Chapter 124: Chapter 124: She Has Done This for 11 Years

Lin Wei said with a perfectly straight face, “I really did transmigrate. I’m from the year 2085. Where I’m from, we all travel by spaceship, and our houses are mobile living spaces on those ships. We stopped living in houses like yours a long time ago! Your era is so primitive!”

Beautiful Alone: “…”

He didn’t believe her at first, but Lin Wei was very insistent.

What’s more, she had completely forgotten everything that had ever happened between them. All she would say was that she wasn’t Lin Wei and remembered none of it.

Lin Wei described everything in painstaking detail, making it all sound so logical, as if it were all true.

Furthermore, Lin Wei’s personality had changed. She became warm and outgoing, not at all how a wife and mother was supposed to be.

She used to have high expectations for the children’s schoolwork and was very strict with her daily discipline.

But after that, she stopped caring about their studies. She’d spend all day playing video games, watching TV, and eating snacks with the kids.

It was like she had actually become younger and lazier, doing nothing but have fun all day.

She stopped doing chores, washing clothes, or even buying groceries to cook. The house was covered in dust.

As time went on, it became very hard on Beautiful Alone.

He worked hard to make a living every day, only to come home and have to take care of the kids, do chores, and wait on the entire family.

At this point, the man heaved a heavy sigh. “My perfectly normal wife suddenly turned into a girl in her twenties. I feel like I’ve gained another daughter. And more importantly, she talks in this whiny, cutesy voice.”

Shen Zhiyao said, “Don’t you men all like them young and beautiful? Now that your wife has actually become young, you’re not happy about it.”

Beautiful Alone said miserably, “Her mindset might have gotten younger, but her body is still bloated and overweight. She doesn’t dress as sloppily as she used to, but she’s constantly asking me for money. Every time she asks, it’s for thousands. My credit card is maxed out this month! Also, she’s gotten really scary lately. Every night, late at night, she’ll sit at the head of the bed combing her hair and singing *Red Bridal Gown*. I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in ages. Streamer, has the soul inside my wife turned evil? I just feel like… she’s become malicious…”

Shen Zhiyao’s brow furrowed slightly, sensing something was off. “Has your wife done anything bad? What makes you say she’s evil? Can you be more specific?”

“All she does now is shop, dress up, and put on makeup, completely ignoring everything at home. I have two kids, one in fourth grade and one in fifth. A few days ago, one of them got into trouble at school. The teacher contacted her, but she just said, ’What do I care if the kid lives or dies? If there’s a problem, go find his dad!’”

“Seriously, it’s driving me crazy! Life is so hard for me right now. I get up at five every day to make breakfast for the kids, then take them to school before I can go to work. Because I’m late from taking them to school, my boss has been chewing me out for two months straight!”

“Then when I get home, I still have to do the laundry, cook dinner, and do all the chores! And what about her? She spends her days putting on makeup, dressing up, and shopping. When she gets home, she just binge-watches shows, and at night, she sits up in bed singing and ruining my sleep!”

“She’s acting like this, and you’re telling me that’s not pure evil?!”

Just then, he heard the door open.

“Oh, crap, my wife’s back! I’ll let you see her. Let’s see what the hell she’s possessed by that’s made her completely stop caring about her own family!”

He slipped his phone into his pocket with the camera pointing out, then opened the door to greet his wife.

His wife, Lin Wei, was nearly forty. Her figure had gotten a little plump, and she was wearing an indigo coat, carrying shopping bags of all sizes in her hands.

The mere sight of all those shopping bags made Beautiful Alone’s heart ache!

“Jeez! How could you buy so much stuff again? We’re running out of space at home, and you’re still buying more!”

Lin Wei smiled, showing off her purchases. “Ta-da! I only bought makeup this time, so it won’t go in the closet. And I bought perfume, too. Here, smell! This perfume is just like the ones from my time. I love it!”

Beautiful Alone’s face instantly darkened. “Our daughter has asthma; she can’t be around perfume. Don’t you know that? If you’re wearing a scent that strong, how are you supposed to take care of her?”

“She has asthma? I had no idea! Well, if she has asthma, I’ll just stay away from her from now on. Or you could just buy a robot to take care of the kid!”

“Where am I supposed to find a housekeeping robot? You tell me! Aren’t you tired of this act yet? You say your soul is from 2085? Do you have any proof? I think you’ve just been faking it for the past two months so you don’t have to do any work!”

“Who has time to put on an act for you? Let me tell you something! In 2085, my family lived in a 30,000-square-meter mansion with 12 housekeeping robots! I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth, what right do you have to judge me? You’re just a poor slob who can’t afford a robot, so you expect me to do the work? Says who?”

With that, she slapped Beautiful Alone across the face.

Then, humming a tune, she went into the bathroom, eager to try out her new face mask.

Beautiful Alone clutched his stinging cheek. “Streamer, did you see that clearly? That person is my wife. She’s been possessed by a young girl from 2085. For two months now, she’s taken no responsibility for the kids, shown no intention of doing housework, and does nothing but spend money all day long. Streamer, I can’t take this anymore! Please, you have to help me!”

Just then, his wife walked out of the bathroom. “Hey! I signed up for a yoga class today. The tuition is twenty thousand, so transfer me the money in a bit. I have to lose weight, or I won’t be able to fit into my crop tops anymore.”

Beautiful Alone was at his wits’ end. “Why don’t you take a look at yourself? You’re almost forty! And you’re signing up for a yoga class? Do you really think you’re still a twenty-five-year-old girl?”

“Streamer, you see now, right? Is there any way you can make my wife’s soul come back? I can’t go on living like this for another single day!”

Perhaps because he had been so exhausted lately, the grown man felt so wronged that he actually began to cry.

Dude, your wife looks so much better now! What are you crying for? Other guys would kill to be in your shoes!

Just have a good cry and sleep it off. After all, you’ve got to get up early tomorrow to cook, take the kids to school, and take care of your new-era trophy wife!

So what if your wife’s soul was swapped? You’ll get used to it eventually. It’ll be fine!

Count your blessings! A twenty-five-year-old woman from 2085 whose soul traveled back decades, ended up with an old man, and has two kids that aren’t even hers… If that were me, I’d have been long gone!

I think your wife is the more pitiful one here. She spent over a decade taking care of the kids, all while having to watch her body get out of shape and her face get old. If that were me, I’d never be able to accept being so mediocre. It’s just a few tens of thousands! Just give her the money!

The viewers’ attempts at “comfort” only made Beautiful Alone feel more wronged, and his tears fell one by one.

Shen Zhiyao had already seen through it all. “She didn’t transmigrate,” she said, “and she’s not an evil spirit.”

“What? She didn’t transmigrate? Then why did she turn out like this?” Beautiful Alone had been so convinced that his wife’s change was due to transmigration that hearing it wasn’t true completely threw him for a loop.

“She didn’t transmigrate. Her mind was just under a prolonged state of repression, and it finally snapped.” Shen Zhiyao raised a hand and tapped her own forehead.

Shen Zhiyao continued, “Don’t you have any idea how much pressure she was under? You’ve been taking care of the kids and doing the housework for two months, and you’re already at your breaking point. And she’s been doing it for eleven years!”
