The Rise of Our Goddess, Her Majesty, The World's First Queen.

"Ring, Ring..." The alarm clock on the bedside table rang precisely at seven o'clock. A slender, fair hand emerged from the pink quilt, grabbed the alarm clock, and threw it at the wall.

However, the alarm clock continued ringing. Finally unable to bear the noise, she sat up, rubbed her eyes, and muttered, "So annoying, can't even sleep in the morning..."

A woman's voice came from outside, "Lian'er, if you don't get up now, you'll be late. Today is your first day transferring to the new school. Think about how you'll face everyone if you're late."

Her mother's words jolted her awake. She remembered it was her first day at the new school. She ran her hands through her long hair and yawned, "I can't believe I forgot such an important day. Let's see, class starts at 7:40, and I set the alarm for 7... Hmm, where's the alarm clock?"

Chu Lian realized the alarm clock was missing from the bedside table. She looked around and finally found it, stopped, in the corner by the wall. Checking the time: "7:10..."

Realizing she was running late, Chu Lian drowsily calculated the time: "Ten minutes to wash up, ten minutes for breakfast, ten minutes to get to school, and class starts at..." She counted and found that no matter how fast she hurried, the result would be the same: "I'll be late... I'll be late... I'll be late..."

Knowing she couldn't delay any longer, she quickly got up, took off her nightgown, changed into the school uniform that had been sent a few days ago, stumbled around packing her bag, and rushed into the bathroom to wash up.

A young couple in the living room saw her rushing around on the second floor and exchanged a glance, smiling.

After a while, the man said, "Look, Lian'er is just like you when you were young. She's grown up, but sometimes she's still so absent-minded, it's worrisome."

The woman rolled her eyes at him, "You have the nerve to say that, weren't you the one who told me not to wake her up? Besides, when was I ever absent-minded? I was just indifferent to other things! If I took something seriously, I could do anything."

"I misspoke, you weren't absent-minded..." The man coughed and said, "I was just worried she was too excited to sleep last night, so I thought I'd let her sleep a bit longer, or she'd be exhausted during class."

The woman chuckled as she got up to get breakfast, saying, "You're going to spoil her. She's in middle school now, she should know better."

As they were talking, Chu Lian came out of the bathroom, saw the time, and immediately ran downstairs. Her skirt fluttered, and her figure was as light as a feather, captivating.

Seeing her like this, the woman couldn't help but brighten up and praise, "As expected, my Lian'er is the cutest. Come, let mommy hug you..." She turned and reached out to hug Chu Lian.

At thirteen, Chu Lian was shorter than her peers, not even reaching 1.4 meters in height.

Her body was small, limbs slender, and her features were delicately crafted like a piece of art.

The seemingly fragile girl looked as if a gust of wind could blow her over, making one want to protect her.

Perhaps due to being in a rush, her long eyelashes trembled lightly, and she was slightly out of breath.

A strand of long hair fell from behind her ear to her front, which she played with by twirling it around her fingers.

Her cherry-colored lips were lightly pursed, as if she didn't want to talk. Maybe she was used to silence, or simply didn't like to communicate.

Her clothes were a new style of school uniform, as beautiful as those in illustrations.

The top was blue and white, and she wore a pure blue skirt.

A pair of pure white stockings reached just above her knees, exposing a tempting slice of skin between the skirt and the stockings.

This outfit, combined with her physique, made her look like she had stepped out of a manga, adorably mischievous, instantly likable.

Seeing her mother rushing over, Chu Lian hesitated but gently sidestepped, letting her mother miss the hug, and then sat down to have breakfast.

Her mother didn't mind missing the hug, just bit her lip and glared at the laughing man before returning to her seat and watching Chu Lian eat. They weren't in a hurry; they had plenty of time before work. They just didn't know how Chu Lian would handle being late.

After quietly finishing breakfast, Chu Lian finally spoke, "I remembered after washing my face, I can call Wang Tingsi to drive me to school, so don't worry about me being late."

The couple exchanged a glance, seemingly understanding each other's thoughts: "That boy will probably be used by Lian'er again. Even though he doesn't know about her past, he should understand that she inherently dislikes males. Approaching her like this, one has to admire his courage."

Of course, they wouldn't say these words aloud. They were well aware of Chu Lian's aversion to males, and speaking out would only create tension.

Watching her eat breakfast, her father put down his newspaper and hesitated before saying, "Lian'er, due to an increase in company business, your mom and I will be very busy soon. We might not be home much, so you need to adapt to school life quickly and make more friends. Since your sisters aren't home, if we're not home either, you'll feel lonely living alone. So..."

Chu Lian's heart skipped a beat, slightly surprised by the sudden news, but she had no other concerns. Living alone in peace suited her best.

At least, it suited the old her best.

So, before he could finish, she replied, "I understand. Transferring schools isn't a big deal, I'll quickly adapt to school life, don't worry about me."

Her mother added, "Is there nothing you want to say to mom?"

"Just to take care of yourselves and not worry about me. You know, although I don't like playing with boys, I'm very popular among girls. Also, I have a little fame, so they won't dare to bully me."

"Although this identity doesn't mean much in such a world-renowned school, at least you don't have to worry about any problems. So you can focus on your work..."

As Chu Lian spoke, she finished her breakfast, tidied up her things to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything, slung her bag over her shoulder, walked to the entrance, changed into her little boots, and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now. Goodbye." With that, she tapped her boots, waved, and opened the door.

Behind her, the young couple exchanged a bitter glance but said nothing. Just as she was about to step out, her mother said, "Lian'er, be careful on the road."

Chu Lian responded from outside, "I will."

After bidding farewell to her parents, Chu Lian waited at the door for a while until she saw a luxurious car slowly drive up nearby. A car window rolled down, revealing a grinning boy's face.

Seeing the beautiful girl walking out of the gate, he almost felt like teasing her immediately.

However, before he could speak, Chu Lian gave him a fierce glare, making him shut his mouth obediently.

Knowing Chu Lian was angry, he didn't dare to make a fuss. He had a way with everyone, except for this girl who had saved his life.

Just as he was about to get out and open the door for her, he saw her back.

Chu Lian had no intention of sitting next to him, turning to the other side and finding the furthest seat from him, clearly not wanting to be near him.

If it weren't for not wanting to trouble her parents and her not being old enough to drive, she wouldn't have wanted to contact this boy with ill intentions.

Seeing her like this, Wang Tingsi had no choice. He couldn't force her to sit next to him. If he angered her, she might never speak to him again. Who could he complain to then?

Feeling dejected, the boy sat alone, instructed the driver to start the car, and frequently glanced at Chu Lian while looking outside.

But Chu Lian just kept her head down, playing with her phone, completely ignoring him, giving him a sense of helplessness: "Am I really that annoying? She'd rather look at her phone than glance at me. Ever since I found out where she lives, she's never given me a good look. It seems this has crossed her bottom line. I should be more restrained in the future. But, according to rumors, she has no interest in boys and treats girls differently. I wonder if..."

As he thought, he didn't dare continue. If Chu Lian really was like that, he would have no chance at all. Although, looking at the current situation, he didn't have any chance anyway.

Wang Tingsi sat there uneasily, unaware that Chu Lian was thinking, "Saving him once has become a burden for me. In the future, I must think carefully before intervening, or I might have to run away if another one comes along. Girls are indeed cute, but boys who cling persistently are really annoying."

Their destination was Suti High School, a private institution that included both middle and high school levels. The school's founder, Liu Jiancheng, the richest man in Suchen, established this school not as an elite institution but to ensure that students would be grateful to his company after graduating. This way, when they considered employment, his company would be their first choice, which is crucial for the company's development.

This background highlights that Suti High School is not an elite school or a traditional one focused solely on academic achievement. Its primary goal is to nurture well-rounded individuals rather than mere bookworms. Therefore, the school has a very free atmosphere with numerous activities and clubs.

However, this freedom does not mean it is a "bad school" in the traditional sense. A free atmosphere does not equate to students skipping classes or not submitting homework. Despite having fewer than 3,000 students, this school consistently has three or four students in the top ten of each grade in the citywide exams, making it a top-tier academic institution.

The admission criteria for this school are very high. Besides academic performance, applicants must have at least one talent assessed and approved by the school.

Today, the school welcomed a new transfer student, an unprecedented trouble magnet who would stir the school's calm atmosphere.

Regardless, the arrival of this girl was seen as a positive event.

Today, the students in Class 1 of the first year of middle school were not immersed in their studies as usual but were filled with anticipation. Among the new and transfer students, some of the most famous ones would be joining their class.

These geniuses were known nationwide, so even these students, considered geniuses among ordinary people, couldn't suppress their excitement and curiosity.

In the spacious classroom, two girls by the window were chatting quietly. One with short hair clasped her hands together, starry-eyed, saying, "I heard Wang Tingsi is among the new transfer students. He's transferring from his previous school to ours, and apparently, he'll be in our class. I'm so excited! Do you know? He looked so handsome playing the Ninth Prince of Jin..."

The other long-haired girl, also a fan of Wang Tingsi, smiled happily, "I know about it too, but my favorite role of his was the young Jia Baoyu. He looked so dashing as the romantic nobleman!"

"Yes, whether it was the Ninth Prince of Jin or the young Jia Baoyu, he captured the essence and charm of both characters perfectly. He's so attractive..." "Exactly, and also, when he played..." The two girls whispered, occasionally covering their mouths and giggling, clearly delighted.

Of course, they weren't the only ones talking about the new students. Another group of boys was also discussing, but their topic was two different students.

"I can't wait to meet the rumored literary genius girl. I saw her photo; she's so cute and talented. She might become the most famous representative of our school's literature department. Then, we can boast about being her classmates..." Several boys eagerly anticipated the new students. One chubby boy with glasses, evidently a fan of Chu Lian, said this.

Hearing this, another boy with a buzz cut disagreed, "Compared to Chu Lian, I prefer Cai Ya. That so-called literary genius girl only writes, no matter how famous she is, she's not as well-known as Cai Ya."

He was a fan of another girl named Cai Ya, so it was normal for him to rebut, "I think Cai Ya is the best. She's beautiful and performed on the New Year's Gala this year. Among new singers, she's the most outstanding. Although she comes from a noble family, she's very down-to-earth and never looks down on others. Such a girl is a true goddess, worthy of admiration."

The chubby boy wanted to argue but seeing others agreeing with the buzz-cut boy, he gave up, shrinking back and listening to them talk about Cai Ya.

Of course, those who could get into this school had their own pride. Despite many discussing these matters, some students were still studying diligently.

Soon, the class bell rang, and all the students returned to their seats, taking out their morning reading books. A refined woman with white-framed glasses walked in, clicked her heels on the floor, pressed the lesson plan on the desk, and coughed, "Start your morning reading now. When class begins, I'll bring the new students. Remember to behave properly."

After speaking, the teacher left, and the students began their morning reading.

Chu Lian, carrying her bag, walked into the teacher's office and saw several students with bags standing aside. She counted silently, six boys and five girls, plus herself and Wang Tingsi behind her, making thirteen new students. For some reason, all the transfer students gathered at this moment, seemingly part of a special plan by the school.

But that didn't matter to her. She only knew that another period of middle school life was beginning. Fortunately, unlike the perpetually elementary school-aged Detective Conan, she just had to repeat once, which could be considered good luck. Thinking this, she sighed silently, knowing this time would definitely be different.

While she looked at others, they were also looking at her. Unlike her brief glance, others had heard of her or seen her photos. Seeing her in person, they couldn't help but be curious. After a while, finding her extremely good-looking but otherwise ordinary, they lost interest.

Only a girl with slightly curly hair and Wang Tingsi continued to observe her. The former was curious about someone who could match her, while Wang Tingsi simply admired her cuteness.

Chu Lian, used to being the center of attention, ignored them and quickly retreated into her own world, becoming oblivious to her surroundings.

In other words, she was daydreaming.

The new students waited for a while until the woman with white-framed glasses walked in.

She counted the students, found them all present, nodded, and said, "You are either excellent students from other schools or young prodigies newly enrolled. Compared to your peers, you are more outstanding and mature. Therefore, I won't reiterate the school rules. If you have any questions, you can ask me."

After finishing, she said, "Now, I'll take you to your respective classes. Remember, don't wander around before you familiarize yourselves with the place. It's big, so be careful not to get lost."

Her words brought Chu Lian out of her daze. Seeing others following, she also walked out quietly. She felt a slight thrill, perhaps in anticipation of this new school life?

Shaking her head, she dismissed the thought. No matter what, she had to repeat school life. She might as well enjoy it.

Among the thirteen students, only five ended up in Class 1, including herself, the girl with slightly curly hair, Wang Tingsi, and two silent boys.

When the teacher led them into the classroom, the initially noisy room fell silent.

This was a sign of respect for the new students and anticipation for their new classmates. The quality of these new students had kept them waiting for a long time...
