Seorang pemuda yang dikatakan sebagai pemain terkuat, pemain pertama yang berhasil mendapatkan level max, namun dia berhenti bermain karena sesuatu, namun dia ingin membangun legendanya sekali lagi di game Vmmofps Mirror

*Bang!*
As he heard his bedroom door slam open, using all his will, he put a casual smile on his face to hide the pain he was feeling a moment ago, and slowly got out of bed.
Standing at the entrance to his room, Xie Yao was looking at him with a worried expression. However, when she saw Xie Feng's face correctly, the worry on her face turned to incredulity, and she stared at him with her mouth slightly open.
Yaoyao, is something wrong? Xie Feng asked with a slight frown. Seeing Xie Yao looking at him like that, somehow he felt that something was wrong, so the smile on his face slowly disappeared.
"Big brother Xie Feng... Are you okay...?". Xie Yao only spoke after hearing Xie Feng's voice and breathing a slight sigh of relief. Even then, her eyes and voice clearly expressed the confusion she felt.
Hearing Xie Yao's strange question, Xie Feng thought she had noticed something, but after looking at her better, he noticed that Xie Yao did not even seem to notice the objects on the floor. Her gaze was fixed on his face, apparently unable to turn away.
With a clearly confused tone of voice, he asked: "I'm fine... Yaoyao, I have something on my face?".
Xie Yao shook her head. She took Xie Feng's hand and wanted to drag him into the bathroom, but that's when she noticed that his body was soaked in sweat. She looked at the untidy bed, the almost completely torn sheets, the clear teeth marks on the pillow and the objects scattered on the floor.
She avoided looking at Xie Feng and looked away. Her beautiful eyes were flooded with tears, but she bit her lower lip hard and closed her eyes for a moment. Then, without saying anything about what she had just seen, she silently dragged Xie Feng into the bathroom, as he had no mirror in his room.
Seeing Xie Yao act this way, Xie Feng could not help but sigh inwardly. 
'This girl...'
Xie Yao clearly realized everything, but to avoid making things more difficult for him, she avoided asking questions and did her best to contain the pain that her heart felt.
Without saying anything, Xie Feng threw her gently into his arms and kissed her on the forehead.
When she felt his hug, Xie Yao finally couldn't hold back his tears and began to cry in silence. Except for the slight sound of a young woman crying, the room was silent with two people hugging and comforting each other.
Ten minutes passed before Xie Yao's crying stopped. 
When he finally lifted her face, Xie Feng gently caressed her cheeks and to try and lighten the heavy mood a little, he joked: "Do you want to become a panda?".
He took a picture of her with his cell phone and showed it to her.
Although Xie Yao doesn't need to wear makeup at all. But girls, as beautiful as they may be, always try to look even more beautiful. This is especially true for Xie Yao, since she lives next to Xie Feng, so she wants to be beautiful for him. Therefore, she always wears a little makeup to emphasize her innate beauty even more. 
Because she was crying for so long, the makeup in her eyes made her look like a panda teddy bear. Along with her pitiful appearance, she really looked extremely adorable at this moment.
When Xie Yao saw her current appearance, she blushed slightly and tried to take her cell phone away from Xie Feng.
Xie Feng quickly took the cell phone away from her, and with a playful chuckle said, "You can forget about that, Miss Xie. This picture will be my precious treasure from now on".
To prove that his words were no joke, Xie Feng put the picture he had just taken of her as his wallpaper. He looked at her with a smile and waved his cell phone as he showed her what he had done: "The young miss of the Xie family is really nice. She is even willing to pretend to be a panda teddy bear for me... I wonder how she knew that I like pandas...".
"You...you... Give it back to me!". Suddenly, Xie Yao jumped on Xie Feng like an angry tigress.
Xie Feng clearly did not expect her to do this, so he lost his balance and fell on the bed again.
When Xie Feng saw Xie Yao on him, stretching out her hands to take away his cell phone so that she could delete the picture, Xie Feng began to scream: "Help! A panda woman is attacking me!"
As if responding to his call for help, a person ran into the room and jumped on the bed. Now, two people were lying on Xie Feng's body.
"Animal Control at your service, let me help you capture the wild panda".
Xie Feng and Xie Yao looked at the new member in astonishment. But before they could think too much, Gu Qianxue started tickling Xie Feng, making him unable to help but start laughing.
Amidst the laughter, he protested: "Hahaha! You...haha... traitor! Clearly you said you were animal control but you are helping the panda!".
As if she had forgotten what happened before, as if her tears were a lie, Xie Yao joined Gu Qianxue and started tickling Xie Feng.
The room that a few moments ago was impregnated by an aura of sadness and loneliness, now radiated light and joy. Only the laughter of three people was heard for a long time.
***
Before leaving Xie Feng's room, Xie Yao gave him one last glance and with a slight blush on her face, she said, "Big brother Xie Feng, you'd better see your present appearance for yourself in a mirror".
"Xie Feng, hurry up and get down the stairs! Tonight, due to the strong request of many fans, Shen Xinya will sing a small fragment of her song called Love of God!". Said Gu Qianxue with a happy smile.
After saying that, she and Gu Qianxue went downstairs and began to finish the preparations for dinner.
When Xie Feng saw the two ladies leave his room, the happy smile on his face disappeared and he breathed a sigh of relief.
What Xie Feng wants least in this world is to worry Xie Yao. Therefore, no matter what means he has to use, he will always make sure that the tears on her face are like a passing rain before the arrival of a beautiful rainbow on a sunny day.
He stood up and went to the bathroom in his room. However, when Xie Feng looked in the mirror, his first reaction was a normal expression.
The next second, he frowned and passed his hand over the surface of the mirror. Soon, his whole body shook and his eyes opened wide.
"What is this all about!!". A scream that could probably be heard by the neighbors came from Xie Feng's mouth as he stared at the mirror.
Xie Feng's look was always approximately 6/10. However, in the last few days he noticed that his appearance seemed to improve little by little, so that 6 was updated to a 7. 
The problem is his actual appearance. If before, his physical appearance was improving so gradually that the change was barely noticeable, then the current change is simply too much to be described in words.
Xie Feng was sure that no one, not even those Koreans with fake, operated faces, could compare to how good-looking he looked right now. He never saw a man who exceeded his current appearance... No, there was one.
His appearance on Samsara Online. 
Xie Feng's appearance in Samsara Online changed due to the Ring of the God of Destruction. It was a divine appearance, it definitely surpassed all human sense and could no longer be described in words as beautiful, handsome or hot. There were no words to describe it.
Suddenly, Xie Feng's eyes shook fiercely when he realized something that he had previously ignored. But now that he thinks carefully and puts some pieces together, he finally couldn't help but think about it... A thought completely unreasonable and meaningless to anyone else.
My physical appearance started to improve quickly after I started playing Samsara Online... Even before I could step outside the Beginner's Village, an forbidden item, the Ring of the God of Destruction, chose me as its holder... Before, I had not paid much attention to it, but now that I think about it, my appearance was slowly but surely approaching my appearance in the virtual world... The change in my appearance actually was a big jump, coincidentally today, the Pearl of Light chose me as its holder.
Xie Feng's eyes narrowed and, instead of continuing to think internally, he murmured in a low voice:
"A God, 7 pearls and my present appearance... What the hell is going on here... What's going on with Samsara Online... ".
The threads of destiny finally began to move into an unknown future.
************** End of volume 2! **************


In the year 2030, Samsara Online, a 100% immersive VRMMORPG that allows players to bring their innate real-world skills to the virtual world, is launched and supported by the World Central Bank.

With terrifying analytical ability, inhuman reflexes, and monstrous reaction speed, Xie Feng's travel starts into a world that he will gradually discover is not as normal as it seems.

It was also from that moment that Xie Feng's life started to deviate from the norm, changing his destiny completely.

”As long as I exist in this world, no one else is allowed to be #1!”

”All those who made her cry will pay!”

Note: In chapter 4 it might seem that something is forced, but trust me when I say that it is not.
Everything has a logical reason, I just hope you continue reading to discover it!

Note to readers who dislike the harem: The harem in this novel will not be like in 99% of the novels where the protagonist only picks up girls madly. This harem has a logical reason and a specific destiny connecting the protagonist with the girls. Believe me, if it wasn't a harem, at the end of the story you would just cry.

It was 8 in the morning,though she had a very good dream,Erika had headache for drinking too much.
"What a good and a bad start."She said while getting up.
She grabbed her phone and looked if she had messages or miss calls.
Then she realized she doesn't have any friends...
She frowned.
'I never knew drinking to much bear would make a person dumb.'
Then suddenly,she received a friend request.
[Do you have a Death wish!?]
'PFF!Hahah!'She laughed after she saw the username.
She tought it was someone she knew and had something urgent to tell her,so she accepted.
Then she began to type.
{Hello?Who is this?}
She sat down at her bed waiting for the other person's response,but...
It's been 10 minutes!
'Is this person offline?But,it says he's online,Weird.'
Then,she left her phone on her bed and went to changed her clothes.
After changing her clothes to a white sleeveless polka white dress,she went back to her bed and looked at her phone again if that person messaged her.
{Meet me,at Kumbucht street,number 4.Rooftop,Tonight at 9:30.
Edward}
'What?Do I know someone that has that name?Is it a new client or what?'
Then she looked at Edward's username...
'Pffft,hahah!I feel like that name is directed at me...'She laughed.
Then she grabbed a hairbrush from one of the drawers and went infront of a mirror.
She started to brush her hair,then did a ponytail.
She had a silky and smooth black hair.Her eyebrows were thin rounded eyebrows.Her eyes were turqoise,she also has a long eyelashes. She had a tiny turned up nose.Her lips were natural pink color.She was really beautiful.Erika looked at her reflection in the mirror and tought.
'Will you still be embarrased if my appearance is like this?'Her faced turned gloomy.But,then she stopped thinking about that Idiot,who only cares about appearances.She then grabbed her makeup set from one of her room's closet,and started to apply makeup on her face,making her face ugly.And wore a brown colored contact lenses.
It was her grandparents idea to hide her true face.
Since the day I was born, my mum doubted her own eyes when she saw me when I was a baby for the first time and tought I weren't her real baby.Because I was too beautiful and my eyes were also one of the main reasons.My grandma was beside her at that time,so she took me away at night when my mum was sleeping.And took the opportunity to put me makeup,and made me an averaged looking baby girl.As for my eyes,my grandma put a small sized contact lense on me,she naturally made it for me.
And the next day my mum was confused,but relieved at the same time.
Until now this still remained a secret between me and my grandma.
And no one except my grandparents have ever saw my real appearance.
A few minutes later she left her apartment.

"I want to embrace her and hug her,cast away her pain and be with her for the rest of my life."

The man swore in his heart.
'If only God will grant my wish and give me a reason to get closed to her and marry her...'

But then,suddenly when he was about to go and sleep in his bed he saw the girl was sleeping soundly in his bed.

"Oh,dear lord.Isn't this way too fast?!"

"Hey, Lili we are going to be late. Are you sure you aren't done yet?" he knocked on her bedroom door because he had been waiting for more than thirty minutes in her living room and she hasn't come out of her room. 
"Bobby, are you going to hate me if I changed my mind?" she asked behind the closed door, and when she didn't hear any reply from him, she opened the door and thinking of peeking on Bobby to find out why he didn't answer her. 
However, the moment she cracks the door open an arm slides on the small opening of the door, and Bobby's face came into view. 
"I won't hate you, but I would be disappointed." he honestly said. 
Lili pouted, and mumbled, "I couldn't understand why Dana had to choose this dress for me. I don't think I could go out and be in a room full of people wearing this dress. 
"Kiddo, whatever it is, I'm sure it wasn't that bad." he tried to push the door opened but Lili was determined to hide from him that she was pushing the door back. "Dana has a good fashion sense. I'm sure you look lovely with whatever she chose for you to wear." 
"The dress is pretty. But that's not the problem," she whined. 
Lili threw herself a glance from the mirror on her closet door. The dress looks fantastic. It fits her perfectly. Too perfect. The satin deep blue mini dress was just a step away to be called lingerie. It was so soft that the dress though it wasn't skin-tight, every time she moves the dress flow with the natural curves of her body.
Watching herself from the mirror, with how the makeup artist teases her hair into a low pony but leaving few strands that fall on her face, and behind her neck to give it an illusion of somehow just getting out of bed., - the word of the hairdresser. 
Observing herself from the mirror, she would agree with her words. Indeed she looked like she just rolled out of bed. Her makeup was impeccably applied that it looks like she wasn't wearing anything at all. 
If she didn't sit down in front of the makeup artist's table and saw with her own eyes how the makeup artist, skillfully applied the expensive makeup on her face, she would also believe that she wasn't wearing any cosmetics at all. That's how good the makeup artist was. 
"Sweetheart, the dress must be pretty but I am quite sure that you are prettier." he gave her praise. Hoping that Lili would be convinced to open her bedroom door, so they could be on the way to the party. 
He was thinking that the earlier they could extend their birthday wishes the earlier they could leave the party and not be part of the drama that he knew would go down. He didn't have an idea when or how it would happen, but he knew that Nana's eightieth birthday party wouldn't go down quietly.
Dana would be there for the first time. He wondered how Wang Wei would handle his mother once he introduced Dana. He grinned at the image of his best friend's predicament. But before he could be happy with Wang Wei's misfortune, he needed to coax the girl behind this door to keep her promise to come with him to the party. If not, he would be the one in a difficult situation. 
Fending off the women who were like vultures waiting for the next carcass to attack, would be waiting for him at the party. They would be a huge headache. He grimaced with the notion of a bunch of girls wearing different scents of perfume clinging to him at the party. Just thinking about it gave him shudders. 
"Lili, forget about the dress. You would look fantastic with any clothes Dana forced you to wear," he told her, still trying to peek at her, but failed. "Dana would never allow you not to look your very best."
Listening to Bobby assuring words, Lili somehow got the courage to open the door wider. But she did it so suddenly that Bobby was caught off guard and almost fell on his face because she opened it at the same time he was pushing the door open. 
When he looked up, he opened his mouth to tell off Lili when he saw the dress she was wearing. The deep blue mini-dress was only held with thin straps on her shoulder, exposing her milky skin and alluring collarbones. Her toned arms are crossed over her chest as her plump pinkish lips pouted in dissatisfaction.
His gaze traveled slowly to her face, the pout has always been present in her face since he met her. As usual, he found her sullen expression adorable, yet what surprised him was the softness that her messy updo alludes to. Her face was a promise of a night that would challenge his control over his lust. Lili looked like she was jostled by her lover in bed!
"Go ahead laugh." she sneered at him. 
"Sweetheart." was the only word that came out of his mouth. His eyes spoke volumes as he slowly gazes at her face, his eyes traveled down and linger on her shoulder bare with any sparkling jewelry, suggests of nothing but purity and innocence. Her pouty lips weren't helping at all. 
He lifted his eyebrow at her, as he playfully gave her a blatant look over, grinned with how she blushed
"You took my breath away. How could I laugh?" 
Lili bit her lower lip in embarrassment with how serious his voice singing her praise. She would like to deny what he was saying if only his eyes didn't speak volumes on how he like what he was seeing. 
"Y-you are not playing me…" she let her sentence trails watching his eyes clouded in desire. Lili felt a heat slowly crept from her neck to her ears, to her face. 
"No. I don't." he simply said, putting his hand on the pocket of his pants, offering his elbow for Lili. He smiled gently and in silence urged her to take his arm. 
"If people looked at you funny at Nana's birthday party, don't blame me!" she pulled a face, grabbing his elbow. 
"If there is someone I would blame, it would be myself," he said.
The statement made Lili furrowed her eyebrows as she looked up at him because, despite the open-toed high heels sandals that Dana had her put on, she still has to lean back to look at Bobby's face, she talked to her midget self at the back of her mind. 
"Just don't forget our deal. I want to drive your car in exchange for acting your date to Nana's birthday." she reminded him of their deal because she was feeling awkward with how Bobby kept on glancing at her. 
"Sweetheart, you are not acting. You are my date!" he chuckled, touching the strands of her hair that covered her eyes. 
Lili gasped inwardly with Bobby's statement. 'She is his date!' She couldn't stop hiding a grin as she kept on repeating the words on her head. She already told herself that she would not get involved with Bobby but the promise of driving his car once again won her over. 
Although, if she would be honest with herself, the selling point of agreeing with this deal was not the car but, the idea that she would experience what is like to be Bobby's date. How would it feel to be a woman standing next to this man. 
She won't tell him but she did a little 'looking' online about him. He's Wang Wei's friend, a schoolmate from Elementary up to High School. He is a year older than Wang Wei, and his mother died when he was eight years old. He only has his uncle as a living relative from his mother's side of the family. 
She also found out that he is well-known as a nouveau sculptor that depicts melancholy in his arts. He is a common face in the high society pages online and in magazines as one of the Top 100 China's most eligible bachelor. 
In those gossip columns, he always had a pretty girl hanging on his arm. Watching those always changing girls, she has the desire to know what it is like to hold Bobby's arm, to have her picture taken standing side by side with this man. It wasn't much of a wish, she thought. It was a harmless wish of a girl. The only big thing was, she is a nobody. Unlike those other girls.
"Then, I am your date." she grinned at him. "You are dashingly handsome. You ain't a bad choice for a date." 
Bobby cracked up with what she said. "I'm glad to be on par with your expectation of a date, sweetheart. I am honored," he said, bowing playfully as he opened the passenger door of the MacLaren for her.

Chapter 32
(Unedited)
…
It was a sensation…
The whole scene was like something that comes from a movie. Everyone online is talking about it online, and the news on TV could not stop reporting about it. The video that was taken at that time is all over the place; it even reached outside the country and became truly a sensational scene.
Ma Liling is known not only locally, but also on the international stage. She has acted on some movies which were shown worldwide and many critics like her acting.
Hence when people saw her fighting against a tall man and knocking that man easily in two blows and finishing him with a shoulder throw, it became unbelievable. These things, and along with her two new songs, made her listeners feel elated and ecstatic and added to her already rising fame.
Right now, instead of the bad scandal which was spread online, Ma Liling's name has become well-known to many women especially those that advocate women's rights. And many recording studios have already scrambled to get the chance to get the contract to those two songs that she sang that night.
The outside world was in turmoil buzzing about the name of Ma Liling which has now become more famous than she ever did before.
While this is happening, inside a small apartment, two people are cuddled together while sleeping soundly.
Yu Bai is hugging his fragrant wife in bed basking in her scent which he could not get over with. Though they did not do anything last night, he felt contented and seem to be hesitant to let go of her even though the sun is already rising.
Ma Mian on the side snuggled warmly in his hug. This is something that she likes about Yu Bai, his calming natural scent. Plus Yu Bai would always act gentlemanly even though she knew that he is trying to control himself down there.
The face of Ma Mian showed a tinge of red upon feeling that large bulging thing below. When she woke up, she has already felt it and it has already made her feel a bit hot all over.
Feeling the hug of the man becoming tighter and his breathing becoming faster and rougher, Ma Mian would not dare stay in this position any longer.
She suddenly stretches her arms which parted the strong arms of Yu Bai. She then slowly sits from the side of the bed, while stretching.
Her eyes immediately darted to the mirror on the side to check her makeup. Seeing that everything is in order, she slowly got hold of her glasses and puts them on.
She then walks out of the room and began cooking. Meanwhile, Yu Bai looks at his wife in a daze.
He could not deny that his wife truly has a good body figure and height to boot. From her bust size, slightly wide shoulders, thin waist, perfectly curved hips, beautifully shaped thighs, and perfectly formed legs. Everything for him seems really perfect.
As he lay there in a daze and imagining things he wanted to do with her this coming weekend, his nose was suddenly assaulted by the aroma of food.
Yu Bai slowly stood up and arranges the bed, then directly went to the bathroom. He walks out of the room already prepared to go to work when he spotted Ma Mian arranging the table.
Seeing the simple dish on the table a warm smile appears on his face.
"Bai, eat first, I'll get ready, let's go to work together, okay?" Ma Mian said with a sweet tone.
Yu Bai just nodded his head and slowly sits down at the dining table. He did not expect that Ma Mian knows how to cook. In fact, although the dishes on the table are simple, he could see that she put forth some effort into it.
He remembers her telling him last night about learning to cook.
"I guess this is the start?" he muttered as he happily eats his simple breakfast.
Not long later, Ma Mian has already worn a slightly baggy shirt and wide-leg denim jumper pants.
Yu Bai is already waiting for her on the side reading something on his phone. She then ate the remaining food on the table, then drags Yu Bai out of the small apartment.
Yu Bai dropped her off the front of her company as he also went to work.
Today, she is going to report to the makeup department of the ABC Entertainment Company. This is her true job specification in the company. But for some reason, she is seldom seen in this department as it is told that she would always be sent abroad following many of the models under their company as a makeup artist.
When Ma Mian's figure appears among the makeup artists in the waiting lounge, many did not recognize her. But since she is wearing the Ma Mian disguise, no one bothered with her simple and unattractive look and style of clothing.
Only a few people knew here and they are not present among those inside the lounge.
Ma Mian walks to a vacant seat on the side and waited for a job to be assigned to her.
She thought that she was inconspicuous, but it seems that someone discovered her presence. A woman suddenly approaches and then looks at her as if scrutinizing her from top to bottom. The woman then showed a slight frown then said.
"Who are you? How did you get inside this place?" she asked with an arrogant tone.
Her voice was not toned down, so everyone in the makeup artist's lounge heard her.
Many threw curious glances at the two and just watches for a show to happen. As part of the entertainment industry, many of these makeup artists like this kind of scene.
Ma Mian felt helpless at this woman. In fact, she did not know why this woman is picking a fight with her. She is already on the side and not bothering anyone, so how did she attract this woman's attention?
Ma Mian looks down and was about to take her ID, but then a Security Personnel suddenly walks inside the lounge.
When the woman saw this, she suddenly walks towards those people and pointed in Ma Mian's direction. She then told them that Ma Mian intruded the lounge.
When the two Security Personnel heard her, they immediately approached Ma Mian.
Sensing trouble, Ma Mian just heaves a sigh of helplessness. She didn't know why that woman is doing this and didn't know why she seems to have that hostile look in her eyes upon looking at her.
That look alone tells Ma Mian that this woman actually recognized who she is, and this made her feel a bit vigilant towards that woman.

Ma Mian is an ordinary woman with an ordinary dream... 
Yu Bai is an ordinary man with a dream to have a happy family.

"Beautiful women are scary..." commented Yu Bai once upon a time.

This is the story of a couple who decided to marry each other while hiding their true identities behind each other's back.
Will, they lived happily ever after, or will the truth about themselves that they are trying to hide from each other will ruin their married life?

Ugh... I think I may have overdone it... This dress is really hard to walk in. I said to myself as I tried to straighten up the skirt part of the dress... I don't know how people can even move on these dresses... it's so suffocating...

"Honestly... I'm surprised you are wearing that dress. You look fashionable for once in your life Grace." Sungah said behind me as she fixes my hair.

I stared at her through the mirror. "I don't even wear something this bumptious in the office... or in any of the business parties... ugh... This is a nightmare to walk in.." I moved a little however Sungah patted my back and told me not to move.

I sighed as I looked at my phone... I wonder how he is doing... Louie, that is.. I mean stalking him a little online wouldn't really mean bad right? I just want to see how he is doing... I convinced myself to take a look at his Facebook... as I scrolled down... hm...

I was greeted with a notice... he's kept his status private.. although his profile picture... him in a suit and tie... I... wow... he's pretty hot... NO! WHAT AM I THINKING...

"Looks who's drooling at Louie's handsomeness. You little naughty devil." I hear Sungah snickering behind me.

"Oh shut up!" I quickly close the app and hide my phone from her.

"Although I already checked all of Louie's social media accounts. If you were hoping to see a picture of his abs then you won't see it since all of his profiles are private...I don't know why though.. I mean he's hot why not show it off." Sungah said to me puzzled.

"Oh.. I wonder why his profiles were private ALSO NO. I'm NOT LOOKING FOR HIS ABS. I'm not a sexual deviant like you Sungah." I responded as I rolled my eyes on her.

"Anyways. Your hair is done." She said as she took something from her bag.

"Was there even a difference? Like what's the point of trying to fix my hair if it's just going to be messy when I get home." I said grumbling a little at Sungah's obsession to fix me up.

Yes... I know that it's okay to like fix yourself up during these events but I take just 5 minutes to dress up most of the time. We've been here for like an hour already and Sungah just got my hair done...

"You are like saying don't clean a house cause it's just going to get messy again." She giggled.

"I mean like a house is different... having it messy is like unhealthy. Bacteria and the spread of pathogen will increase and it will attract so many pests." I explained.

"Well, that's just like your hair. Gotta keep it styled to keep it beautiful. Hygiene and stuff. Now hold still." She puts my head in a fixed position keeping me in place. "I'm using a spell to put on the make-up since I'm pretty tired... Don't move so the magic can do it's work got it?" She got down and grabbed her make up supplies.

"No I mean like my hair is fine just being clean it doesn't need to be styled or be matching to my outfit or whatever.," I said as I looked at her, chanting something under her breath."

The makeup do-hickeys... Yes, I do not know any of those makeup things she uses since I never use one... like EVER. It started to glow and float towards me. I was surprised and shocked at first but I can hear Sungah saying "Don't move it might poke you in the eye or something. I don't want you to look like a total disaster when you come to the reunion." She said as she reassures me to stay still.

"Do I really need to wear makeup It's not like I'm trying to impress anyone or anything in the reunion... can I just be myself.." I objected to the idea of me using makeup.

"Nah. Girl! Your make up should match your outfit. So stay still while the magic happens. Now would you excuse me I'll also do my make up." She sat down on a chair and focused on the mirror as she does her lips.

Two more hours later and we are done... we were ready... Although it took very long I guess the make up she did or her magic did was okay... I'm not really aware of what's good nowadays... when it comes to beauty.

"Hey ladies! Are you guys done?" Greg opens the door to Sungah's makeup room. 

"Almost." I'm just fixing up my eyeliner and I should be done." I can see Sungah pitter-pattering on the mirror over there well I never really understand what she's doing.

"Oh wow! Grace.. you look gorgeous. I guess white and golden really fits you... You look very innocent." Greg smiled and complimented me.

"Thanks.. although I would have preferred normal casual clothing that takes me like 10 minutes to get ready on." I stared at Sungah hoping she would hear it.

"You really need to learn how to be more fashionable Grace. Also, beauty takes time.. you just have to patience." She said as she continued to fix her eyeliner in the mirror.

"Anyways.. Here Grace. I think you would like this. I went shopping and I'd like you to have this." 

I can see a pink gift box in front of me. "Aww, you shouldn't have although you could have just given me the thing instead of wrapping it in a box sure I guess." I opened the pink gift box to see cotton candy perfume! 

"Thank you I love it! I always love the smell of sweet things since my company is revolved around sweets." I sprayed myself a little with it as I smelt the cotton candy scent. It made me drift as I'd gone to heaven... this is so heavenly...

"Anyways I'm done. OH MY GOD. GRACE YOU ARE SO GORGEOUS." Sungah turns around as she accidentally drops her lipstick.

"You only just noticed?" I said sarcastically.

"No like not gonna lie you look pretty trashy when you dress as your usual self but holy crap. You are gonna be the belle of the ball tonight." She giggled. "Not going to lie I thought it would look ugly since I used magic on it. I haven't actually tried it before."

"WAIT SO YOU LET ME TEST THIS OUT AND THERE WAS A CHANCE IT MIGHT NOT WORK? YOU!" I yelled at her as Sungah as both of them laughed.

"Anyways let's go! We might be late!" 

We all grabbed our stuff and we all rode on my limousine to go to the reunion.. a little too fancy but I guess this is okay... Sungah only agreed to only come if we use them...

I walked out of the limousine as we all walked to my old school... I can feel so much nostalgia behind my back. I remember being late here before during the first orientation. 

"Guys come o-" 

I got caught on the corner of my dress.. as I fell someone caught me. 

"Are you alright." He said in a concerned voice. My eyes widen as I looked to see who this stranger was with the familiar deep voice... IT BETTER NOT BE HIM.

"Thank yo-" It was him... Tall, dark and handsome... LOUIE! HIM AGAIN! 

AM I LIVING IN SOME KIND OF FAIRY TALE FANTASY WHY DO I KEEP ENDING UP WITH HIM!

Grace knows she hates him and yet she still can't help falling in love with him. Not only is he, her high school crush, he is also her rival CEO. He was always the one that was able to beat her in things and was always the object of her envy. Unlike other girls, Grace values success and hard work rather than looks and other shallow features.

Although little did Grace know. Her wish to become her crush might come true once a little magic is involved in the equation. Who knows? Would this make them closer and henceforth fall in love or would this just ruin their already destroyed perception of one another...

"Do you want to know about the Zuo family's relation to the martial arts world?"
When she returned home, Su Cha saw Bo Muyi sitting there. He was in the study room. Seeing Su Cha return, he spoke slowly.
Su Cha was stunned. She recalled that she had just asked Tan Yeluo for help and narrowed her eyes. "Tan Yeluo told you?"
Is this traitor still the Vice Alliance Master of the Star Alliance?
Bo Muyi chuckled and waved at Su Cha. He could not help but dote on her. "If you want to know, just ask me. Why are you asking an outsider?"
"Tan Yeluo is the Vice Alliance Master of the Star Alliance. Since I'm the Alliance Master, I have to look for her."
Bo Muyi raised his eyebrows and thought about it. That made sense.
He hugged Su Cha and kissed her. He could not help but lower his voice when he saw the glow on the girl's face. "I will ask Bai Kun to organize the information for you. Cha Cha, we haven't had a good talk in a long time."
Look at his use of the art of speech!
Although Su Cha had indeed not been home after participating in the competition for so long, she could not help but say, "Haven't we been chatting well?"
Bo Muyi looked at Su Cha innocently. "I've only been chatting with you every day."
As he spoke, his scorching palm reached towards Su Cha's waist.
It seemed that she would not have dinner tonight.
***
When she rejoined the production crew, the arrangements were almost done. Su Cha began to officially act in the role of Empress Dowager Yu Wan.
She had become the second female lead. Although there was a lot of criticism online, Su Cha seemed to be unaffected by it. Mu Jiao and Shao Tianwen paid more attention to her.
She was not overbearing, but her aura was intimidating. Even the second male lead, Nie Cha, was shocked when he found out that Su Cha had become the second female lead.
Although Jin Jiayu was not well-liked, now that Su Cha had taken over, everyone in the production crew was speculating privately. They could not help but engage in some gossip and doubt the truth.
Today was the official shoot of Su Cha as the Empress Dowager and the first audition.
The makeup artist in the production crew was putting on makeup for her while Su Cha was silently memorizing Yu Wan's lines.
Yu Wan was the second female lead. She had a lot of lines and scenes. It was not something a minor character like Chao Yun could compare with. Su Cha had also gotten this new role at the last minute, so she had little time to memorize many scenes.
She had already changed into the Empress Dowager's costume with her eyes closed. The makeup artist and stylist had been tormenting her for a few hours. When Su Cha had memorized most of the lines, she heard the makeup artist say in surprise, "Done!"
Su Cha opened her eyes and saw herself in the mirror.
In a trance, she felt like she had returned to her previous life.
She was the one who held all the power and influence.
The production crew had put in some effort to hire a few historical consultants who were knowledgeable about Yun Tang. The resulting makeup and styling were really charming.
But what was surprising was her face.
It was exquisite and gorgeous, but it was not tacky or gaudy. Her originally cold and pure face, when coupled with her gorgeous makeup, appeared to be dazzling, completely blooming with the peerless elegance that she should have.
Her long and slender eyebrows were gently raised and she looked graceful. It made people nervous and terrified.
The real mother of the world was still in control of the imperial power.


The famous actress Su Cha was involved in a scandal! The leaked video had left the fans flabbergasted. 
Fans, "They look so cute together! Her boyfriend looks like an adorable puppy!"
However, the public, who had witnessed his muscular physique in the video clip, had a different opinion. 
"How is he a f*cking puppy! He's more like a ferocious hound!"
In Su Cha's eyes, Bo Muyi was a lovable man who was always demanding kisses and hugs. 
In the public's eyes, Bo Muyi was merely a loathsome and overbearing tyrant. 
Before her rebirth, the naive and innocent Su Cha departed that life in sorrow. 
After her rebirth, Su Cha turned into an absurdly talented, but violent and deviant woman. 
Not only that, she mollycoddled her husband dearly! 
(This is a story of a brutal and aberrant heroine who met a ruthless yet overly-affectionate hero.)
Side note: This is a story of the heroine's three, but not one, lifetimes.

Due to Li Xing'er's online harassment, the promotion of Sleepless had to start early.
Gu Weiwei and Song Yu, as well as the supporting actress Qiu Ling, were invited to attend an interview at the capital TV Station.
The host was both professional and humorous, and Song Yu and Qiu Ling cooperated well with the promotion, so the interview went very smoothly.
Song Yu and Qiu Ling left after the filming.
Gu Weiwei answered a call and went to the makeup room to remove her makeup and get changed.
She had just gotten changed, when she saw Li Xing'er standing outside of her makeup room.
"Weiwei, can we talk for a while?"
Gu Weiwei looked at her for a few seconds. "Sure, come in."
They truly had nothing to talk about, but it was not a good thing for her to refuse Li Xing'er, after she had come to her at this critical moment.
In order to thank her for helping them with the promotional event, she forced herself to talk with her.
Li Xing'er threw a look at Xu and Lei Ning who were still in the makeup room.
"I mean, let's talk alone."
Sitting in front of the mirror, Gu Weiwei said, as she removed her makeup, "Xu, Lei Ning, wait for me outside."
Xu and Lei Ning exchanged a look and left with the makeup artist to wait outside.
Gu Weiwei removed her eye shadow, checked het phone and put it back on the table.
"If you have something to say, just say it. I have something to do."
"It's nothing really, it's just… we are sisters. You haven't been home for so long, and Dad and Grandma mentioned you a few days ago."
"Sisters?" Gu Weiwei laughed coldly and said, "Didn't you say that you are Li Jiacheng's daughter? What kind of sister are you to me?"
"Your surname may be Mu, but we both share the Li Family's blood. I am older than you by a few months, am I not your sister?" Li Xing'er chuckled behind her back.
Gu Weiwei snorted. "So you are saying that the Li Family cheated Zhou Meiqin?"
"Why would I not dare to admit it? I am the real lady of the Li Family." Li Xing'er said.
Gu Weiwei removed the rest of her makeup, stood up and faced the woman standing behind her.
"Have you forgotten that Longsheng is my grandfather? That Mu Longsheng's Longsheng Enterprise and the house you live in is also the Mu Family's old mansion? So you are the owner of the mansion?"
"Even if it belongs to the Mu Family, can you take it back now?" Li Xing'er sneered and said, "I thought that you would die with your mother in the car accident, but you survived."
Gu Weiwei smiled. "Did you and your mother do it on purpose?"
"Not on purpose. We just chose not to ask the driver to drive a different car, instead of the one that had tampered brakes…" Li Xing'er sneered.
Gu Weiwei grabbed Li Xing'er's collar and slapped her hard across the face.
"You are a cruel family! The Mu Family supported Zhou Meiqin and sent her to school, she studied abroad and we even gave her a job. But in the end, she stole my mother's husband, my mother's family business and even tried to kill my mother and I…"
Li Xing'er's lips started to bleed. She tried to push her away but was slapped several times.
Seeing the scene, the staff from the TV Station rushed into the room and pulled them away. Li Xing'er's face was already swollen and her mouth was full of blood.
"Mu Weiwei, you are too much! You should talk nicely with her instead of hitting her so hard!" Li Xing'er's agent rushed in and furiously said, as she helped her up.
Gu Weiwei wiped her hands with a napkin as if she had dirtied them.
"She asked for it herself, am I to blame?"


Gu Weiwei, the adopted daughter of the most wealthy and powerful Gu Family in A Land, is seriously injured during an attack. Her best friend, Ling Yan, who has been suffering from a heart disease, takes this opportunity to kill Gu Weiwei and snatches her heart for her own transplant surgery.
 Unexpectedly, however, Gu Weiwei is reborn and became Mu Weiwei, the adopted daughter of the most wealthy and powerful Fu Family in Hua Land and somehow ends up having a one-night-stand with the heir Fu Hanzheng. 
From that night on, strange things start to happen. Firstly, Fu Hanzheng, who has no interest in any women, especially not in the noisy young Mu Weiwei, suddenly falls for Mu Weiwei—who now has Gu Weiwei’s soul inside. 
Gu Weiwei decides to take this second chance of life as a precious opportunity to take revenge for both Mu Weiwei and for herself. 
Subsequently, Gu Weiwei uses her own talents and skills and becomes the most popular and beloved movie star in the entire world using Mu Weiwei’s body and successfully crushes all her enemies. 
Meanwhile, she gradually develops a lovely relationship with Fu Hanzheng, who is deeply devoted to her and only her.

Ning Xi was going to shoot in a dance scene today, so her costume would be lighter than the palace costume from yesterday, which was a relief.
When she entered the dressing room, she was surprised to see Jia Qingqing.
She had thought Jia Qingqing would no longer be coming.
Jia Qingqing had failed the audition for the second female lead, but the director had invited her to play the third female lead Princess Xian.
While the third female lead would also bring disaster to the country, it was a smaller role than Ning Xi’s. Furthermore, she would be tortured terribly by Ning Xi in the movie.
Although her manager had accepted the invitation on Jia Qingqing’s behalf, she was very unsatisfied and had not attended the opening ceremony. It had even been rumored that she would refuse the role.
Ning Xi guessed that she had come obediently after hearing that the movie had received a large additional investment.
It was a huge project of one hundred million after all.
Jia Qingqing was getting her makeup done when she saw Ning Xi in the mirror. She stared at her with cold contempt and undisguised hatred.
Like Ning Xueluo, she had a rich father, so she always behaved arrogantly and was unpopular on set. But her water army[1] was very skilled and had remade her image into an outspoken and straightforward person. They even gave her the title of No. 1 Beauty in the entertainment industry.
So of course she deeply hated Ning Xi, who had robbed both her role and fame.
"Hm, isn’t this our No. 1 Beauty in the entertainment industry? With so many rich sponsors supporting you, you still hang out in the dressing room with small fry like us?" Jia Qingqing sneered.
Ning Xi leisurely found a chair to sit on and began to read her script, completely unaffected.
She was the type of person who would wholeheartedly focus on work as soon as she arrived on set, and wouldn’t be affected by anything or anyone.
"Ning Xi, are you ignoring me?" Jia Qingqing dropped her comb with a clatter.
Ning Xi continued reading her script as if she hadn’t heard.
At that moment, the makeup artist next to her couldn’t hold it in any longer, and coughed. "Ning Xi is wearing earphones, so she may not have heard you!"
Only then did Jia Qingqing see the two little white earbuds in Ning Xi’s ears. She felt like she had just been punching cotton[2].
B****! Who knew whether she was doing it on purpose?!
Of course Ning Xi was doing it on purpose.
The moment she saw Jia Qingqing, she had taken out her earphones and put them in so that she could pretend she couldn’t hear her.
Because in this case, no matter who was right or wrong, as long as there was conflict, it wouldn’t be good for her. It was better to just avoid trouble altogether!
"Miss Jia, it’s done. Are you happy with it?" The makeup artist spoke cautiously, obviously aware that she was dealing with a difficult client.
"No! Do it again!" Jia Qingqing said without even one look.
"Which part are you dissatisfied with?" The makeup artist asked.
"Everything!"
The makeup artist’s face was stiff with anger, but she could only remove the makeup and start again.
Seeing how Ning Xi completely ignored her, Jia Qingqing became angrier, and continued to find fault with everything the makeup artist did.
The makeup artist dared not show her attitude, so she could only glare resentfully at Ning Xi sitting in the corner.
She also knew that Jia Qingqing’s aim was Ning Xi and she had just been dragged into it.
Apart from the male lead and female lead who had their own dressing rooms, everyone else shared one room, so if Jia Qingqing wasn’t finished with her makeup, Ning Xi would have to wait interminably.
At last, it was only when Jia Qingqing’s manager came in to get her that she left reluctantly, not forgetting to throw Ning Xi another angry glare as she did.
[1] Literal translation of 水军, which is Internet slang for individuals or groups who are paid to post online comments to help shape or sway public opinion on an issue.
[2] In this context, ‘to punch cotton’ is to do something that is a useless gesture, i.e. doesn’t have any real effect.


After five years, Ning Xi returned to the place that had pushed her away — home. With a sister who turned her parents against her and made her childhood sweetheart betray her, the odds seemed grey.
However, five years abroad had changed her, and she came home to fulfil her childhood dream of becoming an actress. Despite her evil sister still out to get her, tables will be turned. 
One day, after falling into one of her sister's schemes, she saves an adorable kid and found herself staying at his house to help him come out of his shell. Slowly, his father Lu Tingxiao began falling for her. This was before they realised how their lives had been intertwined all this while without their knowledge.

*bzzt* *bzzt* *bzzt*

My phone starts to vibrate as my alarm goes off in the morning. The soft morning light filtering through my bedroom window. I slowly wake up and reach for my phone under my pillow and turn off the alarm.

As I get up and stretch my body still a little tired from waking up. I look at the time on my phone only to be confused as to why it's 7 am, much earlier than I usually get up. As if to answer my question a reminder goes off on my phone.

Reminder: Ingenuity Online release today.

It took me a second to process the reminder, but as it sank in I was ecstatic. Today was the release date of the most awaited immersive VR game in history, Ingenuity Online.

I rush out of bed and grab a pair of jeans and then a blue blouse out of my closet. Thankfully I had the foresight braid my hair last night to minimize prep time in the morning. I undo the braid and let my wavy snow white hair cascade down my shoulders. As I look in the mirror I see pale but delicate skin, pink lips, and a pair of stunning amethyst colored eyes (purple). The only makeup I decide to apply today is a tube of black lipstick and some mascara.

I go to the kitchen of my two bedroom apartment and reminisced on how I got here as I made breakfast. When I was seventeen a friend said that since I was good at seeing patterns, and that I should look into trying penny stocks. So I learned how to analyze penny stocks and earned $10,000 by the time I graduated high school. So a few months latter I found this apartment and have lived there ever since. Soon after I purchased a VR game cabin and had it installed in the second room, because I have always loved video games.

At 7:30 I finished up my breakfast and cleaning up. I went out to my car and triple clicked the lock to remote start my BMW 8 series Coup. I get in the car and drive to the nearest game shop to pick up my preorder copy for Ingenuity Online.

As I get out of my car I start hearing catcalls all around me, to which I rolled my eyes and kept going. I walk up to the entrance and wait for the shop to open.

A little before the shop opens a bulky guy, about half a foot taller than me at 5'9", walks over to me with an unveiled look of lust in his eyes.

"A small girl like you shouldn't be..."

Before he could even finish speaking I grabbed his arm, twisted it, kicked the back of his knee and pushed him face first into the ground.

"Don't worry jack ass, I can take care of myself," not veiling the disgust in my voice for a second.

As all this happened the game shop employee came and unlocked the store. As soon as the store opened I walked in to avoid further conflict. I walk around the shop as I wait for the register to get ready.

"Morning Winter, I'm ready for you over here."

"Hey John, sucks that you have to work today right?"

"It really does, I'm gonna have to set up really quick to start as soon as servers go up for Ingenuity, you here to pick that up?"

I confirmed and scanned my thumb chip. After the facial recognition the game was sent directly to my game cabin and started to download. With a dazzling smile I said bye to John wishing him luck for when he started the game.

I look out the glass doors of the shop to make sure jack ass and his friends were gone, thankfully they were. No matter how skilled I am it's only possible to take on that many people alone in a game. So I head back to my Coup and go back to my apartment.

It's 8:30 by the time I reach home and since I have a while before the download I go to my computer. I've always loved playing those retro games from the early 2010's. I play until the my phone tells me the download is complete and quickly found a save point.

I get comfortable and change into some sweats, before I get into the game cabin. I go and check the nutrient solutions to make sure it's full. After all this is done I jump into the cabin and close it over top of me.

-"Welcome Winter Jenson, what game would you like to start?"

"Start Ingenuity Online"

-Ding "Only character creation is available right now, servers come online at UTC - 5:00. Would player like to continue and start character creation?"

"Start Ingenuity Online."

"Booting creation server... Ding, Welcome to Ingenuity Online."

In 2083 a revolutionary VR game was released to the world. The game allowed players to create their own skills making a unique class to themselves. The game was called Ingenuity Online and encouraged ingenuity and innovative character creation. Winter Jenson has always loved VR games and played them most her life. With the announcement and release of the game she prepares the become the best in the game as Tess Cryo.
