概要

— 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~

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?

Ah! Finally some romance that doesn't involve bloody cliches and dramas like multi-angle relationships and all those frigging CEO/President rich-family stuff∠( ᐛ 」∠)_Very refreshing. Personally never a pure-romance reader, but I love this work. Again I will do my old habit of deducting what author is like through the text: A person who is at least familiar with the language enough to write like a native and also very into East-Asian culture--because despite the writing style is very American, the way the story begins is just giving me such a strong deja-vu of those Mainland/Taiwanese/Japanese youth romance tv series/anime...except for the one-guy-looking-gay part maybe (laugh), that is more commonly seen in typical western romances. Though the book is overall very good, the biggest shining point in here is the character building--everyone with a name is vividly portraited, especially the MC. I somewhat grew up very similarly to her (though now it's my turn to be the "mysterious cold beauty" in this European college∠( ᐛ 」∠)_Karma's a bxtch) so I can totally feel and sympathize with her emotions, that's the proof enough of the realisticism in the character design. The only reason I'm not giving all-5 is that for a Chinese girl who pretty much saw all types of high-school romance every day back in my time, the story itself wasn't really THAT original--but still because the plots are well-paced and every other aspects are good, it's enjoyable to read nonetheless, even for a non-romance lover like me. P.S. I don't know if the author knows but there's a really famous celebrity in China who goes by the name Lu Han so I keep placing him in the story and can't help laughing (I'm not a fan of his, though). And Unravel XDDD I'm guessing you are a Tokyo Ghoul fan, yes? I've watched some of it and I know the song back and forward because it's so famous. But personally I still prefer Glassy Sky and yes I learnt this song∠( ᐛ 」∠)_
