I Became a Winner in Life After Leaving My Toxic Friend [The 1990s]

Lu Shiyi was reborn, returning to one month before she jumped to her death in her previous life.

At the time, she was surrounded on all sides. Someone had posted photos of her singing at a karaoke bar on the school's bulletin board. Her counselor found out, the dean found out, and the whole school was abuzz. Everyone was gossiping behind her back, calling her a prostitute. She wanted to explain, but her friend Li Manni kept urging her not to.

"The innocent will be proven innocent. Do you think one voice can stand against hundreds, even thousands? The more you explain, the worse it'll get. You'd be better off waiting for things to die down."

In her previous life, she believed her and let the rumors spread.

Then Li Manni accidentally got pregnant. On the way to the hospital with her, Lu Shiyi was photographed again. Once more, a picture of her standing outside the obstetrics and gynecology department was posted on the school's biggest bulletin board, accompanied by shocking red text: "Slutty campus beauty caught at the maternity ward for an abortion! Thousands sign petition demanding expulsion!"

The densely packed signatures and thumbprints beneath it made her legs buckle.

Furious, she went to tell the counselor the truth, but Li Manni fell to her knees and begged her, sobbing pitifully. "Shiyi, if you tell the truth, I'll never be able to show my face again. My mom worked herself to the bone to save enough for my tuition. If I'm expelled, she'll beat me to death!"

Faced with her friend's desperate pleas, Lu Shiyi's mind went blank. This was her best friend. Could she really drag her down into hell, too?

She chose to help cover it up, but underestimated the power of public opinion. Even as she leaped from the roof of the thirteenth floor, she still didn't understand how things had come to this.

At least she had another chance to start over.

She also learned that some people who call themselves friends are really accomplices to your ruin.
