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

That evening, only two people remained in the deacon's office.

Ji Yan sat on the innermost sofa, flipping through a document in his hand, and glanced at the person opposite him.

Wen Yan leaned against the window, his fingers touching the bridge of his nose. His silver-rimmed glasses were on the coffee table, and he wasn't wearing them. His expression was unusually awkward.

"You've had a tough time?" Ji Yan closed the file.

Wen Yan twitched the corner of his mouth, walked over from the window and sat down on the sofa. "Si Lin is angry."

"I've known him for so many years, and this is the first time he's ever really given me the cold shoulder because of a woman."

Ji Yan didn't reply, but pushed the document in his hand in front of Wen Yan.

Wen Yan glanced down at the Saint Lan Star Final Selection Tournament restart plan, with a list of participants attached below.

First and foremost: Ruan Tang.

The remarks column reads: "Special approval granted by the deacon council to enter the final selection."

"He really cares; he wants to give her all the best things." Wen Yan tossed the documents back onto the coffee table.

Ji Yan leaned back on the sofa.

He usually speaks little and has a calm expression, but at this moment his brows were slightly furrowed. "He's been with that special admission student since he arrived this morning, and hasn't left the lounge."

"It's obvious that he's been completely blinded by beauty and is hopelessly addicted."

He paused for a moment, then said, "If it were just for novelty, a day or two would be fine, but it's been going on for so long."

Wen Yan leaned back on the sofa, his fingers slowly tapping on the armrest. "You know what, I actually want to try it too."

"It's a pity that Si Lin is too possessive of her food."

Ji Yan glanced at him, "Then I'll help you."

Wen Yan's fingers stopped, and he turned his head to look at Ji Yan, somewhat surprised.

Ji Yan was always the most indifferent of the four of them, never taking the initiative to cause trouble or touch women.

It's not like him to offer to help today.

"Have you forgotten what happened twelve years ago?" Ji Yan's voice was flat.

"Those commoners mingled among the nobles in a low-key manner, appearing obedient on the surface, but in reality, they were gathering intelligence."

"The Ji family was the first to have its core breached."

"Because my noble aunt was deceived and bewitched by the commoner president who later came to power, and married him."

"In the end, she felt ashamed before her family and committed suicide."

Wen Yan remained silent.

Of course he knew about this, and he even privately complained about the stupidity of the Ji family's little aunt.

But once a person dies, it's like a lamp going out; gradually, no one mentions it anymore.

Ji Yan was still bothered by this because he had a good relationship with that aunt and had genuinely called that commoner president "uncle" when they were children.

Unbeknownst to outsiders, amidst all these changes, Ji Yan, who usually keeps a low profile, is actually the one with the deepest prejudice against the common people.

Ji Yan looked at Wen Yan and continued, "Si Lin is the only son of the Si family, the head of the four major conglomerates."

"What would happen if he became the next aunt?"

"We share the same fate as the Si family, whether it prospers or suffers. It has only been three years since we overthrew the rule of those lowly people, and we must never repeat the same mistake."

Wen Yan raised an eyebrow. "So you're not afraid that if you help me, I'll also be bewitched by her?"

"You won't," Ji Yan said confidently.

"Your beginning with her will be the most naked kind, just like countless women before, giving resources and benefits, each taking what they need."

"And once she's in your bed, her special status with Si Lin will disappear. She'll no longer be the one who broke all of Si Lin's rules, but just another special student we've all taken turns spoiling."

Wen Yan was silent for a moment, "Whether it was due to favorable timing, location, or human calculation, Ruan Tang and Si Lin's relationship started in an unusual way."

"Things started to get out of control on the day of the school anniversary, but we didn't realize it at the time, and we were even watching the show."

"Step by step, it was as if she had divine assistance. Now, Si Lin has begun to subconsciously feel sorry for her and pave the way for her."

Do you think it's a coincidence, or a calculated move?

Ji Yan pulled a file from under the coffee table and threw it on the table. "I checked it out. Behind Si Lin's back, they investigated her thoroughly."

"She came from a florist family, her mother died early, and her father ran away due to gambling debts. From the time she entered Shenglan, all the surveillance cameras were carefully monitored, and she really didn't do anything."

Ji Yan changed the subject, her voice lowering, "But I don't believe there are that many coincidences."

"Why does Si Lin treat her differently? Every time something happens, she seems clumsy in handling it, but in the end, she always handles it perfectly."

"Si Lin is paying more and more attention to her, and she is getting more and more, so I think it's a calculated scheme with ulterior motives."

Wen Yan looked at him, neither confirming nor denying, "So how do you plan to help me?"

"I can't just openly steal a woman from Si Lin, can I? Si Lin would kill me."

Ji Yan shook his head, "Before their relationship heats up further, we should first plot against Ruan Tang and find a way to make her give herself away."

He tapped his finger on the coffee table, his tone casual, "There might be a big surprise."

-

The next day, Ruan Tang did not go to class.

She hid in the flower shop, wrapped in a thin blanket, her legs so numb that she had to frown even to turn over.

My knees were also limp.

Si Lin went too far last night; he especially liked her butterfly-shaped shoulder blades, kissing them repeatedly.

He especially liked to pinch her lower back in that position and whisper lewd things in her ear.

When she woke up in the morning and Si Lin wasn't there, she immediately dragged her tired body back to her little flower shop.

Only here can she completely relax and rest peacefully.

When I woke up again, it was almost noon.

Ruan Tang picked up the water and took two sips. Her throat was terribly hoarse, and it hurt slightly when she swallowed.

In my mind, the system's sweet, childlike voice rang out: "Tangtang, you're finally awake."

"Ji Yan and Wen Yan had a conversation in the office last night. I think you should take a look."

Ruan Tang put down the cup and leaned back against the pillow.

Seeing Ji Yan and Wen Yan's conversation, and their plan to scheme against her.

Ruan Tang blinked. Ji Yan? She'd been in Sheng Lan for so long, but she'd hardly ever interacted with him.

Unlike Pei Heng, who readily showed his emotions, or Wen Yan, who liked to flirt, he always sat quietly in the corner flipping through periodicals and occasionally playing the piano. He seemed to be the most harmless of the four.

Unexpectedly, he was the first one to try and harm her.

But now she knows that a dog that bites doesn't bark.

But that's perfect, let's turn the tables on them.

The plot point where the male and female protagonists get together in the original work is approaching, and her plot point with Wen Yan is also around that time.

The system task should be triggered soon.

Moreover, Si Lin had been aloof for too long, and she had gone to great lengths to please him so many times before finally securing a place in his heart. Naturally, she had to take this opportunity to stab him in the back.

Ruan Tang reached out and touched her neck.

She hadn't forgotten how, the first time she disobeyed Si Lin, he had ruthlessly pinned her to the door and choked her until she couldn't breathe.

Back then, he wasn't as lenient as he is now; his eyes were filled with anger at being offended.
