The Fake Daughter is a Max-Level Green Tea [Transmigrated into a Book] - Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Public Humiliation Scene

Lu Chaoqing was woken up by an unusual pain in her body.

The ice silk mat was cool and refreshing, and the indoor air conditioning was set to a comfortable temperature, but her abdomen and legs ached so badly they didn’t feel like her own. Waves of slight, sharp pain stripped the dream away from her consciousness, making her open her eyes instantly.

She then saw a figure lying neatly beside her with both hands folded.

The sleepiness was immediately chased away, and Lu Chaoqing jolted in shock.

“Welcome to the book world of The Real Daughter’s Counterattack. Your identity has been detected as—the vicious supporting character, Lu Chaoqing.”

The voice that appeared out of thin air in her mind made the situation even more bizarre. Lu Chaoqing subconsciously looked around, but in the dim light, she could only see the woman beside her, deep in sleep. The woman’s breathing was shallow and peaceful, clearly indicating she wouldn’t wake up anytime soon, thus ruling out her as the prankster.

“Please do not panic. I am the “Script Shredder” System 77. I will now introduce the novice guidance app to you.”

“Introduction complete. Please open your phone (Note: This app is only visible to you.)”

System 77? What is that?

After sitting on the bed and recovering for a moment, Lu Chaoqing belatedly realized that she must have transmigrated into a book, but she rarely read, so she had no idea what The Real Daughter’s Counterattack was about.

Lu Chaoqing felt a little nervous and opened the phone on the bedside table. After unlocking it with her fingerprint, a very conspicuous, book-shaped brown app appeared. Everything happening right now made her feel unbelievable, and the most frightening things were the woman sleeping next to her and the subtle aching in her thighs, which kept reminding Lu Chaoqing of certain unpleasant events.

Fingers curled around the edge of her flimsy little nightdress, Lu Chaoqing looked serious as she began browsing the app.

The app was simply named “Script.” It automatically and crudely bound her personal information. There was an avatar that looked like her selfie, followed by sections for unlockable characters and the main story map, making it look like a game.

The character “closely related” to her was marked with large text, displaying her favorability status using various colors. Although the current main story progress was “0,” the column for “Female Lead Lin Chumu” was already showing an orange warning status.

Novice Guide – Orange Favorability Warning Status: Indicates that the character’s favorability toward you is about to cross the high-risk red threshold. High-risk favorability is extremely difficult to salvage. Triggering a critical character to red is highly likely to lead to a dangerous ending.

The Real Daughter’s Counterattack was a long novel. The female lead, Lin Chumu, was decisive, beautiful, and ruthless, constantly crushing various scum men and malicious women on her way to the peak of her life—a classic model of an empowering, satisfying counterattack heroine.

But one of the targets suppressed by Lin Chumu was the fake daughter, Lu Chaoqing, who shared her name. She was even crippled and left to die miserably on the streets in the end.

The Lu family’s business specialty didn’t match the fake daughter’s hobbies. The original host’s dream was to debut as an idol, and she was currently in the training stage, preparing for an audition.

Upon seeing the words “crippled and left to die miserably on the streets,” Lu Chaoqing felt a sudden pang of fear.

“The “Script Shredder” System comes with the Script App, dedicated to helping all vicious supporting characters save themselves and forge a new life. You are a highly potential candidate selected from the vast universe. If you complete the mission, you will receive a wish as a reward!”

“Completing 100% of the main storyline and 60% of three side missions OR 100% of one side mission (choose one of the latter two) constitutes a successful mission. Lu Chaoqing, please utilize your natural advantages, defeat the real daughter using your “Tea Art” (manipulative innocence), and strive to survive!”

Ignoring the “cheerleading slogan,” which was unclear whether it was a compliment or an insult, Lu Chaoqing vaguely clicked to “Receive Main Story Mission (1).”

Ultimate Mission: Survive in the book.

Main Plot (1): Half a month ago, the Lu family unexpectedly discovered their biological daughter, Lin Chumu. However, having raised Lu Chaoqing for so many years, they still loved her more and intended to raise both daughters together.

Today is the day Lin Chumu returns. Lu Chaoqing will meet Lin Chumu for the first time tonight.

Lu Chaoqing has been pampered in the Lu family for years and feels very wronged by the sudden appearance of a “sister” from nowhere. She is determined to let her family know how good she is and plans to return home and expose Lin Chumu’s true nature as a wild girl.

Main Mission (1): Use “Green Tea” skills on Lin Chumu to make her experience an unusual emotional fluctuation. Mission completion rewards living points.

“Tea Art” was something Lu Chaoqing found easy to employ.

She quickly adjusted her mood and soon discovered that the original host looked almost exactly like her, except her hair was dyed flowing silver-grey, and her body was a bit thinner than before.

The original host hadn’t had time to go home recently due to busy training. She had an audition tomorrow. Last night, she officially finished her year-long training and subsequently indulged a bit, drinking until she blacked out.

The faint sinking feeling in her lower abdomen and the soreness in her thigh and waist muscles made Lu Chaoqing very uncomfortable, but the immense psychological pressure was more difficult to bear than the physical discomfort.

Lu Chaoqing looked back at the woman beside her and saw that her breathing was steady, and her clothes were neat and clean, forming a sharp contrast with Lu Chaoqing’s loose little nightdress and a few scratches on her skin.

Lu Chaoqing’s mood was complex.

She had never been in a relationship in her previous life, but even if she hadn’t eaten pork, she had seen pigs run. As an adult, she certainly understood the general idea of certain things.

Alcohol, messy clothes, and the traces of soreness all guided her thoughts toward an ambiguous direction. She had heard in her previous world that women and women could also…

Lu Chaoqing sat stunned on the bed for a moment, then suddenly extended her fingers and inspected them.

Her fingernails were clean without any dirt, and even had a brightly colored star-blue nail polish. This discovery left Lu Chaoqing unsure whether to be happy or worried. After taking another resentful look at the woman next to her, she quietly lifted the covers, preparing to sneak away.

The moment she took a step, a sharp pain shot through her leg, causing her to nearly stumble and fall.

Two hours later, as the sky had completely darkened, a beautiful young girl dragging a suitcase appeared at the gate of the villa complex.

Lu Chaoqing was dressed in a school-style JK uniform, her silver-grey long hair tied into pigtails at the back of her head. Her light, simple makeup highlighted her already outstanding features. The girl was born with slightly drooping puppy eyes, and her small frame and slender figure added to her overall look of innocence.

The only drawback was that her figure was slender but lacked curves, perhaps because the original host had excessively dieted for the audition debut.

Entertainment companies usually make artists moderately diet and exercise for the camera, but the original host’s current state was noticeably too thin. There was barely any fat to pinch, probably weighing only just over 90 pounds.

In contrast to the proud curves of the woman who had been lying in the bed earlier, Lu Chaoqing instantly felt a little envious.

Regarding the real daughter’s return home, the original host was busy with her career recently, so no one had told her until her mother brought it up yesterday. The original host had thrown a huge fit over it, and Lu Chaoqing even found three or four missed calls in the log, all noted as “Lin Chumu’s Mom.”

Lu Chaoqing: “…”

She found the original host’s thought process somewhat incomprehensible.

She had briefly reviewed the background story and found that this book had one unusual point compared to most real and fake daughter novels: the female lead, Lin Chumu, hadn’t suffered severe abuse in her other family, as was the usual trope.

The original host’s biological parents had died many years ago. Due to a lack of relatives capable of raising her, Lin Chumu moved into a well-off orphanage with her parents’ inheritance.

Lin Chumu had very little time with her biological parents, so their relationship wasn’t deep. She held no grudge against the couple who had merely made a mistake and mistakenly adopted the wrong child back then. Her true hatred was reserved only for the original host, who had usurped her position for years. Whether the original host was aware or not, that resentment was deeply rooted in her mind the moment she learned the truth.

Lu Chaoqing could understand Lin Chumu’s hatred for the original host, but as an outsider, she couldn’t understand where the original host’s resistance toward Lin Chumu, and even the Lu family, came from.

In any case, the Lu family had never mistreated the original host all these years. Even after learning the truth, they treated the original host even better. Lin Chumu, who should have been a rich young lady, was left to wander outside, meaning the original host had already benefited greatly.

Taking advantage of the driver parking, Lu Chaoqing opened WeChat.

Mom: “Qingqing, please be polite when you meet your sister today, okay? You are both Mommy’s daughters, and Mommy doesn’t want to see you two angry.”

A mother’s gentle plea flowed through the words. Even though Lu Chaoqing hadn’t replied at all, she wasn’t angry and instead kept rambling on with texts to explain everything. The last picture attached was a figure sitting in the lamplight. The girl’s legs were long and slender, and her expression was cold and lonely like ice.

For some reason, the moment she saw this photo, Lu Chaoqing’s heart suddenly constricted, washed over by an unspoken fear and a sense of familiar déjà vu.

“The original host’s instinctive consciousness may still linger for a few days. Please use your own discretion and do not worry too much.”

System 77 reminded her appropriately, but Lu Chaoqing felt the heart palpitation growing stronger. She could only gently rub her chest twice, then quickly replied to Lu Mom.

SUN: “I’m at the gate.”

A moment later, a tall figure pushed the door open and emerged.

A face shrouded in the flickering light of the night was hard to see clearly. A very refreshing and faint fragrance of perfume wafted toward her.

While Lu Chaoqing was still calculating how to speak without sounding awkward, an uncontrollable force suddenly appeared in her body, prompting her to rush forward abruptly.

The instant she inadvertently touched the softness in the woman’s arms, the familiar scent made Lu Chaoqing involuntarily look up. But in that one glance, time seemed to freeze.

Lu Chaoqing nearly experienced the feeling of her blood flowing backward.

Isn’t this… isn’t this the Jie Jie she slept with earlier?
