Aromatic Flesh

When she first came to this world, her original body was inside a car bound for the Shen Family’s mansion.

She had glanced at the rapidly retreating scenery from within the car’s glass window, full of shock and confusion. This world was beyond her imagination, as it was full of things she had never imagined she would ever see.

Iron boxes that allowed people to travel around quickly, towering buildings that soared through the clouds, and the pillars at the end of the road with lights flashing red, yellow, and green…

She saw people traveling on unknown tools with two wheels and many others walking down the road dressed in revealing clothes, with most of their skins exposed…

In fact, she even saw some couples walking down the streets hand-in-hand, or another one that was kissing passionately within an alley. And it was as if that was but something usual, as the passerby around them continued on their way without even a squint at their actions.

The folks in this world must be extremely open-minded. She wondered in a daze as she looked down at her own body, who was wearing a thin piece of skirt, so short that it barely covered her knees, while her entire shoulders and arms were exposed.

This world is bizarre!

The flat tone of the system sounded suddenly within Gu MingYue’s mind, shattering her chaotic thoughts.

Same as before, Gu MingYue’s body went stiff and stiff instantly. Before long, after she had read through the plot, she turned her head and began to stare out of the car window once more, though her eyes were now blurred and unfocused. She needed more time to digest and absorb the vast information she had obtained from the system.

This time, the system had given her a pleasant surprise when transmitting the story plot within her mind, it was the memories of the original body in its entire twelve years of life.

The body she had obtained this time was named Shen Yue, who was merely twelve years old. After her parents divorced, she had been living with her biological mother, who was a strong and independent woman in the business world.

However, today was the day she had officially moved into the Shen Family’s mansion together with her mother, who had remarried into the Shen Family.

The Shen Family was a celebrity in the political world, and Shen Feng, who was to be her stepfather, was the most outstanding son of the younger generation of the family. However, he was a widower, as his ex-wife had died early, leaving behind their twelve-year-old son, who had just entered the first year of high school.

And their son was the target of the mission that she could not afford to fail.

Not much plot was written about Shen Yue in the original story, but to put it simply, Shen Yue had fallen in love at first sight with her newly acquired stepbrother, who was the epitome of a prince charming, so handsome and polite.

Unfortunately, because of his late biological mother, Shen Rong detested his new stepmother, who was occupying his biological mother’s rightful claim as Madam Shen, like a cuckoo taking over someone else’s nest. Even more so towards his new stepsister, who was nothing but an extra burden to this family.

However, the new Madam Shen was a qualified and wonderful mother, who truly loved and cared for him, so much so that Shen Rong could not find fault with her at all…

Hence, with a suppressed rage and coldness left within his heart with no output, he began spilling all of his negative emotions to his younger sister, who was so beautiful and attractive even at such a young age, and hence, began the cruel bullying.

Going back to Shen Yue, even though she was detested and bullied by her stepbrother, still, she loved him dearly with a pure and unchanging heart throughout the years. Until one night, when Shen Rong returned drunk and delicious from an event at his University, Shen Yue took this as a perfect opportunity to climb into his bed. However, though they had spent a wonderful night together, his attitude towards her did not change for the better, in fact, it became worse.

Curiously, Shen Yue was not at all disheartened by this, and still firmly believed that Shen Rong would notice her deep feelings one day and reciprocate her love.

All of her hopes and dreams were shattered on the night when Shen Rong introduced his girlfriend to the family. Filled with resentment and jealousy, she resorted to all means to destroy the relationship between Shen Rong, the male lead, and the heroine.

But as the main plot goes, the male lead and the heroine bonded quickly under Shen Yue’s disturbances. Both of them eventually truly fell in love with each other and got married to each other.

Meanwhile, no longer mentally stable, Shen Yue finally committed suicide in despair on the night the two of them got engaged.

Gu MingYue reran the story plot within her mind while her brows furrowed deeply. Truthfully, she honestly felt like the male and female protagonists were a match made in heaven, while Shen Yue’s tragedy was caused entirely by herself and she did not deserve any sympathy at all… However, this was her mission, and her own thoughts and preferences did not matter, all she needed to do was to try her best to complete the task given to her..

Seated within the car years ago, she had reached up to touch her tender cheeks softly as she glanced at her reflection from the side-view mirror of the moving car. What stared back at her was a face that was still young, but it was already obvious that she would eventually grow up to be a strikingly beautiful lady.

A woman’s beauty is her most powerful advantage, and if used properly, it can often become an invincible weapon against men.

But unfortunately for her, beauty was what Shen Rong hated the most…

This beautiful and charming face would be her biggest obstacle to completing her mission…
