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

The lights were on on the second floor of the flower shop at night.

Ruan Tang sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the newly renovated attic.

After winning the bet, she rearranged the layout.

The old curtains were replaced with milky white gauze curtains, and a row of small potted plants were placed on the windowsill: lily of the valley, pothos, and a mini rose.

A light-colored wardrobe was added to the corner of the wall. It wasn't big, but it was just enough to hold all the new clothes she had bought.

There was also a soft cashmere blanket, several exquisitely tailored loungewear dresses, and a new set of bedding.

As her physical attributes increased to 70%, her tolerance for coarse linen clothing decreased, and she always felt uncomfortable in it.

But the money came just in time, solving a problem that was neither too big nor too small.

Ruan Tang changed into a milky white nightgown, leaned against the headboard, and suddenly spoke, "System, check where Fang Zhaoyang is."

The system's soft, baby-like voice chimed in, "Tangtang, what do you want with him?"

"I cried pitifully at Si Lin today. With his self-centered personality, do you think he would do nothing?" Ruan Tang put a cushion behind her back.

"I've disliked Fang Zhaoyang for a long time, so I'll take this opportunity to see how Si Lin will handle it."

The system displayed real-time video.

The screen unfolded in front of Ruan Tang, showing a small alley with dim streetlights and an uneven stone pavement.

Fang Zhaoyang was walking down that street, his hands in his pockets, his pace leisurely.

Suddenly, several urgent police sirens blared from the other end of the alley.

In the scene, two men in police uniforms are chasing a man with a full beard. The man is holding something in his hand, and it flashes with a cold light.

Fang Zhaoyang turned around, but before he could react, two guards in Si's uniform rushed out from the side alley, blocking the escapee's path and forcing him to turn towards the side where Fang Zhaoyang was standing.

Everything happened very quickly.

The fugitive bumped into Fang Zhaoyang and stabbed him in the abdomen with the knife in his hand.

Fang Zhaoyang arched his back, his mouth agape, and his eyes wide open.

The fugitive was pinned to the ground by the Si family guards who arrived at the scene, and the police rushed up and handcuffed him.

Fang Zhaoyang clutched his stomach and collapsed on the road, blood seeping from between his fingers and forming a small puddle on the uneven stone slab.

Ruan Tang was not used to bloodshed, but fortunately, the system had mosaics to cover up such scenes.

She saw Fang Zhaoyang's lips moving, probably in pain, but there was no sound on the screen; all she could see was the incredulous, gradually fading expression on his face.

Finally, Fang Zhaoyang was lifted onto a stretcher, the red lights of the ambulance flashing in the night.

The Si family guards were commended by the police for their courageous act.

She turned off the system screen. "Will he die?"

The system is a bit dull; it's just a cannon fodder system in a romance campus novel.

Fang Zhaoyang is also a minor supporting male character in the original novel.

This scene is a topic outside of the training.

It replied, "Judging from the bleeding, it shouldn't be fatal if he gets to the hospital in time, but he'll definitely need to stay in the hospital for a long time."

"Tangtang, this little world doesn't seem like a peaceful society..."

Ruan Tang pulled the blanket up a little and snuggled into the soft new blanket. "The aristocratic era and the common people have only been exchanging power for three years. How could there be peace?"

Even in times of peace on Earth, there are people who use knives to injure others; it's just a matter of proportion.

"The original work focuses on the romance on campus, while the background elements are glossed over. The reality is that the world is probably in a turbulent period of factional conflict."

The system understood, then asked, "But these things are temporarily none of our concern, right?"

Ruan Tang nodded, "It's alright for now."

"But what I didn't expect was that the four major conglomerates could control everything. Even if Si Lin openly had Fang Zhaoyang dealt with, no one would dare to say anything."

"But he chose this method by chance. The fugitive just happened to appear, the Si family guards just happened to assist the police in surrounding and blocking him, and the fugitive just happened to run into Fang Zhaoyang."

"Every step became a coincidence."

"He's so careful with his reputation, leaving no room for any wrongdoing."

-

The news of Fang Zhaoyang's withdrawal from school was announced during the morning class the following day.

The reason was an unexpected incident reported in the news, and the school even took the initiative to subsidize the medical expenses, which can be considered to be doing everything they could to help.

Lin Xiaokui sat in her seat, sensing that something was wrong.

Even being blacklisted couldn't get Fang Zhaoyang expelled from school. He was just walking down the street when something suddenly happened to him.

Yesterday, Fang Zhaoyang met the only special person he met was Ruan Tang.

Lin Xiaokui subconsciously looked towards the last row of seats by the window.

Ruan Tang sat there, looking down as she flipped through her textbook.

She looked up and met Lin Xiao Kui's gaze.

Those eyes were clean and clear, without any hesitation.

Lin Xiaokui looked away first, realizing she was overthinking things.

The news reports all say it was an accident. Although Ruan Tang is selfish now, she is still kind and gentle by nature. How could it have anything to do with her?

-

The midterm exams are getting closer every day.

The new school rules are like a knife hanging over the heads of all specially admitted students, and those who are on the verge of falling into the 10% are the most suffering.

Lin Xiaokui is one of them.

Ever since she offended Si Lin in the cafeteria, she hasn't been able to focus on her studies for a long time.

I still have the foundation from the chemistry competition, but I've fallen too far behind in the other subjects, and it's simply too late to cram now.

She cannot drop out of school.

Her parents went to great lengths to get her into Sheng Lan High School. If she dropped out, it would be a small matter if her family couldn't hold their heads up in front of their relatives; her path to transcending social classes would be completely cut off.

She has to think of a way.

Lin Xiaokui then turned her gaze to Ruan Tang.

After Fang Zhaoyang's accident, she ignored her completely, and even when Su Nian went to find her, Cheng Jin turned her away.

The deacon protected her completely.

Since the open approach doesn't work, let's try the covert one.

If Ruan Tang causes her to get injured and be unable to take the exam.

The deacon team has to give her, the victim, an explanation.

-

That evening, Lin Xiaokui sat at her desk in her room.

A utility knife lay on the table; the blade was new and gleamed coldly under the light.

She held the utility knife and gestured with it in her hand a few times.

It can't be too shallow, otherwise no one will take it seriously.

It shouldn't be too deep, so as not to damage the meridians or affect future writing.

What she wanted was an injury that looked terrible but was actually manageable, so she could skip the midterm exam.

The flower shop is located on the second floor.

Ruan Tang had just finished showering when the system suddenly displayed a live video feed.

"Tangtang, look what Lin Xiaokui is doing!"

In the video, Lin Xiaoqiu is holding a knife and gesturing the angle, her expression very serious.

Ruan Tang glanced at it for a few seconds, then her lips curved slightly. She immediately guessed what Ruan Tang was thinking.

"She probably wanted to cut herself and then push the blame onto me."

"The deacon's secretary caused the special admission student to get injured, and the deacon has to give the victim an explanation."

"There's no need to take the midterm exams."

The system's soft, childlike voice suddenly rose in pitch, "She's gone too far! It's clearly her own fault for failing the exam due to declining grades, why is she framing you?"
