Reborn to Reap

Qiao Yu woke to sunlight spilling soft and bright across her small frame. She gasped, sitting up fast, hands flying to pat her arms, chest, and face — no cold hospital straps, no sharp needles, no biting pain. She was whole. She was really alive.

A wild, breathless laugh bubbled up her throat, then sharpened into something cold and bright. “I’m back. And no one who ever hurt me will live to tell the tale. Hehehe… I was betrayed once. Now you’ll all taste your own poison.”

Her smile turned sharp as broken glass. “I’ll make you cough up every drop of blood you took from me, dig your own graves — and make that white‑lotus b*tch wear a green hat that never fades.” She leaned forward, voice thick with venom: “Your little connections mean nothing. One right man is all I need to burn you all to ash. Steal him from me? That’s not theft — that’s signing your death warrant. I’ll send you straight to Meng Po’s table… and you won’t even get a sip of her soup.”

“System?” she called out softly. “What exactly do these points do?”

[Green Lotus System Online. Host: Qiao Yu. Base Stats: 0. Green Tea Points: 0. Points unlock exclusive skills, perks, and resources for your goals.]

“Perfect,” she grinned. “Then I’ll make my revenge the most magnificent, glorious thing you’ve ever seen.” She tapped her phone awake — the date glowed clear: 2007. “I’m only twenty this year. I’ve got all the time in the world.”

Her eyes hardened. “Starting with Qiao Ru… and that eldest brother of mine? I’d rather have a pig for a brother.” She stood slowly, facing the mirror, lifting her chin high. “No one will ever bully me again. I’ll become untouchable.” A wicked smile curved her lips. “Revenge, after all, is best served cold. Hehehe… mess with this auntie, and I’ll make your lives miserable.”

A sudden thought popped into her head. “System — since I’m a total newbie, where’s my starter perk? Like the ability to cry on cue, or speak with perfect, cutting eloquence?”

[All rewards must be earned, Host.]

She clicked her tongue. “Wait — don’t all system novels give newbies gifts? I read Transmigrated with a Ghost System! They hand out everything right away! Are you really that stingy? Have pity on your poor, hard‑done‑by master!”

[System: …]

Her tone flipped instantly, sweet as sugar: “System… I love you to the moon and stars, I swear! The whole sky is my witness — be a dear and give me just one tiny perk?”

[System: You are absolutely shameless. But… Newbie Pack Unlocked.]

She leaned in, eyes sparkling. “What do I get? Infinite wealth? Maxed charm? A line of handsome male models? Or something even more spectacular?”

[System: No. Your Newbie Pack contains: Beginner Acting Skill, and 30 Fate Points.]

She huffed, crossing her arms. “You are such a stingy thing! Can’t you spoil your master just a little?”

[System: The more Green Tea Points you collect, the better rewards you will receive.]
