Sunny day at Wang Family's mansion in Spring River Town...
A beautiful woman clad in a luxurious red robe was sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the beautiful flower garden.
Unfortunately, her angry expression ruined her beautiful face.
The beautiful woman swept the teacup and teapot angrily until they fell to the ground.
PRAAAAAAANG~!
The teacup and teapot shattered to pieces when they hit the ground, and the hot tea splashed everywhere on the ground.
"GYAAAAA~!" Several maids screamed in fright, but they did not dare to complain and immediately kneeled in fear to the beautiful woman.
Only a small maid who stood behind the beautiful woman still remained expressionless and indifferent.
The other several frightened maids could not help but feel impressed by this small maid's courage.
However, no one had noticed that this small maid's feet were actually trembling like a fawn, and she had almost passed out in fright.
'Oh, My God~! How could this happen to me?!' The small maid named Ling Yuyan thought in panic.
Ling Yuyan could only remember that she read an online book until midnight yesterday, but when she woke up the next morning, she somehow ended up transmigrating into this unknown world.
After she digested all of the memories in her new body, she immediately realized that she had been transmigrated into the world of the online book she had read yesterday!
It was still acceptable if she became any side character or even villain, but she actually became a small lowly maid of the most ruthless villainess in the book, Wang Qingling!
If she accidentally made even a tiny mistake in front of this most ruthless villainess, she would certainly be beaten to death right away and thrown out to feed wolves later!
"That b*tch, Wang Meng Yuan~! How dare she talk back to me like that now! I have to teach her a harsh lesson, so she would never dare to oppose me anymore!" Wang Qingling scolded while gnashing her teeth in anger.
It could easily be seen from her grandiose dreamy name, Wang Meng Yuan was the main heroine of the book.
The thought of changing sides to Wang Meng Yuan crossed Ling Yuyan's mind, but she quickly denied it.
Wang Meng Yuan's starting background was only a daughter of Wang Family Patriarch's concubine, while Wang Qingling's background was the daughter of Wang Family Patriarch's main wife.
Moreover, Wang Meng Yuan's mother died after she gave birth to Wang Meng Yuan, so she no longer had any support at this moment.
Because of that, Wang Meng Yuan was bullied a lot by the other daughters and sons of the Wang Patriarch, including Wang Qingling.
Wang Meng Yuan already had so much difficulty defending herself, so how could she have spare energy to protect a small maid like her from Wang Qingling.
Just when Ling Yuyan was still pondering her future plan carefully, Wang Qingling saw Wang Meng Yuan have a walk with her maid near the pool.
Wang Qingling sneered coldly at Wang Meng Yuan as an evil plan was formed in her mind.
Wang Qingling glanced at the timid frightened maids with teary eyes in front of her, and she cursed in annoyance: "Useless trashes~!"
Wang Qingling's shone brighter in contentment when she saw Ling Yuyan's expressionless face.
"You are very good! I like your guts! Come here~! I have a simple task for you to do. If you do it well, I will definitely give you a lot of rewards." Wang Qingling stated in a delightful tone while pointing her index finger to Ling Yuyan.
Ling Yuyan became even more dumbfounded.
Even though Ling Yuyan's mind was completely blank right now, but her body subconsciously obeyed Wang Qingling's order in fear.
After Ling Yuyan approached Wang Qingling, Wang Qingling whispered her order directly into Ling Yuyan's ear.
Just like Ling Yuyan had expected, it was actually a malicious instruction.
Wang Qingling ordered her to push Wang Meng Yuan until Wang Meng Yuan fell into the pool.
It was almost winter, so the water in the pool should be already very cold.
If Wang Meng Yuan really fell into the pool, she would either drown to death or fall ill.
But either way, Ling Yuyan's fate as the main culprit would surely become very miserable.
Even though Wang Meng Yuan was only an unfavorable daughter of the deceased concubine, but she was still undeniably a biological daughter of Wang Patriarch.
If Ling Yuyan dared to do that, Wang Patriarch would certainly punish her severely to death.
But if she dared to refuse to do it, it would be Wang Qingling who would punish her to death in a fit of rage.
Ling Yuyan slowly walked out of the pavilion with a pale expression to approach Wang Meng Yuan.
'Why do I have to be in this situation?! I am just an ordinary high school student~! Mommy, Daddy, Help me~! please help me wake up from this nightmare quickly~!' Ling Yuyan bawled in her heart, but she did not dare to show it on her face.
Just as Ling Yuyan got closer and closer to Wang Meng Yuan, she immediately recalled that her current situation was exactly the same as the beginning of the book she read.
The only difference was the maid who was ordered by Wang Qingling to do this was not Ling Yuyan in the book.
That maid managed to push Wang Meng Yuan into the cold pool, but Wang Meng Yuan obtained something inside the cold pool instead, then her journey to counterattack as a heroine would begin.
Ling Yuyan gritted her teeth as a bold plan was formed in her mind.
When Ling Yuyan got close enough to Wang Meng Yuan and her maid, she suddenly dashed forward as if she really wanted to push Wang Meng Yuan into the cold pool.
"Watch out, Young Miss~!" Wang Meng Yuan's maid shouted to warn her mistress in panic.
Before Wang Meng Yuan have any time to even react, Ling Yuyan changed the direction of her dash a bit right before she could hit Wang Meng Yuan.
But in the eyes of other people, it seemed like Wang Meng Yuan had actually managed to avoid her push instead.
SPLAAAAASSSHH~!
Then it was Ling Yuyan who actually fell into the cold pool right now!
While resisting the biting coldness, Ling Yuyan dived deeper into the cold pool to find the treasure that should be found by Wang Meng Yuan in the book.
She was a pretty good swimmer in her previous world, and she even joined the swimming club at her school.
But she quickly realized that she overestimated the strength of her current body.
Her stamina actually got depleted much faster than she thought under the merciless assault of this cold water.
She might only be able to last for a few more seconds at best.
As her consciousness became more blurry, she faintly saw a glittering object at the bottom of the cold pool.
'That is it~!' Ling Yuyan excitedly thought as she used the last burst of her strength to grab the shiny object and stuffed it into her mouth so no one could take it from her.
Just when Ling Yuyan almost passed out, she saw a strange message in her mind.
*Ding~!
[Congratulations ~! You have successfully activated the Plundering System.]
[You have obtained 300 Plundering Points for stealing the heroine (Wang Meng Yuan)'s opportunity.]
[Since this is your first successful plunder, you are rewarded with three Golden-tier Lottery Chances.]
Ling Yuyan did not have any time to care about that right now as she had to hastily swim out of the cold pool right now.
Wang Meng Yuan still has her maid who helped her out when she drowned in the cold pool, but Ling Yuyan did not have anyone who could help her out of this cold pool, so she could only rely on herself.
It would not be funny if she drowned to death right after she took away Wang Meng Yuan's opportunity and successfully activated her system!
Ling Yuyan bit the tip of her tongue until it was bleeding to keep herself awake as she used her remaining stamina to swim upward.
Ling Yuyan slowly climbed out of the cold pool while her fragile-looking body was trembling in the cold.
Ling Yuyan could still hear Wang Meng Yuan's maid cursing and mocking her rudely, but she was too exhausted, uncomfortable, and sleepy to care about it.
Ling Yuyan felt very dizzy and sick, even her face was extremely pale, but she still slowly dragged her weak and exhausted body back to her room.
Wang Qingling stared angrily at Ling Yuyan from inside the pavilion, but she did not stop Ling Yuyan.
"What a worthless fool~! Even such an easy and simple task cannot be done correctly!" Wang Qingling scolded in a tone filled with mocking and resentment.
Meanwhile, Wang Meng Yuan stared coldly at Ling Yuyan's back from afar.
