Transmigration: President Wang, Your Wife Is An Assassin!
"President Wang, your wife just issued a threat to the manager of Zhao Company. He's en route to file a report at the—" "Did she at least leave him with all his limbs intact?" Sebastian raised an eyebrow, his expression reflecting astonishment. "Color me surprised." Another individual entered his office. "President Wang, your wife has just dismissed the Senior Director. Regrettably, it's led to quite a chaotic situation and—" "I was planning to let him go anyway." _____ Olivia Shang, once an assassin, fell victim to her colleagues' jealousy and was murdered. Through an otherworldly occurrence, she found herself transmigrated into the body of Jolene Yu, an unattractive young woman within the pages of a comic book. Jolene Yu, an expendable character, grapples with a terminal illness and endures harsh treatment from everyone around her. Her stepsister even goes to the extent of arranging for her life to be cut short by hired hands. However, before any harm can befall her, a mysterious man intervenes, claiming to be her husband. Upon awakening in this feeble form, Olivia realizes she cannot endure the torment and resolves to confront those who have bullied her. With her past assailants nowhere to be found, she seizes the opportunity to rectify her past mistakes. Yet, the sudden appearance of a stranger insisting to be her husband baffles her. And he wasn't just a stranger, he was the fifth young master of the Wang Family, a ferocious man known as the Devil's first son and also the CEO and founder of a very famous tech company. After enduring untold suffering in her previous life, having been exploited as a tool, Olivia swears not to squander the new lease on life she's been granted. Even if it means eliminating the story's designated female lead to ensure her survival, she's prepared to do so. Even if she must manipulate her family's wealth to fund her surgery, she's resolute! All for the sake of rewriting her unfortunate fate. But is there not a popular say that an assassin is always an assassin? FL: Stubborn and Smart. ML: Caring and Cruel. Excerpt* Jolene smirked, "Can't even help your own wife?" Sebastian's brows furrowed seeing her change in countenance. Wasn't she the one begging that she would pay him back for his care? How could she change all of a sudden like she was demanding from him? "I have things to do right now. I'll sort this out when I'm back from work," Sebastian replied, his expression blank. Jolene shook her head in wonder before saying, "The last time you came back from work, you were drunk. And that was yesterday. Today you are off to work without seeing me? We have only shared one or two words for the past two weeks." Sebastian was startled at her confrontation but Jolene wasn't done yet. "Mr. Wang, is that how to treat your wife?" Sebastian swallowed, looking down at Jolene. He said, "Are you going to cause a scene here, Miss Jolene?" "You mean Mrs. Wang? I am Mrs. Wang for christ's sake. Your wife." Jolene folded her arms before saying, "I think there is a need to complete the documents signing. I want to sign it completely and then we will perform a grand wedding to let everyone know that you are married to me. Don't worry, after the contract has expired, we can announce that we have divorced. I won't take a penny from you, it is written that way in the agreement, right?" "Miss Jolene, you must understand that legally you can not fulfil the signatures since you aren't mentally stable. It may be termed that you signed it under manipulation or anything related, so we have to ensure that you are medically upright before you can sign any legal documents." Jolene chuckled before releasing her arms, "Is this young man trying to say that I'm crazy?" Jolene shook her head, knowing what she was doing was dramatic. Actually, she needed the drama to confirm something which she had for 57% be assured of.
Jolene's Adversaries
Olivia released her grip on the maid's trembling neck, her fingers gradually relaxing as she took a deliberate step back.
With her emerald eyes locked onto the maid, Olivia seemed to convey an unspoken warning simmering beneath the surface.
The maid, now gasping for air, clutched her throat, wide-eyed with shock and fear.
She never expected this young miss, rumoured to be very weak, to possess such strength and ruthlessness.
Olivia's lips curled into a cold smile as she brushed past the maid, her voice dripping with icy resolve. "I'll go wherever I please. No one can keep me caged."
Olivia then proceeded to continue down the corridor, her thoughts racing.
From her peripheral vision, Olivia could see that the huge man she had come across seemed slightly taken aback.
He had moved his massive frame to one side so that she could pass. Something Olivia gladly accepted.
Olivia needed answers, and the old woman held the key to unravelling the mysteries of this strange world.
However, Sebastian was getting in her way.
If only Olivia had followed Sebastian, she would have been able to ask her questions right after the old woman regained consciousness.
As she walked, Olivia avoided gawking at the extravagance of the villa's interior.
Her mind raced with different questions pertaining to who Jolene was.
"He called Jolene his wife, however, even a mere maid dares look down on her."
"Jolene, tell me, how much more useless are you?"
The words of the maid echoed in Olivia's mind, leading her to another question: "How can Jolene's existence tarnish the young man's reputation?"
Olivia needed to piece everything together and understand the reason for her transmigration.
Turning a corner, Olivia nearly collided with a servant carrying a tray of delicate porcelain teacups.
Olivia skillfully avoided the collision, her eyes narrowing as she studied the servant.
"Where is the old woman?" Olivia asked, her voice firm.
Olivia felt she couldn't afford any more delays.
As Olivia pondered various matters in such a short period since separating from the maid and the man with the huge frame, she welcomed the arrival of a headache.
Touching her forehead to alleviate her sudden pain, Olivia inquired, "Is the Young Master back?"
"Which Young Master, Miss Jolene?" The servant responded respectfully.
"The Fifth Young Master."
"He is not back, Miss Jolene," the servant replied.
Hearing the servant's words, Olivia realised she couldn't do anything related to the old woman.
With no other option but to wait, Olivia figured she might as well read the book the old woman had given her, hoping to find some insight on how to return to Xi Village.

When Sebastian got out of the car after reaching the hospital, the driver also got out, carrying the old woman, and they both rushed into the hospital.
Sebastian was given immediate attention due to his status as the founder and president of WangZ Innovations, a successful tech startup that specialised in artificial intelligence and robotics.
Sebastian's interest in improving healthcare through technology was evident in the new inventions that his company had developed.
Sebastian and his company had provided support to various hospitals, including the one he had just rushed into.
As two nurses approached to check on the old woman, who had now been placed on the bed and was breathing faintly, the doctor, having heard of Sebastian's impromptu appearance, didn't hesitate to meet with him.
While Sebastian paced outside the ward, his mind filled with questions about what Jolene could have done to make the old woman collapse, his attention was abruptly redirected when the doctor intervened.
"Good day, Mr. Wang. It is quite unexpected to see you here. Shall we take a walk to my office? There, you can sit comfortably, and I will offer you—"
"Doctor," Sebastian's flat voice interrupted, leaning more towards the cold side and filled with slight irritation, leaving the doctor standing before him stunned.
"What is your true profession? Chatting or attending to the patients?" Sebastian asked.
Before the doctor could respond, his mind torn between what might have irritated the young man and how to pacify him, Sebastian's phone rang.
Bowing respectfully, Sebastian answered the call and moved away from the doctor's presence.
"Sean."
"I've investigated the man, President Wang."
Sebastian looked around, ensuring he had some privacy before proceeding. "What did you find?"
"Our suspected target was hired by Miss Jolene's stepsister, Miss Allison. Jax Xu is a private investigator known for his ruthless tactics. He is relentless in his pursuits and has the support of several influential figures."
Sebastian fell silent for a moment, his fist clenched before he let out a sigh. "So, that useless woman hasn't given up yet, even after attempting to harm her own sister?"
"Yes, President Wang. Miss Allison appears determined. She is well aware that Miss Jolene now resides with you, as rumours travel swiftly."
"Find out more about him, especially his weaknesses, and..."
"I'm afraid I can't gather more information at the moment—"
Sebastian abruptly ended the call before Sean could finish his sentence.
Sebastian cared little about how his secretary might obtain more information.
All Sebastian knew was that he needed more details.
Jolene faced more adversaries than he had initially thought.
However, Sebastian wasn't about to allow Jolene to be stripped of her rights, especially in her current vulnerable state.
