Cheng Wancheng stayed up all night reading a horror novel. When she woke up, she found herself covered in blood, holding the female lead and boss, who had just drawn her last breath and was still warm, with a bloodstained dagger in her hand. The implications were obvious: she, or rather the original owner of this body, seemed to have... killed someone???
Cheng Wancheng: "..." This has to be a dream!
After a series of attempts to verify what had happened, Cheng Wancheng finally accepted the truth: she had transmigrated into a novel, becoming the scumbag wife of the horror novel's boss, who had teamed up with a bunch of relatives to murder her wife and defraud the insurance company.
She had landed right at the original owner's murder scene, where the body had been dumped.
Cheng Wancheng, forced to become a murderer: I'm doomed!
By her calculations, it would be eight years before the female lead turned into a ghost. Eight years later, she would return for revenge and begin a cathartic slaughter spree. As the "murderer" and her ex-wife, Cheng Wancheng would meet the most gruesome end.
After much soul-searching, Cheng Wancheng decided: In that case, she might as well enjoy these eight years. She would blow the female lead's tens of millions in inheritance and massive insurance payout!
But before she could spend a cent, the original female lead's enemies started showing up one after another, trying to get their hands on her money.
The enemies: "We agreed to split the money! Are you trying to keep it all for yourself?!"
Cheng Wancheng, outraged: "Who do you think you are, coveting my money?!"
Cheng Wancheng began mercilessly killing them off.
But she never expected that, while she was killing them one by one, the female lead's ghost would suddenly come knocking ahead of schedule.
Staring at the blood-soaked, eerie creature before her, Cheng Wancheng dropped the gold bangle she'd just gotten her hands on with a clatter. "Wait, isn't it way too early for this?"
The eerie creature revealed a grayish-blue face. "Are you the one helping me get revenge?"
"..." Cheng Wancheng was so scared she froze and couldn't speak.
The eerie creature's voice grated like fingernails scraping glass. "If you love me so much, why did you kill me? Are you some kind of yandere?"
On closer listening, there was a hint of confusion beneath the grating tone.
Cheng Wancheng: "...Huh?"
