"Xu Jiaqi, you really are brainless. I have always thought that you were smart, but turns out you can't even comprehend this kind of simple thing," With a set of depreciating laughter, Xu Jiaxin approached her sister.

"Ahh, my dear sister. I was really envious of you, but look where we are right now? In the end, am I not the winner?"

"Xu Jiaxin, stop talking in circles. I'm about to die, just answer my question straight away, en?"

Xu Jiaxin crouched down and grabbed her sister's chin, jerking it upwards. "Sister, we are both daughters of the Xu family, are we not? We are both humans, we try hard to do our best, so why is it that you are always better than me? I hate being second, you know?"

"Haah.. I can't believe I still have to spell it out for you. Xu Jiaqi, we are always being compared, every single move we make is analyzed, but you somehow do everything better than me, so I hate you. Hate you to the point where.. I want to erase your existence out of the world."

"I admit, you really are a prodigy, ah. Much better than me. What I need to do with five hours of hard work, you can do it within an hour," Xu Jiaxin said. "Then, I realized that you were actually stupid. I used this filthy method to win over you, I know it's unfair, but didn't I win anyway?"

Xu Jiaqi couldn't muster up any more strength to reply and weakly mouthed the words 'you are despicable'.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of this silly Wang Zhengyu. Thanks to you, he was depraved of love, so I just had to come and sweep him in with simple tricks~ I roped him in, and he willingly helped me set up so much plans. You can pass on now and bless our love as a vengeful ghost. Count the Xu family inheritance as mine.. Those old bones are all about to die, everything will be mine soon!" With a wretched expression, Xu Jiaxin said.

This case, Xu Jiaqi couldn't accept. It just didn't click right in her head.

Compared to Wang Zhengyu, who brought up the topic of love, she was dissatisfied with what Xu Jiaxin presented.

All of this, wasn't it just blind hatred? Vicious!

Xu Jiaqi frowned as she felt another rush of pain spread through her body. She coughed a mouthful of blood onto Xu Jiaxin's lap, which caused the woman to shriek and back away.

Her vision darkened, and she finally lost control over her body. She closed her eyes and accepted her death bitterly.

What was done couldn't be reverted. She was not an expert in medicine, but even a regular person would be able to tell that Xu Jiaqi was beyond saving.

Letting out her last breath, Xu Jiaqi was declared dead that very moment.

'I never understood some things people conceived as normal.'

'Out of all the stupidity that roams the world, I find love to be the most irritable thing.'

'Why do we need love? Is it edible? What good does it bring?'

'From what I've heard, love is poisonous. So much of my acquaintances got in heaps of trouble, and some had it even worse. They were tricked, used, and abused. Some even lost their lives.'

'Love is like a disease. A disease I wouldn't ever want to get in touch with.'

'Then, on the topic of my sister, I also couldn't fathom how she was able to draw such a dumb conclusion.'

'Mindless envy.'

'I know she wanted to win against me, but what did I do to deserve death?'

'I know myself, I know her. It's been years since we first met.'

'She would never be able to win against me, but instead of accepting that loss, she actually wanted to use such a despicable method. What did she want to achieve? After winning against me, what does she get?'

'I loathe that sort of attitude, but there's nothing I'm able to do now that I'm deceased.'

'Wang Zhengyu mouthed so much about love, but according to Xu Jiaxin's words, he was used, used to the point of no return ah.'

'Haah.'

'Do they really think this is inside a novel? Committing a crime like that, especially against me, the heiress of the Xu family. They think they will be let off?'

'First mistake was setting me as a target. Second mistake was thinking that Wang Zhengyu is my only ally. Third mistake is.. moping about love in the first place.'

'Love should've never existed in the first place. They criticize my views on the world, but I am just being sensible.'

'Love.. should just be destroyed.'

[Really?] A strange voice appeared.

'Really. Have you not seen my life? It was perfect, everything was going well, I just needed to go along with it until I die as a white-haired grandmother. My biography would've been serene and peaceful down to the littlest details.'

[The data states that in your career, you have destroyed 136 companies as a result of your actions, whether direct or indirect.]

'Well, to carve the perfect mold, sacrifices are needed.' Xu Jiaqi calmly replied.

[Xu Jiaqi, this one feels like you are pitiful, you haven't lived your life out to the brim yet. You have fallen before you could do so. Thus, would you like to enter the Host program?]

'A sudden promotion?' Xu Jiaqi mocked.

Turns out, this mysterious voice was only a salesman? What kind of sketchy ploy is a 'Host program'?

Her parents once warned her that plotters exist in every single corner of this universe, this must be another plotter looking for preys. She won't fall for it.

'No'. She refused without much thought.

[Xu Jiaqi, this one feels like you are pitiful, you haven't lived your life out to the brim yet. You have fallen before you could do so. Thus, would you like to enter the Host program?]

'...'

A second offer?
