Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

That night, at the Zhao family's house.

In his dream, Zhao Xubai saw the girl he had been longing for, Miaomiao. She was so beautiful and kind, he was her fairy.

After he angrily recounted what had happened that day, a strange light flashed in Miao Miao's eyes. Then she took his hand, her eyes filled with deep affection.

"Zhao Lang, I don't want anything, I just want to be with you."

No matter how much they misunderstand me, as long as you believe in me, that's enough.

Zhao Xubai felt a warmth in his heart and said, "Of course I believe you. In my eyes, you are the best. They are all talking nonsense. They have never even met you, yet they say such things to slander you. It's really too much!"

"Zhao Lang, I'm so scared." Miao Miao nestled into Zhao Xubai's arms. "I'm afraid they'll separate us. Right now, I don't want anything, I just want us to be together."

As she spoke, she unbuttoned her clothes, revealing her bare shoulders.

Seeing such a sensual scene, Zhao Xubai blushed instantly. "Miaomiao, what are you doing?"

"Zhao Lang, I don't care about the ceremony. As long as I can be yours, I don't care about anything else. Will you take me?"

Miao Miao wrapped her arms around Zhao Xubai's neck, looked at him with affection in her eyes, and offered her fragrant lips.

Seeing his beloved girl being so proactive, Zhao Xubai's Adam's apple bobbed. He tightly embraced her slender waist with both hands, closed his eyes, and kissed her.

Just as he was about to kiss the red lips he had been dreaming of, his eyelashes fluttered as he opened his eyes, a face that was extremely hideous suddenly appeared before him.

His face was swollen and pale, as if it had been soaked in water and rotted, which startled him and made him cry out.

"Damn it-"

Zhao Xubai quickly pushed the person in his arms away and retreated, his face pale.

"Zhao Lang, what's wrong?"

The voice was still faint, but the face in front of him had become ferocious and terrifying.

As that hideous face approached him step by step, Zhao Xubai spoke, his eyes filled with fear.

"Don't come any closer! Get away from me!"

The female ghost was completely bewildered, seemingly unable to understand why her lover had suddenly changed his attitude.

"Zhao Lang, I am your Miaomiao." The female ghost lowered her head, seemingly heartbroken. "You said you wouldn't despise me, but now that you're like this, I'm truly heartbroken..."

"You're not Miaomiao! Who are you, you female ghost?!" Zhao Xubai roared angrily.

The female ghost was taken aback at first, then a look of surprise flashed in her eyes. She subconsciously touched her face, then sneered:

"Looks like they found a master?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xubai seemed to regain his senses and instantly understood.

"You...you're really a female ghost?"

"Damn it, you were so close to being completely finished!"

A deep resentment flashed in the female ghost's eyes, but even more so, a ferocious look. "Zhao Xubai, wouldn't it be better for you to stay and be my ghost husband? You don't really like me anyway, do you?"

"I don't like you, I would never like a ghost like you!" Zhao Xubai said hurriedly. "Where exactly are you hiding my Miaomiao?"

"Miaomiao?" The female ghost chuckled. "Aren't I your Miaomiao? We were betrothed when we were little, and we were meant to get married."

"You deliberately fell into the river just to find me, didn't you?"

Zhao Xubai's face grew paler and paler as he recalled what Chu Yun had said when he returned earlier that day. "Could it be... that you really are Qian Qingmiao?"

"Don't you remember how you called me when you were a child?"

Zhao Xubai also recalled the scenes of the two of them spending time together when they were young.

“Miaomiao, little Miaomiao.”

He always called Qian Qingmiao that...

"Yes, I am your little sister Miaomiao. When we were little, we played games together. You were my husband, and I have always been your wife!"

The female ghost's eyes began to bleed with tears. "You said you would marry me when you grew up, so you should be my husband!"

As she spoke, her expression grew increasingly frenzied, and her eyes filled with an unwavering determination.

"I'm so lonely all by myself. You have to be my husband and stay with me forever!"

The next instant, Zhao Xubai saw the female ghost suddenly pounce on him. Her nails were exceptionally sharp, and if they pierced his neck, they would surely kill him!

"what--"

He fled in terror, only to find that the female ghost was much faster than him and he couldn't escape at all. He struggled to wake up, but found it was all in vain.

"Don't even think about it, you're not going to wake up."

Qian Qingmiao saw through his thoughts and mocked, "Haven't you noticed lately that you're spending less and less time conscious and more and more time with me?"

Once you're truly with me, you'll never wake up again..."

Zhao Xubai's back was soaked with cold sweat, his eyes filled with terror and panic, the fear of death engulfing him, "No, no..."

"I originally wanted to let you enjoy your sweet dreams a little longer, so that you wouldn't feel bad even if you died. But I didn't expect you to be so resourceful. In that case, I have no choice but to take your life sooner!"

Just as Qian Qingmiao's hand was about to pierce Zhao Xubai's heart, a golden light suddenly flashed, as if an invisible protective barrier had repelled her.

"boom!"

The female ghost collapsed to the ground, her once solid body now appearing somewhat pale, her eyes filled with fear and disbelief. "How could this be?"

Zhao Xubai hadn't expected such a ray of light to save his life at the crucial moment, but upon closer reflection, it wasn't hard to guess that it must have been Miss Song's doing.

Miss Song and the others were right; I really am possessed!

If they hadn't come, I would be dead right now!

He looked at the female ghost in front of him and remembered everything that had happened back then.

After Qian Qingmiao fell into the water and died, he fell seriously ill. He was in a daze and had a persistent high fever. His family was even worried that he would become mentally impaired from the fever.

Fortunately, he eventually regained consciousness, but he couldn't remember the situation very clearly.

And now, everything he had forgotten started ringing again...

“It was indeed my fault before. I shouldn’t have argued with you, and I shouldn’t have left you there alone. Are you here to take my life?” Zhao Xubai asked blankly.

Qian Qingmiao looked at Zhao Xubai and slowly said, "The water is so cold, I feel so lonely all by myself, I..."

At the same time, Zhao's mother rushed over after hearing Zhao Xubai's screams. She was also frightened when she saw his pale face and his forehead covered in cold sweat.

"Xu Bai, wake up!"

"Xu Bai, Xu Bai!"

No matter how much Zhao's mother called, she couldn't wake him up, so she finally slapped him across the face!

"Snapped!"

The slap, delivered with full force, completely stunned Zhao Xubai.

He opened his eyes blankly, looked at his mother who had a menacing expression, and instinctively cried out, "A ghost—"
