[Quick Transmigration] The Clingy Spirit of the Blackened Male Supporting Character - Chapter 144

The sound of firecrackers echoed outside. Through the window, lively scenes could be seen outside. Inside, red cloth hung and red “double happiness” characters were pasted on it.

Luo Ning opened his eyes and saw red everywhere. Lifting the veil from his head, he glanced around. Was this a wedding? But why was he, a man, wearing a red veil? Was he getting married?

As a flurry of questions came to him, Luo Ning sensed something was off. He urged the system to receive the background of this world.

It turned out to be a unique ancient background with three genders: men, women, and a third category called ‘gers.’ Men were responsible for providing for the family, while both women and gers could marry and have children. But since women were relatively fewer in number, they held a slightly higher status than gers.

The original owner was a ger from an ordinary family in Xinghua Village, the youngest son of the Luo family. Because he wasn’t as popular as his sweet-talking older sister, he had the least presence in the family. His parents favored his sister more.

Two years ago, his sister Luo Qing fainted on the mountain. It was the village butcher, Xie Chunian, who carried her down. The villagers gossiped and spread rumors. In a moment of impulsiveness, Luo Qing’s father insisted on an engagement between the two. He believed that since Xie Chunian was a butcher, he could provide a good life for his daughter after marriage. Luo Qing’s father was determined to have him as a son-in-law. Both Luo Qing’s father and mother chased after Xie Chunian for an explanation. Since Xie Chunian was of marriageable age, he eventually agreed.

What should have been a happy event ended up in disaster. Due to the outbreak of swine fever, many farmers lost their pigs. Xie Chunian’s career as a butcher suffered a setback. Without pork to sell, he could no longer continue his work.

In the eyes of the villagers, if Xie Chunian stopped being a butcher, he would be just another mud-legged villager—actually, worse than that.

Although Xie Chunian had made money as a butcher, he had borrowed a considerable sum when his mother fell ill, and he still had to repay the debts every month. Plus, since he had no fertile land in the village, without selling pork, he had no advantages at all.

The Luo family began to worry. They were worried that their eldest daughter would suffer if she married into such a situation. Just as the wedding approached, Luo Qing found true love and refused to go through with the marriage.

Not wanting to return the betrothal gifts, the Luo family decided to marry off their youngest son instead. Since gers were expected to marry anyway, it didn’t really make a difference who he wed.

Thus, the original owner cried and sobbed, having a huge fight with Xie Chunian that night. And the next day, Luo Qing was reborn. Remembering that her so-called true love was a scumbag and the butcher she looked down upon turned out to be a good husband, Luo Qing gritted her teeth in hatred. She regretted having missed out on a good match. She resolved to live well in this life, to make amends with Xie Chunian, and to be a qualified wife.

At the same time, Luo Qing also hated the original owner, seeing him as a stumbling block. She schemed to ruin his reputation, lured him to jump into the river, and then took on a comforting role beside Xie Chunian, hoping to enter his heart while he was vulnerable.

However, Xie Chunian never accepted Luo Qing’s affections. Driven to desperation, Luo Qing turned her love into hate, causing Xie Chunian’s death. With the halo of the reborn female protagonist, she flourished in business and eventually married the richest man in the world.

Luo Ning couldn’t believe that someone like this black lotus could be the protagonist, who would stop at nothing to get what she wanted. If she couldn’t have it, she would simply destroy it. Did she think the whole world had to bend to her will? Anyone who didn’t cater to her was wrong? How twisted was that worldview?

This time, Xie Chunian was his target. He had merely rejected the female protagonist’s advances and was framed and killed as a result. Anyone would feel wronged in his situation.
