Chapter 1
"This kind of cosmic debris should be thrown into the crematorium and recycled!"
Jiang Shuiyun, the first marshal of the interstellar space, lay on the bed and threw the book in his hand far away.
Jiang Shuiyun originally wanted to read a book before bed, so she picked one up at random. Unexpectedly, she got a popular interstellar novel. The scumbag Alpha with the same name as Jiang Shuiyun in the novel successfully made Jiang Shuiyun furious.
In the original book, Jiang Shuiyun, a scumbag Alpha, relied on his family's power to forcefully marry the female lead, Yi Jinbai. However, he did not expect that as soon as he married her, the Jiang family was raided and he became penniless overnight. Jiang Shuiyun then brazenly stayed at home to live off his wife, showing no concern for how hard it was for the female lead, an Omega, to work outside. He only knew how to squander money as before.
Not only that, in the original book, Jiang Shuiyun blamed the female lead for the downfall of his family. After getting drunk, he even beat and kicked her, insulted and belittled her. Later, he even used the female lead's money to support his mistress and brought her home to humiliate her.
Seeing this, Jiang Shuiyun felt like she was about to have a heart attack from anger. How could there be such disgusting scum in the world!
"A reminder to the owner that it's late and it's time to go to sleep."
The smart home assistant's voice prompt soon rang out. Jiang Shuiyun took a deep breath, drank some water, and calmed down her anger.
It's just a novel, not worth getting so angry about. Jiang Shuiyun patted her chest, lay down, covered herself with the blanket, and closed her eyes to sleep.
Jiang Shuiyun, who was lying down, didn't see the book she had thrown away emitting a faint light, which then grew brighter and brighter...
Half asleep, Jiang Shuiyun vaguely heard a girl sobbing. Puzzled, she forced her eyes open.
When Jiang Shuiyun opened her eyes, what appeared before her was a dark, dilapidated, low and cramped environment, followed by a girl huddled in a corner trembling, and a handful of small bills in her hand.
Jiang Shuiyun's strong mental fortitude allowed her to quickly calm down. The pain from her fingernails digging into her palm reminded her that everything before her was real.
As the pain intensified, a sudden thought flashed through Jiang Shuiyun's mind. She quickly compared the scene before her with a scene from the novel she had been reading before bed, and an absurd idea emerged.
I've transmigrated into a book!
This realization caused Jiang Shuiyun's mind to go blank for a rare moment.
Jiang Shuiyun gasped almost imperceptibly, forcing herself to calm down quickly and make a decision in the shortest amount of time.
Although I don't know what caused this situation, I am now the one who became that scumbag Jiang Shuiyun. Even if I wasn't the one who made the mistake before, I should take on the responsibility and obligation to make amends now.
Crouching down, Jiang Shuiyun approached the girl in the corner and tentatively asked, "Jinbai?"
The sobbing stopped noticeably, and Yi Jinbai tensed up visibly.
Jiang Shuiyun knew that the damage the original owner had caused her could not be easily erased, so she stopped trying to get closer and simply put the money back at Yi Jinbai's feet.
"Jinbai, I'm sorry. I was out of my mind and made a mistake. I promise you, it will never happen again. I'll go get you some water to wash your face."
Jiang Shuiyun got up and, following the instructions in the book, walked out of the dilapidated little house and fetched a basin of water from the tap at the foot of the courtyard wall.
When they returned to the house, Yi Jinbai was still in the corner, motionless, with the money still in its original place.
Jiang Shuiyun placed the water on the table and stood there awkwardly. "I know you don't want to see me right now, so I'll go out first."
Jiang Shuiyun had never encountered anything like this before, and she wasn't sure if she had handled it correctly. She walked towards the door, looking back every few steps.
When she reached the door, Jiang Shuiyun couldn't help but turn around again, and her eyes met those of Yi Jinbai, who had just raised his head. Those red, wet eyes, like those of a little rabbit, instantly struck Jiang Shuiyun's heart, causing her usually steady heartbeat to suddenly become disordered.
Like a startled fawn, Yi Jinbai lowered his head again as soon as he noticed Jiang Shuiyun turning around.
Realizing that she had frightened him, Jiang Shuiyun felt a pang of guilt. After glancing at Yi Jinbai again, she dared not turn back and quickly walked towards the door.
As Jiang Shuiyun stepped out of the house and walked all the way to the courtyard gate, standing outside the courtyard wall, those wet eyes were still on her mind.
Jiang Shuiyun dug her fingernails into her palm, took a deep breath, and focused her attention on the current situation.
My gaze swept across the narrow alley outside the door. The bluestone paving stones, some from who-knows-how-many years ago, had been worn smooth by the constant footsteps of people coming and going. It must have rained just now, as there were still puddles on the road.
A few neighbors sat at the entrance of a nearby alley, chatting and fanning themselves, but their eyes would occasionally glance in Jiang Shuiyun's direction, mostly with disdain.
Needless to say, Jiang Shuiyun knew how despicable the original owner's daily behavior was, and somewhat uncomfortably turned around and walked in another direction.
While reading the book, Jiang Shuiyun learned that this world was basically the same as his own, except that the technology was a bit behind. Moreover, there were no insectoids or wars here; it was a peaceful world. Of course, there were no mechs either.
Thinking of this, Jiang Shuiyun habitually clenched her right hand, a gesture she made when wearing her mecha.
"Click-click-click!"
A faint metallic clanging sound rang out, and Jiang Shuiyun was surprised to find that the mecha that had been with her for so many years had come with her.
Jiang Shuiyun quickly put it away and looked around. Fortunately, the alley was long, narrow, and winding. She had gone deep into the alley, and the people at the entrance couldn't see what had just happened.
Jiang Shuiyun breathed a sigh of relief that no one had seen her mecha. She looked at the inconspicuous silver line on her right wrist, and the tension that had been building up since earlier finally eased. Having her mecha always made her feel exceptionally at ease.
After wandering around the alley for a while, Jiang Shuiyun felt it was about time, so she slowly returned to the front of the courtyard. She glanced inside and saw that the door was closed. She wondered if Yi Jinbai was inside.
Just as Jiang Shuiyun was lingering in the courtyard, the door was opened from the inside, and the two immediately looked at each other.
Jiang Shuiyun opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say. Yi Jinbai clearly didn't give her a chance to speak, only glancing at Jiang Shuiyun briefly before quickly leaving with his head down.
As Yi Jinbai passed by Jiang Shuiyun, Jiang Shuiyun subconsciously held her breath. Only after watching Yi Jinbai walk out the door did she belatedly realize what was happening, and a faint, sweet scent of strawberries brushed past her nose.
Jiang Shuiyun glanced down at her watch and realized that it should be time for Yi Jinbai to go to work.
The job market for Omegas in this world is not friendly. Basic jobs are done by Betas, while higher-level jobs are mostly done by Alphas. By law, Omegas are paired with Alphas, and their job is to stay at home and have children.
The original text also describes Yi Jinbai's work. Because he couldn't find any other jobs, Yi Jinbai could only choose to work as a temporary worker in a flower shop. Every day, he was responsible for all the trivial matters in the flower shop and also had to go out to deliver flowers to people's homes, rain or shine, which was very hard work.
Jiang Shuiyun rubbed her temples. The most urgent thing now was to find a job. She couldn't just beg and beg like the original owne
