Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?

When Chu Mengmeng woke up again, she found herself in an unfamiliar environment. The room was dimly lit, and the air was filled with a faint smell of blood. The burning sensation on her wrist had disappeared, but the red birthmark was brighter than before, as if silently telling something.

"Mengmeng, you're awake!" Lin Wan'er's anxious voice came from the bedside. She was pale, looked haggard, and there were traces of tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Wan'er, what happened? Why are we here?" Chu Mengmeng struggled to sit up, but felt dizzy.

"Don't talk yet, just have a good rest." Lin Wan'er helped Chu Mengmeng lie down, her tone full of worry, "We...we failed."

"Failed? What does that mean?" Chu Mengmeng's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition came to her mind.

"The leader of the Shadow Alliance...he suddenly changed his plan, and we fell into an ambush..." Lin Wan'er's voice became lower and lower, and she almost choked at the end.

"What about Xiao Yichen and Su Mubai? How are they?" Chu Mengmeng asked anxiously, her heart filled with fear.

Lin Wan'er was silent for a moment before she slowly said, "Master Su was seriously injured and is still unconscious. Master Xiao... in order to protect us, he was captured by the Shadow Alliance..."

Lin Wan'er didn't say anything more, but Chu Mengmeng already understood what she meant. In her mind, she saw Xiao Yichen fighting hard, and his gentle but firm eyes when he looked at her.

"No..." Chu Mengmeng burst into tears. She couldn't accept this cruel fact. She didn't have time to tell him that she had fallen in love with him...

At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and a tall figure walked in. Chu Mengmeng looked up and saw that the person was Xiao Yichen. He was covered in blood and his face was pale, but his eyes were still firm and full of strength.

"Yichen!" Chu Mengmeng was overjoyed. She wanted to get out of bed desperately, but was hugged by Xiao Yichen.

"Don't be afraid, I'm fine." Xiao Yichen's voice was low and hoarse, but full of comforting power.

"But..." Chu Mengmeng wanted to say something, but he hugged her tightly in his arms.

"Don't say anything. Now is not the time to talk." Xiao Yichen's tone was solemn. "We must leave here as soon as possible."

Xiao Yichen supported Chu Mengmeng and walked out of the room with Lin Wan'er, who looked solemn. A strong smell of blood hit her face, making Chu Mengmeng almost nauseous. The scene in front of her was even more shocking: the originally magnificent mansion was now in a mess, with traces of battles everywhere, several corpses lying on the ground, blood dyed the ground red, and the air was filled with the breath of death.

"How is Su Mubai?" Xiao Yichen asked in a low voice while observing his surroundings vigilantly.

"He's seriously injured, but his life is safe." Lin Wan'er's voice was a little tired. "I've given him some healing pills. Now we need to find a safe place for him to rest as soon as possible."

Xiao Yichen nodded, and the three of them carefully avoided the corpses on the ground and walked out. However, before they took a few steps, they heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming.

"Oh no, they are chasing us!" Lin Wan'er's face changed. She drew out the soft sword from her waist and protected Chu Mengmeng behind her.

Xiao Yichen also drew his sword, and stood back to back with Lin Wan'er, watching the surroundings vigilantly. Soon, more than a dozen men in black rushed in from all directions and surrounded them.

"Kill!" The leader of the men in black gave an order, and everyone brandished their swords and launched a fierce attack on them.

Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan'er were both highly skilled in martial arts, but they were helpless against the enemy who outnumbered them and all of them were well-trained killers, so they were unable to resist for a while.

"Mengmeng, be careful!" Lin Wan'er screamed. It turned out that a man in black took advantage of their unpreparedness, went around behind Chu Mengmeng, and slashed at her with a knife.

At the critical moment, Chu Mengmeng felt a flash before her eyes, and Xiao Yichen's figure was already blocking her. With a "clang" sound, the black-clothed man's knife chopped on Xiao Yichen's sword, sparks flying.

Although Xiao Yichen blocked the knife, he was also injured and his arm was covered in blood.

"Yi Chen!" Chu Mengmeng exclaimed and wanted to go forward to check his injuries, but was pulled behind by Xiao Yichen.

"Don't come over, it's dangerous here!" Xiao Yichen endured the pain and swung his sword to force back the man in black.

"Hmph, you are overestimating yourself!" The leader of the men in black sneered and ordered again, "Kill them all, leave no one alive!"

The men in black got the order and attacked them more frantically. Chu Mengmeng was protected by Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan'er. Although she was not injured, she witnessed the bloody battle with her own eyes and saw Xiao Yichen get injured in order to protect her. Her heart was filled with fear and self-blame.

"It's all because of me, it's all because of me..." Chu Mengmeng murmured to herself, tears flowing uncontrollably.

At this moment, Lin Wan'er groaned, her body swayed, and she almost fell to the ground. Chu Mengmeng hurriedly supported her, but found that her face was as pale as paper, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth.

"Wan'er, what's wrong with you?" Chu Mengmeng asked in panic.

"I'm fine, just a minor injury..." Lin Wan'er said with all her might, but her shaky body betrayed her.

Only then did Chu Mengmeng discover that there was a deep knife wound on Lin Wan'er's back, and the blood had dyed her clothes red.

"Wan'er, hold on, I will heal you right away!" Chu Mengmeng's tears burst out. With trembling hands, she tried to take out the pill from her arms, but she couldn't find it.

"It's useless..." Lin Wan'er said weakly, "My injuries are too severe. I've already..."

"No, no, you will be fine!" Chu Mengmeng shook her head desperately. She couldn't accept this fact. She couldn't lose Lin Wan'er, and couldn't lose any more friends.

Lin Wan'er looked at Chu Mengmeng, her eyes full of worry and reluctance. She wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing. She just slowly closed her eyes and fainted.

"Wan'er! Wan'er!" Chu Mengmeng hugged Lin Wan'er and cried in despair.

The shouts and sounds of swords clashing around her seemed to fade away from her, and the only things left in her world were Lin Wan'er's pale face and increasingly weak breathing.

An unprecedented feeling of helplessness and self-blame surrounded her, almost suffocating her.

Xiao Yichen and Su Mubai fought desperately, but they were outnumbered and suffered new wounds. Chu Mengmeng hugged the unconscious Lin Wan'er tightly, her eyes blurred with tears. This hellish scene deeply hurt her heart.

On the way to escape, Chu Mengmeng kept replaying the scenes just now in her mind: blood, corpses, Lin Wan'er's pale face...fear, self-blame, helplessness, all kinds of emotions intertwined together, making her breathless.

"Why? Why is it like this..." Chu Mengmeng murmured unconsciously, tears sliding down her cheeks and dripping onto Lin Wan'er's bloodstained collar.

"Mengmeng, don't be afraid, we will be fine." Xiao Yichen felt distressed when he saw Chu Mengmeng's distraught look. He endured the pain from his wound, gently held her hand, trying to give her some comfort.

However, Chu Mengmeng seemed to have not heard his words, her eyes were empty and lifeless. The optimism and confidence she once had were gone, replaced by deep confusion and self-doubt.

"It's all because of me... If I hadn't traveled through time, none of this would have happened..." Chu Mengmeng murmured to herself, her voice filled with pain and despair, "I'm not the chosen one at all. I'm just a disaster star that only brings disaster to those around me..."

"Mengmeng, don't say that!" Xiao Yichen hugged her in his arms with a heartache, "This is not your fault, you are not wrong!"

"But..." Chu Mengmeng leaned weakly on his shoulder, her tears soaking his clothes, "I can't do anything well. I can't protect my friends, and I can't protect myself..."

Seeing Chu Mengmeng collapse, Xiao Yichen felt distressed. He understood that the successive blows had overwhelmed her and her inner world was gradually collapsing. He had to do something to pull her back from the abyss.

He held Chu Mengmeng's face in his hands, looked at her with a firm gaze, and said word by word: "Mengmeng, look at me, listen to me, you are not a disaster star, you are my wife, Xiao Yichen, the one I want to protect with my life!"
