[Reborn] [Beauty-Improvement Tasks] [All-Round Growth] [Beloved by All] [Career Comeback]
At nineteen, Jiang Nuo died taking a knife meant for Xu Mingzhu.
Only in her final moments did she realize that her whole life had been spent in Xu Mingzhu's shadow. She ran errands for her, took the blame for her, and endured cruelty on her behalf. In the end, even her life became a human shield for Xu Mingzhu.
When she opened her eyes again, Jiang Nuo was back at five and a half years old.
She was sickly and swollen, her face covered in eczema, living in a storage room at her maternal uncle's house. She was still the ugly little tagalong everyone despised.
This time, she was done serving them.
She refused food deliberately given to harm her, kept surveillance footage as evidence, protected her belongings, and stopped taking responsibility for Xu Mingzhu's mistakes.
At the same time, she became bound to the only Alluring Charm System in the Main World.
Completing daily tasks could restore her health and improve her voice, bearing, physique, and agility.
Completing challenges and achievement tasks could earn her beauty star upgrades, skills, and growth rewards.
Only gifts freely given from the heart by key characters could be turned into Growth Coins.
And so Jiang Nuo began as an ugly one-star kid, becoming prettier bit by bit and better in every way with each step.
She went from understudy in a children's story festival to a public figure with her own work and audience.
She studied public speaking, singing, photography, hacking, negotiation, and business management, established her own studio, and founded her own brand and company.
She would also reclaim her parents' stolen inheritance, solve an old case, and completely sever the Xu family's hold over her fate.
As Jiang Nuo transformed from an ugly duckling no one noticed into a nine-star beauty adored by all, the people who had once revolved around Xu Mingzhu changed sides one after another.
Xu Mingzhu finally panicked. "You took everything that belonged to me!"
Jiang Nuo reclaimed her work, her property, and the right to choose her own life, then looked at Xu Mingzhu calmly.
"I only took back the fate that was always mine."
