The day after Lin Mùcí returned to school, rumors spread like wildfire.
The students of Gèchéng No. 1 High School were bewildered.
Lin Mùcí seemed like a completely different person.
She was now a fierce, madwoman!
After all, her previous impression was that of a complete pushover.
As long as it didn't involve Líng Qiānhé, she wouldn't react to any insults.
She was insecure, timid, and could be bullied at will!
But now.
Her temper was incredibly explosive!
Male students called her ugly.
Lin Mùcí directly cursed back.
"Get lost. You're good-looking? Don't look in the mirror. Your face is full of acne, you bald toad. How dare you talk about me?"
"I'm a youthful, invincible beauty. If you think I'm ugly, you're blind."
"What, want to tell the teacher? Go ahead, do you think anyone will pay attention to you, you lifelong failure of a tattletale!"
Not only did she furiously curse the classmates who bullied her,
She also transformed herself!
She turned around and went to the most high-end hair salon at the school entrance, getting the most magnificent and stylish haircut!
With a plasma perm and hair treatment, her perfectly smooth long hair accentuated her delicate, small face. Her heavy bangs were thinned out, framing a pair of large, watery eyes.
She was both lively and charming, at seventeen or eighteen years old, so tender she looked like she could be squeezed for juice.
Lin Mùcí preemptively used her system to cash in points.
She redeemed a Beauty Pill.
After taking the Beauty Pill,
Lin Mùcí's appearance instantly recovered seven to eight tenths of its peak state.
Truth be told, while this young girl's appearance was a bit different from her original, she was still pretty and delicate, possessing an excellent temperament with great potential.
With a bit of makeup, she immediately stood out from the crowd.
Lin Mùcí stood amidst the throng, very eye-catching!
No matter how you looked at her, she was a pretty and delicate campus belle.
When the school bell rang, Lin Mùcí grabbed her schoolbag, planning to go home.
A young man in a white school uniform walked up to Lin Mùcí. He glanced at her.
"Hey! Stop right there!"
Lin Mùcí tilted her head up to look at him, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
The young man in the white school uniform, judging by his expression, seemed rather ill at ease.
He scratched his head, his voice low.
"You... why have you suddenly become so beautiful?"
"Lin Mùcí, did you get plastic surgery?"
The system emitted a cheerful prompt in Lin Mùcí's mind.
"Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a new romanceable target~"
"School bully Zhōu Yuǎn'ān. Romanceable instance: The School Bully's Darkened Little Fairy."
"Host, you are currently playing the role of that darkened little fairy!"
Lin Mùcí refused without a second thought.
"No time for instances."
"I don't have that much time!"
Back then, it was just a moment's lapse in judgment.
Instead of sticking to the main path,
She insisted on trying to romance Líng Qiānhé, the highest difficulty villain instance of a yandere younger brother.
That's how she ended up in a state worse than human or ghost, nearly vanishing into thin air.
Now, she would definitely learn from her mistakes.
Those she could provoke, and those she couldn't!
She wouldn't provoke anyone!
Lin Mùcí maintained a stern face.
She couldn't be bothered to deal with him.
However, even though Lin Mùcí thought this, she couldn't stop him from persistently approaching her.
Zhōu Yuǎn'ān, seeing that Lin Mùcí didn't react, let out a cold snort. Then, without any hesitation, he reached out and grabbed Lin Mùcí's wrist.
"Lin Mùcí, why aren't you talking to me?"
"What, holding a grudge? I just badmouthed your idol Líng Qiānhé last semester, and you're still holding a grudge now?"
Lin Mùcí raised her gaze.
She looked at Zhōu Yuǎn'ān calmly.
Directly striking at his heart!
"Why should I talk to you?"
Lin Mùcí paused, then asked the soul-searching question.
"Don't you know that simps have no good endings?"
When Zhōu Yuǎn'ān heard Lin Mùcí say this,
His cheeks grew cold.
Lin Mùcí's words seemed to have struck a nerve. He gritted his teeth and said,
"Lin Mùcí, why are you so fierce?"
"I might not be as refined, as popular, or as successful in the entertainment industry as that pretty boy Líng Qiānhé."
"But I'm not bad in school either. I'm a starter on the basketball team and the football team, and I'm also the campus heartthrob of our school!"
"Besides, I've helped you out a few times when you were bullied. Can't you just like me properly? Why do you have to be a crazy fan of Líng Qiānhé?"
"Are you happy when people laugh at you?"
Lin Mùcí's head ached at the mention of Líng Qiānhé.
"I am not a crazy fan of Líng Qiānhé!"
The young man opposite her was fierce, his almond-shaped eyes wide.
"Then why won't you be my girlfriend?"
"You just like Líng Qiānhé!"
"The whole school knows that you skipped class and school to queue up and buy his albums. To boost the sales of Líng Qiānhé's merchandise, you'd skip meals to buy it. You even refused when I offered to buy it for you, saying I was defiling the little brother in your heart."
When Zhōu Yuǎn'ān brought this up, his expression was a little wronged.
"What's so great about Líng Qiānhé? Why do you girls like him as if you've lost your minds?"
Lin Mùcí wished she could swear an oath.
She truly didn't like Líng Qiānhé!
She had no good feelings towards Líng Qiānhé. Who would like that dark, little brat!
But the problem now was that she couldn't explain it.
Lin Mùcí simply shut her mouth and didn't explain.
Zhōu Yuǎn'ān glanced at Lin Mùcí, then continued indignantly,
"People in your class say you've been spreading rumors, claiming you are the eldest daughter of the Lin family?"
"Lín Miàoyǔ and Lín Yángbīn are not the so-called rich siblings they claim to be. They're lying?"
Zhōu Yuǎn'ān asked Lin Mùcí.
"Why would you tell such easily debunked lies?"
"Don't you think you've been mocked enough? There's nothing shameful about having a poor family background, but you shouldn't lie. Being exposed is even more embarrassing!"
Lin Mùcí was almost amused by the original host.
What exactly had the original host done?
To cause such a misunderstanding?
A top wealthy family's eldest daughter, scavenging for scraps, saving money on meals to buy merchandise for her idol.
Being overshadowed by the children of a mistress.
Lin Mùcí felt suffocated just thinking about it, so wronged that she ultimately died from it. Her final wish was that her idol would like her, and look at her.
"Wake up!"
The original host was too pathetic!
She put on a cold expression.
Then she sneered.
"I'm spreading rumors?"
"What I said is the truth."
Lin Mùcí raised her eyebrows, then said,
"My mother is the legitimate eldest daughter of the Lin family, and I am the future heir of the Lin family."
"As for Lín Miàoyǔ and Lín Yángbīn, their mother was merely my mother's nanny before!"
She was determined to speak the truth.
They were lying.
Let them die!
Zhōu Yuǎn'ān stared at Lin Mùcí with disbelief.
He felt as if Lin Mùcí had changed into a completely different person. How could she be so fierce?
She was even telling people to get lost and die?
His little fairy seemed to have been bullied into darkness, learned to lie, and lost all her former innocence and cuteness!
