The Villainous Sister-in-law Mistakenly Marked as the Heroine (Transmigration) - Chapter 25.2
“Getting justice for us! The Rong family keeps saying they raised you and owe you gratitude, but have they ever respected you? When you entered the entertainment industry, did they help you at all? The aunt you admire so much is now with the person who hurt you, destroying our wedding. How does she deserve to be your aunt?”
Rong Wanning slowly lowered her head, a shadow of resentment rising in her eyes at her lover’s words.
Ji Zhao grasped her hand. “I’m not just avenging myself, I’m avenging you too.”
“Alright, I’ll follow your lead.”
On the stage,
After finishing the vows, the priest smiled warmly at the couple. “May the Lord bless this newlywed couple. Please exchange rings now.”
A flower girl approached, holding the rings.
Both reached for the other’s ring simultaneously.
Lin Qile noticed the ring was quite beautiful and couldn’t help but silently praise Rong Jing’s taste as she slid it onto her finger.
Rong Jing glanced at the ring, her expression unmoved, before picking up the other one and slipping it onto Lin Qile’s finger.
The moment the ring settled on her ring finger,
Ding!
[Congratulations, Host! Counterattack Points +10.]
!!!
Lin Qile’s eyes lit up in astonishment!
Finally, an increase!
Marrying Rong Jing actually raised her counterattack points?!
This was an unexpected windfall.
“The couple may now kiss.”
Still lost in the joy of finally earning enough points, Lin Qile didn’t even hear the priest’s words. Rong Jing frowned slightly, tugged at her collar to pull her close, and pressed her lips against hers.
“Wow~”
The crowd erupted in cheers. The usually aloof Rong Jing had actually initiated the kiss! The younger guests screamed excitedly, snapping photos.
By now, Lin Qile had snapped out of her daze, only to freeze stiffly, passively accepting the kiss.
Rong Jing nipped at her lip before releasing her.
“The ceremony is complete. The bride may now toss the bouquet.”
Many rushed forward, eager to catch it.
Rong Jing turned her back to the crowd and flung the bouquet behind her with force.
With the wedding over,
The two returned to their new home by car.
The apartment wasn’t far from Lin Qile’s university, and the convenient transportation delighted her.
It was a luxurious penthouse on the top floor of a high-end complex.
More than spacious enough for the two of them.
As soon as they entered, Lin Qile was about to compliment the place when Rong Jing casually removed her ring and tossed it onto the coffee table.
That was their wedding ring!
A real diamond!
“You!”
Never mind, never mind.
The two were in a sham marriage, so it was normal for her not to care.
She lowered her head and removed the ring from her finger. “This must be the one you bought, right? I’ll leave it on the table.”
Rong Jing turned around and saw a diamond ring placed on the coffee table. Her expression darkened even further.
Was she really that unwilling to marry her?
“Suit yourself!”
Lin Qile didn’t catch the displeasure in her tone. She walked into the living room, admiring the spacious apartment this luxury flat had to be at least 200 square meters. It was practically her dream home.
“Miss Rong, which room is mine?”
Rong Jing took a bottle of water from the fridge and leaned against the wall as she drank. At the question, she glanced at her.
Lin Qile quickly smiled and explained, “I know we’re in a fake marriage. I definitely won’t enter your bedroom without permission. I’m not picky about accommodations just give me any guest room with a window. A place this big must have a prepared guest room, right?”
“Guest room? Does a sex doll get its own room?”
She froze.
That stung.
“Go take a shower. You’re servicing me tonight.”
F*CK!
She knew this villain had no good intentions!
Grudgingly, she agreed and went to find the bathroom.
An hour later, Rong Jing, who had already finished showering in the other bathroom knocked on the master bathroom door. “If you haven’t drowned yet, get out. You’ve been in there for an hour.”
Lin Qile dragged her feet before finally opening the door.
“Can we skip tonight?”
“Why?”
“It’s… our wedding night.”
“Yeah, so?”
“Can we do it tomorrow instead?”
Logically, a fake marriage shouldn’t involve sleeping together. But she had also been forced into becoming Rong Jing’s personal sex doll, always on call to satisfy her needs.
If these two roles were separate, she’d keep them clearly distinct.
But mixed together? It was just plain awkward.
“Getting bold, are we? Daring to refuse me now?”
Rong Jing pinned her against the wall, tilting her chin up. “I take what I want, when I want it. You don’t get to refuse me. Understood?”
“Understood.”
“Hold me.”
Lin Qile shoved all inappropriate thoughts out of her mind, closed her eyes, and kissed her.
She thought the awkwardness in her heart would make the act just as stiff. But her body betrayed her against the romantic bedroom decor and their wedding photos, she surrendered to desire first.
Some things really were addictive.
“Ah! You damn dog, don’t bite me!”
Rong Jing pushed at her in annoyance, but Lin Qile pressed her onto the bed and left a full set of marks. “You told me to hold you. You should know that once I lose control, even I can’t stop myself.”
“Ah!”
By the time their reckless session ended, it was already 1:30 a.m.
Rong Jing had long since fallen into a deep sleep.
Lin Qile got up, her legs slightly unsteady. She took a deep breath and walked into the bathroom, sinking into the tub to let her body relax.
“No wonder they say, ‘Better to die under a peony than live as a ghost.’ I’ve gotten so damn lustful!”
After resting for a while, she closed her eyes.
Opening the system store, she didn’t forget her real mission.
Purchasing Rong Jing’s background information.
Instantly, countless images flooded her mind. The sudden influx of data overwhelmed her, causing dizziness.
It took her a while to recover.
“Holy hell!”
Rong Jing’s background was… complicated.
In the original story, Rong Jing had little presence in the early stages. She was the legendary powerful figure, the backbone supporting Rong Wanning, only appearing as an elder when Rong Wanning married Ji Zhao.
Rong Jing loved those dear to her niece, treating Ji Zhao with kindness and offering considerable help. Yet Ji Zhao conspired with Qi Song, one emptying the Lin family’s assets, the other scheming to steal from the Rong family.
On her 29th birthday, after Rong Yihua’s death and her mother’s divorce from Qi Song, the four, Qi Song, Bai Jiao, Rong Wanning, and Ji Zhao gathered to celebrate. That day, she discovered her mother’s true cause of death: poisoning by all four.
Her mother, her beloved niece, and the daughter-in-law she’d mentored were her mother’s murderers. In that moment, she completely snapped.
By then, Ji Zhao had already seized control of the Lin empire, making retaliation difficult. So Rong Jing sought out the original host, proposing a marriage alliance to take them down together.
Lin Qile was stunned. “System, she was always going to marry the original host?”
[Yes, Host. Your marriage was inevitable.]
“You never mentioned this before!”
[Hehe.]
In the novel, Rong Jing tried training the original host to reclaim the Lin fortune, but the host proved utterly incompetent. Forced to abandon this plan, Rong Jing pursued vengeance through increasingly ruthless means, spiraling into irreversible darkness.
After reviewing Rong Jing’s background, Lin Qile sat up, hugging her knees as she stared at the water.
“Her mother was poisoned by her own mother and mother’s lover, yet she unknowingly nurtured the murderer’s daughter, elevating her step by step. Anyone would break under that.”
[Host, stay calm! You’re the positive sunshine here meant to change this, not empathize with the villain!]
“I’m fine, just…” She pressed a hand to her chest, where an ache lingered. “My heart hurts for the Rong Jing from the original story.”
That someone as cold as Rong Jing would shield Rong Wanning by locking her in a hotel room showed genuine care. And this was how Rong Wanning and Ji Zhao repaid her.
[Host, you can stop all this.]
Her head snapped up.
Right that’s exactly why she was here!
[Since you’re making progress, I’ll give you a small hint.]
“What hint?”
[Rong Jing knows about Bai Jiao’s affair. She was also in the garden that day.]
“What?!”
She surged from the water. “If she knows, why would she marry me? I’m the daughter of her mother’s affair partner! She—”
A realization struck.
“She… she wants to use me to infiltrate the enemy? System! System!”
Silence.
“Don’t play dead! You started this, give me more!”
[No can do, Host. Want more info? Keep completing tasks. The more you do, the higher my clearance, the more I can reveal.]
“Fine.”
Exiting the bath, she returned to bed, watching Rong Jing sleep. The woman in the novel, betrayed by everyone she trusted, had bloodied her hands for vengeance.
While dragging her enemies to hell, she’d fallen with them.
Someone with such a bright future beautiful, brilliant, privileged reduced to this.
But it was ruined by those people.
She reached out to brush away the stray hairs on her face and murmured softly, “It’s not your fault.”
Rong Jing drowsily opened her eyes and, seeing the face so close to hers, scrunched up her little face like a bun. “Go away, I’m so tired.”
“I didn’t do anything.”
Rong Jing curled into her arms, her voice thick with sleep. “So cold…”
“You’re so warm.”
Warm, soft, and smooth.
Probably still shaken by Rong Jing’s earlier information, her pheromones were a bit unstable as she positioned Rong Jing in her favorite embrace.
So aloof and distant during the day, yet now so obedient, letting herself be arranged, lips slightly swollen.
“Rong Jing.”
“Mmm…”
The dazed woman had an unusual allure that made her heart itch.
They were legally married now was she just going to let Rong Jing treat her like a doll?
“Just one kiss.”
Lin Qile lowered her head and captured those lips.
So sweet.
One more kiss.
And another…
Half-asleep, Rong Jing muttered, “You jerk… what are you doing?”
Lin Qile grinned. “Our wedding night, Miss High-and-Mighty.”
The room filled with lingering warmth…
