I've always thought the first half of my life was full of "ups and downs."
I opened my eyes to find myself lying on a trash planet, having lost most of my memories. Every day, I struggled through the shadows.
But I wasn't unlucky for long before a kind orphanage took me in.
The orphanage was great in every way. Every day, I was as happy as a little monkey, and I even claimed the throne as boss thanks to my fists and feet.
But I didn't get to enjoy it for long. A new brat showed up and stole my food, my drinks, and half my lackeys! He even differentiated into an Alpha before I did!
I hated him!
Still, after all these years, neither of us had awakened a talent. Every fight came down to our fists.
Great. Fair and square.
We even had matching bruises on our faces.
Until I turned fifteen.
During a riot, ordinary me and him, who had unexpectedly awakened a talent, stared at each other in disbelief.
Me: "Ahahaha, congratulations! This is the best news ever!" (gritting my teeth)
Him: "Ahahaha, congratulations! This is the best news ever!" (twisted, fake smile)
Him: "?"
Me: "?"
What was I congratulating him for?
I figured you couldn't expect anything useful from a brat like him, so I didn't want to listen. But he spoke so fast, telling me I was the lost daughter of the Shen clan, of incomparably noble status, and that someone would soon come to take me home and recognize me as family.
I didn't believe him.
Then a stunning beauty with a slender waist and long legs, who looked a little like me, descended from the sky and said she was my older sister.
All right, I believed her.
In the end, I tearfully said goodbye to my devoted fans.
When I got to that brat, we were both in tears, too.
Then we beat the hell out of each other.
Him: "Trash."
Me: "Useless."
Him: "Did you even eat?"
Me: "Just wait. I'll kill you in a second."
Anyway, that was the end of the ups and downs.
I, Shen Qianzhao,
am now officially starting my baddest-king-ever life.

The Shen clan is the most powerful and prosperous family of ability users in the stars, renowned for producing super-geniuses with top-tier talents, physiques, and mental strength.
Independent of the three great empires, they guard the chaotic and lawless Lost Star Sea and are hailed as "the fourth realm above the firmament."
The new exchange student is the Shen family's heiress.
She looks delicate and beautiful, with impossibly exquisite features. She has noble blood and is also an unparalleled badass Alpha.
Yet when still, she's like a corpse lying on the ground; when moving, she's like a bandit storming a village.
The Empire's Ability Academy's top students assumed she had simply undergone a genetic mutation.
Until the annual interschool tournament.
With her unique [Copy] talent and powerful SSS-grade mental strength, the exchange student easily cleared the rounds and defeated everyone.
The campus forum exploded overnight.
Little Omegas screamed: [AO romance is the best match! Everything else is heresy!]
Badass Alphas defected: [There are so many Alpha tops! What's one more?]
Die-hard fans roared: [Stop spreading rumors about this frigid woman who cares about nothing but fighting and eating!]
The argument went on for three days and nights without a conclusion. Finally, someone angrily tagged the Special Forces Department's top student, who was said to have fought her more than anyone else, and asked him to settle the debate.
The top student, who almost never posted on the forum, replied instantly: [Fighting right now. Do not disturb.]
Everyone was stunned and moved to tears.
Oh my god! Still fighting in the middle of the night! So hardworking and disciplined! No wonder he's their top student!

Watching his optical brain get swiped, Jun Ye sneered. "Giving up? Tired? You're so weak, and you still call yourself an Alpha?"
"I suppose I should be embarrassed, since I'm actually an Enigma." After saying that, Shen Qianzhao tossed the optical brain aside and casually flipped the person on the bed over.
Jun Ye: "Trash."
Shen Qianzhao: "Useless."
Jun Ye: "Did you even eat?"
Silence.
He looked over, confused and uneasy.
Just as Jun Ye began to wonder if he'd said something wrong,
someone grabbed his aching waist.
The young woman lowered her head, her eyes curving as she gave him an utterly innocent, toothy smile. "Just wait. I'll screw you to death in a second."
