The Possessive Villain Is Too Clingy [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 1

Beneath the intricate sparkle of crystal chandeliers, a group of eighteen- and nineteen-year-old boys and girls raised their glasses in a grand banquet hall.

Tonight was the graduation prom of Haicheng International High School, and the wealthy young heirs and heiresses had all dressed to impress.

The boys donned suits, styling themselves as mature gentlemen, while the girls wore luxurious gowns of every color and design.

The host stood on stage, adjusting his small bow tie before leaning toward the microphone. “Next up, please welcome our special guest today, the triple-threat star of film, television, and music, Ye Zhixia, who will perform a song for us!”

Ye Zhixia shimmered in a silver-white mermaid dress adorned with tiny diamonds, accentuating her graceful curves.

Her delicate, sculpted profile left the students below the stage in awe.

Once she settled beside the standing microphone, she adjusted the stand slightly higher.

With her left hand, she swept her smooth, raven-black hair behind her ear before nodding to the sound engineer on the left side of the stage.

Her melodious voice filled the banquet hall, enchanting everyone in attendance.

After finishing the song, Ye Zhixia bowed to the audience and descended the stage amid applause. She picked up a glass of champagne and made her way to the edge of the hall, quietly observing a strikingly beautiful girl in the crowd.

Beside Ye Zhixia appeared a palm-sized black-and-white cat her personal system, invisible to others.

She communicated with it telepathically: Xiao Mi, scan the target’s food for any abnormalities.

Xiao Mi flapped its black wings, circling in the air before responding: Understood, Minister Ye!

Ye Zhixia was a world administrator for the Quick Transmigration Management Bureau, assigned to the Villain Salvation Department.

Her previous missions involved traveling to various worlds to pacify the anger of villains, helping them genuinely accept their defeats and start anew.

After her last mission concluded, a reshuffling within the bureau led to her promotion as the new head of the Villain Salvation Department.

This time, the task was more challenging than before, she had to alter the fate of a doomed villain, ensuring they could live a happy and fulfilling life.

In this world, the protagonists were actress Xu Miaomiao and Chu Xiao, the eldest son of the Chu Group.

Meanwhile, the second daughter of the Chu family, Chu Ning, was the villain, the one Ye Zhixia needed to save and protect.

Chu Ning was the only daughter of the Chu family, deeply cherished by the family patriarch.

Yet, her mother’s early death became the turning point in her once-happy life.

From then on, misfortune struck her relentlessly, she was violated by a grotesque stranger, her younger brother died under mysterious circumstances, and she was later kidnapped. Only after her grandfather paid an exorbitant ransom was she rescued.

By then, Chu Ning had already lost both her lower legs.

Fortunately, her grandfather shielded her, preventing the Chu family from sending her to a nursing home.

But she had lost her mind withdrawn, volatile, prone to screaming at others.

When the female lead appeared at a Chu family banquet, she collapsed from poisoning, and all evidence pointed to Chu Ning as the culprit.

The male lead flew into a rage and declared, “If anything happens to Miaomiao, I’ll kill you myself!”

In the end, the female lead recovered, and the male lead “mercifully” settled for sending Chu Ning to a psychiatric hospital.

As a disabled woman, Chu Ning became the lowest in the hospital’s hierarchy, bullied by everyone.

Three years later, she passed away, her body covered in wounds and her heart drowned in despair.

In the Chu residence, the already frail Old Master Chu, who had been worrying about his granddaughter, also passed away from grief following Chu Ning’s death.

At the joint funeral of the grandfather and granddaughter, no one shed a tear.

Everyone believed Old Master Chu was merely a senile old man who indulged his wicked granddaughter, aiding and abetting her evil deeds. As for Chu Ning, she was seen as a naturally cruel and malicious person.

Now that both were dead, the Chu family could finally look forward to better days.

Amidst the scorn and curses of all, Old Master Chu and Chu Ning bid farewell to this world.

At the end of the story, the male and female leads inherited the Chu family’s billions, had two sons and two daughters, and lived a blissful life until the end.

When Ye Zhixia first read the plot, she felt immense sympathy for Chu Ning.

Chu Ning’s later misdeeds stemmed from the trauma of her fall from grace in the first half of her life. She should have been able to study, work, enjoy her grandfather’s love, and live happily ever after.

Ye Zhixia resolved to change Chu Ning’s fate.

By the time this story begins, Chu Ning’s mother had already been dead for many years.

The earliest moment Ye Zhixia could intervene to alter Chu Ning’s fate was at this graduation ball.

At the ball, Chu Ning drank too much champagne and, in her unconscious state, was dragged away by a middle-aged, balding man who had sneaked into the event.

If the incident had ended there, the Chu family might still have found a way to punish the perpetrator while keeping the matter under wraps.

But the next day, marketing accounts on Weibo suddenly flooded the platform with posts titled “Chu Group Heiress Spends Night in Hotel with Middle-Aged Man,” accompanied by photos.

The overwhelming coverage ruined Chu Ning’s reputation.

Left with no choice, the Chu family sent her abroad to study, despite her having already been admitted to a top university, just to avoid the scandal.

Ye Zhixia decided then and there to tackle the problem at its root by rescuing Chu Ning at the ball.

Xiao Mi carefully scanned Chu Ning’s surroundings and reported to Ye Zhixia: [Host, there are no traces of drugs in Chu Ning’s drinks or desserts, but her wine has a much higher alcohol content than the others.]

Ye Zhixia took a small sip of her champagne and understood.

No wonder she got so drunk on champagne Chu Ning’s misfortune was clearly no accident.

She then ordered Xiao Mi: [Use the Time Reversal tool to see who gave her that drink.]

Xiao Mi immediately realized Ye Zhixia suspected foul play but hesitated: [We only have three Time Reversal tools left. Are you sure you want to use one?]

Ye Zhixia glanced at Xiao Mi: [We can exchange for more with points after leaving this minor world.]

Xiao Mi closed its eyes in meditation.

A minute later, it opened its eyes and said dejectedly: [She took it herself.]

Unlike Xiao Mi, Ye Zhixia wasn’t disappointed. She instructed Xiao Mi to scan Chu Ning’s glass again.

After doing so, Xiao Mi suddenly grew excited: [You were right, Xiaxia! There are faint, almost imperceptible lily patterns on Chu Ning’s glass. And lilies are her favorite flower! Someone must have set her up!]

Then, toning down its excitement, Xiao Mi stroked its chin in puzzlement: [But who would know Chu Ning’s preferences so well and manage to slip this glass into the banquet unnoticed?]

This time, Ye Zhixia didn’t respond. She simply frowned in deep thought, quietly observing Chu Ning, who was already quite tipsy.

Nearby, a group of young girls huddled together, holding their glasses as they approached.

“Sister Zhi Xia, we’re all your fans! Your acting is amazing. That movie ‘Love of a Millennium’ you announced this year is definitely going to win awards!” a delicate-looking girl exclaimed excitedly.

Several other girls chimed in, “Yeah, yeah! You’ve got this, sis!”

A friendly smile appeared on Ye Zhi Xia’s face as she thanked them and wished them success in their studies.

While she was chatting with the girls, a middle-aged, balding man dressed in waiter attire sneaked into the banquet hall and began guiding the heavily intoxicated Chu Ning outside.

The Rui Hua Hotel, where the banquet was held, was the only seven-star luxury hotel in Haicheng. All the waitstaff, regardless of gender, were tall and attractive.

This bald, middle-aged “waiter” clearly stood out in such an environment. The fact that he had managed to bypass multiple layers of security and whisk Chu Ning away under everyone’s noses was highly suspicious.

But Ye Zhi Xia wasn’t in a hurry to investigate the man’s background. For her, the priority was to personally rescue Chu Ning only then could she establish a connection with her in the future.

Ye Zhi Xia quickly bid farewell to her little fans, “Sorry, girls, I need to step out for a bit. Wishing you all a happy graduation!”

The fans replied politely, “Goodbye, Sister Xia Xia!”

–

Outside the banquet hall, Ye Zhi Xia, accompanied by Xiao Mi, followed the middle-aged man into the elevator.

The first thing the man did upon entering was remove his waiter’s jacket and bowtie, leaving only a plain white shirt. He then bundled up the discarded clothes and held them at his side while continuing to support the barely conscious Chu Ning with his other hand.

Ye Zhi Xia pressed the button for the seventh floor and asked casually, “Which floor are you heading to?”

The man replied with difficulty, “Also the seventh floor.”

Pretending to make small talk, Ye Zhi Xia remarked, “Kids these days really don’t know their limits with alcohol, huh? Must be tough for you.”

The man’s eyes darted around as he put on an ingratiating smile. “Well, that’s just part of the job in the service industry.”

Ye Zhi Xia smiled politely. “Need any help?”

The man quickly declined, “Oh no, I couldn’t trouble a guest. I’ll just take her to her room.”

Ye Zhi Xia didn’t press further but mentally noted the inconsistencies in his behavior and words.

A high-end hotel like this would never allow a male waiter to escort a drunk female guest to her room.

From the original plot, she already knew Chu Ning was being taken to Room 7013, so she had booked Room 7014 in advance.

After exiting the elevator, Ye Zhi Xia swiftly entered Room 7014, dashed to the balcony, and agilely climbed over to the balcony of 7013. Under the cover of darkness, she slipped inside and hid behind the curtains.

Before long, the man carried Chu Ning into the room, turned on the lights, and dumped her onto the bed.

With his back turned to her, Ye Zhi Xia struck swiftly, a precise chop to the back of his neck.

The man collapsed, unconscious.

Xiao Mi, fluttering nearby, cheered, “Our Xia Xia was the martial arts alliance leader in the last world! Take that, you stinky baldy!”

A faint smirk curled Ye Zhi Xia’s lips as she ordered, “Lock him up in the dimensional prison. I’ll deal with him after handling things here.”

Xiao Mi circled the man once, and his body gradually vanished.

Staring at Chu Ning, lying quietly on the bed, Ye Zhi Xia froze for three seconds.

Her heart always held a familiar yet aching feeling toward Chu Ning, as if they had known each other before.

Chu Ning was wearing a princess-style gown with a wide skirt today, complete with a hoop skirt underneath.

To tuck her in, Ye Zhixia had to remove the hoop skirt but left the rest of her outfit intact.

Xiao Mi was also curious about the room. It first flew into the bathroom to look around, then used its paws to open the mini-fridge.

Suddenly, it shrieked: 【Wow! There’s Coke here! Xiaxia, I want…】

Ye Zhixia stood up, glanced at Xiao Mi, and said gently, “Go ahead, you little glutton.”

Then she added, “Take your time. I’m going to rest first.”

With that, she walked to the other side of the large bed, lifted the covers, and slipped in.

After finishing a can of Coke, Xiao Mi folded its wings and shrank from its miniature size to that of an ordinary cat, curling up beside Ye Zhixia’s pillow.

The morning sunlight spilled over Chu Ning’s eyelids. She raised a hand to block the golden light and slowly opened her eyes.

Her vision gradually sharpened. She first looked toward the balcony, but the glaring sun forced her to turn her head the other way.

A breathtakingly beautiful yet striking face was suddenly mere inches from hers.

Ye Zhixia’s skin was flawless, her hair carrying a faint scent of champagne and jasmine.

Chu Ning’s gaze lingered on Ye Zhixia’s delicate pink lips, sending ripples through her heart.

Her exhaled breath brushed lightly against Ye Zhixia’s cheek, the coolness rousing the other woman from sleep.

Ye Zhixia’s long lashes fluttered twice before she lifted her eyelids, meeting Chu Ning’s dewy eyes.

After a moment of clarity, she calmly propped herself up on one arm and looked down at the still-stunned Chu Ning, her voice laced with drowsiness: “Awake, Miss Chu?”

The strands of hair that fell against Chu Ning’s neck finally snapped her out of her daze. She studied the woman carefully.

When Chu Ning fully registered the face before her, she jolted awake was she sharing a bed with the superstar Ye Zhixia?!

She immediately threw back the covers to check her own body. Only after confirming that her clothes were the same as before she’d lost consciousness the night before did she relax, exhaling deeply as she pulled the blanket back over herself.

Ye Zhixia observed her series of actions, then sat up properly, lifting her side of the blanket to reveal her own gown and blazer. “Don’t worry,” she said gently. “My attire is also perfectly intact.”

Before Chu Ning could ask, Ye Zhixia thoughtfully recounted the events of the previous night: “You drank too much yesterday and were helped upstairs by a male waiter, just as I happened to see. Since you were a young woman with no one to look after you, I stayed in your room.”

She deliberately emphasized the word “male.”

Chu Ning eyed Ye Zhixia warily, staying silent. She needed time to process everything.

But Ye Zhixia had one last thing to do.

“Come, Miss Chu, let’s take a photo together. I need to show my manager proof that I didn’t sneak out for fun.”

Chu Ning hurriedly declined, “My makeup must be a mess right now.”

Ye Zhixia’s tone softened. “Then just cover your face. Help me prove I was just doing a good deed.”

With that, she raised her phone.

Chu Ning quickly weighed the situation. Ye Zhixia had an impeccable reputation domestically, so taking a photo with her shouldn’t pose any risks. Obediently, she covered her face with her hands, peeking out through her fingers with fox-like eyes.

After snapping the photo, Ye Zhixia picked up Xiao Mi, who was still sound asleep by the pillow, and bid Chu Ning farewell. Before leaving, she added cryptically, “You’ll thank me later.”

Assuming Ye Zhixia was hinting at a gesture of gratitude, Chu Ning hurriedly expressed her thanks, “Thank you for taking care of me.”

Ye Zhixia merely smiled without responding, cradling Xiao Mi as she turned to leave.

Chu Ning watched as Ye Zhixia and the black-and-white cat in her arms disappeared behind the closing door. Only then did she open the small handbag beside her pillow, retrieving her phone, which had run out of battery, and plugged it in to charge.

After a brief wait of about ten seconds, the phone automatically powered on. A flood of notifications buzzed incessantly, making her palm tingle.

Opening the QQ group chat, she found the usually silent class group exploding with activity:

Ding Ding Ding Ding: Chu Ning is really something. While the rest of us were just drinking at graduation, she went straight to a hotel with some bald guy.

Jiangnan Xiaoxin: Where? Where?

Ding Ding Ding Ding: It’s literally the top trending topic on Weibo. Haven’t you seen it?

Osmanthus Honey: At this point, probably the entire country has seen it~ Living it up in a seaside suite, wild as can be~

Messages continued to pour in. Chu Ning’s palms grew clammy, and she couldn’t bear to read further.

She hastily opened Weibo to check the situation.

The top trending hashtags glared back at her [Chu Family Heiress], [Middle-Aged Man].

Her fingers trembled as she tapped into the trending topic. The highest-ranked post carried the tag:

#Chu Group Heiress Spends Night in Hotel with Middle-Aged Man#

Accompanying the post were several photos of a middle-aged man helping her into the room.

Chu Ning’s mind buzzed violently. She strained to recall the events of the previous night, vaguely remembering being led out of the banquet hall by someone while barely conscious…

Her entire body felt numb and swollen, but she forced herself to stay calm.

With shaky fingers, she returned to the homepage. Gossip-loving netizens often treated these “illustrated narratives” as irrefutable proof. She could already imagine the state of the comments section.

Then, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed many of her mutual followers on Weibo had liked posts about her scandal.

The phone screen dimmed, yet new messages in the group continued to pop up relentlessly.
