I Was Just a Scumbag Extra, But She Loved Me Anyway [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 47 (FINALE)

Su Chenli stood once more in that vast, endless space of consciousness. The boundless whiteness surrounding her seemed to whisper that everything she had experienced over that long stretch of time was nothing more than a dream.

It was all over.

[Host… this might be the last time I call you that. If you’ve decided to end the mission and return to your original world, then this will likely be the end of our partnership. Maybe now’s the time to decide what you’d like to exchange your points for.]

Su Chenli understood what the system meant.
She could choose to believe Pei Nanxu and end the mission now—return to her world and wait for Pei Nanxu to find her. Or, she could choose to continue the mission.

After all, Pei Nanxu never explained how she would find her, or how long it might take.
Su Chenli could keep doing missions, earning points, and eventually use those points to ask the system to bring Pei Nanxu to her.

It would be a lie to say she wasn’t worried Pei Nanxu might break her promise.

If she ended the mission now, her connection with the system would be severed. Back in the real world, she’d likely become an ordinary person again.

She would lose the system’s perspective—the ability to predict what would happen or understand the structure of the story and timelines. All she could do then was wait—wait for Pei Nanxu to come, day by day.

And if Pei Nanxu didn’t come, she would be helpless. No one would believe her if she tried to explain everything that had happened.
If that happened, everything between them really would have been just a dream.

[Please choose carefully, Host. Based on how things went in the previous worlds, there may have been changes on the devoted supporting character’s side too. If you continue the mission now, there’s a chance you might just miss her completely.]

“…”
Su Chenli stayed silent for a moment and closed her eyes.
“I understand. Then I…”

Her voice caught, and after a long pause, she continued,
“I choose to end the mission.”

[Ah… I figured you’d say that.]

The system sounded a little wistful.

[You never really seemed like someone who was passionate about completing missions. I’ve rarely seen a host as emotionally distant as you in these worlds… But since we’re at the end, I won’t dwell on that. So, what would you like to redeem your points for?]

Even if she’d seemed detached, hadn’t she still fallen for someone in one of those worlds?

Su Chenli was quiet for a while. Then, she smiled, softly and with a sense of peace.

“Did I ever tell you that I never lacked anything in my original world?”

[I know,] the system replied gently, like a longtime friend.
[We’ve worked together for a while now. Of course, I’ve seen your file—I know you come from a comfortable background.]

Su Chenli took a deep breath and looked up at the endless white sky above her.
“Then let me trade my points for a house. I don’t need anything else. I just want a place that feels special enough… to wait in. I’ll stay there and wait for the beautiful big sister to come find me.”

[Got it! Your points have been redeemed. Points reset to zero. Your consciousness will now return to your original world, and… our connection will be severed.]

A quiet emptiness settled in Su Chenli’s heart, but she still smiled.

“It’s been nice working with you. I hope your next hosts are kind and easy to talk to. Goodbye.”

[Goodbye… Host #8301, Su Chenli. I wish you all the best.]

Huaihai Road No. 422 was part of a residential complex built quite a few years ago.

Back then, property prices hadn’t gone crazy yet, and the developer managed to secure a large plot near Huaihai Road. Not only did they build proper apartment buildings, but they also carefully planned out the green spaces. The landscaping was so well done that it looked more like a park than a typical residential area.

A few years ago, the housing prices at No. 422 Huaihai Road skyrocketed to near-unbelievable levels. Though they’ve dropped slightly in recent years due to the shifting of S City’s commercial center, occupancy rates have remained high.

A black Mercedes van slowly drove into the complex and came to a stop just a short distance past the entrance.

A tall, long-haired alpha woman stepped out casually, taking her time to adjust her sleeves. She was wrapped up from head to toe—wearing a baseball cap pulled low to cover half her face, sunglasses hiding her eyes, and a mask over her mouth. You could barely make out any part of her expression.

“Li-jie, are you sure you don’t want us to drive you all the way in?” a chubby young man poked his head out of the car window, asking with concern.

“No need,” Su Chenli said, tugging at her mask as she turned to walk down the sidewalk. “I’ll take a walk. I’m on break for the next few days, so you don’t have to worry about me.”

“Oh… okay.”
Her manager watched her figure disappear into the distance, then sat back in the car with a sigh. He waved at the driver. “Alright, back it up. Let’s head out.”

From the back seat, the assistant leaned forward, a little confused. “Brother Lin, is Li-jie going off the grid again?”

“Seems like it,” the manager replied distractedly, staring out the window. “She’s always been like this.”

The assistant sank back in his seat and muttered under his breath, “She’s got a pretty good personality, honestly… just feels a little distant. Doesn’t like getting close to people.”

That made the manager pause, as if something had clicked.
“I heard she wasn’t always like this. Used to be the kind of actress who never rushed for roles—always played the supporting characters, real easygoing. But after she signed with our agency last year, she changed. Started getting picky about scripts, only working with top-tier teams… it’s like she suddenly got ambitious. And with that came the coldness—like once she set her eyes on her career, she stopped caring about everything else.”

“Oh… sounds like someone who’s been through heartbreak.”

“Don’t talk nonsense! Watch what you say.”

“Right, sorry!”

Meanwhile, Su Chenli—now walking alone through the complex—paused. Behind her sunglasses, her gaze turned toward the artificial lake in the center of the community.

Back when the system said it would exchange her points for a house, she had woken up in her hotel room on set and found a new address saved in her phone. Maybe the system was afraid she’d miss it—it even changed her wallpaper to a plain white screen, with the address printed in big, bold black characters:
Huaihai Road No. 422, Building 13, 10th Floor.

And so, she came here.

Now, it had been over a year since she returned to the real world.

When she first entered the small worlds, it was the middle of summer. Now, autumn had fully settled in.
She still hadn’t seen her beautiful older sister.

At first, the waiting made her anxious. But slowly, she came to terms with it—and started focusing on her work instead.

If Su Chenli could become well-known enough, then at least—when her beautiful big sister entered the real world—she’d be able to see her right away. Nowadays, Su Chenli’s magazine covers were often displayed on giant screens on the sides of buildings. As long as Pei Nanxu still remembered her face, she would know where to find her.

Su Chenli let out a soft sigh and continued walking through the neighborhood.

She had tried to contact the system again before. But the mission had ended, and their connection had been completely cut off. She had no idea how to find a high-dimensional being that only existed in her mind—especially in a life that had gone back to feeling so ordinary.
So now, all she could do was wait.

The only thing that convinced her she hadn’t just dreamed it all was this place—Building 13, 10th Floor, No. 422 Huaihai Road. Every time she wrapped up filming, she would return here. She’d cut off contact with the outside world and focus on recording everything she remembered about the woman she loved.

Jiang Youning’s appearance and preferences.
Xie Xunyu’s favorite fountain pen for signing documents.
Pei Nanxu’s favorite brand of shirts.
And more…

Su Chenli took the elevator to the tenth floor, opened the door, changed into her slippers, and sank into the couch. She picked up her tablet, unlocked the screen, and logged into Weibo as smoothly as ever. The first thing that popped up was the last page she had been on before she deactivated her account.

It was her personal homepage. The username was Huaihai Road No. 422.
All the posts were long-form stories that, when read together, felt like a novel.

The top comment on her latest post had been pushed up by likes. It was from a user she didn’t recognize, asking warmly:

【Ma’am, is there a new update today?】

Su Chenli paused, then replied simply:

【No.】

The fan replied almost instantly, as if waiting online:

【Why not, Ma’am TvT I’ve been following this story for so long. I really want to know how it ends.】

Su Chenli’s fingers hovered over the screen for a moment.

The truth was, everything she had written on Weibo was about her and Pei Nanxu. She had just polished the details and framed the three mini-worlds as three different stages of identity—writing everything she had experienced in story form.

The story had paused at the point where the two characters separated for the third time.
And now… she didn’t know how to continue.

After a moment of silence, she finally typed:

【I haven’t found her yet. I don’t know how to write the ending.】

Once she sent the reply, Su Chenli logged out of Weibo. Like the first time she had been separated from Jiang Youning, she packed away all her emotions again.

She stood up quietly, tidied the few things she hadn’t put away last time, and ordered some takeout.

While waiting for it to arrive, Su Chenli sat on the couch, zoning out, imagining what might happen if her beautiful big sister returned at different points in time.

If it was three years from now… maybe she would already be an award-winning actress.

If it was five years later, she might have gone home and taken over the family business.

And if it took ten years…
Would they even recognize each other anymore?

Just then, the doorbell rang, breaking her thoughts and pulling her back to reality.

…That was fast.
She blinked, surprised, then got up to open the door without much thought.

But standing outside wasn’t the delivery person.
It was a woman—a stranger, stunningly beautiful.

Su Chenli didn’t recognize her face, yet when she met the woman’s calm, clear eyes, a strange sense of familiarity washed over her.

It was as if…
As if…

Her fingers tightened around the doorknob.

As if this woman… was her beautiful big sister.

Pei Nanxu, now in a new identity, stood at the door. Her eyes were filled with warmth and emotion as she looked at Su Chenli, the person she had searched so long to find.

She lifted her hand slightly in greeting.

The ring Su Chenli had once given her still rested on her ring finger. Because the system’s signal had delayed her arrival, Pei Nanxu smiled softly and said:

“You don’t recognize me? …If you say you don’t, I might have to expose a certain famous actress for ghosting her girlfriend.”

Su Chenli froze.
Her eyes quickly turned red, and a tear slipped down her cheek without warning.

After waiting for so long, the person she had yearned for had finally appeared.
Su Chenli didn’t even think—she pulled Pei Nanxu into her arms.

Only when she felt the warmth of the person in her embrace did she finally believe this wasn’t just another dream. She buried her face into Pei Nanxu’s shoulder and cried uncontrollably:

“Why did you take so long… I thought I’d never see you again…”

Pei Nanxu’s heart ached. Gently, she stroked Su Chenli’s hair.

She didn’t want to see her cry, so she softly ran her fingers through Su Chenli’s hair and changed the subject with a half-smile:

“You know… all this time, I’ve had one question I’ve been wanting to ask you. We’ve been together in so many lifetimes—and now I look different again… Which version of me did you like the most?”

Su Chenli was still holding tightly onto Pei Nanxu’s waist. It took her a long moment before she finally looked up, eyes still red, her gaze full of disbelief and mild accusation.

After all this time apart—after waiting so long—Pei Nanxu’s first question was actually about which version of her Su Chenli liked best?

Pei Nanxu, never the best at changing the subject, paused and looked a little guilty as she glanced away.
“If you don’t want to answer…” she said softly.

“No,” Su Chenli replied, gripping Pei Nanxu’s hand. She was a little annoyed at how casually Pei Nanxu was treating the moment. “I’ll answer you.”

“Yeah?” Pei Nanxu blinked in surprise.

“Just kiss me and you’ll know.”
As she spoke, Su Chenli suddenly pulled Pei Nanxu toward her. Before she could react, Su Chenli had already dragged her into the apartment.

The security door slammed shut behind them with a solid bang, leaving only their figures behind it.

After a while of playful intimacy, the sky outside had darkened.
Su Chenli lay beside Pei Nanxu, looking completely satisfied, her face relaxed and full of warmth. She twirled a strand of Pei Nanxu’s hair between her fingers.

Under the same thin blanket, Pei Nanxu yawned sleepily, her eyelids drooping.

Noticing her fatigue, Su Chenli adjusted her position and hugged her a little tighter, resting her face against her chest.
“Are you sleepy?” she murmured.

“Not really. Just a little tired,” Pei Nanxu answered as she reached for the notebook sitting on the nightstand—the one she had been eyeing for a while. Her voice was a bit hoarse. “What’s this?”

Before Su Chenli could reply, Pei Nanxu saw what was written inside and fell silent.

The notebook, already more than halfway full, was filled with notes about her—what dishes she liked, her favorite desserts, her favorite perfume… every detail, no matter how small.

Su Chenli looked a little embarrassed and reached over quickly.
“It’s nothing—just something I jotted down…”

But Pei Nanxu held the notebook just out of reach. Her eyes were slightly red as she looked at Su Chenli and asked,
“Really?”

Su Chenli hesitated. Seeing Pei Nanxu’s expression, she couldn’t bring herself to lie.
“…Honestly, I was afraid I’d never see you again. I didn’t want to forget anything. That’s why I wrote it all down.”

Pei Nanxu’s heart clenched, the pain making it hard to breathe. She leaned in and kissed Su Chenli deeply.
“I’m sorry. I came too late. But from now on, I’ll never leave your side again.”

Between kisses, Su Chenli suddenly asked in a muffled voice,
“Do you have an identity in the real world now?”

Pei Nanxu leaned back slightly, parting their lips gently and catching her breath.
“Yes,” she said. “I’m teaching at the university downtown. Still a professor. Still in the chemistry department.”

It was like everything had come full circle. Pei Nanxu had become a professor again—only under a different name this time.

They both smiled knowingly, quietly understanding how far they’d come.

“But… what about you?” Pei Nanxu asked.

“What do you mean?” Su Chenli looked a little confused.

“Being an actress… you must be really busy.” Pei Nanxu said, a bit hesitant.

“It’s fine! I can step back from the spotlight,” Su Chenli laughed as she wrapped her arms tightly around her again.
“Now that you’re back—what do I need ambition for?”

Six Months Later

After two months of calm and gossip-free peace, the entertainment industry was shaken by a new trending topic:

#GoldenOrchidAwardWinnerSuChenliSecretRelationship#

Su Chenli had always been relaxed and friendly off-camera, so fans didn’t question her talent over her personal life. But what really pushed the post to the top of the hot search wasn’t the relationship itself—it was her bold response:

@SuChenliV:
“That’s right! How did you all figure out that @HuaihaiRoad422 is my secret account? You got me—it’s where I documented my love story with my fiancée! And she’s not some secret spouse. She’s my soon-to-be wife. Now that the secret’s out, I guess I can go big for the wedding, right? I’ll post red envelopes on Weibo, and everyone who grabs one has to wish me a happy marriage!”

The comment section quickly lit up:

【Wait wait wait—no one figured it out! You totally outed yourself!】

【This is the most shamelessly proud “clarification” I’ve ever seen.】

【She really wants the whole world to know, huh?】

【I don’t care what anyone says—Su-jie is the alpha of alphas!】

【Crying… this is what a real love story looks like!】

Su Chenli read through the comments with a big, satisfied smile before switching off her phone.

After three lifetimes of separation, nothing could keep them apart now.

They were going to last—forever.
