Chapter 1: Rebirth

Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee

“Xiao Rou, now you know that you can never win?” A fashionable and beautiful woman was arrogantly looking down at a girl who looked like an ugly duckling, her life fading as she lay on the ground. The woman’s eyes were filled with disdain as she said, “You may be the real Xiao Jinning, but so what? Your parents only want me as their daughter, and your fiancé, Brother Chengyu, has been taking care of me since childhood and is engaged to me. You’re just an ugly duckling the Xiao Family abandoned!”

“Go to hell, Xiao Rou!” The woman’s face turned ferocious as she pressed her foot down hard on the girl’s neck, and while gnashing her teeth she yelled, “Only if you die can no one threaten my status!”

Being trampled by her, Xiao Rou, who was already dying, twitched and breathed her last.

At this time, the sound of hasty footsteps drew near. Someone could be heard asking anxiously, “Did you find Xiao Rou?”

Xiao Jinning hurriedly withdrew her foot, knelt down, wiped off the footprints on Xiao Rou’s neck with her hands and cried out, “Come on! Rourou is here. She seems to be badly injured! Can somebody help her?”

...

As a breeze blew through the spacious ward, the room’s white curtains fluttered. There was only a white bed in the large ward, on which a pale-looking girl was lying silently. She appeared so lifeless that she looked like a dead person.

Suddenly, the girl opened her eyes. She glanced around sharply and sat up straight. Looking at the closed door of the ward, she raised a wicked smile.

She walked barefoot to the window and looked out at the view of the hospital. Outside, there was a very wide green lawn, and beside it, a lake. Well, there were also some doctors in white gowns.

She had always hated doctors.

Suddenly, a series of hints came to her mind...

System hints:

Identity: Xiao Rou

Age: 23 years old

Personality: Cowardly

Fate: Miserable

Primary task: Adapt to new identity.

Upon reading the messages, the woman could no longer maintain her composure. She cursed, “S*it! 008, you said I would have fun! But what is this? Adapt to new identity? Shouldn’t I just slap the Xiao Family people’s faces and go back to have my revenge?”

She had been living a happy and carefree life as the princess of the Empire Group, but certain individuals murdered her in order to snatch away her wealth and power. However, she had suddenly become Xiao Rou after she died, and while she was sleeping, a system calling himself 008 popped up in her dream, claiming that he could help her have her revenge and regain everything she used to possess, so she agreed to bind with the system.

She had finally managed to figure out the stupid system’s functions in the past two days she spent feigning sleep without eating or drinking, and was imagining how she would live an awesome life with the help of a system. But what is this? Adapt to a new identity? Becoming Xiao Rou? She was the famous Tang Xi! God, the last thing she wanted was to play weak!

Tang Xi casually looked down to see the color of her skin, following which she immediately jumped up to exclaim, “My God, who is this black woman?”

She had just finished speaking when another reminder of the system rang in her mind.

[Gifted the host a ‘Cornetto’ skin. Click if you would like to put it on.]

Tang Xi blinked and sneered in her mind, “‘Cornetto’? Ice cream-colored skin?” She clicked and put it on, thinking, “Anything would be better than this black skin!”

Tang Xi’s eyes lit up upon seeing her skin slowly change from black to pink and said, “Oh, it works!”

She followed up with an ingratiating smile, saying, “008, how about this? Let’s go to the Tang Family and deal with those guys who murdered me first. After that I will take time to adapt to this new identity, alright?”

The system beeped again...

A curtain of light popped up before Tang Xi’s eyes, which showed her various data.

[Host: Tang Xi

Experience Points: 4.01/800

Martial Points: 0/100

Physical Points: 3/100

Face Points: 1/100

Figure Points: 1/100

Charm Points: 0.01/100

Revenge Points: 0/100

Wealth Points: 0/100

Face Slapping Points: 0/100.

According to the comprehensive test report, the host Tang Xi does not have any ability for revenge. Please accept the task, complete it and raise all experience points.]

[Accept the primary task: Adapt to the identity of Xiao Rou and raise all experience points.]

Tang Xi clicked “Accept” and then complained aggrievedly, “They’re almost all zero. Is there any merit to being this Xiao Rou?”

Looking down at her body, Tang Xi sighed. The one Face Point had to be from the ‘Cornetto’ skin that she had just put on... And as for Figure Point... Tang Xi pursed her lips when she looked at the poor shape of Xiao Rou’s body. Her being slim had to be why the system gave her one Figure Point. No, she was not slim but skinny! Her chest was nearly flat!

Tang Xi held her head in her hands and shouted hysterically, “Please, No!”

How long would it take her to become that charming Tang Xi again?

In the following month, Tang Xi lived a carefree life in the hospital and became familiar with the hospital’s environment. Every day she idly strolled about in the hospital. At first, she made herself acquainted with the other patients, then she made friends with nurses and in the end, even the doctors had become her buddies.

Sitting on the wide lawn outside the hospital, bored, Tang Xi sighed. This hospital was a high-class private hospital in City A. Although the Xiao Family members didn’t want to acknowledge her as their daughter, they treated her well. At least they didn’t throw her onto the streets but into this top private hospital.

“Rourou, are you having a sunbath?” A dignified female patient in a wheelchair was slowly moving towards Tang Xi as she greeted her with a smile.

Tang Xi smiled sweetly at her and responded, “Yeah. Aunt Qiao, are you out to enjoy the sunshine too?”

“Yes, I’d like to take a walk by the lake, but it’s too far away. And my servant went home to fetch some clothes for me, so I can’t go there.”

Tang Xi rose from the lawn and said, “Let me take you there. I happen to be free, and I want to get some air by the lake too.”

“Okay. Thank you for that,” Aunt Qiao said cheerfully.

“It’s alright.” Tang Xi pushed Aunt Qiao’s wheelchair forward and walked towards the lake.

Just then, a nurse ran over and shouted from behind them, “Rourou, Rourou, your family came to visit you. Hurry up, go back to the ward!”

Tang Xi looked at Aunt Qiao with a slightly regretful face. “Aunt Qiao, it seems that we can’t go to the lake today.”

Aunt Qiao gave her a kind smile, but a touch of loneliness flickered across her eyes as she said, “It’s a good news. The families of the patients in this hospital are usually busy. It’s great that your family could make time to see you.”

At this point, another nurse came over, her face beaming with joy. “Aunt Qiao! Your son has come to see you!”

Aunt Qiao’s lonely eyes immediately lit up. She looked around and finally fixed her gaze on a man who was coming towards her.

Tang Xi followed Aunt Qiao’s gaze only to see a stunningly handsome man. He was about 1.8 or 1.9 meters tall, his body proportion followed the so-called golden ratio and his face looked like a work of art elaborately carved by God.

‘Qiao Liang. It’s been a long time.’
