Chapter 653: Interstellar withering Imperial Rose cannon fodder (2)
Ling Ge openly admitted that he had fallen for Leng Ying and even suggested to his original self to consider calling off their engagement.
The original self immediately collapsed. The man she had loved for so many years was snatched away by another woman?
She couldn’t give up, so she began to obstruct them in every way she could.
Leng Ying was very scheming and showed a proud demeanor in front of Ling Ge, as though she disdained to get involved in the emotional entanglement between him and his original self.
On one hand she showed pride, yet on the other hand, she strategically retreated to attract Ling Ge even more.
The original self, however, appeared willing to live or die for Ling Ge, desperately loving him in an overly humble manner.
In comparison, Ling Ge naturally found Leng Ying’s hot-and-cold demeanor much more intriguing and it fueled his desire to conquer.
In fact, the reason the original self realized something was wrong between them was that Leng Ying had deliberately made the situation a hot topic on the Star Network.
The original self was a proud person, so at first, she didn’t take the initiative to cause trouble for Leng Ying.
Instead, she kept pleading with Ling Ge, trying to warm his heart with her sincerity, hoping he would come back to her.
But Leng Ying, behind her back, intentionally kept finding opportunities and issues to provoke the original self.
Initially, the original self still had her rationale, but later, she became enraged and started to actively seek trouble with Leng Ying.
This made Ling Ge’s attitude toward the original self grow colder as he felt she was being unreasonable.
During a vacation in their sophomore year, the original self followed Ling Ge into the Ling Family Army. Ling Ge, being a Military Academy graduate employed in the army, was on duty while she was interning.
In one battle, Ling Ge, betrayed by someone he trusted, was surrounded by the Insect Clan, and the original self rushed in with her Qiangwei, sustaining severe injuries until the reinforcements arrived, saving Ling Ge’s life.
As a result of this rescue, the original self suffered serious damage to her spiritual power, and if she couldn’t recover later, she would no longer be able to create and pilot a mech.
This news saddened everyone across the Entire Empire.
The Luo family also lost a potential powerful heir because of this, and the Ling family felt very apologetic, so they asked the original self what she needed, promising to compensate.
The original self directly proposed marrying Ling Ge.
However, Ling Ge didn’t want to agree, as he had previously wanted to break off the engagement.
The Ling family wanted to facilitate the marriage, and with pressure from the Luo family, they ultimately forced Ling Ge to marry the original self.
Originally, Ling Ge felt somewhat remorseful because he owed the original self his life, but the forced marriage made him feel that she was coercing him with her favor, which he greatly resented.
Nevertheless, he eventually agreed to the marriage.
After the injury, the original self took a leave of absence from the Imperial Military Academy, focusing all her efforts and spirit on winning back Ling Ge and breaking him up with Leng Ying.
Thus, it was said that the Imperial Rose had withered.
Six months later, the two had their wedding.
On the day of the wedding, Leng Ying was injured while shooting a film, heavily and purportedly in a coma; her assistant called Ling Ge.
Thus, Ling Ge did not show up at the wedding, instead, he went to another star to see Leng Ying.
After finding out, the Ling family could only make up an excuse, claiming Ling Ge was called on a secret mission and the wedding had to be postponed.
With the groom absent on their wedding day, the original self was left alone, not only becoming a laughingstock herself but also embarrassing the Luo family.
Even so, the original self still did not give up on Ling Ge, instead, becoming even more tenacious.
The next day, the original self also received anonymously sent photos of Leng Ying and Ling Ge together in ambiguous poses, which further devastated her.
When Ling Ge returned, the original self forced him to register and collect their marriage certificate.
But after Ling Ge got the certificate, he went to the army, never held a wedding celebration, and never touched the original self.
Due to Ling Ge’s cold violence and Leng Ying continuously provoking from behind, the original self gradually lost her rationale and became corrupted.
She began to sabotage Ling Ge and Leng Ying, causing continuous misunderstandings between them, even going as far as using her influence to suppress Leng Ying.
She ended up playing the role of a villainous supporting character.
Thus, every time the original self caused disruptions leading to misunderstandings between those two, and after they cleared up the misunderstandings, their relationship only grew stronger and deeper.
Shockingly, the original self still endured it all.
After marriage, the original self even changed herself completely because Ling Ge said he preferred gentle, considerate, and virtuous women.
She completely gave up her career to focus solely on being a housewife, but Ling Ge still ignored her and even proposed they get a divorce.
The original self disagreed, then a "good friend" gave her an idea to win Ling Ge back.
So, she stole the data of a new type of Mecha that the Luo Family had just developed and gave it to Ling Ge.
Instead of monopolizing it for the Ling Family, Ling Ge, following Leng Ying’s advice, leaked the data, gaining both fame and fortune.
The original self’s reputation plummeted.
After all, she was once praised as the Rose of the Empire, a shining star from a powerful family. But for a man’s sake, she went and stole her family’s secret data, a move widely scorned.
The higher the standing, the harder the fall.
Then, Leng Ying let slip out stories of how the original self suppressed her, how she abused power to bully "the weak."
One by one, these stories turned the original self into a despicable figure, and Ling Ge, at this point, proposed divorce again.
The Luo Family, disappointed by the data theft, also felt Ling Ge was not a good match for her and did not interfere this time.
So, Ling Ge forcibly divorced her.
At this time, Leng Ying then revealed her identity as a great Mechanical Master.
She even developed a type of Mecha that people with less than "a" spiritual power could operate.
With her previous fame from the entertainment circle, she instantly became the inspirational figure widely sought after across the stars because of this achievement.
Ling Ge openly started a fervent pursuit of Leng Ying.
Because the pursuit came so soon after his divorce, Ling Ge faced some skepticism, such as allegations of infidelity during his marriage.
Then, rumors emerged claiming Ling Ge’s true love had always been Leng Ying, and the original self could only marry him by holding a life-saving favor over him.
More venomous rumors claimed he cruelly broke apart a loving couple, among other things.
The original self went from being the Empire’s celebrated Rose to a spiteful woman widely condemned on the Star Network.
Consequently, everyone was clamoring for the two to be together.
After pretending to consider for a few months, Leng Ying accepted Ling Ge’s marriage proposal.
On their wedding day, the original self was instigated by that "good friend" to create a scene at the ceremony.
Of course, she was unsuccessful and was forcibly taken away by the Luo Family and sent to a Remote Star.
No matter what, she was once a direct member of the Luo Family. Despite having a tarnished reputation and being an embarrassment, the Luo Family had not completely given up on her.
Sending her to the Remote Star was meant to let her temporarily escape the whirl of public opinion, to reflect and hope she could turn over a new leaf.
After a few years, when the incident had blown over, they would bring her back to the Imperial Capital Star, as people tend to forget.
Who knew that on the journey to the Imperial Capital Star, the interstellar spaceship unexpectedly exploded and the original self died in it.
The Luo Family certainly did not believe the explosion was an accident and began a thorough investigation.
As one of the four top families, they quickly traced the evidence back to Leng Ying.
It turned out that one of Leng Ying’s admirers, seeking to help her take revenge, had deliberately rigged the spaceship with a bomb, causing the explosion.
But the Luo Family did not believe Leng Ying was uninvolved.
So the Luo Family began their revenge.
By this time, Leng Ying’s influence was already great, with Ling Ge, who had completely taken control of the Ling Family, and several powerful protector suitors by her side.
She also had some dealings with the Star Thief Leader.
As a result, the Luo Family’s attempt at revenge not only failed, but Grandpa Luo and Father Luo were betrayed during a battle with the Insect Clan and were completely annihilated on the battlefield.
With the deaths of Old Master Luo and Father Luo, the Luo Family crumbled like a house of cards, largely swallowed up by the Ling Family and the rest by other families.
Meanwhile, Ling Ge and Leng Ying, one becoming the Imperial Marshal and the other a famous interstellar Mech Master, lived happily ever after.
After receiving these plot memories, Luo Ning reflected on the current time.
She found that today was just the day after the wedding.
Luo Ning narrowed her eyes; she had arrived just in time, not too late.
