When She Stops Being Dramatic

Chapter 133: Chapter 65: Prima Donna of the 1960s Cultural Troupe (4)

This situation was exactly like the fuzzy memories Xia Zhaoyun had received.

But there were some differences. In her memories, she hadn’t had her household registration moved yet, let alone her name changed!

And when she was Song Ruoyun, she had also been framed by Song Zhenbao and branded a murderer.

Back then, every word Song Zhenbao said was a dagger to the heart. Song Ruoyun, intensely irritated, had merely pushed the girl aside, wanting to go downstairs on her own.

But Song Zhenbao used the momentum to tumble down the stairs, and the Song Family immediately turned on Song Ruoyun, blaming her for everything.

Even she couldn’t help but wonder if she had pushed too hard because she was upset.

’After all,’ she had thought, ’Song Zhenbao is just a country girl. How could she be so manipulative?’

Father Song had been furious, swinging with all his might to strike her, but Song Ruoyun dodged. The blow only landed on her shoulder, causing it to swell.

Unable to bear the grievance, she ran from the Song Family and moved into the singles’ dormitory on her own.

Still bearing the Song family name, she was filled with stifled resentment. Whenever people made snide remarks, she would fire back, unapologetic and self-righteous.

After being comforted by Tong Yuanbin downstairs, a moved Song Ruoyun blamed herself for not holding back and accidentally pushing Song Zhenbao. What she didn’t know was that he had recorded her words. This solidified the accusation of attempted murder, becoming a tool for the Song and Tong families to control her!

It was from that moment on that she began to earn the disgust of that hypocritical man.

But foolishly, as if her IQ had plummeted, she believed adversity revealed true love. She saw him as her only support. Not only did she accept him with all her heart, but she also began to break her own back, promising to endure her mother-in-law’s abuse just so he could focus on his studies in peace.

That night, just like tonight, everyone was in the same room, putting on a show of harmony.

So many details confirmed that the memories were real. ’Maybe... just like in the spooky stories we used to secretly pass around at school... maybe I’ve been reborn?’

How else could she explain having memories of the rest of her life?

In those memories, Song Ruoyun’s life became more than just miserable—it was an utter tragedy.

Her colleagues secretly poured ink on her bedding, planted steel nails in her dance shoes, smashed her lunch box, and jammed things into the lock of her cabinet...

These endless petty tricks severely affected her work and her rest.

Song Ruoyun was furious but could never catch the culprits, so she spent her days crying secretly under her blanket.

Just then, Tong Yuanbin—the man she had never paid much mind to—appeared like a Heavenly God. He solved all her problems, and to put her at ease, they secretly registered their marriage before graduation.

The torment from her mother-in-law, her husband’s emotional distance, her career struggles, and Song Zhenbao’s constant instigation all made her emotionally unstable. During a major performance, she fell and broke her leg. After that, she couldn’t even walk, let alone dance.

After that, her relationship with Tong Yuanbin grew increasingly strained until they finally, after endless arguments, had a bitter divorce.

When she returned to the Song Family, she had to watch as a joyous Song Zhenbao married into the Tong family, claiming she was atoning for her sister’s sins and would properly honor her new parents-in-law.

And after that, she was gang-raped at home by Song Huie and his men.

She thought that if she told her parents what had happened, she could get justice.

They did seek justice—but it was all for the benefit of the Song Family, and had absolutely nothing to do with her!

What she never expected was that this vicious couple, deeming her a disgrace, would change her surname and move her household registration. Then, they drugged her and sent her to the bed of a man in his fifties.

Now named Zhang Ruoyun, she despised her filthy, undignified existence. She took a fruit knife and castrated the man, but in the struggle, she was knocked into the corner of a glass coffee table, ending her short life.

It seemed she then spent some time as a wandering spirit. After a few years of Cultivation, she came to understand that she was nothing more than cannon fodder in a book. The plot of that book was deeply malicious toward her, designed only to use her supposed wickedness and tragic fate to highlight the protagonist’s kindness and happiness...

The main characters were Song Zhenbao, reborn to reclaim everything, and Tong Yuanbin, the brilliant and handsome man who had been held back by his scum-of-the-earth ex-wife.

One of them joined the Revolutionary Committee and went around denouncing people, using his position to quietly win over supporters.

Song Zhenbao secretly hoarded countless treasures, all under the noble-sounding pretext of ”protecting precious heirlooms left by the ancestors.”

Once the winds of reform began to blow, she sold off the items and converted the money into real estate. She became a carefree landlady, living a comfortable life of supporting her husband and raising her children, who all grew up to be successful.

The other, Tong Yuanbin, rose steadily through the ranks after joining a factory. When the factory was struggling, he took over a workshop and, riding that same wave of reform, broke into the wildly profitable garment market. Step by step, he skillfully managed to acquire the entire Zhaoyang Clothing Factory.
