"Did he hit his head somewhere? Or someone poisoned him, resulting in the loss of memory" Arthur glanced at Alaric, his eyebrows furrowed in displeasure. " He fainted after drinking the tea, right? Is the tea poisoned?"
Alaric flinched. His Master looked at him with a suspicious gaze as if blaming him for the Madam's strange condition.
The boy anxiously shook his head.
"Master, the guard had tested the tea. There's nothing inside it. It is a normal Jasmine tea."
" Then, why is he like this?" He gestured his hand toward him.
Alaric once again vehemently shook his head. He showed an expression of "This servant didn't have any idea why Madam acted like this."
"Doctor, what do you think happened to my spouse?" Arthur asked the young doctor beside him. When the oblivious doctor didn't respond to his inquiry, he kicked the man's shin as hard as possible. There was no trace of a guilty conscience on his face. He smirked when he heard the man's agonized scream.
"Ouch, Art! What are you doing?! It hurt, damn it!" Kai grunted. He leaned on the wall, incessantly rubbing his bruised shin while cursing his friend mentally.
" Stop ogling my spouse, pervert." Arthur squinted his eyes. His beautiful peach blossom eyes slightly darken, warning the other man to mind his wandering eyes.
Kai rolled his eyes.
"I'm thinking, bastard. Not ogling your..." He makes a quote gesture with his hands. "beloved wife."
"Whether I loved him or not, this is not your concern. That is my business and him. Stop intruding and bothering our marriage life. Get yourself a wife first if you wanted to lecture me, virgin."
Kai's cheeks flush red. Regardless it was due to anger or embarrassment or perhaps a mixture of both, but Kai was frustrated by Arthur's mockery. He was older than him but still single. Arthur kept mocking him due to this.
Kai tried to smack Arthur with his bag, venting his anger, but the other man had smoothly evaded his attack.
He stayed rigidly in front of the window, not knowing what to do. He watched the stranger's banter in silence.
Excuse me, kind sirs, but can somebody tell him his name? He was dying to know who he was. That kid introduced everyone but forgot to say anything about him. He only called him Madam. The title is making his skin crawl with goosebumps!
Whatever.
Let him introduce himself first.
He is called Wu Zhi. 29 years old bachelor that had transmigrated into this world after he miserably died due to the attack of some wandering zombies.
He died painfully. And his flesh was also eaten by a zombie while he was still alive. His skin is ripped apart like a torn fabric. Quite a terrible way to die, right?
Usually, someone like him should have some grudge or unfulfilled wish since he experienced an apocalypse world.
But, nope.
He didn't hate anyone, nor did he want to enact a revenge-plot life. He is just an unlucky man who was born lonely and died lonely. There was nothing impressive about his life.
Nevertheless, he didn't want to die. At least, until he experiences love, starts a relationship with someone, gets married, and has a child of his own flesh and blood. That was his simple wish.
He was alone from childhood, without a parent or sibling. When he entered university, apocalypse abruptly descended on his old world, upturning the once peaceful earth into a living hell. He persisted until the end, in that harsh condition without awakening any power, living a dull and monotone life of an ordinary person for almost ten years. He was neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with his life.
All he ever thought inside his mind was how to survive, to keep looking forward, and live for another day despite the fruitless struggle. Because he knew how precious life was.
If you asked whether he had any regret, then he had one. He wanted to shed off his bachelor's title.
The most miserable thing about his dull life was that he never got the chance to hold hands with the opposite sex nor kiss anyone.
He is truly a virgin, through and through.
Wu Zhi's body suddenly swayed. He almost slipped had it not because of his tight grip over the windowsill, or he might collapse in an embarrassing position in front of these strangers.
He wouldn't want to give them another bad impression about himself by acting weird.
Excruciating dizziness that almost split apart his head suddenly assaulted him. The headache intensified, causing him to whimper in pain. He unceremoniously fell into a kneeling position with both of his hands squeezing his temple.
"Madam!" Alaric rushed towards him, anxiously checking him out. Since he didn't know what was wrong with the Madam, he had nervously thrown a glance at his Master, pleading with the man to examine him.
Arthur gave him an unfeeling look. Although, he still nudged his friend and gestured him to check his wife.
"Go check him," Arthur said. His voice was devoid of emotion, and he didn't seem worried at all. He casually leaned on the wall with both of his arms are folded to his chest.
Kai rolled his eyes and helped Alaric lay Wu Zhi down on the bed. He started to examine the pale man, whose forehead was donning with a bead of sweats. He checked Wu Zhi's temperature, pulse, and everything else to determine the problem.
Wu Zhi is writhing in pain. He bit his lips to contain his scream. Yes, the head-splitting pain is almost making him want to hurl abuse at someone to vent out his misery. The pink lips almost turned bloody because of his biting.
A surge of unfamiliar memories belongs to the original body, coming back like tidal waves. The pain was unbearable. However, he refrained from letting out a single voice and suffered silently while receiving back the surge of memories.
After all, between being bitten by a zombie and headache, one could judge which one is the worst experience between these two options.
--------
He stood in the dark space, devoid of light. Suddenly, a bright, blinding light appeared in front of him alongside a white screen. The screen displays him the journey of the original body he currently occupies.
He was beyond shock when realization smacked him square on the face.
First and foremost, this is a world within an otome game.
The main protagonist is Leyla Klein, a commoner from an ordinary household. She is an orphan and lived her entire life in an orphanage until she reached the age of seventeen years old.
At eighteen, she left her home and led an adult life outside the orphanage perimeter.
Leyla is a beautiful girl. She has long, wavy auburn hair reaching her thin waist. Her pair of phoenix eyes could capture every male attention with a single glance. Her pink, luscious lips always curved into a charming smile, which could melt even the frozen iceberg.
She has a gorgeous body with a seductive waistline.
Leyla was the epitome of purity and gracefulness. She looked like a noble lady despite coming from a lower household.
This game depicted Leyla's exciting life in capturing every single capture target in the game and leading a happy life with them. Yeah, kind of reverse-harem story with different routes to achieve happiness.
There are five capture targets. One of them is the male lead one, Arthur Vie Vermillion, 27 years old, the young Ceo of Scarlet Peony Corporation. He was the richest man in the country with many golden fingers. Grabbing his thigh will ensure your success in life. Then, who was Wu Zhi transmigrated into, can anyone guess?
Of course, it is the body of the villain. Not the main villain, just a minor one. Yeah, more like a cannon fodder character with a countable scene. His existence was merely a condiment that would spice out the relationship between the main protagonist and the male lead one. And also helped the protagonist get the attention of the other captured targets.
He transmigrated into the body of Xie Winchester, 23 years old, and the male lead's contracted, male wife. Xie loves Arthur very much, but the man never glanced at him.
They were childhood friends. Arthur always looked at him in disdain with unconcealed hatred. He not only disliked Xie. Arthur was also disgusted with him.
Xie is a royalty. He is the second prince of the Clarian Kingdom. The man dares to let go of his position and title only to be Arthur's wife. He is contented with it as long as he can occupy the space within Arthur's heart.
Arthur couldn't openly reject him, so they made a contract. A marriage contract to satisfy both sides. Xie, who truly loved him, was disappointed with Arthur and his decision.
However, his desire to monopolize him overwhelmed him more. So he agreed. As long as they are together, acting as an ordinary married couple, Arthur will slowly fall in love with him. After all, familiarity will breed fondness.
He tried everything to appeal himself to the man. Making his favorite food, giving him money, influence, and position, but to no avail. Yes, his effort is rendered useless. Since Arthur never once loved him and refused to reciprocate his feeling. Instead, his hard work is giving out a negative impact. Arthur felt Xie was disgusting. He tried to buy his love with money and flaunt his wealth and authority in front of him. The misunderstanding between them deepened beyond recovery.
The strained relationship becomes even tenser until the main protagonist comes to the male lead's company as an intern. The male lead had fallen in love with the lovely Leyla and started a secret relationship with her. When Xie knew the truth, he exploded. He tried to kill the main protagonist, sabotaged her work, and even threatened the MC to leave his husband.
Of course, the situation is going out of control, and the male lead finally receives the information about Xie's action. He decided to support and protect his lover than his wife. So, because of the unbearable dismay, Xie committed suicide at the end of the story. His loved one betrays him, and his heart is shattered to pieces by him.
Xie's death brought nothing impactful to the two lovebirds. Soon enough, they both get married and lead a happy life together. And this is the result of route one, the pairing between the main protagonist and the male lead one.
The end.
Wu Zhi blankly stares at the screen. He cursed inside his heart. What is this? An otome game? And he is the villain wife who soon died because of suicide due to extreme disappointment toward his husband?
Can he go back to his old world? He prefers a face-off with a zombie than join a useless fight with the mc of a story. Only to get the love of someone who didn't even love him back?! Nonsense! Peh! He is not a thick-skinned man, so why would he plead and beg someone for their unworthy loves?
The world is vast. There are many excellent people. Why would he focus on one person when he had other better options?
He didn't want to! He wants to live a simple life. Lead a peaceful life with someone who loves him. Yes, Someone. Who. Love. Him.
Wu Zhi lets out an exasperated sigh. If he acted beyond normalcy, will he get punished for attempting OOC? Will someone take note of his oddity?
Argh, this is the worst! Let me think first and then-
Wu Zhi then heard a sobbing. A pitiful cries from a distance, calling out for the original.
This voice. That kid, right? The cute kid who fond to call him Madam.
Ugh, time to wake up, then.
--------
Mini Theater.
This scene will happen in the later chapter.
Wu Zhi: (Looked at his reflection and got awestruck by his face) Ooh. Look at this face, and look at this elastic skin. It's soft and smooth, just like a baby's skin. What kind of skincare product did he use?
Jumped down from the bed and approached a human-sized standing mirror in the corner of the room.
Wu Zhi: (Posed many stranges pose in front of the mirror) Damn. His waistline was too thin. Wouldn't it break if I did some strenuous exercise? But, his waist is flexible. Nice. Should I try yoga? I couldn't before because my whole body was too stiff and inflexible.
The oblivious Wu Zhi never realized that someone's peeked at him from behind the slightly ajar door. He was too engrossed with his own thing that he literally ignored anything else.
The burning gaze on Wu Zhi intensified, especially when he did some impossible poses with his flexible body. They lingered on Wu Zhi's upper body down to his lower part before settling on the man's face. After a while, the door slowly got pulled in, leaving no space to peek.
Wu Zhi: (Heard something and turned around) ??? (Scanned his surroundings and saw nothing. Shrugged his shoulders and returned to being silly before the standing mirror)
-------
Arthur: (Sat on his swivel chair inside his office, seemed to be in a dazed) Not only did he lose his memory, but the aura shrouded his body had also changed? Was he really the Xie I once knew? (Took the letter hidden underneath a pile of documents. The letter got crumpled and made it hard for anyone to see the content. But, since Arthur had read it before, he already knew the content beforehand) To think he would be so bold in requesting divorce had he finally lost his mind?
In the room, Wu Zhi kept sneezing.
Wu Zhi: Someone must be talking ill behind my back. Perhaps, that slag husband? (A/N: Bingo!)
