Su Deng paused slightly, then looked up. "Then I want my mother to be resurrected."

The fairy godmother frowned slightly. "This won't do."

Su Deng's eyes were brimming with tears. "Didn't you say you could grant all my wishes?"

The fairy godmother's expression visibly stiffened, and she coughed awkwardly. "Then let me rephrase. Do you want to attend the prince's ball? I can help you become the most beautiful..."

"I don't want to," Su Deng said directly.

Fairy Godmother: "..."

"Mountains of gold and silver! Mountains of gold and silver..."

Suddenly, birds chirped in the hazel tree in front of the grave, attracting a flock of birds, each with a golden or silver bead in its beak.

There were also many mice, quickly threading needles with gold and silver threads.

They strung the beads together and quickly made a skirt.

The combination of gold and silver is extremely luxurious.

It was more beautiful than any gorgeous dress Catherine had ever seen in her life.

"Hmm, impressive." The Fairy Godmother nodded in praise of the animals, then stroked her chin with one hand and examined the dress. "But I think there are still some things that can be changed."

She waved her magic wand, and her gold and silver dress became even more supple and beautiful.

More magnificent.

The fairy godmother nodded in satisfaction, "Try them on."

She waved her magic wand again, and the dress was on Su Deng's body.

Su Deng frowned. "I said I didn't want to go to the ball."

"Oh, dear girl," the little bird in the tree spoke, "your two older sisters and stepmother are so cruel to you. If they become queens, your life will be even worse. Don't you want to change your life now?"

"You should be called Cinderella, not Cinderella."

The fairy godmother put her arm around her shoulder, lifted her chin, and said with heartache, "You are a kind and good child, you shouldn't have to suffer like this."

"Why do they get to go to the ball, while you're here?"

"Have you forgotten how they bullied you? Why should you suffer these injustices?"

Even the rats on the ground started talking.

"Yes, why should I?" Su Deng wanted to retort, but this was the sentence that came out of her mouth, her resentment and anger rising at the same time.

Before she could react, she had already put on her beautiful crystal shoes, boarded a pumpkin carriage, and headed towards the palace.

Behind them, the fairy godmother's words still lingered: "The magic will wear off at midnight, so you must leave before midnight."

Su Deng: "..."

Fuck you!

Since we're going to the ball anyway, why make any choices there?

And you still say "be careful"?

And will it have a huge impact on the subsequent plot?

She even wondered if some new trick had appeared.

It turns out to be a new trick that's actually sick.

Go to hell!
