1: Reborn seven years ago
On the dim street, people passing by did not speak to each other, as if they were strangers.
Even when they saw a woman collapse on the ground, no one intended to step forward to help; they all turned a blind eye.
At this moment, a man wearing black casual clothes saw this and stepped forward to check, "Miss, how are you? I'll call an ambulance right now, hang in there."
Jiang Li looked at the blurry figure before her, wanting to open her eyes to see more clearly, but she simply couldn't.
She felt as if she were in an ambulance, but her consciousness seemed to be getting more and more blurred.
[host detected, beginning binding... Beep... Beep... host's vitality is decreasing, starting rescue!]
...July, 2023.
Modu University, Girls' Dormitory 807.
Jiang Li sat up abruptly on the upper bunk, her forehead covered in sweat and her breathing rapid. She opened her eyes and looked at her surroundings.
It was very familiar. Wasn't this her university dormitory? How could she be here?
Jiang Li got down from the upper bunk and saw herself in the mirror.
Her face in the mirror was still full of collagen, not yet crushed by the pressures of life, nor wrinkled and aged significantly.
She took out her phone to check the time: July 7, 2023.
This was her senior year, the period when she was preparing for an internship and about to leave school.
Not knowing what came to mind, Jiang Li immediately used her phone to call her father.
The ringtone, which she hadn't heard for a long time, rang out bit by bit in Jiang Li's ears.
Finally, the call connected, and a voice came from the other side, "Lili, what's wrong? Do you miss Papa? If you do, just come back. Don't work part-time over there anymore."
Listening to the familiar voice, mist clouded Jiang Li's eyes, and tears welled up, uncontrollably streaming down her face.
But to keep her father from worrying, she adjusted her breathing, "Papa, I'm fine. I just missed you and Mama."
"Is that so, Lili? Then in a few days, your mother and I will go see you, alright? We haven't seen Modu yet!"
"Sure, Papa. I'll be waiting for you in Modu."
After a few more words, Jiang Jun had something to do and hung up first.
Then Jiang Li called her mother, Su Wan, and spoke with her for a bit.
Jiang Li sat in her chair, looking at herself in the mirror, finally certain that she had truly been reborn—reborn to seven years ago.
However, she remembered that before she died, she seemed to have encountered someone. He was the one who helped her call the ambulance, though she still died in the end.
Forget it, she didn't see his face clearly. She would repay him later if she had the chance.
[host detected, beginning binding...]
Hearing this voice, Jiang Li finally remembered that she had heard it when she died, but at that time her consciousness was nearing collapse, so she hadn't had the chance to pay attention to it.
[Binding successful... Hello, host. I am the Shenhao Fair-Skinned Rich Beauty System No. 79.]
Jiang Li had read novels before; after all, university days were often spent on them.
"System?"
[It is a pleasure to serve you. This is a gift for you, please sign for it!]
After waiting a long time with no further news, Jiang Li tried speaking, "Sign for it?"
[Ding! Gift being distributed... Congratulations to the host for obtaining 100 million yuan in cash, one rolls-royce phantom, and one rolls-royce cullinan!]
Just as the system's voice finished, her phone rang.
Looking at it, it was a message about her bank card.
[Bank of China] Your bank card ending in 6999 received 100,000,000 yuan on July 7, 2023. Balance: 100,002,697 yuan.
Before Jiang Li could react, she received a call from the Bank of China, "Hello, is this Ms. Jiang?"
Jiang Li immediately responded, "It's me."
"Ms. Jiang, it's like this. We have detected a deposit of 100 million yuan into your bank card, so we are upgrading your card to a Black Card. When would you be able to come to the bank with your ID card?"
"...I'll head over in a bit."
"Alright, Ms. Jiang. We will be waiting for you at the Bank of China!"
After the person finished speaking, Jiang Li hung up the phone.
Immediately after, another call came in, "Hello, is this Ms. Jiang?"
"It's me." Jiang Li was more experienced this time, and her tone was much steadier.
"Ms. Jiang, we are the Modu 4S Shop. Where should we deliver the rolls-royce cullinan you ordered?"
"Deliver it to the North Gate of Modu University."
"Alright, Ms. Jiang. By the way, the other rolls-royce phantom you ordered has not arrived yet; it will take some time."
"That's fine."
"Alright, Ms. Jiang. We will immediately send someone to deliver the car to the North Gate of Modu University."
"Mm."
Jiang Li hung up the phone and looked at the message about her bank card; it was truly nice.
She thought, so this is how good it feels to be rich.
Looking at the time, it was 3:00 PM. Her roommates were currently taking an exam. Because she had gone out for a dinner gathering last night and caught a slight cold upon returning, she had a fever today. Thus, her counselor had allowed her to take the makeup exam in a few days.
Feeling her forehead, she was fine now. It was a good time to go to the bank.
So Jiang Li opened her wardrobe, planning to change clothes, and applied light makeup.
Jiang Li was the type of beauty with a delicate, natural look; a bit of simple makeup made her look very exquisite.
Her peach blossom eyes were very alluring.
Over the years, she had always maintained her figure well, keeping it around 90 jin.
After everything was ready, she looked at the message from the 4S shop and left with her phone.
Arriving at the North Gate, she saw many people gathered in a circle discussing something. Jiang Li took a look; it seemed to be the car that was delivered.
She had just glanced at the message from the 4S shop; it was indeed correct.
Walking closer, she heard people gossiping, "Has another second-generation rich person appeared in our school? This is a rolls-royce cullinan! It costs 8 million! When can I own one? Even just a tire would be nice!"
"Who on earth could it be? Is he handsome? Could he take an interest in me and keep me as his mistress?"
"You? Dream on. You're not even that good-looking."
"Get lost! Am I not even allowed to fantasize a bit!"
Hearing the words of these two girls, the corners of Jiang Li's mouth curled up slightly. She was in a very good mood right now.
However, she was immediately interrupted, "Move aside! What are you all crowding around here for? If you scratch it, can you afford the repairs?"
The person who spoke had just finished when they hurriedly started carrying someone else's bag.
"Jiajia, is this the car your dad bought for you? Your dad really dotes on you too much!"
Shen Jia looked at the rolls-royce cullinan before her.
She thought, I didn't expect Dad to buy me such an expensive car.
But usually, she was accustomed to being arrogant. Hearing someone say that now, she replied, "Of course. I'm my father's only daughter. If he doesn't dote on me, who would he dote on!"
