The Silver Hamster’s Daily Life - Chapter 1

Outside the window, lightning and thunder were flashing as the storm was raging fiercely. The branches of the trees were flapping against each other as if they were being swayed by a giant hand.

 

In the basement of a suburban villa, Ruan Yingyin suddenly opened her eyes. She looked around in bewilderment and found that she was in a basement.

 

The basement was very dark, no lights were on, only candles were lit on the candle holders on the wall around the basement. In the lights of the wavering candles, Ruan Yingyin saw a shadow in front of her.

 

It was Jiang Xingyuan.

 

Ruan Yingyin was so scared that she tried to shrink herself into a ball. She couldn’t understand how the hell did she come to a place like this and what the hell was happening. She tried to shuffle in the corner, away from the shadow that was standing in the dark. But she found that her hands and feets were tied to a wooden rack hanging above her head. The wooden rack must be used for keeping things but she couldn’t see anything since she was sitting just beneath it.

 

Sitting under the wooden rack on the cold basement floor, with nothing but a thin shirt and skirt, Ruan Yingyin felt cold all over.

 

She tilted her head upward to the person in front of her, who was sitting on a chair, holding a glass of red wine in his hand. Sitting in the middle of the flickering candles, he looked like a devil that came out from hell to drag her down there.

 

The man’s face was hidden under the darkness of the candles, his features looked a little blurred and unclear, but the hostile aura on his body sent chills down Ruan Yingyin’s body.

 

The man got up from the chair with a glass of wine and walked towards Ruan Yingyin. Startled, she tried to huddle more in the corner, but her bound limbs stopped her from doing so.

 

 

He stopped in front of Ruan Yingyin and lowered his head. His deeply contoured face revealed a bloodthirsty smile.

 

Jiang Xing Yuan reached out and gently brushed the hair that was stuck on Ruan Yingyin’s fair face. He gave a devilish grin as he said, “Ruan Yingyin, congratulations on graduating high school. From now on, you will be staying here.”

 

Ruan Yingyin couldn’t help but shiver in fear seeing the expression on his face. She was already confused how come she was here. Now hearing him saying such scary things, her face couldn’t help but pale.

 

 

Jiang Xingyuan raised his eyebrows at her fearful expression and suddenly laughed, “Don’t worry, you will be well taken care of.”

 

He lifted the glass holding the red wine and tilted it towards Ruan Yingyin. The dark red liquid inside the glass fell on her school uniform, painting it red.

 

It was the last day of their college entrance exams.

 

After the last exam, the end of senior year, they graduated from high school.

 

Ruan Yingyin thought she could escape Jiang Xingyuan’s clutches after graduating from high school, but before she could take the initiative to escape, she was brought here.

 

 

 

With her hands and feet bound, she couldn’t move at all. She felt like a trapped mouse in front of a bloodthirsty predator.

 

She didn’t know why he was doing this. As long as she could remember, she had never intentionally offended Jiang Xingyuan. Maybe she had done something to offend him unintentionally, which landed her in her current situation. She couldn’t help but wonder what she could do to offend him for him to kidnap her and harass her like this.

 

While Ruan Yingyin was immersed in finding out the reason for her being kidnapped by Jiang Xingyuan, he let go of the wine glass, which fell to the ground with a sound of shattering glass. Ruan Yingyin was also forced to come back to her senses. Her body shivered when she saw him lowering his body.

 

Jiang Xingyuan bent down and put his hand on her clothes as he said, “Look, your clothes are wet and your body is shaking, are you feeling cold?”

 

Ruan Yingyin’s eyes were terrified, she choked onto her voice as she pleaded, “Jiang Xingyuan, don’t touch me.”

 

Jiang Xing Yuan’s movement froze hearing her. But he continued his movement again and slowly unbuttoned the buttons of her shirt. He was very satisfied seeing her frightened look.

 

He looked at her and said with a grin, “Ruan Yingyin, you forgot that your body is mine. I have already touched you countless times.”

 

Ruan Yingyin’s whole body trembled, droplets of tears fell from her eyes.

 

She couldn’t understand what Jiang Xing said. What did he mean by touching her countless times?

 

Jiang Xingyuan’s hand suddenly came to Ruan Yingyin’s slender neck. His hold tightened little by little as he applied force.

 

Ruan Yingyin suddenly felt the supply of air suddenly cut off. A burning sensation spread on her chest as she struggled to breath. She wanted to move her body, but her hands and feet were tied, which stopped all of her movement.

 

Just when Ruan Yingyin felt she was about to suffocate, his hand suddenly removed itself from her neck

 

She started to cough and breathe heavily. When she lifted her head after gaining her breath, she saw Jiang Xing Yuan approaching a candle holder on the wall. He easily picked it up and returned to her again. Ruan Yingyin felt her body turning cold, she looked at Jiang Xingyuan with a desperate gaze.

 

 

 

Jiang Xingyuan laughed seeing her expression and gently said “Don’t worry, I won’t kill you.”

 

Hearing him, her eyes showed some hope.

 

But the next second, the smile was wiped off from Jiang Xingyuan face as sadistic desire flashed on his eyes.

 

He bent down and said in a deep voice in Ruan Yingyin’s ear, “Ruan Yingyin, the person who betrayed me, I will make her life miserable. She will be unable to live and unable to die.”

 

The candle that was still burning in Jiang Xing Yuan’s hand, suddenly fell down from his hand. It was at that time that she woke up.

 

 

 

 

Ruan Yingyin gasped as she opened her eyes. She jumped up from her bed and immediately lifted her pyjama shirt. Her skin was still white and smooth, there was no burning mark or any injury. A sigh of relief left her mouth.

 

The housekeeper of Ruan Yingyin’s home at that time knocked on the door, “Yin Yin, get up. Today is the first day of high school, don’t be late.”

 

Ruan Yingyin got up from the bed and answered, “Coming.”

 

The new school uniform was hanging by the side of the bed from last night, Ruan Yingyin picked it up from the hanger and looked over.

 

The school uniform was exactly the same as the one in her dream. Seeing the same uniform in her nightmare in front of her made her scared, a shiver ran down her spine as she remembered the face of the man in the dream. She shook her head, mustered up enough courage before she stood up, and started dressing herself with the school uniform.

 

Five days ago, on the way from H City to S City, Ruan Yingyin became Ruan Yingyin.

 

She transmigrated into a book, and the name of the book was 《After the rebirth of the villain》.

 

In the book, the villain, Jiang Xingyuan had a girlfriend with the same name as her. But she shouldn’t exactly be called a girlfriend, the Ruan Yingyin in the book was more like a bed partner. She was pleasing to the eye of Jiang Xingyuan, so he kept her for his physical needs, while Ruan Yingyin was with him for her material needs.

 

The two of them didn’t have any affection for each other. Although Jiang Xingyuan was very handsome to the point that girls were crazy for him, Ruan Yingyin in the book was too busy to fulfill her vanity. She was the young lady of the Ruan family in the past. Now because Jiang Xingyuan reduced her to a mere bed partner, she was rather dissatisfied with him on the inside.

 

After living the life as his bed partner for three years, Ruan Yingyin had enough of it. She met the original female lead and male lead of the book and decided to expose Jiang Xingyuan’s secrets to them. In the book, under the influence of the female and male lead, Jiang Xingyuan was bankrupted, but the original owner didn’t help him. Rather, she rolled up the few amounts of money he had and ran away.

 

Jiang Xingyuan had a cold and aloof personality that had offended many people. Due to his status, no one was able to voice out any complaints against him. So after he fell from the high place, people didn’t forget to ridicule and take revenge on him.

 

In the end, Jiang Xingyuan’s consequences were miserable. He died on a wintery night, freezing to death in the streets.

 

But unexpectedly, Jiang Xingyuan was reborn back in high school after he died. He vowed to become successful in life and thrive to stand at the top again. After his rebirth, Jiang Xingyuan’s career became more successful because of the memories of his previous life. He eliminated all of his competitors early and became the boss of the world, he became more powerful than previous life, so powerful that no one dared to touch his scales!*

 

[T/N: Offend him.]

 

Of course, he also didn’t forget to get his revenge on his most hated person, Ruan Yingyin. She was locked up in his basement by him, cruelly tortured her and made her unable to live and unable to die, as if living in hell every day.*

 

[T/N: Woah….the villain, I mean, the ML is very ruthless.]

 

Last night, the dream that Ruan Yingyin had was one of the episodes of the novel.

 

Ruan Yingyin had transmigrated into the current body five days ago. And each night, there would be a nightmare to accompany her sleep. But the thing that surprised her most was, each nightmare was an episode from the novel.

 

She stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself in her school uniform. Patting her chest, she whispered to the person in the mirror, “Ruan Yingyin, don’t be afraid, it’s just a dream. Now I am not her, I will change her future. Everything will be rewritten.”

 

Ruan Yingyin was a silver fox hamster spirit before transmigrating into the book. After cultivating for a long time, she finally became a twenty two year old human and lived in a human society.

 

Unexpectedly, she was hit on her way home by a drunken driver and died when she was walking on a crosswalk.

 

But she didn’t actually die, instead she transmigrated into the book and became Ruan Yingyin.

 

Ruan Yingyin knew previously that she was a unique silver fox hamster, favored by the heavens. She could have been granted a big favour by Heaven if she didn’t die.

 

Perhaps the reason why she crossed over into this book was because Heaven wanted her to change the future of Ruan Yingyin and derive the plot of 《After the rebirth of the villain》.

 

Thinking this, Ruan Yingyin was not that much afraid. Because she was confident that Heaven would help her.

 

After arranging her thoughts, she reached out and picked up the school bag sitting on the chair, and packed it with the school supplies. After that, she opened the door of the closet.

 

 

The closet was filled with different kinds of clothes. All the clothes were kept and folded inside neatly and in between them were the snacks that she bought in these five days. The closet had so many clothes, she made a lot of holes onto the neatly folded clothes and kept her snacks there.

 

 

Ruan Yingyin grabbed a few snacks from the hole and stuffed them into the school bag. Fearing that someone might notice, she covered the rest of the snacks with the clothes before closing the door. As a hamster, she loves to eat, but if someone finds out and reports to her father, she may have to sacrifice her snacks to avoid being scolded.

 

Ruan Yingyin finally put on the schoolbag on her shoulders and went downstairs.

 

The housekeeper had already set up her breakfast.

 

She sat down obediently and ate with her head down in small bites, her cheeks puffing up like a hamster she was.

 

Although she couldn’t eat much in one bite, she was still fast. She finished her breakfast pretty quickly, without leaving any crumbs.

 

Ruan Xudong, who was reading the newspaper while eating breakfast, took a look at Ruan Yingyin, his daughter and suddenly had a feeling that this child was not the same as before.

 

Ruan Yingyin previously went to a school in H City, while Ruan Xudong was developing his business in S City.

 

After many years of hard work, he finally managed to work on a big project and earned a huge profit.

 

Ruan Yingyin’s mother, Li Da, died in a car accident two years ago. After her death, Ruan Yingyin was left unattended and acted more and more rebellious. Every time Ruan Xudong met his daughter, he would become angry by her unruly behaviour.

 

Later on, he simply stopped caring for his daughter and gave all his attention to the business in S city. He was very busy for the past two years and couldn’t meet Ruan Yingyin.

 

But he didn’t expect, in the absence of him, Ruan Yingyin would become so well behaved.

 

Thinking how he neglected his daughter, Ruan Xudong felt guilty in his heart. He looked at his daughter who was eating in small bites with quick movement, and couldn’t help but say, “Eat slowly. Make new friends at school and study hard.”

 

Although Ruan Xudong intentionally softened his tone, his stern face still had a serious look, so his caring words turned out more like a command to Ruan Yingyin.

 

Ruan Yingyin looked at the ‘father’ of her with wide eyes and nodded obediently with puffed cheeks.

 

Ruan Xudong saw his daughter’s good attitude and hummed in satisfaction as he continued to read the newspaper.

 

The driver, Lao Yu, took her to the school and left her at the entrance of Qinzhong.

 

The students of this school were rich so the facilities of the school were amazing. It was the beginning of the students of first year, so the entrance was filled with luxury cars of different brands.

 

Ruan Yingyin stopped at the entrance of the school, a little hesitant to enter. She tried to cheer herself inwardly but still couldn’t gather the courage to go in.

 

Because she suddenly remembered Jiang Xingyuan also studied in the same school, even in the same class as her.

 

Before Jiang Xingyuan was reborn, he went abroad after finishing junior high school and didn’t have any interactions with the original female and male lead, as well as Ruan Yingyin during the high school. It was only later when he graduated from college and returned to China to start his own business that he was involved in the second half of the book’s plot.

 

After Jiang Xingyuan was reborn, he knew that Ruan Yingyin and the main male and female leads were high school students in Qinzhong. In order to take revenge on these people, he deliberately admitted himself in Qingzhong, rather than leaving the country.

 

Ruan Yingyin remembered the plot and had a headache.

 

When she thought of the miserable days coming ahead, she felt she had no reason to fear, since she had prepared well. She was different from the original Ruan Yingyin and so, their ending certainly be different. But standing in front of the school, she still hesitated for a long time before gathering enough courage to walk forward.
