In my previous life, I was pitifully stupid.
I gave my whole heart to Lin Weiwei, my best friend, and treated her like a sister,
but she deceived me with her fake kindness, drove a wedge between people, stole my future, and took everything from me.
She pretended to be gentle and kind, while spreading rumors about me behind my back, ruining my education, and stealing my childhood sweetheart, Shen Yichen.
In the end, my studies were in ruins, everyone turned against me, and my life ended in misery.
By a twist of fate, I was reborn and returned to the start of my nightmare: the beginning of our first year of high school.
That year, Lin Weiwei had just put on her kind-girl mask, while Shen Yichen was still pretending to love me.
Everyone was still in the dark, and everyone still owed me justice!
Given another chance at life, I put away all my kindness and cut off every toxic relationship.
Lin Weiwei tries to act pitiful and win sympathy? I expose her on the spot and make her a laughingstock at school!
The scumbag Shen Yichen tries to keep me tangled up in his mind games? I tear him apart and make him lose face!
The top student who once stole my rank, the classmates who isolated me, I beat them all one by one!
I grind through practice problems, make a comeback, rank first, win the gold medal, and climb to the very top!
I used to be timid and meek, easy for anyone to manipulate. This time, I show my edge and let no one bully me!
But no one could have guessed that Lu Shiyan, the coldest, most arrogant academic genius in school, the one no one dares to mess with,
would cling only to me and murmur tenderly:
“This time, I'm on your side alone. I'll protect you to the end.”
