The parents she adored belonged to someone else, and this series of knockdowns was hard for a seventeen-year-old girl to accept. She wailed like a child for the sake of proving this was all a lie. The vicious words she spouted had hurt her biological family but she didn’t notice. She thought the Tan family was her real family despite them seeing her as an eyesore, and was even naive enough to want to befriend the Tan family’s real daughter, Tan Jing. Alas, the latter drugged her drink and arrange for a thug to rape her. Tan Jing even brought their classmates along to catch them in the act so Tan Rou was now tainted for life. After being reborn, she looked down at the man she was stepping on. Tan Rou swore not to be a useless wretch in this life or be bullied to death.

Tan Rou scoffed upon hearing this. She held back her brother from trying to stand up for her. “We have all the time in the world. Let’s just wait and see.” Just as everyone was waiting for Tan Rou to make a fool of herself… A top-class perfumer, a top scholar, a world champion… The fake young lady’s multiple identities kept getting exposed one after another, bumping her up to number one on the trending search, shocking the world.

Ling Xi only patted his shoulder before he fainted and fell to the ground. The bodyguard immediately detained him. "I'm sorry, I…" Ling Xi apologized after she woke up. "Get out!" The man had a terrible headache. Ling Xi: Alright, who asked her to knock him out? * Later. "Xixi, I miss you." "We've only been apart for three hours," Ling Xi looked at her watch helplessly. "It's 3 hours, 46 minutes, and 38 seconds." The bodyguards looked at each other,"So Second Master is a clingy person!" #Soft and gentle female protagonist vs beautiful and strong male protagonist # * Reading tips: 1.

The mysterious boyfriend who had been speculated about thousands of times was exposed at a banquet. In the photo, Ling Chuwan was pressed against the car door and kissed by the business tycoon Bo Tingchen, who was good at both black and white. Rumors spread everywhere.
