Only on her deathbed did Meng Ning learn that her biological parents and the wealthy Meng family had never thought much of her. Because she was pretty, they had sweet-talked and deceived her into sacrificing herself to benefit the family.
She gave up her body and her dignity, and paid a terrible price.
Her father became a business tycoon, her mother a socialite, her twin brother the youngest professor, and even her adopted younger sister became a celebrated socialite.
Meanwhile, she was branded a seductress, a slut, and a homewrecker, then had both legs broken and was drowned.
Even her adoptive parents, who truly loved her, died trying to get justice for her.
When she opened her eyes again, Meng Ning was reborn in her first year of high school. She had yet to join the Meng family's entertainment company or reunite with the wealthy Meng family. She made up her mind: this life, she would listen to her adoptive parents and study hard!
"Ding-dong! Congratulations, Host, on awakening your desire to study. You are now bound to the Daydayup Academic Ace System. Study hard today and become an academic ace!"
With help from the Daydayup Academic Ace System and her own hard work, Meng Ning goes from the bottom of her grade to making a stunning comeback: middle of the pack, top of the class, first in her class, first in her grade...
At the same time, she excels in all kinds of math, physics, biology, and chemistry competitions, poetry contests, innovation competitions, and even the Ultimate Brain King competition, raking in prizes.
Later, she even surpasses her twin brother and becomes the youngest professor and the youngest academician.
Her biological parents and the wealthy Meng family: Child, we're proud of you.
Meng Ning: Ha! Who are you? Don't claim to be my family.
She takes her adoptive parents by the arm. "Thank you, Mom and Dad. You gave me the right outlook on life when I was young, and that's what helped me achieve everything I have today."
Warnings:
1. A critique of the entertainment industry. The heroine won't enter show business after she's reborn.
2. A leveling-up power fantasy. The heroine starts out genuinely terrible at school, and the System's golden finger isn't outrageously powerful. She levels up while taking down scumbags.
3. The hero appears later and is an academic ace like the heroine.
