After Transmigrating Into A Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character, The Female Lead Was Reborn - Chapter 2

Is it you, my Guardian Deity?
Forgive my transgression, forgive my greed, forgive my… kiss.

The girl’s fragrant kiss landed gently and reverently on the corner of Lin Wan’s lips.

This was an opportunity she had fought so hard to earn. She yearned for the deity’s protection, but even more, she longed to see her god with her own eyes, and then… imprison that deity within her own domain.

She wanted to desecrate the divine.

She also wanted to possess the god exclusively.

…But she was still too weak.

If she ever had another chance, she would, she absolutely would, pour all her strength into claiming the god for herself.

Lin Wan’s pleasure slowly rose within this mystical realm. She could still faintly smell the camellia fragrance in the air. The girl’s soft skin had gradually imbued the camellia scent, making it more ambiguous and tinged with crimson.

She let out a soft moan, her face flushed with irresistible desire.

Lin Wan struggled to find clarity amidst the crimson haze. The fragrance at the tip of her nose gradually faded, like that sudden, reverent kiss, slowly dissolving into the atmosphere. It was like a gentle breeze that, after caressing and purifying her heart, quietly vanished into the mist.

At that moment, the fog before Lin Wan dissipated, revealing the familiar selection buttons.

[Dear user, Xiao Jia has made an irrational attempt and is now in critical condition. Do you choose to save her?]

[a. No.]

[b. Yes, I will save her.]

Lin Wan hadn’t expected that even in this fantastical dreamscape, she couldn’t escape this predatory monetization interface.

She instinctively tapped option b, choosing to save her precious daughter. It was a reflex ingrained from an entire afternoon of conditioning, a primal instinct rooted in her very being.
This time, however, the options lacked the usual price tags, marked only with an asterisk.

Much later, when Lin Wan finally saw the deliberately concealed cost behind that asterisk, she couldn’t help but sigh. Fate, it seemed, had already secretly priced her debt long ago.

When Lin Wan regained her senses, she was no longer in the familiar laboratory. She lay in a cramped shack, barely four square meters in size. Her face was flushed crimson, and her body burned like kindling, radiating an unnatural heat.

The fever’s discomfort choked her breath. Unable to breathe through her nose, she gasped for air through her mouth, each ragged breath scraping her throat like a dull saw grinding against bone.

The tin shack offered no protection against the wind or cold. Outside, heavy raindrops hammered against the roof, and water seeped through the seams, leaving damp stains that slowly spread across the metal. Lin Wan huddled tighter under her thin blanket.

At that moment, the original owner’s memories flooded into her mind like a surging tide. Despite the biting cold and her feverish discomfort, Lin Wan absorbed the memories.

The original owner’s father had abandoned the family shortly after her birth, leaving for work in another city and never returning. For over a decade, he remained silent, leaving Lin Wan and her mother to fend for themselves.

The original owner had been remarkably driven, earning her way from the village school to the best junior high in town, and then from there to the top high school in the city. Her greatest dream was to bring her mother to the city for a better life, sparing her from further hardship.

But she never got the chance to repay her mother’s kindness.

One sweltering day, while working in the fields under the scorching sun, the pesticides evaporating from the soil made her mother dizzy and disoriented. She collapsed in the field and wasn’t discovered until the next day. The original owner rushed home on leave, but she arrived too late to see her mother one last time.

Her mother left behind few possessions: an iron box she treasured, containing letters from her youth with the original owner’s biological father, neatly arranged stacks of small bills, and her few faded metal bracelets.

The original owner remembered the bracelets well. They were curved, jingling bangles, her mother’s prized possessions. The two-yuan shop in town sold stacks of them, yet her mother cherished hers as if they were priceless.

Her mother also left her the old village house. Rural properties held little value, and the original owner had no intention of selling it. She kept it as a memento, a place to anchor her roots.

The original owner brought the faded bracelet to the city. Her mental state had been poor recently due to her mother’s situation, and sometimes she would absentmindedly touch the bell on her desk and drift into thought even while walking.

One day, while climbing the stairs, she wasn’t paying attention to her surroundings and was knocked down by an older boy. He didn’t even apologize before darting away. The original owner fell to the ground, and the bell bracelet flew off, landing some distance away.

She scrambled to her feet, intending to retrieve the bracelet.

That’s when Gu Qingjia appeared.

The original owner’s eyes fell on Gu Qingjia’s slender, delicate wrist as she gently picked up the faded metal bracelet from the ground and handed it to her. “Here,” Gu Qingjia said.

Watching the perfect Gu Qingjia hold the tarnished bracelet, the original owner felt a pang of self-consciousness for the first time. She stammered, “Th… thank you.”

“No problem.”

As expected of my girl! Beautiful and kind-hearted!

When Lin Wan received this memory, she couldn’t help but feel proud of how upright and virtuous Gu Qingjia had grown.

The original owner, touched by Gu Qingjia’s kindness, began to yearn for her. Gu Qingjia was someone she looked up to, but that day, when a sliver of warmth pierced through the thick clouds, she started craving more.

Around this time, the diary the original owner had written as a way to find redemption was discovered by her classmates. They mocked her for her delusional affection.

They teased and ridiculed her, their malice boundless. They saw her very existence as a mistake. A girl liking another girl? Utterly disgusting. She must be a freak, they reasoned, which justified their right to torment and humiliate her from their self-proclaimed moral high ground.

This time was no different. After school, they pinned her down in the swimming pool, mimicking torture scenes from movies to repeatedly subject her to the nightmare of near-drowning. They called it “therapy.”
While the Original Host lay unconscious in the swimming pool, they locked the doors, laughing, leaving her to freeze through the night. The cold drained her of moisture, drying up her will to live.

The next morning, when staff arrived for work, the Original Host was finally able to go home.

Fully clothed, she lay on her bed, thinking, “If it could all end here, that would be good.”

She slowly curled up, ignoring the wind and rain outside, simply letting her body cycle between feverish heat and bone-chilling cold. In her hazy delirium, she seemed to be welcoming her chaotic rebirth.

After absorbing the Original Host’s memories, Lin Wan felt a chill run through her entire body.

She couldn’t help but despise the malice hidden behind their “jokes,” malice as repulsive as bedbugs.

Those hypocritical wolves in sheep’s clothing, spreading their venomous mockery and cruelty, would ultimately pay the price for their shameless and immoral taunts!

This was murder!

Lin Wan was still wearing the clothes she’d worn to the swimming pool that day. The damp, clinging fabric felt suffocating against her skin, making her deeply uncomfortable.

Her lips, parched from the persistent fever, were cracked and dry like drought-stricken earth, their surface peeling like sunbaked soil.

The high fever had clouded her thoughts, making them sluggish and confused. She paused, gazing around the cramped, four-square-meter shanty.

This tiny, damp, and dimly lit shack, hastily constructed from makeshift boards, had been the Original Host’s refuge while she pursued her studies.

Despite living in such squalid conditions, the Original Host had maintained exceptional academic performance. Balancing her studies and daily life, she was like a tenacious blade of grass, stubbornly pushing through cracks in the stone, trembling as she tried to bloom.

Tragically, this resilient and hardworking girl had been brutally trampled.

Lin Wan sighed, relying on her memory to retrieve the wealth left behind by the Original Host. She placed all of the Original Host’s savings into that commemorative iron box: a total of 203.6 yuan.

She took her washed school uniform from the wire clothes rack in the shack and changed out of her current clothes. Still feeling weak and cold, she draped an extra coat over herself, clutching the handful of change as she prepared to go to the pharmacy for medicine.

She pulled out her phone and noticed a reading app with a familiar green interface.

When she opened it, she found the book her Junior Sister had recommended in her collection. Lin Wan immediately recognized the cover: it featured Gu Qingjia, a face she knew well.

She navigated to the app’s bookstore page, but it was completely empty, as were the recommended titles. In the user interface’s inbox, she found a private message:

[Dear User,]

This is a self-service system. You have selected Gu Qingjia as your Main Quest’s exclusive protagonist. Completing Main Quest progress will earn you Points and unlock exclusive benefits. Daily survival consumes 1 Point per day. When your Points reach zero, you will automatically die. Please accumulate Points carefully! Additional side quests await exploration. Stay tuned!]

Lin Wan closed her private messages and refreshed the app, discovering a new Main Quest:

[Points: 1 (Entering Death Countdown)]

[Main Quest: Go to the designated pharmacy to buy medicine. Points +3 (Chance to unlock a new residence!)]

The pharmacy designated by the app was about a kilometer away from Lin Wan’s current residence. She had initially planned to buy some medicine from a nearby pharmacy and return to rest, but the possibility of unlocking a new residence weighed heavily on her mind.

Gritting her teeth, Lin Wan wrapped her coat tighter around herself. “I’m going all in!”

By the time Lin Wan reached the designated pharmacy, her body showed clear signs of exhaustion. She leaned against the glass counter, struggling to overcome the fever-induced dizziness and fatigue.

This pharmacy was a large one located near the school. After describing her symptoms, Lin Wan purchased fever-reducing medication, but the Main Quest progress remained unchanged, leaving her disappointed.

Is this app glitching? Lin Wan silently grumbled.

Her body finally began to collapse. Though still conscious, she involuntarily swayed from the fever, the images before her gradually darkening and spinning…

The moment Lin Wan lost consciousness, she seemed to lean against something soft.

Something soft that smelled of camellias.
