Chapter 1 The Heiress Who Was Rejected from the Engagement
"I do not want to!"
Below the platform, the handsome young man held the delicate woman beside him, whose eyes were red-rimmed, and said affectionately, "From beginning to end, the only one I have ever loved is Qian Ning."
When the emcee asked if he was willing to spend his life with the woman beside him, the groom rushed off the stage and made a heartfelt confession to the waiter carrying a silver platter.
Breaking free from worldly shackles and defying the cage of fate, the lovers join hands and walk together—it's a truly touching scene.
If Ling Yi weren't another protagonist in this wedding, she would definitely applaud this true love and praise their great love.
Unfortunately, she is.
So she could only hold flowers in her hands, basking in the gaze of the crowd, becoming the broken shackles and the shackles that had been broken.
Amidst the farce, the bride's inorganic black eyes under the crystal chandelier remained unmoved, her breathing, heartbeat, and body temperature unchanged by this embarrassing scene, like an emotionless machine.
At this moment, the machine is asking itself a philosophical question: "Do I look like a human being?"
Her voice had a metallic, cold quality, maintaining the same rhythm between each syllable, precise and devoid of any emotion.
【System 688 is at your service.】 At the beginning of the new world, 688 chose honesty: 【System 001, Ms. Ling Yi, the new human, hello, doesn't seem like it.】
"What a pity." Ling Yi sighed in a tone that didn't seem to regret it at all; she wasn't surprised by the result.
As System No. 001, Ling Yi possesses a unique evolutionary ability, yet she repeatedly fails at the final step of evolving into a human.
After 3076 failed evolutions, she mortgaged all her assets to borrow the right to use a small world, preparing to infiltrate the human race and see what magic these hairless upright apes possessed that could cause her, the only evolutionary system, to fail repeatedly!
688 wiped away an imaginary tear for Ling Yi's dedication to her job, reminding her: [As the price for entering this small world, you must fulfill the obsession of the body's original owner to maintain the world's normal operation. If the world collapses, you will face a penalty of deducting ten times the amount of your entry points.]
[Friendly reminder: Only by fully returning this world can you exchange it for the right to use the next world.]
At this moment, the emotionless Ms. Lingyi was bent over by an invisible force, and countless documents rushed into her processing center, causing her fragile brain to ache sharply.
In this world, Ling Yi's character is a spoiled and brainless young lady who is arrogant and domineering because of her parents' love. After being publicly jilted, she becomes enraged and, as if possessed, jumps around trying to get back at Qi Qingran and his true love, mindlessly interfering in their love-hate relationship.
He was adept at instigating and insulting, and he executed drugging and hiring thugs in one fell swoop. He lived a life of folly, ended up in prison, and trained himself to become a master of sewing. In just two years, he happily departed from this beautiful world.
Her soul lingered in the sky after her death, watching her parents fall into despair over her passing, watching Qi Qingran's family seize her assets, and watching her parents die old and destitute.
Her resentment soared to the heavens, eventually forming an obsession: to bring retribution upon the scumbag and his wife, and to allow her parents to enjoy their old age in peace.
Love and hate, waves of emotions washed over Ling Yi's core, causing a human-like emotion to flash in her originally cold eyes, which had returned to normal after selling all the modules.
However, this was followed by a massive amount of garbled text in the processor.
What is the logic behind human behavior in this situation?
If you have a lover, why not just call off the engagement while you're dating? Why do you have to make a big show of it at the wedding? Is it some kind of emotional exhibitionism?
If you have resentment, why not confront it openly in the marketplace instead of becoming a clown who jumps around spreading rumors and causing trouble? Do you think life is too good for you?
Lingyi's core malfunctioned, and she began to doubt whether humans truly possess logic.
688's rigorous answer: 【Yes, even in death she didn't forget revenge.】
His behavioral logic is unclear, but he has an extremely strong ability to hold grudges.
"If this is the outcome of evolution, then we might as well not have this evolution at all," Ling Yi calmly said to herself.
The young lady, dressed in a snow-white wedding gown, stood serenely in place, the long train behind her resembling swan wings, making her appear even more noble and aloof, as if untouched by worldly affairs.
She stared coldly at the people below the stage, but her pupils did not reflect their figures.
Qi Qingran loathed that look, loathed Ling Yi's inescapable pride and lack of gentleness. At that moment, he was glad that he had found someone else, so that he wouldn't have to spend his life with such a princess.
"Ling Yi," Qi Qingran tossed the ring box in her hand and said coldly, "This farce should end now."
The ring rolled out of the box and tumbled to the tip of Ling Yi's shoe, the dazzling pink diamond silently mocking her.
Ling Yi stood motionless on the platform, her gaze sweeping over the dazzling crystal chandelier above her.
As the original plot had progressed, after this failed wedding, she would become the subject of gossip, the pitiful woman whose husband had run off with someone else at the wedding, and the only topic of conversation before the next bombshell of gossip appeared.
But now, there is a way to avoid this tragic outcome.
She endures hardship, but she bears the burden of happiness.
Where no one was watching, the chandelier swayed again.
Ling Yi took two steps back, her cool and beautiful eyes fixed on Qi Qingran, as if trying to regain her last bit of self-respect: "Pick it up and apologize to me."
Her voice gradually lowered, and her last sentence was barely audible to three people: "I agree to annul the engagement."
The proud swan lowered its head, and Qi Qingran was almost bewildered by its show of weakness, so she subconsciously took a step forward.
However, the stinging pain in his arm woke him up.
Qi Qingran glanced at the woman with red-rimmed eyes. Her nails were digging into his arm as she looked at him with a pitiful and pleading expression.
His restless heart calmed down again, and he patted the hand of the person beside him: "Qian Ning, be good."
While breaking off the engagement at the last minute might feel satisfying, the trouble that follows is endless. With such leverage, Qi Qingran could imagine how the Ling family would take advantage of the situation.
Now that Ling Yi has gone so far as to try to downplay the situation, how could he possibly miss this opportunity?
He pried the woman's hands off, walked slowly onto the stage, and said calmly, "I'm here. Miss Ling, please keep your word and stop bothering me in the future."
One step, two steps...
Qi Qingran suddenly saw a bright smile appear on Ling Yi's icy face, like the first bloom of a night-blooming cereus at sunrise.
next moment……
boom!
The overburdened crystal chandelier finally collapsed, crashing heavily onto Qi Qingran.
A sharp pain instantly spread from his shoulder. Before closing his eyes, Qi Qingran saw Ling Yi's red lips slightly parted, making a mouth shape.
That is--
"Damn."
The next moment, he completely lost consciousness, and blood spread beneath him.
The unexpected incident caused an immediate commotion in the arena.
The misfortune that belonged to Ling Yi has been transferred to someone else, and it will no longer be her lying in the hospital being criticized.
Calmly kicking aside the crystal chandelier parts at her feet, Ling Yi watched Qi Qingran, lying on a stretcher, speed away into the distance, her gaze unwavering.
After watching this scene, you're not allowed to discuss her embarrassing engagement being broken off anymore!
