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

On the platform, the teacher began to give a lecture.

Ruan Tang rested her chin on her hand, pretending to listen to the lecture, but her mind was still on what had just happened.

Was Lin Xiaokui's nervousness just now genuine concern for her, or fear that she might climb the social ladder?

If one day she becomes beautiful and stands next to Si Lin, will Lin Xiao Kui still smile at her like that?

Or will they, like in those stories about falling out and becoming enemies, smile and say congratulations while secretly gritting their teeth?

Ruan Tang didn't know.

But she has never hesitated to speculate about human nature with the utmost malice.

There is a type of friend in this world who is better than you, and that is the best kind of relationship.

But once this relationship becomes unbalanced, and the person in a lower position becomes better, she will become jealous, hate you more than an enemy, and eventually pull you down from your pedestal.

She was just beginning to regain her senses, but she had already heard far too many stories like this.

"Tangtang".

Suddenly, the system's voice rang out in my mind, small and tinged with excitement.

"You've caught Si Lin's attention and gained some luck; you can exchange it now."

Ruan Tang looked away, lowered her head, and pretended to be looking at her textbook. "What can I exchange it for?"

"With the progress of 30%, your skin will become much whiter and smoother. Although it won't reach its peak condition, it will be much better than it is now."

Ruan Tang recalled Si Lin's dark eyes, which lingered on her face for a long time before finally saying, "His eyes are beautiful, it's just a pity."

It's a pity her skin is sallow, and it's a pity she doesn't deserve those eyes.

Ruan Tang raised her hand and touched her cheek. She knew the saying that fair skin could cover up a hundred flaws.

"Let's exchange it."

As soon as he finished speaking, it seemed as if spiritual energy flowed through his limbs and bones.

She looked down at her hands and saw that the skin on the back of her hands had visibly turned white.

The knuckles are still slender, but much more delicate, and the nails have a healthy pink hue.

"Tangtang, you look so beautiful now!" the system exclaimed excitedly. "Even though it's only 30%, it's already so much prettier than before!"

Ruan Tang adjusted her black-rimmed glasses and let her bangs fall down, covering most of her face.

"Don't you want people to see it?" the system asked.

"It's not the right time yet," Ruan Tang said.

That kind of man doesn't cherish things that are too easily obtained.

She didn't want his fleeting curiosity.

"Would outsiders notice? Would they find it strange?" Ruan Tang asked.

The little system replied earnestly: "The imbalance of fortune naturally blurs the world's consciousness, so people won't treat you like a monster."

"Outsiders might not notice it immediately, but they can tell you've gotten fairer."

Ruan Tang nodded, thinking even more deeply.

It turns out that only with good fortune can the souls be perfectly integrated.

Essentially, it also requires the favor of Heaven, or rather, the favor of the chosen one.

The system suddenly spoke, its voice hesitant, "Tangtang, do you not like Lin Xiaokui?"

Ruan Tang paused for a moment, "Why do you ask that?"

"Because the way you looked at her just now..." the system thought for a moment, "wasn't the way you look at a friend."

Ruan Tang smiled slightly. "Whether she truly cares about me is still hard to say."

"But she seems to really care about you."

"Yes," Ruan Tang said, "She seems very concerned."

She turned her head and looked out the window.

On the playground, Fang Zhaoyang had already been dragged away, leaving only a pool of blood, and several cleaners were washing the ground.

"Time will tell," Ruan Tang said softly.

"Let's wait and see how much of a winner this original work truly is."

-

In the afternoon, Ruan Tang lay on the table, burying her face in her arms.

The original body was too weak.

Due to the congenital deficiencies caused by premature birth, my energy was extremely low, and I couldn't keep going after just two classes.

She closed her eyes, and the sunlight streamed in through the window, falling warmly on her back.

The system's voice rang out in my head again, a soft, childlike voice filled with concern.

"Tangtang, you lack energy and are too delicate to endure hardship. You are far inferior to the original owner of this body."

"Since we can't do the mission for the time being, why don't we go get close to Si Lin and try to ride on his luck?"

"After all, he has a lot more luck than Wen Yan. As long as he takes notice of you, the Heavenly Dao will also favor you."

Ruan Tang didn't open her eyes, replying in her mind: "People like him aren't easy to get close to. I haven't figured out the rules of the upper echelons' world yet. Let's wait and see."

The system was silent for a few seconds, then spoke softly again: "But Tangtang, you already attracted his attention on the playground today."

"According to the original work, Si Lin's character never takes the initiative to touch girls, especially those admitted through special admissions programs."

Ruan Tang's eyelashes fluttered. "What kind of character is Si Lin in the original work?"

The system retrieved the profile settings for four individuals.

"Si Lin, head of the Shenglan Deacon Group, sole heir of the Si Group, is arrogant, cold, and ruthless, wielding life and death power and disregarding rules."

"He never needs to do anything himself, because he only needs to say a word and the whole school will do it for him."

The system paused for a moment.

"There's a line in the original story that describes him: 'He just stands there, he doesn't need to say a word, and everyone automatically lowers their heads.'"

"Because everyone knows that if he doesn't like you, you really will disappear from this school."

Ruan Tang turned her face away, resting her head on her arm, and looked out the window. "What about Wen Yan?"

"Wen Yan, heir to the Wen's Entertainment Consortium, and the second-in-command of the executive council."

"He may appear gentle and refined, but he is actually the most cold-blooded."

"He is polite and courteous to everyone, but there is a line in the original work: the gentler Wen Yan's smile is, the more unlucky someone is about to be."

"His longest interest in a woman never lasts more than three months."

"None of the girls who have been with him have ever said he's a jerk, because he always manages to handle breakups very well, such as providing money, an opportunity, and a dignified ending."

"But he will never turn back."

Where is Pei Heng?

Pei Heng, heir to the Pei Port Consortium, is arrogant and domineering, quick to settle scores, and more prone to violence than to thinking.

"He is the most troublesome member of the deacon group, and also the most protective of his own."

"In the original work, his character is that he will take action directly if he doesn't like someone, and he never listens to reason. But if someone is considered one of his own, he will take responsibility no matter how big the problem is."

"He was very casual with women, accepting all who came and letting those who left go, and he never had a steady female companion."

"And finally, what about Ji Yan?"

"Ji Yan, heir to the Ji Hotel Group. A seemingly innocent but actually cunning young master, he appears sunny and cheerful on the surface, and is the most approachable and least aggressive of the four, but he is actually very calculating."

"In the original novel, it says that Ji Yan never loses control and never reveals any true emotions in public."

"He is the one who takes the fewest action in the deacon group, but every time he does, it is a fatal blow."

"Rumor has it that he has a white moonlight of love that he can't have."

Ruan Tang went through this information in her mind.

Four people: one cold and arrogant, one womanizer, one domineering and wicked, and one cunning and clear-headed.

Together, they constitute the ceiling of Shenglan's power.

Lin Xiao Kui, as a special admission student, actually succeeded in fighting against them in the original story.

What do we rely on? Passion, slogans, or backbone?

Ruan Tang buried her face back in her arms, feeling that something was not right.
