muscles on the face began to show subtle movements—the smile gradually faded away
She is bad
The male protagonist's sweet nothings leave one feeling utterly weak at the knees
"Fu Yi." She obediently called out, seeing a look of relief flash in Liu Fu Yi's eyes as she walked towards her
The details in the book are somewhat forgotten. Ling Miaomiao encouraged herself in her heart and gently pushed open the door
Liu Fuyi stood by, and at the moment when Ling Yu entered the bridal chamber alone, he summoned the Nine Mysterious Demon-Subduing Tower, instantly forcing the fox demon attached to Ling Yu to reveal its true form
Except for widows, no one would get married at night. Even widows would not choose such a stormy night for a wedding
He is warm and amiable, yet there is an enduring melancholy between his brows
The night is as dark as ink, and the rumbling thunder resembles the roar of a wild beast. With flashes of lightning and the sound of torrential rain, the clattering noise is akin to a thousand galloping horses. One need not think to know that those flowers without shelter have already been battered by the rain, leaving a ground strewn with remnants of red.
The door creaked open with a sound.
Ling Miaomiao stood up, the bright red wedding gown fell to the ground, and her figure was faintly reflected in the bronze mirror.
Today is my day of great joy
The male protagonist Liu Fuyi and the female protagonist Mu Yao from the original book traveled here and unhesitatingly decided to stay and eliminate the harm for the people
During the days of capturing demons, they resided in the governor's mansion, which was originally the home of the former owner, Ling Yu
Liu Fuyi turned around upon hearing the sound, and indeed, it was a face as beautiful as a painting.
Mu Yao and Liu Fu Yi settled in Taicang one month ago
Liu Fuyi smiled slightly: "Today is a day of great joy for both of us, so we should address each other more intimately"
Her bony fingers, thin to the point of protrusion, caressed the withered petals. She thought to herself, no matter how hurried it may be, it must still be somewhat festive
... ... Hmm. The maid pressed closely to Miaomiao's side, her voice trembling with a cry, "Miss, aren't you afraid ... ... That ... ... it's so scary ... ..."
This book is the transformative fantasy masterpiece "Catching Demons" by the queen of melodramatic romance, Fu Zhou, who claims to have made a "glorious return after ten years"
The girl in the red dress sits in front of the dressing table
On the third day after the arrival of the main characters, the monster voluntarily came to their door
In the foolishly dreamy eyes, a light of curiosity and calmness emerges
The door creaked open a crack
Along the winding corridor, there was silence all the way, and Miao Miao, seeking to break the silence, asked: "Did you see it?"
Miao Miao trembled in fear and said: "What did you call me?"
The person in the mirror smiled faintly
Miao Miao was a bit unhappy, snatching the handle of the umbrella, and the large umbrella was securely placed over the maid's head
Ling Miaomiao sat at an angle, carefully examining the appearance of the person in the mirror: a pale face, slender eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, thin lips, and a pointed, delicate chin
This peculiar aura evoked a visceral aversion in Ling Miaomiao; in contrast, she found the second female lead, the willful and openly wicked Duan Yang Dijie, to be much more endearing.
A large red camellia was also pinned at an angle in her hair, which was styled up. The edges of the petals were somewhat withered; it was not freshly picked from the garden, but rather a flower hastily plucked from a vase in the afternoon.
However, since last month, several newlywed couples have mysteriously disappeared before entering their bridal chambers. Rumors have circulated that a monster has been sighted, and the gossip has spread, causing panic to sweep through this small town.
A trace of doubt suddenly flashed through her mind: "Wait a minute!"
The face of the young maid was ashen, and her hands were trembling slightly, clearly terrified to the utmost degree
While she enjoyed the protection of the main characters, she pondered how to undermine them, like the damp and green moss growing in the crevices of the wall, wet, gloomy, and impossible to shake off
This character is gloomy and timid from beginning to end. She admires the male lead but does not dare to compete directly with the female lead. Apart from obsessively fantasizing about winning the male lead's affection, she secretly stirs discord and plots against the female lead.
Ling Yu lay in his arms, experiencing for the first time the sensation of a racing heartbeat
Ling Miaomiao, in her anger, took up her pen to write a book review. Before writing, she sincerely chose a representative character as her entry point.
The oiled paper umbrella could hardly withstand such intense rain, as the raindrops converged into a stream, flowing down from the edge of the umbrella like a small brook. The young maid holding the umbrella trembled, and with each tremor, some of the rainwater splashed onto Miaomiao's delicate festive attire, and before long, a patch on her shoulder was soaked.
She glanced at Liu Fuyi twice and then lost interest. The author has established that he belongs to Mu Yao, and regardless of how gentle he is with others, no story will unfold.
What a transformative masterpiece, beneath the surface of the monster-catching world, it is still that familiar flavor! I enjoy the three women competing wits against the male protagonist, I appreciate the male second lead's unrequited love for the female protagonist, the misunderstandings between the male and female leads are numerous, and a pair of young lovebirds are entangled in schemes and calculations, their relationship is as tangled as a ball of yarn
In a hurried manner, the wedding was organized, and the wedding dress was borrowed from an unknown source, proving to be ill-fitting. A delicate silver pin was used to cinch the waist, while the wide sleeves covered the hands, causing the garment to clank as it was worn. The gold thread embroidery on the dress was hidden within the folds, rendering the details indistinguishable
Ling Yu is too thin, so thin that it is uncomfortable. Throughout history, it has been said that only women who are somewhat plump are fortunate. According to the superstitions of the older generation, this face is a sign of short fortune and a short life.
This should be the occasion when Liu Fuyi invited Ling Yu to impersonate a bride, with the aim of luring out a great demon
It became entangled with the beloved jewel of the county magistrate, Ling Yu
When Ling Miaomiao read about this clichéd setting, she thought to herself that such a man, both approachable and abstinent, both affable and mysterious, is indeed the type that captivates girls the most.
