Having experienced her parents' divorce and moved with her mother, Shi Jing didn't know how to comfort her mother, who was always depressed and in tears. She was also eager to start school.

Just thinking about the mess the original owner had made at school gave her a headache.

The first day of school reopening, it was already March.

As soon as Shi Jing arrived at the gate of Tianyuan City Private Middle School, she was surrounded by students who were also on their way to school. As a "celebrity" on campus, Shi Jing attracted a lot of attention. When these people saw her, they would secretly look at her and point at her, as if she were some kind of strange creature.

She could only endure the discomfort and grit her teeth to walk into the campus.

In her past life, Shi Jing had no worries about food or clothing and had no family to restrain her. Except for occasionally going out to find food, she almost always stayed at home. She wasn't socially anxious, but the life of staying at home was addictive. She hadn't communicated with anyone for a long time, let alone being the focus of so many people's attention. She felt numb all over.

But thinking of her meager savings, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and go to school. She still wanted to get the 500,000 yuan reward from the system to alleviate her poverty.

"Keep going, Shi Jing, you can do it!" she encouraged as she walked forward, ignoring the stares of the crowd.

Shi Jing walked for a while on campus when she heard a sharp female voice: "Oh, isn't this Miss Shi who's been so determined to confess her love? What? Has the underworld rejected you?"

Shi Jing looked up and saw three girls in school uniforms walking towards them. The one who spoke was standing in the middle, with long, straight black hair, clearly the leader of the three. The two girls beside her had a chestnut brown bob and a very short buzz cut.

Although all three were wearing school uniforms, their styles were quite different. Their uniforms were covered with graffiti, and they wore heavy makeup and eyeshadow, making them look like non-mainstream delinquent girls.

Shi Jing quickly retrieved the information about the three people from the original owner's memories. It turned out that the long-haired girl was someone who, like the original owner, had a crush on the school heartthrob, and the other two were her followers. However, unlike the original owner's flamboyant and unrestrained nature, these three were the type who were arrogant and domineering in private, but turned into little lambs in front of the school heartthrob.

Although Shi Jing didn't like socializing, she wasn't one to suffer injustice or be wronged. She immediately retorted without hesitation, "What, are you jealous that I had the guts to confess?"

Although the original owner was a bit relentlessly pursuing the school heartthrob, she hadn't actually done anything truly heinous. The most outrageous thing she did was attempt suicide for love. Why should these people have the right to mock her, especially since she had already paid the ultimate price for it?

The long-haired girl gritted her teeth in resentment, her eyes revealing unwillingness and jealousy, but she still stubbornly said, "What's the use of you confessing again? Jiang Lin doesn't like you."

The original owner's relentless pursuit of the school heartthrob made her famous throughout the school, and many people disliked her, perhaps out of envy and jealousy. The original owner had the confidence to act recklessly, but these people didn't necessarily. Over time, she became a thorn in their side.

"Ha, yes, he doesn't like me," Shi Jing sneered. "But so what? At least Jiang Lin knows I like him. Does he know you?"

She looked at the long-haired girl with disdain: "Lin Lu, stop being so self-satisfied. You secretly like Jiang Lin, but has he even remembered you?"

"You! Do you think everyone is as shameless as you?"

"Oh, you must have traveled from the Qing Dynasty and gotten cerebellum. What era are we living in? Just because I like a handsome guy doesn't mean I'm shameless." Shi Jing didn't care about her sarcasm. During the years she stayed at home, she changed her online "husband" one after another. Jiang Lin was just a nobody.

Lin Lu was furious. The girl with the chestnut-brown bob next to her was also indignant. But this girl was interesting; she always followed Lin Lu around, secretly making small moves. Lin Lu was practically ready to punch her.

"Tsk, you're getting angry now, aren't you!" Shi Jing clicked his tongue lightly, then took off running.

She would be crazy to fight with the three of them in front of everyone at school.

"Teacher, help! Lin Lu and the others have gone crazy and are going to hit us!"

Lin Lu chased after him, furious: "Shi Jing, have you no shame? What kind of skill is it to tell the teacher!"

"Do you think I'm stupid? I'd be at a huge disadvantage if I got a demerit for fighting with you! Hehehe..."

The system, which had been silently observing, couldn't help but complain: "Host, you're making it easier for you to get beaten up like this."

"Go ahead and beat me up. If I can't beat you, I can't just run away, can't I?"

"..." The system remained silent for a long time before finally speaking: "What if we can't escape?"

"Tsk, that's a problem. Looks like I'll have to practice running from now on."

"..."

After exchanging a few casual words with the system, she rushed into the teaching building where the original owner of the body was located. It was close to morning reading time, and teachers were already walking around in the corridors. Lin Lu then calmed down a bit.

Shi Jing and Lin Lu were not in the same class, and Lin Lu probably wouldn't dare to barge into their class, so she swaggered into her own class.

As soon as Jing entered the classroom, she felt the atmosphere inside tighten, and the noisy classroom immediately quieted down.

The students immediately turned to look at the boy sitting in the second-to-last row. The boy was slender with handsome features, and his simple school uniform made him look like a jade statue. He truly deserved the title of school heartthrob.

Upon seeing her, the boy's previously laughing face instantly turned icy, revealing his extreme impatience with her.

The seat next to the boy, which the original owner had forcibly obtained, is now occupied, leaving only an empty desk standing alone in the corner of the classroom.

The seat that originally belonged to the owner was occupied by a tall, muscular boy with acne on his face. When he saw Shi Jing looking at him, he stiffened and then said, "The homeroom teacher rearranged the seats. Your seat is over there."

The boy with acne pointed to the only empty spot.

Upon hearing this, Shi Jing immediately lifted his leg and walked towards his current seat amidst the surprised gazes of everyone.

She placed her backpack on the table and looked around. Her classmates were all quietly peeking at her. Most of them disliked her but dared not provoke her.

The original owner was always high-profile and didn't get along with her classmates. Her suicide attempt for love was a huge scandal, so it's no wonder that the students in the class all wanted to stay away from her.

After thinking for a moment, she pulled out her seat, stuffed her schoolbag into the desk drawer, and then walked directly to the podium.

"Everyone." She cleared her throat, and the students below the podium couldn't help but look at her, wondering what kind of trouble she was going to cause. Seeing that everyone's attention had turned to her, Shi Jing continued, "What happened before was my fault. Hereby, I solemnly apologize to everyone and declare: I no longer like Jiang Lin, and I will not pursue him or bother him in the future. Please rest assured, Jiang Lin."

When she said this, few of the students in the audience believed her. They all gave her a look that said, "What kind of trick are you up to now?"

Shi Jing was quite helpless. The original owner had used too many tricks in the past, and now that she had said this, the students' first reaction was to suspect that she was trying to play hard to get.

"As students, our primary task is to study hard. I have realized this now, and from now on I will devote all my energy to my studies."

No one around answered. The morning reading bell had already rung, but the atmosphere in the classroom remained tense.

Jiang Lin, the school's most handsome student and class monitor, stood up at this moment. He looked at Shi Jing on the podium and said in a flat and indifferent tone: "I hope that Shi Jing can keep his word, study hard, and not waste his academic life."

Shi Jing nodded, and in a moment of impulsiveness, he boasted, "Of course, my goal for the midterm exam is to be in the top ten of the class."

It's a fact that the original owner had a crush on the school heartthrob, and she didn't expect to change everyone's opinion of her in a short time. Today, she's made her stance clear; she'll take things slowly from now on.
