The Duan family's villa is brightly lit all year round, yet it is also so quiet that you can hear a pin drop.

The reason was simple. It was because Duan Hongji, the head of the Duan family, liked quietness by nature, and any loud noise would make him unhappy.

Duan Chengfang's footsteps were silent and he climbed up to the third floor as lightly as a cat.

The entire third floor is the private territory of Duan Hongji, the head of the Duan family. The three sons of the Duan family rarely come here.

However, today is a special situation.

Duan Chengfang came to Duan Hongji's bedroom door and knocked gently.

"Dad, it's already ten o'clock, and the Jiang family's car has been waiting outside the gate for four hours."

It was very quiet inside the door and no one answered Duan Chengfang.

A trace of deep thought flashed across Duan Chengfang's handsome face.

Duan Hongji was a serious person who always attached great importance to etiquette, and it was rare for him to be so rude as to make others wait.

Is it possible that father hasn't woken up yet?

This is also unlikely.

Duan Hongji has a very regular daily routine. He always gets up at six o'clock in the morning to do morning exercises. This rule has never been broken over the years.

You can't be trying to intimidate the Jiang family, right?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Duan Chengfang himself laughed.

My father fell in love with the eldest daughter of the Jiang family at first sight and was completely fascinated by her. He immediately paid off billions of debts for the Jiang family, and his only request was that the eldest daughter of the Jiang family marry him and become the wife of the head of the Duan family.

The eldest daughter of the Jiang family is only 20 years old this year, the same age as the third brother Duan Ye. She suddenly became the stepmother of the three brothers.

Duan Hongji, with his lustful look, wanted to show off his power to the Jiang family? How could it be possible? How could he bear to do that?

Several possibilities were ruled out. Duan Chengfang rolled his eyes and was about to knock on the door again when a voice finally came from inside.

"...Okay. I understand. Let Jiang Huiyi from the Jiang family come in directly and let her sit on the first floor for a while."

Duan Chengfang was stunned: "Just let her in like this?"

The person inside the room coughed: "Just let her in. I... do as I say."

Duan Hongji always kept his word and hated being questioned. Repeating his question just now was already a taboo. So even though he was a little surprised, Duan Chengfang still responded without hesitation: "I know."

Having said that, Duan Chengfang went downstairs quietly, just like when he came.

After he completely went downstairs, everyone in the house breathed a sigh of relief.

"What exactly is going on?"

Zhao Ruoming sat on the soft big bed, looking confused.

A few hours ago, she was an ordinary female college student, staying up late to revise her graduation thesis. Then she felt dizzy, closed her eyes, and suddenly died.

After sixteen years of hard study, I was back to the time before liberation overnight.

Such a tragic fate makes anyone who hears it sad and cry.

Zhao Ruoming was in a state of impotence and rage in the void for a long time, and suddenly she felt a strange pulling force. After a dizzying moment, she woke up in this strange place.

Before she could figure out what was going on, her cheap son came knocking on the door and called her dad!

Zhao Ruoming was almost frightened to death again.

Fortunately, at this critical moment, a magical light ball system connected with her in time.

The system immediately performed some high-tech operations on her vocal cords, which instantly transformed her voice into a very attractive male voice. Then, a light screen was projected in the air in front of her, on which were written the lines she was supposed to say next.

Zhao Ruoming was not stupid. He immediately realized that he had a golden finger and quickly imitated him and recited the lines.

Sure enough, after hearing the lines, the adopted son had no suspicion and was easily sent away.

His adopted son walked without making any sound, and it was only after the system reminded him that Zhao Ruoming realized that he was gone.

Zhao Ruoming looked at the ball of light in the void and finally asked the question he had been holding back for a long time: "What is going on? Who are you?"

The light ball system's voice was unexpectedly pleasant: "Hello, host. I am the 'Book-Crossing System' No. 203. You can call me 203."

"203, right... Hello. What's going on now?"

Zhao Ruoming had many questions, but she didn't know where to start. After all, everything that happened before her eyes was beyond her common sense.

203 explained in a serious tone: "We have detected that your physical body on Earth has died, so this system has performed a soul-grabbing operation on you."

"I'm dead? I know I'm dead. But why are you grabbing my soul?"

Zhao Ruoming was upset and felt that the world was full of unsolved mysteries.

203 said: "In the Vientiane universe, there is the Vientiane world. Our job is to maintain the stability of the world."

"The world that we in the Book Club are trying to protect, as the name suggests, is a world that was born from books."

The system tells everything.

As expected of a high-tech product, the system's statements were logically clear and well-organized. Zhao Ruoming quickly understood the current situation.

In short, she had traveled through a book. The world she was in was a world derived from the novel. Due to the absence of important supporting characters in the book, the plot could not proceed, and the book-traveling department was seriously short of manpower, so System 203 had to temporarily capture Zhao Ruoming to replace the missing character.

She is now considered a non-staff member of the Book Department. As long as she completes the tasks, she can be reborn and receive rich rewards.

203 continued to explain: "Your soul tenacity, brain development, moral level and other comprehensive qualities are all the best selected by the system, and are very suitable for this task."

It was the first time that Zhao Ruoming was praised by an inhuman being, and he felt quite strange. Besides, coming back from the dead couldn't be considered a bad thing.

She asked in a good mood: "I already know the general situation. What is this mission?"

203 paused suspiciously.

Zhao Ruoming didn't notice this.

203: "You need to play the important supporting roles in the three books respectively, fill in the plot gaps, and promote the final ending of the novel."

"Supporting characters in three books?" Zhao Ruoming was a little confused, then he suddenly realized, "Oh, fast travel, right? But aren't three worlds a bit too few?"

Zhao Ruoming had read a lot of online novels in her previous life, and was very familiar with the theme of quick travel. However, the protagonists of other novels would travel through more than a dozen worlds at any time, and she had only read three books, not even a fraction of them.

203 paused longer this time: "...quite a lot."

"What?" Zhao Ruoming didn't understand what it meant.

203 said slowly, "There are three books, yes, but not three worlds. There is only one world."

Three question marks slowly appeared above Zhao Ruoming's head.

203: "You have to play three roles at the same time in this world."

Zhao Ruoming: “.”

Zhao Ruoming was extremely shocked: "Your department is already so short of manpower? I am a human being, not a potato chip. I can't be divided into slots!"

Fortunately, the system was not very emotional, otherwise 203 would have been sweating profusely. It patiently explained: "You are the only qualified tasker selected... But host, you don't have to worry. The story lines of these three characters do not interfere with each other and will not meet each other."

It gave Zhao Ruoming another reassurance: "And host, I will help you adjust your appearance, voice, and body data so that no one will be able to recognize you."

Zhao Ruoming was silent for a moment. She had seen the system's ability to pinch the vocal cords just now. It was indeed superb. Even her own mother standing at the door couldn't tell it was her. She thought the appearance would not be bad either.

After all, coming back from the dead is a power that defies heaven, so just work three jobs.

Zhao Ruoming reluctantly accepted this unfortunate reality and began to inquire about the main information: "What role should I play? The vicious female supporting role? Or the pretty female lead?"

The silence of 203 became more and more obvious.

Zhao Ruoming had a bad feeling in his heart: "I'm not going to break the law, am I? Play the role of an unforgivable female devil?"

System: “That’s not the case.”

Zhao Ruoming just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard 203 say, "You have to play the male lead's father, the infatuated second male lead who only loves the female lead, and the male lead's henchman."

Zhao Ruoming: “.”
