After the minor character transforms into a beauty, she steals the heart of a tycoon's son.

Lin Xiaokui interrupted her, her tone heavy, "It's true."

"I've only been here for a short time. When I first heard about it, I didn't believe it either, until I saw it with my own eyes."

Song Tian pursed her lips and quieted down.

Lin Xiaokui glanced out the window.

On the playground, several lower-grade students were running around the track, and the whistle of the physical education teacher could be faintly heard.

The sun was shining brightly, and everything looked perfectly normal.

She turned back and met Song Tian's eyes. "This bullying group is none other than the student council deacons that Sheng Lan is so proud of."

Upon hearing the name of the deacon group, Song Tian's shoulders tensed.

Lin Xiaokui continued, lowering her voice even further, "The deacon group is composed of the heirs of the four major conglomerates, representing absolute power."

"If they don't like someone, they'll put that person on the forum's whitelist."

"Being on the whitelist means that for the next three days, anyone in the entire school can bully this person."

"Fortunately, the whitelist is just a warning; we must act with caution and not cause any deaths."

"As long as we can get through these three days, everything will be fine."

Song Tian's voice tightened: "Is there a reason for writing on the whitelist?"

"There's no reason," Lin Xiaokui said.

"Maybe he's in a bad mood, maybe he doesn't like the look of him, or maybe he's just bored and wants to have some fun."

"Among those who are humiliated, some will try to cheer them up."

"If you can please them, you'll be qualified to become their follower, join the student council, or get a sum of money."

"That's an astronomical amount of money for ordinary people."

Lin Xiaokui paused for a moment, then said, "So the whitelist is already highly sought after by many sensible special admission students."

Song Tian looked up. "What about the teacher?"

"Is no one in charge? Is no one going to expose them?"

Lin Xiaokui smiled wryly, "Shenglan was originally invested in by the four major conglomerates."

"Teachers, and even principals, have no right to tell them what to do."

She held out her fingers and counted them one by one.

"The Si family conglomerate controls finance, real estate, energy, electronics, and technology, and is still expanding."

"Wen's Group monopolizes 70% of the entertainment news platforms in China."

"The Pei family monopolized the port."

"The Ji family owns a chain of hotels all over the world."

She lowered her hand.

"You mean exposure? All newspapers, television, and online platforms have to undergo content review before uploading."

"Have you ever seen a conglomerate publicly reveal its own heir?"

Song Tian murmured, "Wouldn't that be utterly lawless?"

"It is indeed lawless." Lin Xiaokui nodded.

"Yet this group of lawless people are young, handsome, rich, and powerful."

"Many people at the school still idolize them."

"And they've always been used to being high and mighty."

Song Tian fell silent, her eyes lowered.

Ruan Tang lay on the table, her face buried in her arms, her mind already clear.

What Lin Xiaokui said refers to the core conflict in the early part of the original work.

The female protagonist, with her mortal body, confronts the iron curtain of the noble student council, touching the cold-blooded and ruthless Si Lin, and ultimately changing the rules of the entire Saint Lan.

Cinderella's triumphant return, the prince's taming, and the fairy tale comes to an end.

But that's the female lead's storyline.

The female supporting character's storyline ends with the prodigal son never returning, his lover and illegitimate child moving into his home, and her dying of depression after a miscarriage.

Song Tian leaned forward slightly. "Xiao Kui, if there's a whitelist, then isn't there also a blacklist?"

Lin Xiaokui's expression darkened, and she nodded. "Yes, but it's rare. Maybe one will appear every one or two months."

Song Tian clenched her fingers. "What's the difference between a blacklist and a whitelist?"

Lin Xiaokui paused, then lowered her voice, "The whitelist is just for fun. This is just a warning. You'll be fine after three days."

"But the blacklist isn't for fun; it's because this person has incurred the dislike of the deacon team that they've been put on it."

"Once you're blacklisted, it's endless bullying, with no time limit and no bottom line."

"Either drop out of school yourself, or be played to the point of collapse."

Song Tian gasped, her lips trembling. "What do you mean by 'playing until you break down'?"

"The literal meaning," Lin Xiaokui said, looking into her eyes and enunciating each word clearly.

"Some people have been carried into the hospital, some have jumped off buildings, and one family moved out of the city after transferring schools."

Song Tian's face turned pale. "This is terrifying! Doesn't the school care? Where are the teachers?"

"There's nothing we can do. Even the principal has to put on a smiling face in front of the deacon. How can the teachers dare to say a word?" Lin Xiaokui said with a wry smile.

Song Tian bit her lower lip and remained silent.

Ruan Tang slowly raised her head, put on those oversized black-rimmed glasses, her bangs covering half of her face, and rubbed her eyes.

"What are you talking about?" she asked, feigning ignorance.

Lin Xiaokui turned to look at her, her tone serious, "We're talking about the deacon team."

"Tangtang, you must remember to avoid them and never provoke them. Don't even make eye contact with them."

Ruan Tang nodded obediently, resting her chin on her crossed arms, and blinked her eyes under her bangs.

"Okay, I understand."

"I only vaguely heard you guys talking about blacklists. Is it really that scary? Isn't it an exaggeration?"

Lin Xiaokui opened her mouth to speak...

Outside the teaching building, expensive high-definition screens broadcasting major campus events are simultaneously switching between displays.

Three black characters on a white background hang prominently: Fang Zhaoyang

The person in question stood in front of the teaching building and swallowed hard.

Even though he had a premonition, he was still afraid when the moment came.

"Buzz—Buzz—"

Cellphones vibrated incessantly throughout the classrooms.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of running footsteps came from outside the corridor, approaching from afar, chaotic and hurried.

"Look at the large group!"

"Holy crap, the blacklist has been updated!"

"Really? I've been out of work for three months!"

"It's Fang Zhaoyang! That idiot special admission student who wanted to expose school bullying."

A commotion surged from the corridor into the classroom, and several boys grabbed their backpacks and rushed out, their faces flushed with excitement.

Lin Xiaokui's expression changed.

She grabbed her phone; the screen was filled with the frantic chatter from the campus group chat.

[New addition to the blacklist! Fang Zhaoyang!]

[The playground! People are on the playground!]

[The deacons are here too!]

Hurry! There won't be any seats left if you're late!

Messages kept popping up, each one accompanied by a celebratory exclamation mark.

Ruan Tang slowly sat up straight and saw Lin Xiao Kui's fingers gripping the edge of her phone tightly.

"Isn't that what you want to know?"

Lin Xiaokui looked up at Ruan Tang, then at Song Tian, ​​"Let's go take a look together."
