On April 1, Cui Huizhi's life changed beyond recognition. First, a crazy woman came up to her, yanked out one of her own hairs right in front of her, and told Cui Huizhi to get a paternity test.
She said Cui Huizhi wasn't a daughter of the Cui family. Eighteen years ago, the woman had switched two babies, and now she wanted Cui Huizhi to return to her birth family.
Then Cui Huizhi discovered she had a split personality, and that a mechanical voice was speaking to her inside her mind.
System 888 had made an operational error and transmigrated into Cui Huizhi along with its newly bound Host.
The body it was supposed to transmigrate into had already been sent to the crematorium and reduced to ashes. The main System criticized 888 for three hours over the mistake.
When the scolding ended, System 888 burst into tears.
Cui Huizhi frantically screamed at the top of her lungs in her room.
Zhang Huaiqing could only try to comfort them both. His voice rang out like clear spring water over stones, like fine jade striking fine jade, and both the girl and the System froze.
Cui Huizhi asked awkwardly, "Who are you?"
The unfamiliar voice replied, "Our blood is of one source, our breath bound together by a thread. We share a faint bond of kinship. You may call me your elder brother."
Cui Huizhi clicked her tongue. So he was her brother, then. The crazy woman must have upset her so much that she'd split off a brotherly personality.
System 888 didn't care about faint bonds of kinship. All it cared about was its year-end bonus. And so a girl, an immortal, and a System came to share one body.
Cui Huizhi happily played games and drank sparkling water in the System space, while 888 furiously worked through math problems in the exam hall.
When they were surrounded by delinquents after school, Cui Huizhi quickly handed control of the body to her brother, then returned to the System space to cheer 888 on.
Ying Zoushu never imagined that his little disciple, Huaiqing, would force his way through a tribulation just to escape him, only to perish in the end.
Atop Qingya Mountain, the wind howled and his robes whipped about. Ying Zoushu clutched a lock of black hair in his hand and gazed into the distance.
"Huaiqing, is my love truly so toxic to you, like poison, that you can't wait to escape it?"
Though fate is hard to predict, Alano will bring us the good fortune of hope.
