Quick Transmigration: Even Extras Want to Be Leading Actresses

Gu Shijiu left without looking back, and behind her came shrill screams from the burned-down building.

She walked for a long time, passing through a grove of trees, before she finally saw another building.

There's a small square downstairs with clotheslines tied up there.

The grove of trees and the building are separated by a wall with an iron gate in the middle, on which hang several heavy, rusty locks.

Gu Shijiu pulled hard, and the locks snapped.

She stealthily pulled her clothes from the clothesline, put them on, and then tiptoed away.

Gu Shijiu felt very embarrassed for stealing the clothes and thought that she would definitely come back to repay the money in the future.

The last time she stole something was when she was very young. She was so hungry that she stole food from the kitchen, which is how Shi Qi caught her...

At this point, Shi Qi seemed to have been thrown into oblivion again.

Gu Shijiu kept a straight face and noticed a few more pages of paper beside her: the script for "Escape from the Mental Hospital"—by Han Meng.

The plot seems to be more complex this time than before.

Han Meng's mother, Han Bingjie, passed away early, and she grew up with her maternal grandfather, Han Shun.

Han Shun and his wife started their business by processing supplied materials, and by the time Han Bingjie grew up, they were already extremely wealthy.

The industry covers various sectors including clothing, catering, real estate, and finance.

Perhaps because the couple were busy with business when they were young, their only daughter, Han Bingjie, developed a gentle, kind, and even somewhat timid personality at some point.

The year Han Bingjie graduated from university, she insisted on marrying Li Xuhua, an art student from the same university.

Li Xuhua's family is of modest means, but that's not the point.

In the eyes of the Han couple, this man was arrogant and boastful, considering himself talented, and his attitude towards his daughter was rather indifferent.

However, the usually gentle Han Bingjie was determined to marry Li Xuhua this time, and even became pregnant.

The Han couple had no choice but to reluctantly agree to the marriage.

Since getting married, Li Xuhua has never worked a regular job, devoting himself entirely to painting and art.

Han Bingjie didn't care; she had a large and successful family and didn't care what her husband did.

Unexpectedly, she suffered a heart attack during childbirth and died in the hospital.

Han Bingjie's mother was so grief-stricken that she passed away less than two years later.

This time, Li Xuhua decided not to be a hands-off manager anymore and shamelessly approached Han Shun, saying he could help him manage the company.

Originally, Han Shun thought that since all the family businesses would belong to Han Meng in the future, it wouldn't hurt to give Li Xuhua some face.

Unexpectedly, I overheard him chatting on the phone with someone, saying things like, "What's the point of having so much money? It still can't save a life."

Enraged, Han Shun beat up Li Xuhua and kicked him out of the Han family.

After that, she devoted herself to raising her granddaughter Han Meng.

Li Xuhua remarried the year after she left, and had a daughter a few years later. She never contacted the Han family again.

Afterwards, Han Shun learned that Han Bingjie had left Li Xuhua a considerable sum of money.

No amount of anger would change anything. Han Shun learned his lesson and took a hands-on approach to raising Han Meng, determined not to let his granddaughter repeat the same mistake.

Han Meng lived up to expectations, excelling in her studies and attending prestigious universities. A few years after graduating from university, she successfully became a middle-level manager in the Han Group.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, she will likely choose directly from the sperm bank to have a child that belongs exclusively to the Han family.

Unfortunately, Han Meng never experienced natural disasters, but she couldn't escape man-made ones.

Last year, her half-sister Li Zhen came to her door, crying and complaining that Li Xuhua had not cared about the family since getting married, and begged her sister for help.

It turns out that Li Xuhua has squandered almost all the wealth he inherited from Han Bingjie over the years in pursuit of his so-called creative ideals.

Li Zhen's university tuition was pieced together from various sources.

Han Meng did not hold a grudge against Li Zhen and Li Xuhua's later wife, but she only ever helped in emergencies, never in times of poverty.

Instead of giving her money directly, she offered Li Zhen a way to break away from her parents and support herself.

However, Li Zhen did not accept Han Meng's suggestion.

Years later, Han Shun developed the same symptoms as Han Bingjie and died of an acute heart attack.

This made Han Meng suspicious.

She had not heard of any family history of hereditary heart disease.

While it's understandable for a pregnant woman to suddenly suffer a heart attack, what about Han Shun?

Suspicious of the situation, Han Meng insisted on an autopsy.

However, when she woke up one morning, she found herself locked up in a mental hospital—Maria Sanatorium.

This private mental hospital is terrifying; it has extremely strict management of patients and frequently resorts to corporal punishment.

Han Meng tried many methods, but could not escape no matter what she did. She was even severely burned in a fire.

Twenty years later, she, who had been enduring excruciating pain every day, was successfully treated and developed a genuine mental illness.

One day, she noticed that a new young patient named Murong Xuan was acting strangely, much like she had been years ago.

So she offered some help when her fellow patient, Murong Xuan, escaped from the Maria Sanatorium.

Murong Xuan eventually escaped and went on to dominate the industry, bringing those who had wronged him to their doom.

The truth about Maria's den of iniquity has been exposed.

Li Xuhua and Li Zhen, who sent Han Meng in back then, are now under suspicion.

However, by this time, the two had already enjoyed twenty years of good life.

Li Xuhua acquired shares from Han Shun and Han Bingjie, and with the help of Han's resources, he finally made a name for himself as a renowned painter.

Li Zhen, through the Han family, married into a wealthy family, where the couple lived harmoniously and had several children.

Han Meng tried to investigate what happened back then, but without any evidence, no one believed her.

When Murong Xuan finished dealing with his own affairs and turned back to find his fellow patient Han Meng, he discovered that she had committed suicide.

Murong Xuan felt a little sad, as they were just fellow patients who had offered him some help, but he had no intention of pressing the issue further and quickly threw himself into the new battles of the business world.

......

After reading the script, Gu Shijiu drifted into a daze, unable to comprehend the complex ethical plot spanning three generations.

It's obvious that Murong Xuan is the male lead.

The character Han Meng, whom she plays, is a loser.

Twenty years ago, she was sent to a mental hospital by her biological father, who even tried to burn her alive.

Providing clues to the male protagonist twenty years later is his secret weapon for escaping.

He eventually retired after achieving his goals and committed suicide.

What a tragic character! Gu Shijiu has never played a tragic ending before.

But she messed up the plot as soon as she arrived; what's going to happen next?

Gu Shijiu was somewhat depressed.

There was no follow-up plot before, so she could only act as she went along.

This time she's not playing a minor role; she's an important supporting character with a role in the story. But how will she portray it?

In the original storyline, Han Meng was knocked unconscious by the smoke here, suffering serious injuries but surviving.

Upon learning this, Li Xuhua initially wanted to kill his daughter immediately, but after being reminded by Li Zhen, he felt that keeping Han Meng alive would be more useful.

Since the person was still alive, Li Xuhua, holding the power of attorney, could rightfully take over her assets;

If he dies, the Han family might immediately fall apart, and they might only get some shares at most.

Secondly, the death of the entire family would easily arouse suspicion from outsiders, so keeping Han Meng around would allow them to maintain the image of a good father from time to time.

Of course, it could also be due to the plot requirements of a third-rate AI script. In any case, Han Meng lived here for twenty years in a state of misery.
