Chapter 1: Shi Er'er wields the steel pipe
Chapter 1: Shi Er'er Pulls Out a Steel Pipe
"Shi Er'er, don't waste my time."
The man sitting in the audience tapped the table, his face full of impatience. "Are you going to dance or not?"
When Shi Er'er came to her senses, she found herself standing on the stage of a VIP bar booth, dressed in a sexy bunny girl outfit next to a vertical steel pole.
It was not hard to guess that the "dance" the man was referring to was a pole dance.
This familiar scene... Was she transmigrated into a book?
Last night, she stayed up all night reading her best friend's novel, The Love of the Sea King.
The male protagonist, Gu Wenci, is a complete playboy who falls in love with the female protagonist, Ruan Qingwei, beginning an arduous journey to win her over. Because the female lead knows he is a player, she refuses to believe his sincerity. To prove his devotion, Gu Wenci torments his other "fish" (the girls leading on) in front of her, essentially saying, "Look, I don't care at all even if they destroy themselves for me."
In the end, he drives his flings to ruin—some dying and others going insane. The female lead is finally moved by his "sincerity" and they live happily ever after.
The original owner of this body was the fish who suffered the absolute worst abuse. All because Ruan Qingwei once said, "I want to see the nation's little sister, Shi Er'er, fall from grace."
Gu Wenci had then ordered the original owner to wear a bunny girl costume and perform a pole dance for him. Deeply manipulated by him, she had become completely subservient. She even learned pole dancing overnight, happily believing it was a romantic rendezvous.
In reality, Ruan Qingwei was hiding behind the one-way glass, live-streaming the entire thing on her phone. If everything went according to script, tonight's Weibo trending topic would be #Shi Er'er's pole dance seduces Gu Wenci#.
Thinking of this, Shi Er'er sighed deeply. "What a tragedy."
She should have known better than to complain that her best friend's novel was a piece of trash. Now, karma has come for her.
"Shi Er’er, my patience is limited." Gu Wenci slammed his glass onto the table with a bang, his eyes flashing a warning. "If you don't dance, I'm leaving!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Er'er beamed with joy. "Then you should hurry up and go."
Gu Wenci was stunned. "What?"
"What are you standing there for? Let's go."
"You..." Gu Wenci was taken aback, a look of hurt appearing in his eyes. "Er'er, I specifically cleared my schedule to see you. Do you really want to disappoint me?"
A hint of sadness lingered in his slender, peach-blossom eyes, his eyelashes trembling gently like a fallen deity. If the original owner were standing here, her heart would have melted.
For the past five years, this was how Gu Wenci manipulated her: a slap followed by a sweet treat, countless blows followed by a glimmer of hope. He tortured her in every way while refusing to let her go, keeping her trapped in a dark swamp just to satisfy his perverse ego.
Suddenly, a dull ache flared in Shi Er'er's chest. It was the body's conditioned reflex of sadness.
She looked up at him earnestly. "If I don't dance, you'll be disappointed, right?"
Gu Wenci nodded noncommittally.
"Good."
She reached out and grabbed the steel pipe.
Gu Wenci’s lips curled into his expected smirk, and Ruan Qingwei smiled behind the one-way glass.
But in the next second, the unthinkable happened.
[Shi Er'er pulled the steel pipe straight out of the floor!!!]
The live-stream chat exploded with comments.
In the video, Shi Er'er, dressed in her sexy bunny girl outfit, yanked a three-meter-high steel pipe out of the ground with a reverse grip and unleashed a flawless set of Shaolin staff techniques!
Ruan Qingwei's hand holding the phone began to tremble.
[Just as Lu Zhishen uprooted a willow tree in ancient times, Shi Er'er uproots a steel pipe today!]
[Hahahahahahahahahaha I'm laughing so hard I can't breathe!]
[I thought she was going to do a sexy pole dance, I thought her image was about to collapse!]
[Hasn't it collapsed? The nation's little sister is as strong as an ox?!]
In the video, Shi Er'er spun the pole through two sets of stick techniques before swinging it and cracking Gu Wenci over the head twice.
Gu Wenci, who had been sitting upright right before, suddenly slumped over and fainted cold.
[Awesome!!!]
[Ah!! My husband fainted!!]
[That steel pipe must weigh at least twenty pounds, but she handles it like a toy! The floor is literally cracked!!]
[I used to think she was too pretentious, but now I suddenly love her, hahaha!]
[Gu Wenci is unconscious!! Stop laughing and call an ambulance!!]
[Hahahaha, I'm going to follow her on Weibo right now!]
[Little sister, stop playing innocent characters. Go star in Shaolin Temple instead!]
...
Gu Wenci was rushed to the hospital. As a strong contender for Film Emperor at Cannes this year, he was highly valued by his agency. Upon hearing of his hospitalization, the company immediately dispatched its public relations and legal departments to confront Shi Er'er.
Instead of a defiant girl, they found her collapsed by the hospital bed, crying her eyes out. Tears tracked down her delicate face, making her look beautifully pitiful.
The two department heads looked at each other in bewilderment. Gu Wenci gave them a subtle wink, signaling them to step out.
"Waaaaah! I really didn't mean to!" Shi Er'er sobbed softly. She had already changed out of the bunny suit into casual clothes a kind nurse had lent her.
"You said you wanted to see me pole dance, so I searched for tutorials online. That's exactly how they taught it! Hitting you was a complete accident. You won't blame me, right?"
Gu Wenci narrowed his eyes, studying her closely. Her grief seemed genuine; it didn't look like an act.
That makes sense, he thought. She has licked my boots for five years without an ounce of dignity. How could she change overnight?
With a cold sneer, he said, "Er'er, it's rare for me to ask anything of you, and you can't even get a small thing right. I'm truly disappointed."
"I'm so sorry! Even though it's incredibly hard to learn pole dancing in a single night, that's no excuse for messing up. To punish myself, I'm going home right now to kneel down and chant prayers while beating a wooden fish!"
With that, she rushed out of the room with tears streaming down her face.
Gu Wenci's lips twitched as a metaphorical question mark formed over his head. What on earth was wrong with her today?
Seeing her leave, the two managers rushed back into the room. "Mr. Gu, something terrible has happened on Weibo! Everyone is saying there is something going on between you and Shi Er'er late at night at a bar. How should we spin this?"
Gu Wenci looked away indifferently. "Just say she tried to seduce me."
This was how he handled every exposed "fish." They loved him too deeply to ever dare contradict him.
"Understood."
Time was of the essence. The PR manager pulled out his laptop and opened Weibo to launch the clarification, only to freeze. The trending topics had completely shifted.
#Gu Wenci PUA Shi Er'er#
#Shi Er'er Audio Recording#
#Gu Wenci Demands Shi Er'er Learn Pole Dancing#
The PR manager's face went completely pale. Sensing something was wrong, Gu Wenci snatched the laptop. His heart sank at the trending searches, and his expression turned thunderous as he clicked on the top link.
There, uploaded just five minutes ago, was an audio recording posted by Shi Er'er...
