Chapter 2 About the Ex-Husband

Rather than making an atheist believe in such an unscientific thing as time travel, it's better to make her believe she's been kidnapped into the Truman Show by a pervert. When she first arrived in this world, she couldn't even believe the reality of everything around her. She lay on the sofa for a long time, mentally preparing herself before rushing into the bathroom of this house—in case she was being watched, the bathroom, representing privacy, was, in her subconscious, the only place that might be safe! When she saw herself in the mirror, her already cold heart turned completely cold.

It wasn't her face! She rubbed it frantically a few times, confirming it was definitely her real face. Dejected, she squatted down on the ground. That face from her past life, the one that would be easily lost in a crowd, might have to say goodbye to her forever.

Despite being a hardcore internet addict, her greatest strength is her strong mental fortitude! As her friends say, she's carefree and never gets tired of anything! Now, she can only console herself that compared to her previous life as a struggling online music critic, paying off a mortgage in a third-tier city, this is pretty good too.

Although she didn't recognize many of the logos in the house—after all, the poor breathe differently than the rich—she searched the entire room relentlessly. After confirming there were no cameras, she finally managed to piece together the original owner's information using the memories remaining in her mind.

Whether parallel universes truly exist or not, she and the original owner of this body share the same name, Shi Shi. The original owner perfectly exemplifies the saying "a prodigy's life needs no explanation." She skipped a grade in middle school, participated in a summer camp in high school, and won a national-level gold medal for youth literature. She was admitted to university without taking the entrance exam, received scholarships for three consecutive years, and achieved such outstanding grades that she was recommended for graduate school. After successfully graduating this year, she pursued the same profession as her father, joining the ranks of university professors. However, Shi Shi studies Chinese language and literature, while her father is a professor of composition.

In Shi's mother's words, Old Shi has been completely outclassed by Little Shi. Keep in mind, Shi Shi is a graduate student at Kyoto University! Shi's father works at a music academy that's only in the top 50 globally. Shi Shi's school, however, is in the top three! If Fu Zhixu and Shi Shi hadn't been high school classmates, he would never have been able to get close to her. Different circles, incompatible! Speaking of her ex-husband, she couldn't help but sigh, "He must be the tragic, handsome male supporting character from a novel." Fu Zhixu originally came from a warm, middle-class family. But when he was four years old, he was kidnapped by heartless human traffickers because his mother lost him while taking him grocery shopping. Therefore, his ex-mother-in-law was constantly consumed by guilt. It took about six or seven years for her in-laws to gradually accept the reality and have a second child.

But the world seemed to have played a cruel joke on the Fu family. Just as they were celebrating their second child's one-month birthday, they received a call from the police informing them that their missing eldest child might have been found and that they should come to reunite with their family.

Shishi didn't know what Fu Zhixu had gone through all those years. But she had seen with her own eyes the scars on his private parts. When he returned, dark and thin, he found that his parents had given birth to a chubby, fair-skinned younger brother. She wondered what he was thinking.

The couple had been married for three years and had very little contact with her in-laws. If it weren't for the elderly couple providing the 4 million yuan down payment for their wedding, she would have assumed Fu Zhixu had some hidden background. As for his younger brother, she had never heard Fu Zhixu mention him, not even once.
