The Useless One Defies Heaven

Shen Qingge is the legitimate daughter of the Shen family in the Great Yan Dynasty, and the capital's universally acknowledged number-one good-for-nothing. She knows nothing of music, chess, calligraphy, or painting, ranks last in martial arts and riding, and can even prick her own fingers while embroidering. Her family is ashamed of her, her stepmother uses her as a stepping stone, and her younger sister makes her the butt of her jokes.

After falling into the water one day, Shen Qingge wakes up with someone new inside her: a modern all-round top student inhabiting the body of a good-for-nothing. A voice appears in her mind: Talent Copy System activated. Defeat an opponent and copy their talent.

The first playboy to target her is knocked flat in three moves. Then she discovers she has learned his secret sword technique. The whole capital is stunned: When did the useless Shen Qingge learn swordsmanship?

Then, at a palace banquet, she defeats the finest musician and plays "High Mountains and Flowing Water": face-slapping, copying, growing stronger, and face-slapping again.

Looking at her ever-growing list of skills, Shen Qingge smiles at the cold-faced prince who is the only one to see through her secret. "Don't worry. Your talents... aren't quite good enough for me yet."

Ye Beichen raises an eyebrow. "Then what do you want?"

"Your heart."
