Resumen

— Quick Trailer Who said you couldn't dominate the world without a system, connections, or wealth? Yi Fei, an average damsel in distress, has been ridden with social anxiety, low self-esteem, and so much more. Yet... in the boundless plains of depression lays a legend in the making. Can she rise to a different 'her'? The path to stardom was never easy. — Random Part She just sang. Something she would never do, even in the comfort of her own home. It seemed that even if she screamed till her lungs burst, the room would just mute her out. There was a tranquilizing, almost magical feel to this spectral of a room. — Author’s Note If you like becoming the MC, maybe you'll like this one. It'll teach you that even when things aren't alright, you can prevail and go against fate. Bear with her weakness for the first few chapters. When you see MC grow strong into an empowering woman, it will be really satisfying. - Credits to @jenjibread for cover~

Chapter 1The Girl In The Mirror

"M-my name is Yi Fei, and I-I am tired of-f being... myself," A short-statured girl spoke in front of a bathroom mirror. "I... I want to c-change..."

A moment of silence passed before the girl furiously slammed her fist at the metal sink's handle, turning the filtered water on full blast. The vigorous water almost immediately bounced off the sink and started to spray the girl's cheap clothes, drenching it in the process.

"Frick, Yi Fei, why are you stuttering even to a mirror!? Why are you trying so hard and failing at even this?!" The girl heaved heavily, clutching at her faded pink shirt. Her breaths gradually became longer and sustained. Closing her eyes, she calmly turned off the strong water that was still soaking her clothes.

Slowly, Yi Fei looked up at the mirror, focusing her gaze deep into its murky reflection. Looking back at her was the girl, wretched in form as it emerged with ugly, reddened eyes from the night before staying up to thinking of her classmates' comments. Her huge blocky eyeglasses gathered most of the attention, brimming in pure jet black. Her lips were dried and cracked from never drinking enough water and crying every day. Her cheeks were swollen and thin from malnourishment. Her fine, wavy hair was all over her head with static pulling the hair at all sorts of places.

'How desperate. How pathetic.' Yi Fei thought. 'How increasingly ugly.'

It pained her eyes, seeing such a person like this. This kind of person was the one she hated the most.

"Yi Fei! Are you still using the restroom? Hurry up! You're going to make your brother late!" An old man forcibly kicked the wooden door. "You've been in here for 25 minutes! Just get out right now!"

Yi Fei was frightened in a stupor, but managed to talk back, "But I still need to brush my—"

"Brush f**king what! Get out or I'll f**king make you!" The middle-aged man violently shouted at the top of his lungs, creasing his thick, unkempt eyebrows.

Yi Fei heard a soft sound of jangling keys, and she instinctively got out of the restroom and hastily headed to her bedroom. She knew he meant business. In the narrow hallway, she locked eyes with her tall brother for a second, seeing his sympathizing gaze towards her. She ignored him, slamming the door shut.

"I don't need pity from the likes of you," Yi Fei muttered under her breath, putting her back against the door. She made a hefty sigh before getting up, picking out the same clothes she wears every day. Uniform and an oversized, dark blue hoodie in hopes for everyone to not notice her today.

Suddenly, her phone vibrated and a notification popped up:

Ring-da-ling. Momo's reply~

Even After My Death

Jiang Ning was the true heiress of the Huo Family, lost and living outside. After being brought back by her family, her birth parents didn't like her, her cold-faced brother despised her, and her twin brothers would tell her to get lost from the home at the drop of a hat. Waking up alone in the hospital, she was diagnosed by the doctor with a terminal illness, yet her own family was busy throwing a party for the fake heiress. Jiang Ning was furious! She kicked these so-called family members one by one, sending them all flying! If they didn't accept her, she didn't care for them either! ...... Jiang Ning participated in a rural countryside live stream variety show. Her haters caught wind and came to greet Jiang Ning's entire family in the barrage of messages. But what they found was: Day one: Shock! Jiang Ning catches a thief on the street! A golden retriever runs over to help her. Day two: Jiang Ning snatches a child back from human traffickers with her bare hands! A bird publicly defecates on the traffickers' heads! Day three: Jiang Ning fights a criminal in a life-and-death struggle! A goose mocks them at the scene. Thief: "I had already finished stealing, and she still caught me. It's absurd." Murderer on the run for sixteen years: "You might not believe it, but I just came to buy a bottle of water, and she came up to me with a big right hook." A nice countryside live stream somehow turned into a legal synergy. The online audience crazily tagged the official police accounts: "Let's be honest, isn't she an undercover agent you dispatched?" "Jiang Ning's side job is entering the entertainment industry, but her main role is catching criminals, right?" A certain big shot attached a wedding photo: "Wife, mine."

The Little Brat’s Sweet And Sassy

The entire Yunzhou knew that the Ye Family had a new step-child in the house: Ning Li, a low-born and barely literate. However, when she looked at her 17 years old self in the mirror after coming back to life, she grinned. At 17, her step-siblings had yet destroyed her looks and stolen her glory—she still had everything with her. Since she was given an opportunity to start over, she ought to take revenge on everyone who had wronged her before. It would be interesting. After Ning Li was chased out of the Ye Family, she was cherished by the most popular solo singer in the entertainment industry, protected by the top international racer, courted by the heir to a multimillion corporation, and loved by her billionaire grandfather who wanted her to inherit the family business. Even Second Master Lu said to her, “Hold up you little brat, I think you should come home with me.” Rumor had it that Second Master Lu was handsome and beyond any girl’s reach until that one fateful day, when someone saw a drawing of a cool and proud young boy with bangs covering his eyes fall out from Second Master Lu’s book. The news spread like wildfire overnight, and on the next day, Second Master Lu was questioned. Ning Li coincidentally passed by, and upon considering her relationship with him in her past life, she stepped in and shut down the busybodies. Lu Huaiyu stared at the girl before him as he subtly put away the love letter in his hands and said with a smile, “I shall repay you with my body for saving my life.” A long while later, Ning Li saw herself in that particular drawing and she was silenced. She knew it was all a huge mistake.

One Wild Night

Lucinda Perry, a social recluse and a workaholic, makes a pledge to herself to go all wild on her twenty-fifth birthday and even score a one night stand if she gets her long deserved promotion at work. Few days to her twenty-fifth birthday, she gets promoted to not just a higher position but to the head office in a different city. Having to spend her birthday night in a new city, she goes to the club where she meets a very handsome stranger, Thomas Hank, who offers to be her one night stand after catching a glimpse of her dare-to-do list, which included having a one night stand. Thomas Hank, after having been used by several ladies in the past, is bent on getting the lady of his dreams who would love him for himself and not his wealth. So when he meets the cute and naive Lucinda Perry at the club, he decides to keep his true identity from her and find out if she was worth keeping. ***Excerpt*** What is more entertaining than a crazy side character? Say hello to Sonia and Bryan. Sonia's heart stopped beating for a second, and then different thoughts started flying right through her head at that same time. Bryan Hank? Her celebrity crush was kneeling right in front of her and asking her to be his wife? Was he mistaking her for someone? Was it possible this was a skit, or maybe this was like one of those celebrity pranks, and there were cameras around, waiting to capture her make a fool of herself? Or perhaps she was dreaming? Sonia wondered as she looked around them, but all she saw were curious onlookers. "Please! Be my wife and make me the happiest man on Earth," He said in a very loud voice that caught the attention of everyone. Her editor who she had been waiting on for over an hour because he was trying to sign a deal with a movie producer who was interested in one of her stories, showed up at that moment, "Sonia, you know Bryan Hank?" Her editor asked in genuine surprise as he watched the scene before him. It seemed like an hour had passed since Bryan went on his knees, but it had only been a minute. Bryan knew no lady would be crazy enough to accept such a crazy proposal, and even if any were, paying her off and calling off the whole thing would be easy since all he wanted was the scandal that could come from this. The headlines were either going to be about his rejected Marriage proposal or his supposed engagement, which would be enough to let Sophia off the hook. "Yes!" Sonia said as she bobbed her head excitedly and extended her finger for him to wear her the ring. "Yes?" Bryan asked in confusion when he heard her response. "Yes! I will be your wife and make you the happiest man in the world!" Sonia said with a giggle and wiggled her fingers until Bryan slid the ring down her finger. Surprisingly the ring was her exact size, and it sat on her finger like it was made just for her. The sound of applause erupted all around them as Sonia stood up with a big smile on her face and embraced Bryan before kissing him right on the lips. Bryan was slightly taken aback by her boldness but quickly recovered since this was his game, and he had to play along. He was the one who had approached her first, after all. So when she tried to break the kiss, he held her chin and slowly nibbled on her lower lip before parting her lips with his tongue and sucked on it in a teasing manner, eliciting a moan from Sonia. Sonia felt light-headed. This was too good to be true. It just had to be a dream. How else could she explain that one moment she was seated at the lobby of a hotel waiting for her editor, and the next she was engaged to her celebrity crush and was kissing him right here in the open?

Devilish secretary

After centuries of ruling the underworld with terrifying power, Lilith dies in an epic battle, only to be reborn in the human world. But instead of a grand rebirth as a queen of darkness, she's reincarnated as something far more mundane—a secretary. Rather than despair, Lilith finds this new life amusing. After all, who would suspect the devil herself to be working a 9-to-5? Settling into her new reality, Lilith embraces her role, living in a luxurious apartment and working diligently in her office. Though her devilish instincts are hard to suppress, she's determined to be the perfect secretary. But when people push her too far, the devil within still comes out to play. When a creep in the office dares to look at her the wrong way, she calmly fixes her gaze on him. "You keep staring like that, and I'll show you what a broken wrist feels like." The man quickly scurries away, leaving Lilith with a satisfied smirk. Even the rich, entitled girl from accounting isn't safe from her wrath. "You think you can push me around just because you've got money? I've burned entire kingdoms for less. Don't test me." She says this with a calm smile, her eyes glinting dangerously. The day continued like that—stopping creeps in their tracks, putting rude heiresses in their place, and being the flawless secretary she intended to be. But, of course, her boss—the CEO—had his eyes on her, more curious than ever. And while the entire office might fear her or wonder about her, she remained blissfully indifferent. This was fun. And she wasn't here to impress anyone but herself. Who knew being a secretary could be so... interesting?
