Chapter 1 Transmigrated into a Novel

The icy lake water rushed forth from all directions and poured into Jiang Ran’s mouth and nose uncontrollably, waking her up from an exhausted sleep.

Jiang Ran didn't understand what she was going through, and her body instinctively began to struggle.

However, the tattered cotton padded jacket on her body was weighed down by the lake water, causing her to sink to the bottom of the water.

What happened? Shouldn't I be in the dormitory? Could someone have thrown me into the artificial lake behind the dormitory while I was asleep?

Won’t I die? At this rate, I’ll definitely die!

The girl tried her best to hold her breath. She pulled off the restraints on her body in a panic, and tried to swim to the surface of the water with her last strength.

The lake above Jiang Ran’s head was dark like a thick curtain, and no light could be seen. After depleting the last of her strength, she still could not reach the water surface to get fresh air. Jiang Ran’s strength finally gave out. She exhaled the last breath, and sank to the bottom of the water.

There was a soft splash, and a white shadow swam towards her. At the last moment before she lost unconsciousness, a hand reached out and grabbed her wrist.

"Cough, cough!" The cold air rushed into Jiang Ran’s lungs. She subconsciously raised her hand to cover her mouth, coughing up tears.

"You're awake." A voice beside Jiang Ran said coldly, "I thought you were dead."

Jiang Ran opened her eyes in a daze. She saw a small wooden hut that was ventilated on all sides, and she was lying on a wooden board without any bedding. A girl with a high ponytail stood at the door a few steps away.

The girl had delicate eyebrows and eyes, but the disgust in her eyes was blatant, making her look a little mean.

“You...” Jiang Ran struggled to sit up. "Who are you? "

Wasn't I supposed to be looking for information in the dormitory to prepare for the debate tomorrow? What is the situation now? Why would I appear in such a place? Also, I’m wet and dripping with water. Wasn’t it a dream that I fell into the water just now?

"You actually asked who I am?" The girl covered her mouth and giggled as if she had heard some hilarious joke. "Jiang Ranran, did you lose your mind after falling into the water?"

The ominous feeling became stronger. Jiang Ran asked hoarsely, "What did you call me?"

"You, Jiang Ranran!" The girl pointed at Jiang Ran with a finger, and then at herself. "I’m Yi Xi. Have you really forgotten?”

Jiang Ran, "..." Wait, did I hear it correctly? Who did this girl say I am? Jiang Ranran? What did this girl call herself? Yi Xi?

Jiang Ran lay back on the wooden board again, raised her hand to cover her eyes and muttered, "I must have become too obsessed with reading novels. Wake up now, wake up now! Yes, this must be a dream. It’ll be fine once I wake up..."

Yi Xi didn't hear what Jiang Ran was muttering about. Yi Xi tucked her stray hair behind her ear and said impatiently, "Since you're awake, I'm going back to report to Captain Xie and Captain Luo."

After taking two steps, Yi Xi looked back at the girl lying motionless on the wooden board. She hesitated for a moment before she said, "Jiang Ranran, don’t mind me for reminding you. Xie Chengzhi has already chosen Luo Rui. No matter how much you do for him, you’re just a clown in his eyes. Stop wasting your efforts."

The girl's tone was sarcastic. Jiang Ran obviously knew nothing about Xie Chengzhi, but she still felt a dull pain in her heart.

Jiang Ran placed her hand over her chest and sat up slowly. Xie Chengzhi? Oh, he was the hero of the original novel. At the thought of this, Jiang Ran couldn't help but complain inwardly. It's bad enough to have transmigrated into a novel, but why must I become one of the numerous female supporting characters who is not even the main female supporting character?

The original character, Jiang Ranran, was a sophomore in Shenmu City. Because of her outstanding looks, she got noticed by the hero, Xie Chengzhi, and became his girlfriend. Subsequently, the disaster broke out, and Xie Chengzhi fled with Jiang Ranran. Jiang Ranran's family was wealthy, and she had been living a pampered life since she was a child. She could not take care of her daily life while they were fleeing. Although she tried her best to help, it always backfired, and she became a hindrance.

Just when Xie Chengzhi was about to give up on Jiang Ranran, he met the heroine, Luo Rui.

As a superhuman with wood-type abilities, Luo Rui was gentle, kind, virtuous, generous, strong, and brave... In short, Xie Chengzhi soon fell deeply in love with Luo Rui, and completely cast Jiang Ranran aside.

As an ordinary person, Jiang Ranran, who had no right to speak, did not dare to say anything about her boyfriend's betrayal. She risked her life to save Luo Rui several times so that she could follow Xie Chengzhi.

Jiang Ran remembered that Jiang Ranran fell into the water this time because she was helping Luo Rui to lure a group of zombies away. Fortunately, Xie Chengzhi rescued Jiang Ranran, or she would be dead now.

At the thought of this, Jiang Ran sighed softly. Jiang Ranran might have saved Luo Rui out of selfishness, but in any case, she had saved Luo Rui several times. However, on the way to the Xiling Base, Luo Rui didn't speak up for Jiang Ranran when the villain boss took a fancy to Jiang Ranran and took her away by force.

All of Jiang Ranran's scenes ended here. It was only briefly mentioned at the end of the novel that after Luo Rui killed the villain boss, “the crazy girl raised by him committed suicide" to tell readers Jiang Ranran's ending.

Jiang Ranran committed suicide in the end... and went crazy at the villain’s side... Jiang Ran sighed again. Why must she transmigrate into an apocalypse novel? She had read so many Mary Sue novels! Didn't she deserve to experience a wonderful life with all kinds of good-looking men? How horrible!

"Ranran!" When Jiang Ran was complaining, sounds of a girl's footsteps approaching quickly were heard. The person opened the door and stared at Jiang Ran with big eyes. "Ranran, it's great that you’re fine!"

Luo Rui... a name automatically popped up in Jiang Ran’s mind. Jiang Ran silently sized up Luo Rui who was crying so hard.

"Ranran, thank you for saving me." Luo Rui squatted in front of Jiang Ran, reaching out to hold her hand. However, she withdrew her hand calmly after seeing Jiang Ran’s pale complexion, and continued to wipe her tears. "I told Chengzhi that if you died, I’d definitely die of guilt."

"Luo Rui." Ignoring the girl's tears and apology, Jiang Ran hugged her arms tightly and said in a low voice, "I'm cold. Are there any clothes that I can change into?"

Since Jiang Ran fell into the water, no one had changed her wet clothes for her. It was totally pure luck that she didn't freeze to death.

"Well..." Luo Rui said earnestly with reddened eyes, "Ranran, you too know the rules of our team. You have no contribution value now, so our team can't provide you with extra clothes."

Luo Rui said it matter-of-factly. The corners of Jiang Ran’s mouth twitched. Jiang Ran stared at the heroine and didn't respond immediately.

So, even though Jiang Ranran lured a group of zombies away so that Luo Rui could lead the team here safely, it wasn’t considered a contribution? How interesting.

"But Luo Rui, the team could evacuate because I lured the group of zombies away. Isn't that considered a contribution?" Jiang Ran asked slowly in a flat tone, "Then what kind of action is considered a contribution to the team?"

"Lured the group of zombies away?" Luo Rui showed a hesitant expression. "Everyone thought that you got lost and fell into the lake..."

"Lost?" Jiang Ran raised her eyebrows, "Luo Rui, I fell into the lake because I was lost——you told those people that?" Only Luo Rui knew the reason why she fell into the lake. What a pity.
