Chapter 834: Fu Mingxiu’s Substitute Lover in the Original Book
Editor: Henyee Translations
[Gu Yang, I have dirt on Tiansheng Media…]
This was the first time Gu Yang had seen such a message. Previously, she had only received fans’ confessions, haters’ curses, and scam advertisements.
Curious, Gu Yang clicked on it.
The unknown number had likely sent her many messages because they couldn’t reach her by phone.
All the messages had been intercepted.
Gu Yang scrolled to the top and began reading:
[Gu Yang, I’m Yan Xi.]
[Tiansheng Media’s trainee who has been riding on your popularity and marketing a look-alike.]
[I’m sorry for causing you trouble. I’m really sorry.]
[I also want to end the situation of being controlled by the company, but unfortunately, when I was young, my mother was deceived by the management company and signed a ten-year contract. The penalty for breach of contract is sky-high. I can’t escape it with my own ability.]
[I need your help.]
[I have some exclusive information about Tiansheng Media that no one else knows about. Evidence is being gathered.]
[While I can’t promise to bring down Tiansheng Media, if your company handles it well, it could severely damage them.]
[I’m also in the capital. If you’re interested, we can meet to discuss and make a deal.]
[Here’s my ID photo to prove I’m Yan Xi herself—[Yan Xi]jpg.]
[If you see this and are willing to meet, please reply.]
[I got your contact through someone else. I apologize for the deception and any inconvenience caused to your friend.]
These messages had been sent a month ago, while Gu Yang was still undergoing military training.
Since she hadn’t responded, Yan Xi had sent numerous follow-up messages.
Gradually, the frequency of messages decreased, though Yan Xi would still send reminders every few days about the information on Tiansheng Media.
Yan Xi likely suspected her messages were being blocked.
Had Gu Yang not stumbled upon this now, she might have forgotten about Yan Xi altogether.
Previously, her friends in the No.1 Middle School Group had discussed it in their chat. Qiao Manman had also brought it up. However, once they became busy with military training, they had no time to follow entertainment news, so it wasn’t mentioned again.
As she looked over the information, memories of a plot she had nearly forgotten resurfaced.
In the original novel, Fu Mingxiu had fallen in love with the protagonist and used a substitute to coerce her into becoming his lover.
That substitute had become pregnant.
Upon discovering this, the protagonist, who had always treated Fu Mingxiu as a backup option, prevented him from getting close to other women but also manipulated him into forcing the substitute to undergo an abortion.
She had only read half of the novel. The friends from the No.1 Middle School Group had stood against the formidable “Big Shot Sister” on behalf of the original protagonist, resulting in mostly unhappy endings.
Fu Mingxiu’s fate had been briefly mentioned: his repeated defiance of “Big Shot Sister” had led to his family’s financial ruin.
As for the substitute lover, she was barely mentioned in the main text. Described only as poor and bearing a resemblance to Gu Yang.
In the original novel, Gu Yang never appeared on variety shows or gained internet fame, so Minor Gu Yang and Yan Xi naturally didn’t exist.
Gu Yang speculated that Yan Xi might correspond to the substitute lover in the original storyline.
However, the narrative had already taken a different direction. Gu Yang couldn’t be certain whether Fu Mingxiu and Yan Xi would cross paths according to the plot’s influence.
Nevertheless, as long as she didn’t treat Yan Xi as poorly as the original did, Yan Xi shouldn’t suffer the same misery as her counterpart in the original novel.
