…

The moonlight outside the window was thick, and a faint scent of alcohol permeated the air inside the room, making one's face flush and heart race.

On the big bed, the woman's forehead was damp with a thin layer of sweat, her body twisting restlessly, her neck carrying the delicate, dense scent of hormones, tingling and numbing...

"Don't..." the woman moaned softly.

Her wrist was caught by a strong hand and gently pushed above her head.

Li Xingwan woke up with a start, her eyes fixed on the ceiling, and after realizing she was in her own room, she rolled her eyes in speechless embarrassment.

It was actually a damn spring dream!

It seemed she really drank too much last night!

Right then, her cellphone on the bedside table started buzzing. Li Xingwan glanced at it and stretched her slender waist before reaching for the phone, her lazy voice still heavy with sleep.

"Hello..."

"Li Xingwan!" a furious roar came through the phone. "You can't possibly still be in bed, can you?!"

Li Xingwan moved the phone away from herself with exasperation, stubborn as a dead duck. "How could that be?!"

"Stop playing dumb with me!" The agent continued to exert her prehistoric strength, swearing to wake her up. "Don't forget, today is the first day of your comeback, and also the day you bring your husband and son out for a public appearance!"

Upon hearing 'son', Li Xingwan was still normal, but at the mention of 'husband', she frowned, puzzled. "I have a husband?"

She had no idea about this.

Hearing this from the other end, the agent nearly closed her eyes and gave herself an emergency heart massage. "You don't have a husband? Are you sure you don't have a husband?!"

Not only from the voice on the phone, but also from above Li Xingwan's head, another voice came through. It was a cold, desirous voice that shocked Li Xingwan's heart into a numbing tingle, and she couldn't recover for a while.

The agent froze as well on hearing such a voice.

"You don't have a husband?"

This was like seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

Li Xingwan opened her eyes wide for a moment, then looked up. As she suddenly encountered a pair of dangerous, desirous eyes, she was nearly scared out of bed.

The man was dressed in opulence, his custom-tailored black suit sharp and exacting. He exuded a presence that was mature, noble, and authoritative.

The kind that demanded one to look up to him.

And on his wrist, he wore a strand of Buddha beads. They spoke of ruthless determination, the will to dominate and conquer.

"..."

With a "clatter", the cellphone in Li Xingwan's hand fell to the floor, and vague memories surged back.

Yes, she had transmigrated. The original character's name was Li Xingwan, a minor, unpopular actress in the entertainment industry, often resisted and cursed by the majority of netizens.

Three years ago, she was slandered and could no longer mix in the industry, becoming infamous. Combined with her family's bankruptcy and her being duped during a period of emotional chaos.

Though married, she was a stepmother.

Moreover, the man she married, other than leaving her a child, had also gone abroad for three years due to business issues.

Three years!

This made her extremely dissatisfied, and she also had someone else in her heart. Therefore, she felt a strong aversion to everything in her current life, including that child, whom she wished was dead.

Consequently, this led to subsequent ill-treatment of the child, earning her the image of the most poisonous stepmother and the adulterous wife.

It even resulted in the man who returned to the country promptly kicking her out.

Not only did she lose face, but with her family bankrupt, she was shunned and ignored, becoming an outcast.

Finally, she died at the age of twenty-something from depression.

Li Xingwan woke up and recalled that not long ago, the Fu Family's business had stabilized, and she, the person who had transmigrated into the book, had her first phone call with the original character's husband.

He told her in a clear, desirous voice, "I've come back."
