Ye Qiu, now in the body of a cannon fodder character, learns about her new family's predetermined tragic fate within a novel. Her father will be tempted by his first love, her mother will descend into depression, and her brother will be infatuated with the daughter of the first love. This manipulation is revealed to be a mystical technique used by the mother-daughter pair to drain the Ye family's fortune and luck. Armed with new skills, Ye Qiu resolves to protect her family and seeks out Cheng Yixue, the daughter of the antagonist.

"Ye Qiu, today’s milk tea is on me. What would you like to drink?" Cheng Yixue asked, sounding almost like she was trying to please.

"A glass of lemon water."

"Just that? Aren’t you going to try the new unique drink here?"

"Just that, not changing."

Just that then, Cheng Yixue didn’t ask further, thinking she saved some money!

After the icy drinks, they headed straight to the jewelry section, mainly because when they arranged to meet two days ago, Ye Qiu said she didn’t want to wear her old bracelets anymore, just in time to change a couple with summer coming.

"Are these two from the same series?" Cheng Yixue pointed at two platinum bracelets set with small diamonds with her eyes lighting up, "They look beautiful!"

Noticing Ye Qiu’s extraordinary taste in fashion, the salesperson warmly introduced them, "The young lady has a keen eye, these are our store’s new arrivals, designed by the same designer, you can wear them as best friend bracelets. Let me take them out for you to try."

"Awesome." Cheng Yixue happily turned to Ye Qiu, "Ye Qiu, which one do you like? I’ll gift it to you, then you give me the other one, okay? This way, everyone will know we’re best friends when we go out."

Ye Qiu instinctively felt uncomfortable, then shook her head, "I don’t want to wear the same bracelet every day."

Cheng Yixue conceded a step, "I didn’t say every day, just saying it’s a symbol of our friendship."

"Forget it, I don’t like these formal things, and these diamonds are too small, let’s look at others."

"Ye Qiu..." Cheng Yixue hung her head, seemingly very aggrieved, "Do you look down on me? I can’t afford such expensive ones."

Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow, looking surprised at her, "I didn’t say you had to gift it to me, the reason I came today was to buy my own."

"But I really want a bracelet from you, yet I can’t accept your gift without a reason." She said softly.

Ye Qiu squinted her eyes, Cheng Yixue didn’t seem right today, why was she so insistent on receiving a bracelet from me? Could this be related to her secret technique?

Wanting me to gift her something, I just won’t!

"Didn’t you say before you don’t like these things? Mentioned you don’t want vanity, or have you changed after being friends with me for so long?" Ye Qiu directly pinned a label on Cheng Yixue, making Cheng Yixue uncomfortable all over. She felt irritated, wasn’t Ye Qiu the most generous usually? Why wasn’t it working today? Saying it made it seem like she was being friends with Ye Qiu just for money, how does she keep her dignity?

"Ye Qiu, how can you misunderstand me like this? I genuinely want to be friends with you." Cheng Yixue’s eyes turned red, hurriedly explaining.

"Yixue?" A male voice floated over, then quickly stood beside Cheng Yixue looking angrily at Ye Qiu, "Did you bully Yixue?"

"Are you out of your mind?" Ye Qiu coldly looked at him, "Which eye of yours saw me bullying her?"

"If you didn’t bully her, why are Yixue’s eyes red?" The boy said, filled with righteous indignation,

"Then you should ask her yourself." Ye Qiu folded her arms, waiting for Cheng Yixue’s explanation.

The boy’s name was Liang Yu, he was their class monitor, ever since Cheng Yixue frequently came to audit their specialized classes, he had been looking after her. Everyone in the class knew his feelings for Cheng Yixue, though the amusing part was Cheng Yixue neither agreed nor refused, just keeping things hanging.

Previously, the original owner couldn’t figure out why Cheng Yixue had such patience with the plain-looking Liang Yu, now Ye Qiu seemed to have some understanding.

Cheng Yixue came to audit for barely two months, her grades went from not understanding to being highly liked by professors, even considering her for a major change, while Liang Yu, whose professional grades were constantly in the top three of the year, kept dropping. Could this be another method of Cheng Yixue?

Thinking about it, it’s indeed a bit scary, can Cheng Yixue snatch away others’ strengths as well? Then wouldn’t everyone around her be unlucky?

On second thought, in the previous life, even her family ended up miserable, plus several of her admirer male supporting roles didn’t have a good ending either, the only one not affected until the original owner’s death was Cheng Yixue’s male lead husband.

Cheng Yixue transferred the good fortune of those around her onto herself, will she really not face backlash?

Defying fate isn’t a joke, and doing it so blatantly, is there not a single person in this mystical world to punish her?

"Liang Yu, Ye Qiu didn’t bully me, you really misunderstood." Cheng Yixue inwardly cursed Liang Yu for coming at the wrong time, what if my purpose isn’t reached and Ye Qiu gets angry and leaves?

"Really? You’re not lying to me?" Liang Yu still looked suspiciously at Ye Qiu, as long as Cheng Yixue’s there, Ye Qiu wouldn’t be a good person.

"No, class monitor, if you have things to do, you should go first, Ye Qiu and I still want to shop." Cheng Yixue urged.

"I have no plans today, how about I join you? Do you like this bracelet? I’ll gift it to you, salesperson please help me wrap up both."

Liang Yu’s family conditions weren’t as good as the Ye Family, but they were fine, especially with his previously outstanding professional grades, he had won quite a few scholarships, so two bracelets were naturally no problem.

He thought he was very generous, little did he know the disgust in Cheng Yixue’s eyes was about to overflow.

"No need, class monitor, what’s the meaning of you gifting me? This is what Ye Qiu and I liked, if you gift it, I won’t want it." Cheng Yixue said petulantly.

"Isn’t it nice? Since you like it and class monitor likes to gift, everyone’s happy, I’ll go look at others." After Ye Qiu finished speaking, she signaled the salesperson to continue wrapping. That salesperson was quite smart too, really working hard for commissions, quickly wrapped up and invited Liang Yu to checkout.

Liang Yu was now in a dilemma, embarrassed whether he went or not.

"Class monitor, you don’t need to hesitate, just now Yixue told me she truly liked these two styles!" Ye Qiu continued adding fuel.

Liang Yu gritted his teeth and bought, thinking that even if Cheng Yixue doesn’t accept now, he would definitely find another reason to gift later, in case Yixue’s favored bracelet gets bought by someone else?

Cheng Yixue felt the development of events had somewhat slipped out of her control, feeling annoyed yet helpless.

"Ye Qiu, I’ll accompany you to look at others." She no longer paid attention to Liang Yu.

Liang Yu opened his mouth wanting to say something but had no words, silently carrying the bag with the bracelets following behind the two.

Then the more she looked, the more upset she got, things Cheng Yixue said looked nice, Ye Qiu said she didn’t like, wandering around for so long, nothing bought in the end.

He thought Ye Qiu was truly bullying, friends like Yixue with such a person were truly aggrieved.

"How about we go for a claw machine game, it’s been a long time since we played." Cheng Yixue again suggested.

This time Ye Qiu didn’t refuse, but don’t think Cheng Yixue could get her way like this.
