Trapped in a chaotic situation, the little beauty is kissed until she cries every night.

Chapter 8 Mingde Academy
Knowing the truth, the Ming family members felt awkward.

Zhuang Mei's smile faded, and she was the first to release her grip on Ming Hua's hand, turning to stand next to Ming Zhu, her tone cold.

"If there's nothing else, go upstairs and rest."

"We will arrange for someone to take you to Mingde College tomorrow morning."

"When you get to the academy, study hard under your sister's guidance, and don't bring back any of your bad habits from that garbage planet."

As Zhuang Mei spoke, she frowned, a hint of regret flashing in her eyes.

If they had known Minghua would grow up to be this beautiful, they wouldn't have rushed to dump her on a garbage planet.

According to the information I found, Minghua never went to school on the garbage planet and was almost useless except for her pretty face.

They knew nothing of the etiquette and learning of the nobility, and were afraid of offending people if they were sent out to serve them.

Even the powerful and wealthy on the main star have certain standards when it comes to looks.

Left with no other choice, the Ming family spent a sum of money to send Ming Hua to Mingde Academy, a prestigious academy on the main planet.

Mingde Academy, the top high school in the empire, not only boasts an extremely powerful mecha department, but also departments like etiquette and history that offer a "laissez-faire" approach and practically a guaranteed graduation.

For a good-for-nothing spendthrift, tuition fees are high, but it's something to be proud of.

For geniuses, the annual scholarships can amount to hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan, truly befitting the top university in the capital.

Zhuang Mei felt a pang of heartache when she thought about the money she had spent to send Ming Hua to Mingde Academy, and she became even more displeased with people.

The money wasn't much for the Ming family; they simply felt that Ming Hua didn't deserve it.

Upon hearing this, Minghua gave a soft "hmm," indicating that she did indeed want to study and thus agreed.

"I see."

After Zhuang Mei finished speaking, she took Mingzhu's arm and walked upstairs affectionately, occasionally letting words related to Fu Shizheng slip out during their conversation.

Mingzhu couldn't hide her smugness as she looked at Zhuang Mei and said reproachfully:

"Mom, I already told you, if Brother Shizheng didn't show up, he must have left early because of some urgent matter."

"You know, I am the first 'S' grade healer in the history of the empire. My healing power and mental power are intertwined. How could he not like me?"

"I heard that his mental state has been starting to become volatile lately. Even if it's not because of feelings, but for other reasons, he couldn't possibly dislike me."

"You're something else. We agreed that one of us would play the bad cop and the other the good cop, but you changed the script completely."

The initial plan, of course, was for Minghua to sleep in the basement.

Mingzhu, being a good older sister, couldn't stand it and instead spoke up for them, asking them to arrange other rooms.

Zhuang Mei, feeling somewhat embarrassed by the lecture, showed a hint of annoyance on her face.
"How was I supposed to know she was so useless?"

"What good is a pretty face? So many men came to the banquet today, and I didn't manage to hook up with a single useful one."

Minghua's path was arranged from the very beginning when she was brought back to the Ming family.

In coordination with Mingzhu's seduction of powerful and wealthy individuals to gain benefits, this serves as a stepping stone to help Mingzhu marry into a top family on the main star.

However, none of the people from the top families on the main star are easy to approach. Ever since Mingzhu was born and tested to have an "S" level talent, other families have been eager to establish connections with them.

These top elites remain firmly in their positions, only sending small gifts to Mingzhu on her birthday each year.

It's as if even the "S" level healing power of this pearl is nothing special, offering no preferential treatment.

They all knew that this group of people were waiting for Mingzhu to come of age before making any plans.

Who knew that Ming Hua's mere appearance today would seduce Fu Shizheng, prompting his assistant to come and invite her alone? Even if it's just to have Ming Hua as a mistress, it would still be a huge profit for the Ming family.

That's why Zhuang Mei's expression changed immediately.

Now that he knows the "truth," he quickly changed his mind and patted Mingzhu's hand, giving her some instructions.

"You've come of age today, so from now on you can receive mental soothing."

"Top-tier SSS-level mental power users who have been observing from the sidelines will gradually appear before you, seeking reassurance."

"Healers are rare and precious. The Empire has always advocated pairing one healer with multiple mentalists. Zhuzhu, you must seize this opportunity."

"It's natural."

A smile played on her lips. As the first "S"-rank healer in the empire's millennia-long history, she had astonished the galaxy and received much attention since childhood. How could she possibly be content to marry only one man?

She wanted all the top nobles with SSS-level mental power talents to fall at her feet and support her as the new uncrowned queen.

It must be said that Mingzhu has great ambitions.

Unfortunately, Minghua's SSS-level healing talent was even more powerful than hers, which meant her ambitions were destined to fail.

second floor bedroom
After a quick wash, Minghua lay down on the bed.

I'm using my computer to search for information about Mingde Academy.

Having just returned to the main planet from a garbage planet, they didn't understand many things.

The technology of the interstellar era is thousands of years ahead of that of the post-apocalyptic world. Fortunately, Minghua is smart enough to quickly figure out how to use the terminal.

The original owner was abandoned on a garbage planet and grew up. When she occasionally acted strangely, everyone just assumed it was because she was ignorant and didn't think much of it.

After searching, Minghua felt relieved.

As expected of a top university, there are so many opportunities.

Mingde Academy has a separate game pod that can connect to the StarNet. She can use the school's game pod to register a shop on the StarNet that specializes in helping people relieve mental stress and make money.

With money, they would have the confidence to fight against the Ming family.

As for why she would follow the Ming family back even though she knew there was something fishy going on there, and why she even had to find a way to get the news back to the Ming family herself.

First, she wants to escape the garbage planet. Ideally, with her SSS-level healing power, she would only be someone else's plaything in the chaotic and disordered garbage planet.

Only on the main star can one maximize their benefits.

Secondly, she had no money.

He came out with two empty pockets, and to earn money he had to scavenge for garbage at the landfill, barely managing to fill his stomach each day.

I can't even spend money on the game to support my favorite male lead.

Minghua sighed as she thought of Fu Shizheng, whom she had met today. She really couldn't tell whether he had any memories of the game.

If it were just Fu Shizheng alone, it would be alright; he could still hold his own.

You know, there are seven male leads in "Limited Time Romance". If all seven of them appear, it will be another headache.

Well, let's just take it one step at a time.

If all else fails, just unleash your healing power.

Minghua closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

District 1

Fu Shizheng returned to his residence with a cold face and a huff.

With a swift, vicious motion, he pulled out his tie and threw it onto the bed, tearing open his shirt collar to reveal his tanned skin underneath.

He paced around the room, fuming.

They actually hit him! They actually hit him!

Minghua actually hit him.

It was just a kiss, wasn't it?
Ah!
We've kissed in games before.

He actually lost his temper so badly today. When he was at the Ming family's house, Fu Shizheng had managed to keep a straight face and act as if nothing had happened.

Now that he's home, a hint of his grievance has surfaced.

After walking for a while, his gaze was fixed on the big bed. During this time, for some reason, he could no longer enter the game when he fell asleep and could not see Minghua, so he felt that sleeping was meaningless.

His SSS-level mental strength made him physically strong and mentally energetic, so he didn't need much rest.

But today is different. I saw Minghua in real life. I wonder what will happen if I fall asleep? What if I see Minghua again...?

Fu Shizheng's Adam's apple bobbed; he was determined to show her what he was capable of.
