What confused Changying the moment she woke up was that she woke up. How?! She had died earlier, she was pretty sure. Had she been saved somehow?
No, that would have needed a miracle for it to be the case. Her vision was blurry, a sure sign that she had just woken up.
When her vision finally cleared, she couldn't recognize the room she was in. Why was it all such boring colors?! And this bed was much larger than her full size mattress at home, who's house was this exactly? She laid in the bed for about thirty more minutes before she finally got up. The first thing she noticed, was that her head felt heavier, as if she were carrying books on her head but with no need to balance. There were three doors in her room, one led to a closet and after finding the other led to a hallway, she simply opened the other door to find a rather large bathroom! That's not a tub, that's a small pool, okay? Home owner, practice some restraint, you make this sister worried, ah!
She, justifiably, stayed away from the large tub. It was rather deep, and she had just gone through a terrible experience with water moments before. Was it moments before? She couldn't tell how long she had been out, really. Turning to face the sink, she splashed water on her face to get rid of any lingering tiredness. When she looked up at the mirror she paused and froze, eyes widening. This! This was not her face! What happened to her Dark eyes and olive skin?! Who was this rosy lipped lady staring at her?! This pale lady with such delicate features couldn't be her, where was her strong bones, Ah?! Such a small wrist was no good to hold her phone all night! Panic began to set in as it dawned on her that this might not be her body.
What sadistic god brought her back to life?! Where was her gentle life in the afterlife, ah?! She didn't want to be reincarnated! Her tormented thoughts were paid no mind said god, or anyone for that matter. As her door was pushed open and she could hear footsteps approaching the bathroom door.
"Young miss? Young miss, the master is asking for you." The voice was female, and held obvious adoration for whoever this original body was.
Young Miss?! No! Changying didn't want to be dragged into the chaotic life of some random young Miss! How could someone like her handle that sort of responsibility!
"Young Miss? Come now, the Master won't mind you being in your pajamas." The woman said again, the doorknob began to turn, "Young Miss, I'm coming inside." She said.
The young woman who stepped in had gentle eyes and hair cut short just above her shoulders. The dress she wore had an apron over it, so she was a maid. Or at least, Changying assumed she was. She didn't get to ask any questions as she was suddenly shuffled out of the room and down the hall with a sense of urgency. Hey! You called me your Young Miss just now, didn't you?! Why are you pushing me along like cattle?! The home was a lot larger than she expected, and the marble floor was chilling to her feet!
They passed several rooms and reached a study at some point. In the study there sat a man behind a desk, his fingers interlaced in front of his face and a calculative glint in his eyes. Changying shuddered, this man seemed dangerous!
"Mei Li, just how long were you planning on making me wait for you? You asked for this chance but then don't even show up! You said you wanted to go to K Highschool, don't make me change my mind about allowing it." The man said, his tone showing that he believed this K Highschool to be ridiculous or some other.
Was this body called Mei Li, then? It sounded so familiar...
Eh? Really?! Highschool? She didn't want to go through Highschool again! "Eh, about that, since you're against it, I can just not go-!" The man slammed his palms on the table, clearly angry.
"Not go?! You bothered me about this all summer and now you dare say you won't go?! Mei Li, you better watch your next words or I'll beat you blue!" The man yelled, practically spitting blood at her. He sent her out of his study, still cursing even after the door was closed. Changying walked, no, ran back to her room, feeling horribly wronged.
Hateful! So hateful, she was just trying to give him what he wanted, why were people so quick to show an attitude? All because of K Highschool...Ah! K Highschool?!
Mei Li?! K Highschool?! No way!
Had she transmigrated?! But where was her system then?! What about her cheats?! No! Why couldn't she just have died regularly?! She didn't want to face all the problems that Mei Li had to go through!
From what she remembered in her past life, Mei Li was the main rival of the protagonist Lihua in the book Falling in Love With Someone Like You. Lihua was a lower-income girl with a bubbly attitude, but she was also very stubborn. She had transferred into K Highschool through scholarship, and since she had no money, was ultimately ignored. Through a series of cliches she met the male leads, yes, plural. One such lead was Zhang Wei, a young master that the original body had a crush on. He was the whole reason Mei Li had gone to K Highschool for senior year, but his personality was terrible! When Mei Li was nice to him she would be totally ignored and looked at with disdain! Then when he liked Lihua, he practically forced himself on her! This kind of guy was a male lead?! Shameless!! Totally shameless!!
...
Anyway, when Mei Li found out about Lihua being so close to Zhang Wei, she began bullying the girl, and others followed her example. Blah blah blah, bullying is found out, Mei Li is expelled. That would have been fine and all, if Mei Li hadn't gone completely insane and tried to murder Lihua! In public! Mei Li was a stupid villainess, you already got off lightly before, why would you escalate your violence for a man who's not even worth the effort?! Her plan got found out in the end and Zhang Wei and the rest of Lihua's harem orchestrated a plan that left Mei Li's family in debt and made it to where she had to pay it off with her body to a bunch of nasty old men...
No way! That definitely can't happen! I want to live a nice , slow life, so why am I in the body of this dummy instead of somebody with no ties to the main story?!
Ah...Well if I don't get involved then nothing bad can happen to me in the end, right?
