Ye Linghua transmigrated into a book with a stand-in trope.
One of the main characters, Lin Xin, is a top-tier actress in the entertainment industry. She is deeply in love with Zheng Lanwen from her rival company and is willing to marry her, becoming a substitute for her ideal woman.
When Ye Linghua transmigrated, it coincided with Zheng Lanwen's beloved returning to China, and Lin Xin divorcing him in tears.
Ye Linghua admired Lin Xin's talent and knew that Lin Xin was depressed after the divorce.
Although he eventually reconciled with Zheng Lanwen, he suffered health problems during the period following the divorce, leaving him with chronic illnesses.
Therefore, Ye Linghua decided to stay with her through this difficult period until that idiot Zheng Lanwen finally repented and came back to pick up Lin Xin.
Just by spending time with him... it seems he accidentally... stole the protagonist's wife?
***
Lin Xin loved Zheng Lanwen for 5 years
Even after marriage, he repeatedly gave up his career to prioritize her, but that man only came back when news of his return to China arrived.
Zheng Lanwen immediately filed for divorce.
Lin Xin signed the document after a wry smile.
She thought she would never love again in her life.
Until a simpleton suddenly appeared beside him.
She handed herself a tissue and said with a gentle smile, "Xin Xin, a princess shouldn't cry."
Like the bright spring sunshine, warm and comfortable.
She kept that tissue for a very, very long time.
Until Ye Linghua, that blockhead, finally realized and proposed to her.
Gentle and mild-mannered young lady vs. aloof and proud movie queen
Chapter 25
On the day of the truth or dare game, Losi knew that she had feelings for Cheng Qing.
But this was only a matter of goodwill; Losi didn't know how far that goodwill had progressed.
But given Losi's pride, she naturally wouldn't easily confess her feelings to Cheng Qing.
But this didn't stop Cheng Qing's words from always stirring her heartstrings, making her blush and her heart race, and making her overthink.
Just like now.
Huh? Who's grabbing my foot?
Losi paused, looking down. She then suddenly noticed a half-woman's body dragging around at her feet, its bloody entrails hanging out. One hand was gripping Losi's foot, and the woman was slowly raising her head to look at Losi.
The face that was raised was covered in rotten flesh, and the fake skin hanging on the side of the face was so realistic that it made people's hearts stop.
Grabbing Cheng Qing's hand, she screamed at the top of her lungs, "Aaaaaaahhhhhh, Qingqing aaaaaaahhhhhh!!!"
Cheng Qing was taken aback and glanced at the mannequin on the ground. Then, he pulled Luo Xi to his side. The half-dead female ghost was a remote-controlled robot. After Cheng Qing pulled Luo Xi away, she couldn't sense anyone nearby, so she slowly moved back into the hole in the corner of the wall.
Losi was still screaming and stomping her feet, as if she wanted to shake everything off her body.
Cheng Qing called her: "Lossie".
Cheng Qing's voice was like a rushing spring, instantly pulling Luo Xi back to her senses. She stared blankly at Cheng Qing, and her fear slowly dissipated.
Only then did she feel wronged, and she looked at Cheng Qing almost as if she were complaining, saying, "It scratched me."
Cheng Qing laughed: "That's because the robot sensed you were close to it."
Luo Xi almost cried, but looking into Cheng Qing's gentle and clear eyes, she could only nod and let Cheng Qing pull her forward.
After passing through the long corridor, one can faintly hear the sounds of wind, crying, and screaming.
Unlike the quiet waiting room, where there was only one female nurse, the atmosphere became even more terrifying as we ventured deeper into the hospital, both in terms of the environment and the sounds.
Cheng Qing glanced at the map on the wall, and Luo Xi followed suit. Suddenly, a series of loud thuds came from the door behind them, as if something in the room was about to break out.
Cheng Qing glanced back at the door and asked Luo Xi, "Should we open the door and take a look?"
Losi grabbed her clothes, almost shaking her awake: "No!!! Why are you so curious!!!"
Cheng Qing suppressed a laugh, nodded in response, and then pulled her along to continue walking forward.
A haunted house is unlikely to let you walk through it unscathed from beginning to end. After less than two minutes, you're forced to come to a safety door covered by a black cloth, with nothing visible behind it. But the more mysterious it is, the more it makes you wonder.
Cheng Qing reached out and lifted the black cloth. It was pitch black inside, and it would take a while for her eyes to adjust.
Once they could make out the contents of the room, Cheng Qing pulled Luo Xi inside. There were rows of hospital beds, and it was unclear whether the people lying on them were real people or dolls. Neither of them bothered to investigate.
After looking for a while, Cheng Qing said with certainty, "It looks like the inpatient department?"
Lossie was furious: "I don't care what it is, let's get out of here!"
She always felt that the people in the bed were restless and eager to make a move.
Sure enough, the people on the bed seemed to hear their voices, and suddenly they all grabbed the bedposts and stood up stiffly and with difficulty, like zombies.
Luo Xi gasped, but Cheng Qing covered her mouth before she could cry out.
He comforted her, saying, "The staff told us when we came in that NPCs can't touch us."
Losi pulled her hand away and said, feeling wronged, "But I'm scared."
Cheng Qing glanced at the exit, which was right behind these people. However, looking around, the room was packed with about a dozen patients, leaving only a small passageway in the middle. There was no way to get out; she had to get through them.
Cheng Qing had no choice but to reach out and hug Luo Xi: "I'm afraid we'll have to go through it too."
Losi, who was being hugged, blushed and became too shy to be afraid.
Fortunately, these NPCs didn't move much, only slowly turning their heads to look at them as they passed by. They seemed ready to riot at any moment, but after they left the room, they didn't move.
Losi breathed a sigh of relief, looked back, and smiled proudly at her own courage.
As soon as the smile appeared on his lips, a female nurse carrying a severed head rushed out of the room.
Luo Xi's expression froze for a moment, then she gasped and rushed over to hug Cheng Qing, almost choking him to death.
Cheng Qing: "...cough, cough, be gentle."
The nurse rushed over and could only surround the two of them, trying her best to get her head close to Losi and stare at them with wide eyes.
Luo Xi glanced at her, then hugged Cheng Qing even tighter: "Let her go!!!"
Cheng Qing finally managed to pull her arm off her neck, and while pressing down on Losi in her arms, she waved to the nurse: "Hurry up, or she'll choke me to death."
Nurse:"……"
***
The director, watching from the monitoring room, exclaimed, "Holy crap, this is exciting!"
The assistant blushed and said, "If this is released, the fans will be in for a treat."
Although Luo Xi would hug Cheng Qing before, she would let go after a short hug because she was excited and happy.
But this time was different; Losi practically embraced the entire season.
The nurse at the scene finally realized that one of them was fearless, while the other was so afraid that she would never turn back even if she died.
So all they could do was leave the stage dejectedly, carrying the human head model in their hands.
Seeing that the female ghost had left, Cheng Qing patted her and gently comforted her, "She's gone."
Losi quickly rolled out of her arms, then grabbed Cheng Qing's hand and ran forward, saying, "Quick, quick, let's run!"
Cheng Qing really wanted to tell her: So far, it hasn't been that scary; the later parts might be the scariest...
Screams erupted from both the front and back of the line, likely as the rest of the group entered. Men and women screamed, their cries rising and falling, perfectly complementing the hospital's background music and creating a truly intense atmosphere.
Although the hospital is not far away, the area is quite large. If you take the wrong turn, you'll have to find your way back.
Along the way, there were 150 doors. Each department was equipped with realistic medical equipment, operating tables, surgical lights, and so on.
Even the organs and human skin on the operating table are made to look real.
The journey was filled with frights and scares, but Luo Xi was used to burying herself in Cheng Qing's arms whenever something happened, and she managed to walk a long way without any major incidents.
As the two walked further in, a doctor with a disfigured face suddenly jumped out from a side door. Losi watched him jump out, and the two even stared at each other intently for two seconds, completely startling Losi.
Then, the doctor shoved Losi against the wall.
Cheng Qing: "???" Holy crap, a moving wall.
All Cheng Qing had seen was Losi, who had been holding his hand, disappear after entering the stone gate. For the first time since entering, Cheng Qing was completely bewildered.
Cheng Qing cursed, "Such a grand gesture for a haunted house, with stone walls and doors."
She rushed over to push the door, but it wouldn't budge no matter what she did.
It's over.
Sure enough, through the wall, she heard Losie scream, followed by the sound of her running away.
"Lossie!"
In a panic, Cheng Qing grabbed the doctor with the blemished face next to her and shouted, "Open the door!"
Doctor with rotten skin: "..."
It turned out that the stone wall door had a mechanism. The doctor with the rotten face was frightened by Cheng Qing's intimidating aura and obediently opened the door.
Cheng Qing quickly jumped through the door and found that it was the hospital morgue. After leaving the incomplete corpses on the mortuary, she saw that all sorts of strange corpse models were hanging from the ceiling.
The lights were flashing red and green, but no ghosts appeared. It was probably a ghost from before that had chased after Losi. There was only one road, so Cheng Qing quickly followed it.
They bumped right into a ghost who had just returned from outside, scaring the returning female ghost half to death, causing her to scream even louder than Rossi.
Cheng Qing grabbed her, saying with a headache, "Stop shouting, where is she?"
The female ghost was almost crying: "Who is it?"
Cheng Qing: "...The girl you were chasing just now."
The female ghost chuckled again: "You mean her? She ran too fast, I couldn't catch her."
