The situation was a bewildering mix of torment and amazement. Lin Qing found herself trapped within her own body, while another soul had taken possession of it.
However, now she had been transported back in time, before any of this had occurred. The girl who inhabited her body in her previous life was incredibly naive and had fallen victim to multiple scams and ended up making alot of problems to her family.
Now that Lin Qing had the chance to change the course of events, she knew she had to proceed with caution. What if fate had already determined that the girl would possess her once again, leading to something unchangable this time what if she and everyone she loves dies this time?
Mere thought of these sent shivers down her spine.
"No, no, no! That cannot be allowed to happen," she muttered to herself, determination burning in her eyes.
As Lin Qing pondered her next move, a mechanical voice echoed within her mind, interrupting her thoughts.
"System is ready to be bound to host,do you accept?"
"What is happening?" Lin Qing exclaimed in confusion. She couldn't believe that this was happening again.
A mechanical sound resonated, attempting to calm Lin Qing. "No, calm down, host. I am your system," it reassured her.
Doubt filled Lin Qing's mind. "My system? What exactly is a system?" she questioned.
The system, taken aback by her lack of knowledge, responded, "Isn't having a system to face-slap the fake protagonist a popular theme in novels?"
"I've never heard of such a thing," Lin Qing admitted, her skepticism evident.
Realization dawned upon the system. "Ah, I see. I bound myself to you in 2024, which is ten years into the future. But now, in 2014, it seems they've not become popular yet."
The system muttered to itself before addressing Lin Qing again. "Oh, host, I am System 000157. I am here to help you prevent another soul from possessing your body and and help you becoome the heroine of this world."
Confusion and curiosity filled Lin Qing's mind. "Huh? What do you mean?"
The system proceeded to show Lin Qing a series of stories and future events, far more than she had experienced during her time trapped in her previous life.
Everything suddenly clicked into place. The unbelievable nature of her experiences now made sense.
It turned out that the world she lived in was actually the setting of a novel, and that ghost girl had come from an interstellar world after reading a novel.
As Lin Qing absorbed the information, she discovered that her original role in this novel was that of the villainess. She would provoke the male lead and engage in confrontations with him. Not only that, but three prospective fiancés would also fight for her, and in the end, both the Su and Lin families would be ruined.
Indeed, there were three prospective fiancés. Lin Qing had witnessed this peculiar show.
In her previous life, the girl who possessed her body being presented with the opportunity to choose from three young masters of the Su family.
Even though that ghost was reluctant, she couldn't bring herself to reject the elders due to her weak ,meek personality.
The Su and Lin families had a betrothal promise that dated back almost a century.
Unfortunately, both families had only male heirs, until Lin Qing became the first girl born into the Lin family in four generations. On the other side, Elder Su of the Su family had three grandsons.
Su Haoran, the eldest young master of the Su family, embodied the cold and stoic CEO archetype. Su Huan, the third young master, was a flirtatious and youthful actor-type character. Meanwhile, the second young master of the Su family was a shy and asocial guy.
In Lin Qing's previous life, all three of these men had somehow fallen for that naive and foolish girl.
But she ofcourse didn't choose any of them at the end...
Since she felt like she was forced to get to know them, she only tolerated their presence and tried to be friends with these weird men but on other side she tried to find a way to dissolve the engagement as if it was a big thing.
If she could just outright reject this idea, none of her family would force her into a marriage she doesn't want.
But , nooo , she just had to plan for rejecting instead of just rejecting it.
This made Lin Qing perplexed. She really thought that girl had a problem with her brain.
In the end, though, she choose to be with that guy who crash into Lin Qing infront of karaoke bar– that despicable jerk!
That jerk was the catalyst behind the possession that had disrupted Lin Qing's life. She despised him even more than the annoying ghost who had taken control of her body.
Especially after delving into the original story, Lin Qing realized that enemies often cross paths on the narrowest of roads.
