Transmigrating into the Male Supporting Character’s Ex-wife

Mr. Cheng’s company went under. Ruan Jiu Jiu felt it was strange but also felt really cheery.

She texted Qu Wei and offhandedly asked, “Have you prepared the homes and 3 million RMB? I’m waiting.”

On the receiving end, Qu Wei had read the text and was so mad she nearly chucked her phone. Her face was contorted. With a twisted expression, she jabbed at her phone and said, “I haven’t! Your divorce is your own damn business!”

Ruan Jiu Jiu was resolute. “How could a person like you say such dirty words.”

Qu Wei directly blocked her.

After not receiving a reply for a while, Ruan Jiu Jiu figured that Qu Wei never wanted to see her again.

Ruan Jiu Jiu shrugged. Too bad. She had planned to tease Qu Wei a little more.

In reality, Ruan Jiu Jiu had some misgivings. According to the plot in the novel, Mr. Cheng’s company would go broke one year later, like bankrupt levels of broke. Why did the plot develop so fast? She didn’t know if it was the butterfly effect at play.

But this book was a fluffy novel. It mostly focused on developing the relationship between the male and female lead. If the details were changed a little, it wasn’t a big deal.

Ruan Jiu Jiu remembered that the male lead Gu You’s career wasn’t all smooth sailing. There were some bumps in the road. If she remembered correctly, Gu You would take a small hit and be down in the dumps for a bit.

The female lead had her memories from her prior life. She knew that he would experience a meteoric rise. She didn’t abandon Gu You at the critical moment, but rather gently talked it through with him and encouraged him to persevere. This moved her childhood friend. At this time, the two became engaged and the childhood friend became fully devoted to her.

As expected, not much time passed before Gu You turned his life around and became an up-and-coming rookie in the esports scene. His status shot up, and the female lead proudly married him.

Ruan Jiu Jiu thought, “Would you live a good life if you really had the chance to do it over again?”

As long as there was a difference between one’s memories and reality, and the situation grew more out of one’s expectations, anyone would feel terror in their hearts. If a chill person could still be chill and maintain their calm, then that was really something worth admiring.

Ruan Jiu Jiu used her phone to look at her face. She looked a little down and dejected.

She sighed.

Cheng Jun was passing by for a glass of water and heard the sigh. He looked in her direction and then saw her faintly say, “How could I look this good?”

Cheng Jun: “…”

※

She booted the game once again.

When Ruan Jiu Jiu logged in, she saw that a few friends were online and happily asked if they wanted to play together. Perfect, there just so happened to be a new party quest that dropped the latest gear. White Dragon Horse happily gathered a few friends.

Bumbledore: We’re still missing a warrior, who’s coming?

White Dragon Horse: Gimme a sec, I’ll find someone from the guild

Very quickly, White Dragon Horse whispered Ruan Jiu Jiu

White Dragon Horse: hey Jiu Jiu, Rem said he’s free, do you mind?

Ruan Jiu Jiu hesitated. If she refused again, she would definitely come off as rude. Everyone was already gathered together, if she quit because of Gu You, the others would probably think that there was something between them. As long as the two of them didn’t talk directly to each other, it’d be fine.

Jiu Jiu Jiu: yeah, sure

White Dragon Horse: yeeet

The mobs in this map were a bit strong, so Ruan Jiu Jiu only planned to obediently tag along behind them and help heal everyone. Reminiscence of the Past turned on his mic and calmly gave the team directions on what to do next. His low and smooth voice was very pleasing to the ear.

One by one, everyone turned on their mics to chat.

White Dragon Horse said in the voice chat: Miss Jiu Jiu, join us!

Jiu Jiu Jiu: nty, my voice doesn’t sound that nice

White Dragon Horse: how bad can it be

Jiu Jiu Jiu: bad enough for you to block me

Reminiscence of the Past lightly chuckled, causing a few fangirls in the party to squeal:

“Rem senpaiii your voice sounds sooo goood!”

Ruan Jiu Jiu pretended she didn’t hear that.

Reminiscence of the Past led the team securely through that stage of the fight. Ruan Jiu Jiu didn’t even supply that much healing and was pretty much just being carried. She watched helplessly as Reminiscence of the Past both made calls and at the same time, calmly sent out line after line of damage. His last ultimate skill soundly finished off the boss. He was definitely the MVP of the fight.

No wonder all this little girls loved pro gamers. Ruan Jiu Jiu had no choice but to admit that Reminiscence of the Past was very charismatic.

A few sets of equipment dropped, and White Dragon Horse generously let Ruan Jiu Jiu have her pick. Ruan Jiu Jiu was dressed from head to toe in equipment that screamed WHALE, of much better quality than these pieces, so she just chose a ring to be polite and then followed them out the map.

Ruan Jiu Jiu planned to quit the game at this time.

Bumbledore: Lets go a few more rounds, it’s so rare to have a healer that doesn’t just sit on her ass whining, her controls are not bad either.

Before when they partied, there were more than a few times where they got scammed. Some fairy immortals were absolute trash, yet the second something good dropped they’d immediately call out “Gege” in a cutesy voice and coquettishly demand to have it. A 100% straight male gamer like him had the least amount of patience for these girls, but unfortunately, for some of his friends it checked all their boxes.

It made him depressed.

With that in comparison, the quiet and reliable Jiu Jiu Jiu suddenly seemed pretty good.

Jiu Jiu Jiu: …ty I appreciate it

A few people in their party changed their equipment, preparing to take on a slightly more difficult map in the Abyss region. If it wasn’t for Reminiscence of the Past making a rare appearance, they wouldn’t dare so casually enter that zone. Plus, since the godly Rem was here they might even be lucky enough to have legendary equipment drop.

Ruan Jiu Jiu was still an apathetic salted fish.

Hoofs to the West: Jiujiu, you don’t wanna level and you don’t want equips. Man, what are you playing for?

Jiu Jiu Jiu: The graphics. The scenery is very beautiful

White Dragon Horse: LOL you’re so funny

Reminiscence of the Past: It indeed is beautiful

White Dragon Horse: heyheyhey rempai what are you referring to, the scenery or the person?

White Dragon Horse didn’t like Light Breeze Bi Ying. Anyone with eyes could see that Reminiscence of the Past felt something special towards Jiu Jiu Jiu. She shipped those two. This time, her heckling was a way of creating an opportunity for the two.

Ruan Jiu Jiu furrowed her brows. According to the plot, Gu You should have gotten engaged with Xu Bi Ying. It wasn’t proper for him to be flirting with someone else.

In the book, Gu You was warm and capable. No matter how one looked at it, this sort of situation shouldn’t develop. How could he want to get entangled with another woman when he already had a fiancee?

Unless… Gu You’s character design broke?

Ruan Jiu Jiu was distraught at that thought. This was reality. Cheng Jun wasn’t as cold and heartless as in the books. Or perhaps, she shouldn’t overlay her impression from the book on the man in front of her.

Just when she was inwardly cursing, White Dragon Horse fell into silence.

White Dragon Horse: Um… Breeze wants to party

Light Breeze Bi Ying was also a fairy immortal support class. Ruan Jiu Jiu saw the opportunity and took it to abscond.

Ruan Jiu Jiu: in that case imma go

Bumbledore: There’s no need. We just so happen to have an extra slot. The next round is a bit precarious. We might need two people for more strength

Ruan Jiu Jiu’s eyes twitched. Light Breeze Bi Ying’s name was in the party list. She quickly opened her mic, and her voice was soft and light. “Jiujiu, my gear isn’t as good as you. Carry me please~”

Ruan Jiu Jiu didn’t know if she was mocking her or if she was straight up blind.

Jiu Jiu Jiu: oh yea, I’m a whale. I can find you a good premium package if you want

This single line was enough to choke the other up.

Reminiscence of the Past: lol

Light Breeze Bi Ying wasn’t happy: Rem Gege, are you actually making fun of me

Reminiscence of the Past: No. Let’s keep playing

The sappy, cutesy sound of “Rem Gege” gave Ruan Jiu Jiu goosebumps. Five bolts of lighting shot down from the heavens and struck the top of her head, and smoke spouted from her seven orifices. Jesus Christ, what a shameful sound. Through what kind of dark sorcery was a noise like that made!

White Dragon Horse took advantage of the party not forming yet and whispered Ruan Jiu Jiu.

White Dragon Horse: Acting kawaii is an egirl’s weapon of choice.

Jiu Jiu Jiu: …ah really

White Dragon Horse: You can give it a shot too, all men simp hard for that shit

Jiu Jiu Jiu: o….

Just as they were chatting, the map finished loading. Reminiscence of the Past’s gentle voice sounded: “The two fairy immortals, follow behind us. Don’t worry, we’ll keep you two safe and sound.”

This battle was particularly arduous. The boss had high HP that could heal itself and summon zombie minions. Ruan Jiu Jiu was always a chill gamer. These scary scenes gave her a fright, but she still cautiously guarded against the first line of attack.

“Aw shit aw shit aw shit!! I need healing! I’m dying!”

“Go go go don’t get trapped!”

“Steady!” This was the only calm voice, belonging to Reminiscence of the Past.

Ruan Jiu Jiu was so tired her hands were cramping. She carefully dodged the attacks and kept an eye on the cooldowns, and supported her teammates at all times. Though her level wasn’t high, her equipment made up for it. She was rather diligent and helped a significant amount.

Ruan Jiu Jiu continued healing. She’d die, and then wait to revive and continue healing the others.

Compared to Ruan Jiu Jiu, Light Breeze Bi Ying was tens of levels higher than her yet only focused on Reminiscence of the Past. Her most potent heals were only targeted at her childhood friend. She cast everyone else to the side.

This battle was difficult. Once finished, Bumbledore spoke up.

“Um Light Breeze Bi Ying was it? Why’d you only revive Master Rem? We’re people too man.”

“Thankfully Jiu Jiu was there, or else I would be depressed.”

“Yeah, you’re too biased.”

……

A few people were unhappy and chattered nonstop. At this time, Reminiscence of the Past said, “Give the best equipment drop to Jiu Jiu Jiu. We don’t mind.”

During the battle, Jiu Jiu Jiu was trying her best to save them. The drop just so happened to be a legendary healer equip. It was suitable for the fairy immortal class. Everyone agreed. Only Light Breeze Bi Ying mumbled, “But this was Rem Gege’s drop.”

This time, Reminiscence of the Past’s tone was harsher. “Bi Ying, stop talking.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu took the equipment but wasn’t actually that happy. Xu Bi Ying would definitely bear a grudge. Ruan Jiu Jiu didn’t know if the other person would pull any dirty tricks on her.

To Ruan Jiu Jiu, it was only a game. She could log off at any time and these were all trivial matters.

But for Xu Bi Ying, it was a big matter.

Not only did she not get anything out of it, Gu You was unhappy. In tears, she ran off to find a close friend to vent to. Her complaints all implied that Jiu Jiu Jiu was trying to steal her man. She unfairly took advantage of her and still pretended to be a good person.

On the side, Ruan Jiu Jiu came out of her room and bumped into Cheng Juan entering the door.

For some inexplicable reason, White Dragon Horse’s advice popped into her mind.

Ruan Jiu Jiu hopped up and cutely called out: “Jun Gege~” She wanted to eat lobster~

Before she could follow up with her next words, Cheng Jun’s normally lazily droopy eyes opened slightly, his gaze sharpening, as if he had suffered some kind of shock. Without even changing his shoes, he immediately turned and paced away in the direction of the kitchen.

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “?? Where are you going?”

Cheng Jun quickly returned with a thin, long … thermometer…

“Take your temperature.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “…”

She guessed that he thought she was running a fever and muddle-headed. Didn’t White Dragon Horse say that all men fell for that act? Ruan Jiu Jiu felt like she took a huge blow to her ego.

Ruan Jiu Jiu’s embarrassment turned into anger. “What sort of man are you?!” She then unhappily turned to her room and shut the door.

Cheng Jun stood in place and silently stared at the closed door.

His phone buzzed. It was a WeChat notification.

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “I want to eat lobster from Xuji Seafood. Your only option is to agree, or else you’re getting the cold shoulder for a week.”

Cheng Jun replied lightning fast.

“Ok.”

Xuji Seafood wasn’t far from home. Cheng Jun didn’t like eating out. But as expected, he went out to buy lobster.

Ruan Jiu Jiu was just about to praise him when suddenly she got a text from White Dragon Horse.

“Jiu Jiu, it seems like you’ve been featured in a forum post. A lot of people are viewing it!”

Author’s note:

Only

Ruan Jiu Jiu: My self-confidence has taken a blow.

Cheng Jun: Ok.

Ruan Jiu Jiu: ??? What kind of response is this?! How do you expect me to live like this!

Silence.

Silence.

Cheng Jun: Didn’t you say I can only agree.

Ruan Jiu Jiu: …I’m giving you the cold shoulder.

Cheng Jun: …
