System: You've been reborn.
System: Know how you died? You brought it on yourself.
System: Because you're cocky, talk like you don't care, and never shut up when you get into an argument, I've determined that you're a spoiled little princess with everyone against you!!!
System: So now that you've been reborn, I want you to become sweet and delicate, learn to act cute, and be refined and gracious. Use clever methods to get revenge on your enemies, and ultimately become a legend!
Shen Mian: Listen to yourself. What a load of crap.
System: ...No, wait... Can't you just
Shen Mian: Still talking?
Shen Mian: Shut up.

System 012 has been on the job for ten or fifteen years and earned countless accolades. For the first time, it's facing a crisis it can't control: its Host.
When it first met Shen Mian: She must have a reason for being so cocky!
Later, when it saw Shen Mian: Damn, I really got myself a spoiled princess.
When questioned about leaving the math competition before time was up
Shen Mian: What? They can make the questions into brainteasers, but they can't let me hand in my paper early?
When street punks picked a fight
Shen Mian: Come on, if you get even a speck of mud on my clothes, you'll owe me a hundred thousand. I want to see my lawyer.
When a brainless, two-faced green-tea girl said, "Oh, sis, why are you like this again? Unlike me, I'd only ever stay by big brother's side"
Shen Mian: Shut up, you stupid dog.

Shen Mian spent her whole life being doubted and framed, stubbornly walking down a dark path. There was only one person she felt guilty toward.
His name was Xiao Qi.
He never gave up on her.
He said he would always believe her.
Even years later, when she flipped through her graduation album, she discovered that Xiao Qi had been secretly watching her.
So no matter how sweet or wild she became in this life, she would never go too far in front of Xiao Qi. She even learned from System 012 how to act sweet and coy.
(012: So I'm just a tool, huh?)
She always thought she was good at playing the part, being obedient and hiding her crown...
Until one day, their study group ordered dinner together.
Someone asked what Shen Mian wanted for dinner.
To everyone's surprise, Xiao Qi, usually so fussy and bad-tempered, took out a little pink notebook in front of them all and carefully listed the girl's preferences.
"Mildly spicy, but not numbing. Extra sugar and vinegar. The cilantro has to have been picked within the last three days. No scallions, no tofu skin, "
"Write it down properly. She's picky."
With everyone's eyes on him, Xiao Qi looked away.
"And she still won't admit it."
* Sweet and haughty x charming bad boy A
* Academic genius x athlete
"Poor Xiao Qi.
You've been done in by me in both this life and the last."
