God was terrified!

As expected of a Mary Sue/pure white lotus, this saintly halo is too awesome.

That voice is so cheesy, it's really disgusting. I'd better run away quickly!

If she stays any longer, she might throw up!

Jing Li shuddered and quickly went into the bathroom to take a shower.

Ten minutes later, she silently looked at herself in the bathroom mirror, feeling both surprised and suspicious.

The book doesn't describe the original owner's appearance in detail; she's always just a foil to the female lead, Cui Xueling.

But the girl in the mirror looked exactly like herself when she was 18 years old – it was so bizarre.

Unlike Cui Xueling's pure and innocent appearance, she has a more alluring and sexy look, with black hair, a fair complexion, phoenix eyes with slightly upturned corners, a small black beauty mark under the corner of her eye, and pale, thin peach-colored lips. When she doesn't smile, she looks like a charming and cold beauty, but when she smiles, she looks very sweet because of the dimples at the corners of her mouth.

She has a full bust, a slender waist, long, beautiful legs, and a rare, cool white complexion.

Unfortunately, her once fair skin is now covered with embarrassing marks that make one blush; there is hardly a spot that is unblemished.

"Are you born in the Year of the Dog?! How long has it been since you've eaten meat...?"

With a slight pout, Jing Li muttered.

"Ah Li, who are you talking to?"

Cui Xueling's voice rang out from outside the bathroom.

"nothing……"

Jing Li answered calmly, wrapped a bath towel around herself, and walked out of the bathroom.

Looking at the mottled marks on her body, Cui Xueling's eyes instantly welled up with tears, and she spoke with self-reproach.

"Are you... are you alright...? How could this happen...? I... I didn't expect them to be so ruthless..."

"Are you blind? After seeing what happened yesterday, you should know that I couldn't have gotten away so easily, right?"

Unable to bear interrupting her clumsy acting, Jing Li rolled her eyes.

Surprise filled Cui Xueling's innocent face; she clearly hadn't expected that her former follower, who had always stammered and fawned over her, would actually mock her.

"If there's nothing else, please leave. I need to change my clothes."

With a furrowed brow, Jing Li dismissed the guest.

She felt disgusted to spend even a second longer with such a hypocritical woman.

Now she knows how to say nice things. Why didn't she speak up to stop Xiao Qi when he gave the order before?

She could have been safely rescued if she had just spoken up.

Clearly, this woman is no pushover either.

"Are you... blaming me... Ah Li!"

With her eyes slightly red, Cui Xueling asked in a choked voice, her swaying appearance making it seem as if Jing Li had bullied her.

"Yes, I blame you, so are you planning to apologize?"

Raising an eyebrow slightly, Jing Li revealed a malicious smile and asked in return.

Cui Xueling stood there, her face flushing red and then turning pale. It was just a matter of saying sorry, but she was unwilling to say it.

How could she possibly bring herself to say that?

She, who has always been pampered by everyone, would never apologize to a lowly and insignificant ant!

Jing Li, who had long seen through her hypocrisy, smiled sarcastically, "Since you're not going to apologize, then you'd better get lost and not waste my time."

"Don't be like that, best friends don't hold grudges overnight, I'm sorry! By the way... you said yesterday... you know Actor Fei?"

Choking back tears, Cui Xueling instinctively reached for Jing Li's hand, but her movement froze in mid-air after receiving Jing Li's sharp gaze.

So, she came specifically to find her, and even apologized for the first time ever, just to dig up information about Fei Mo?

Jing Li didn't finish reading the original novel; she only read half of it before she died. The part she read didn't explain why the little princess Cui Xueling entered the entertainment industry.

She only said it was to get closer to her idol, Fei Mo?!
