The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 612 - 601: My Daughter Is a Vicious Supporting Female Character 1

Anning accepted the memories of the woman and finally understood what was going on.

The woman came from a modern society, but this modern society was different from the one she had visited before.

The modern society she had visited before had emerged after a century of painful warring following the end of the imperial era, while the modern society the woman belonged to transitioned directly from a monarchy.

Although the imperial system was no longer in place and equality among all was emphasized, this modern society still retained an ancient charm that was more pronounced than what she had experienced before.

There were also many noble families and aristocrats, and even though society was now egalitarian, some people were still concerned about one’s origin. Discussing one’s family background, whether they came from a noble family or were descendants of ancient famous ministers or great generals, was just another means to boast more than others.

Of course, there weren’t any substantial benefits; it was just a way to add some luster to oneself.

The woman’s name was Sheng Anning, and she was the sole heir of the Sheng Family, a millennium-old noble house.

The Sheng Family was indeed a prominent clan throughout the entire history of Huaxia.

Over more than a thousand years, the Sheng Family had produced countless famous ministers and generals, along with top figures in various fields.

The Sage of Painting from that timeline’s Huaxia bore the surname Sheng; there were founding generals of several dynasties also named Sheng, as well as prime ministers who spurred the development of dynasties, famous ministers who reformed certain dynasties, calligraphers, gourmets... in short, top figures in their fields were all connected to the surname Sheng.

In the recent modern times, the Sheng Family had produced scientists and literary figures as well.

Furthermore, there was also a monk from ancient times whose secular family name before he took his vows was Sheng.

This goes to show just how distinguished the Sheng Anning’s family was.

However, the Sheng Family suffered countless deaths and injuries in an upheaval two hundred years ago, and since then, Sheng Anning was the only direct descendant left.

Sheng Anning started her enlightenment at the age of three and began memorizing her family tree as soon as she learned to read. Her family’s genealogy was even more intriguing than history books; it filled several bookcases, along with various kinds of literary works, paintings, antiques, and so forth, passed down through the family’s direct line.

All in all, although the Sheng Family didn’t appear wealthy, they were actually a household with profound heritage.

Sheng Anning took pride in her family. Despite being the last of her line, she always lived a positive and upward life; her aspiration was to carry on the family lineage.

Sheng Anning was discreet and never talked about her background with classmates at school; people just thought of her as an orphan and assumed she came from a poor household.

Later on, Sheng Anning attended university and dated someone during her studies; this person was named Zou Huai De, and despite his name, he lacked any semblance of virtue.

Zou Huai De came from a rural background; a typical "phoenix man" who ascended despite his origins, owing to good academic results and seemingly proactive and ambitious character.

Zou Huai De took a liking to Sheng Anning at first sight, mainly because of her good looks and temperament, but most importantly because she was an orphan without family burdens.

Zou Huai De thought marrying such a wife would ease his life.

Although Sheng Anning descended from the Sheng Family, which never judged heroes based on their origins, she appreciated Zou Huai De’s drive. After dating for two years and finding him suitable, she entered the marriage immediately after graduating.

Logically, even if Zou Huai De was somewhat cunning, with his capabilities and talents and Sheng Anning to assist him, they should have had a prosperous life.

But Zou Huai De was insatiably greedy.

After Sheng Anning became pregnant, he met Liu Yue Mei, who came from a well-off family.

Liu Yue Mei fancied Zou Huai De, and he too believed that Liu Yue Mei’s family background could offer him greater support. One thing led to another, and the two of them ended up together.

Then, Liu Yue Mei also became pregnant.

At that time, Sheng Anning had already given birth to a daughter.

After becoming pregnant, Liu Yue Mei began to pester Zou Huai De. She had family heritage and background, so Zou Huai De did not dare to offend her.

However, Zou Huai De was not willing to divorce Sheng Anning.

He feared that proposing divorce would make Sheng Anning notice his affair with Liu Yue Mei, and that causing a scene would ruin his reputation.

Zou Huai De decided to act decisively, bringing his mother over to help take care of the child. When the child was two months old, he sweet-talked Sheng Anning into wanting to experience a world just for the two of them, took her out for fun, and then, when they were playing in the mountains, took advantage of Sheng Anning’s guard being down to push her off a cliff.

This was planned in advance with Liu Yue Mei.

After Sheng Anning was pushed off the cliff, Zou Huai De found a woman who closely resembled her to impersonate her. Upon returning, this woman who looked very much like Sheng Anning eloped with someone else.

Zou Huai De then put on an appearance of extreme agony.

After waiting for some time, Zou Huai De married Liu Yue Mei.

Actually, Sheng Anning had died after falling from the mountain but her spirit remained with Zou Huai De.

She watched as Zou Huai De and Liu Yue Mei had another daughter, yet they kept it a secret and waited several months before registering the daughter’s birth.

She saw that Zou Huai De began to grow tired of his eldest daughter after the birth of his second one.

And Liu Yue Mei began to abuse her own daughter too.

If it weren’t for the fact that the child’s grandma had a bit of conscience, occasionally taking care of her, the child might not have survived to grow up.

Only when the child started school and began to understand things did Liu Yue Mei start to ruin Sheng Anning’s reputation everywhere, saying she was no good, had betrayed Zou Huai De, abandoned her husband and child to elope with someone else, and also saying Sheng Anning came from a poor background, was unruly since childhood without parental discipline, and was vulgar and intolerable.

At this time, Zou Huai De also nodded in agreement.

Like this, the two of them slowly twisted the young child’s character.

Sheng Anning was furious and full of hatred, but she was completely helpless.

When Zou Jingjing, Sheng Anning’s daughter, reached the age of fifteen or sixteen, she began to rebel, often hanging out with ruffians, not studying, and at this time, Liu Yue Mei would say that like mother, like daughter, claiming Sheng Anning had no upbringing, so her child also had none.

Whereas Zou Xuexuan, the daughter Liu Yue Mei had, was raised well from childhood, learning various special skills, and with Liu Yue Mei’s guidance, met various talented individuals. Raised to be well-educated with a fine disposition, she was a stark contrast to Zou Jingjing.

When Zou Jingjing turned sixteen, she was discovered singing in a song hall and entered the entertainment industry.

Her vocal conditions were good, she especially loved music, and was also beautiful. She debuted through a talent show and then became famous across Hua Country. Three years later, she became the true Queen of Heaven.

Later, she further improved her acting skills by appearing in some TV dramas and movies, becoming a notable figure in the entertainment industry.

Zou Xuexuan, on the other hand, attended a prestigious school, debuted after graduation, and soared to fame following a TV drama, creating a persona of an academic prodigy. Furthermore, it was discovered that she came from a distinguished maternal family, making her liked by many for being from a well-known noble family.

Later, both girls clashed in various aspects, and every time Zou Xuexuan overshadowed Zou Jingjing. Zou Jingjing didn’t finish high school; she had poor grades then, lacked education, and had a bad temper, slowly becoming the subject of mockery online.

Later, both girls fell for the same man, and this man preferred Zou Xuexuan. Zou Jingjing met a dismal end due to several sabotages and even after death was slandered, closing her eyes with a bad name.

Anning fully sympathized with Sheng Anning after receiving her memories.

"I want my daughter to be well, I want to continue the Sheng family legacy."

At this time, Sheng Anning no longer harbored as much hatred, her demands became much more rational: "Of course, it would be best if that despicable pair didn’t end well."

Anning smiled: "As you wish."
