Cannon fodder whose lives are controlled tries to rewrite their destiny (Part 1). Please add to your collection...
The original owner of this body, Chen Xia, was a lively and lovely little girl when she was young. However, after her parents divorced and she started living with her mother, Li Qian, she gradually became quiet and reserved.
Li Qian is a strong-willed woman. After divorcing her husband Chen Lihui, she became obsessively focused on the education of her daughter, the original owner of the body.
She was seething with anger and vowed to raise her daughter perfectly, to show her former in-laws that a well-raised daughter is no less capable than a son.
Starting from first grade, Li Qian enrolled the original owner of the body in extracurricular classes. She had heard that learning classical dance from a young age could shape a girl's body and improve her temperament, so she enrolled the original owner in dance classes to learn classical dance.
The original owner was the kind of child with poor motor skills and uncoordinated limbs. It is indeed possible to learn to dance through practice, but it is very difficult and requires long-term and arduous practice.
The original owner was young, and although she tried her best to follow the teacher's movements, she was uncoordinated and almost always fell while practicing dance. The pain from the falls made her cry to Li Qian, complaining that she was in so much pain and didn't want to go to dance class anymore.
Li Qian felt that the original owner's resistance was disobedience and immaturity. Every time the original owner cried or made a fuss, Li Qian would yell at her and call her stupid with all sorts of vicious words. She also frequently brainwashed the original owner, saying that it was because she was too stupid that Chen Lihui didn't want her.
Li Qian's words deeply hurt the original owner's young and fragile heart. Because of Li Qian's domineering nature, the original owner had always been closer to her father, Chen Lihui, since childhood.
When Chen Lihui divorced Li Qian, he actually fought for custody of the original owner, but Li Qian refused to give it to him and even said that if he tried to fight for custody, she would jump off the building with the original owner.
Chen Lihui didn't dare to provoke her, so he had no choice but to give up custody of the original owner. After the divorce, Chen Lihui would transfer a sum of money to Li Qian for child support every month.
But Li Qian resolutely refused to accept it. She would rather live a frugal and hard life with the original owner than spend a single penny of Chen Lihui's money.
She refused to let Chen Lihui see the original owner of the body, and if pushed too far, she would drag the original owner to her death. Chen Lihui dared not provoke her and could only stay away from the original owner.
Since her parents' divorce, the original owner had never seen her father, Chen. She truly believed that her father didn't want her anymore. Afraid of being abandoned by her mother, the original owner could only endure the pain and continue to practice dancing diligently.
But her efforts did not satisfy Li Qian. Later, the dance teacher advised Li Qian that the child did not have any talent in dance, and forcing it would only be a waste of money. It would be better to discover other talents as soon as possible.
So, Li Qian enrolled the original owner in extracurricular classes such as painting and piano. Although the original owner didn't like these classes, she still tried her best to learn them in order to make Li Qian happy.
But not all efforts yield results. The original owner was young and her artistic talent was only average.
I forced myself to study hard, learn to draw and play the piano every day, and I was as busy as a spinning top, but the final results were mediocre. My grades dropped, and I also did terribly in drawing and playing the piano.
What suffocated the original owner the most was not the various interest and extracurricular classes, but Li Qian's relentless control.
Li Qian was a middle school math teacher. When the original owner was in elementary school, she used her connections to transfer from the Experimental Middle School to the Experimental Elementary School. From first grade to sixth grade, she was the original owner's math teacher.
What the original owner ate, did, and even which friends she played with at school all required Li Qian's permission. If the original owner played with any friend Li Qian disliked, she would be met with a barrage of scolding from Li Qian when she got home.
The year the original owner entered junior high school, Li Qian was transferred back to the Experimental Middle School. The original owner passed the high school entrance exam, and Li Qian used connections and spent money to get into the high school section of the Experimental Middle School.
Li Qian's constant presence made the original owner feel oppressed. What made her feel even more suffocated was that whenever she spoke an extra word to any boy, Li Qian would appear and hysterically berate her in front of everyone for being indecent. After the beating, she would demand that the original owner write a self-criticism and guarantee of more than a thousand words and then read it aloud in front of the whole class.
When choosing her courses in her first year of high school, physics and chemistry were her weak subjects. Considering her good memory and ability to memorize quickly, she wanted to choose humanities, but Li Qian insisted that she switch to science.
Every time the exam results were announced, it was torture for the original owner. If she didn't do well in any subject, she would be scolded by Li Qian in front of everyone.
After the college entrance examination results were released, the original protagonist achieved a score that both she and Li Qian were very satisfied with. When filling out college applications, she wanted to apply to universities in large cities far from home.
Over the years, she has lived a very repressed life under Li Qian's strong control. She hopes that her mother, Li Qian, will stop revolving around her and that she should have her own life. She also hopes to escape Li Qian's control.
But Li Qian, who was used to controlling the original owner's life, could not let her be too far away from her. She carefully selected the teacher's college closest to home for the original owner and even specified the major, telling her to choose English.
The original owner studied hard for three years in high school and scored more than 100 points above the first-tier university cutoff in the college entrance examination. If she were asked to apply to a teacher's college that was almost at the bottom of the second-tier universities, wouldn't all her hard work in high school have been wasted?
However, when she refused and resisted, Li Qian threatened to kill herself time and time again. In the end, the original owner compromised, followed Li Qian's wishes, studied at the teacher's college that Li Qian liked, became a teacher that Li Qian was satisfied with, and married a civil servant that Li Qian had carefully selected.
The long-term repression caused the original owner to lose faith in life. She lived like a walking corpse. A year after getting married, faced with Li Qian's relentless pressure to have a child, the original owner chose to jump off a high-rise building.
Her wish was simple: to escape Li Qian's control and get as far away from her as possible. She had already repaid Li Qian's kindness in giving her life and raising her in her past life, and in this life, she hoped that Chen Xia could live freely in her place.
Chen Xia arrived just in time; tomorrow is the deadline for submitting college applications, so she still has a chance to change the applications that Li Qian has altered.
The original owner had applied to Taipei Aeronautical University, but Chen Xia decided to fulfill the original owner's wish to study in a first-tier city and changed it back to the original owner's first choice, Taipei Aeronautical University.
At five in the morning, Li Qian stormed into Chen Xia's room, yelling, "The sun's already high in the sky and you're still not up? What girl is as lazy as you...?"
Chen Xia stared blankly at her, making Li Qian feel a little flustered. She said, "You're so lazy, get up and cook!" and then fled.
Chen Xia wasn't the original owner of this body; she couldn't be a submissive puppet. When Li Qian asked her to cook, she turned the fire up high, burning the bottom of the pot and blackening the kitchen tiles with soot. When asked to wash the dishes, she slipped and ruined all the plates and bowls with a crash.
Li Qian trembled with anger: "You idiot, you've lived all these years in vain, you can't even do the smallest thing right, what else can you do?"
If you don't want to do it, just say so. You've ruined all the pots and pans. What are we going to cook and eat with now? Tell me, what are we going to eat with? You're just a useless piece of trash who's good for nothing. A piece of trash like you doesn't even deserve to go to Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou..."
Chen Xia let it go in one ear and out the other. Let her curse as much as she wants. Anyway, she had the little system record all her curses. She would buy a voice recorder later, save it, and even if it couldn't be used as evidence of her abusing herself in court, it would still serve as evidence.
This is a trump card; who knows if Li Qian will deliberately play the victim online later. If it weren't for the fear of being too harsh on Li Qian and getting a bad review from the original owner, Chen Xia would have already poisoned her to make her mute, given how filthy her insults were.
Li Qian got tired of yelling, grabbed her bag, changed into leather shoes, went downstairs, called a colleague, and arranged to go to the beauty salon together.
Chen Xia watched her departing figure and sneered. Here we go again. From a young age, Li Qian not only verbally abused and manipulated the original owner, but also frequently treated her with passive-aggressive behavior.
For example, right now, Li Qian goes out for a beauty treatment and spends most of the day without caring that the original owner has no money or knows how to cook, or what she eats that day. In her opinion, she won't starve to death even if she goes hungry for a day.
The original owner had never had a penny of money in her life. Her New Year's money was all taken by Li Qian. She had to report to Li Qian before buying anything. Li Qian would buy it for her if she was happy, and otherwise, it would be another matter. This was one of the important ways Li Qian controlled the original owner.
Chen Xia felt that her ability to win the "golden finger" (a cheat code that allows users to spend money to get a refund) was largely due to the original owner's strong desire for economic independence.
The golden finger was incredibly helpful, not only providing her with initial capital of 100,000, but also thoughtfully opening a bank account for her.
Chen Xia quietly went to Li Qian's room and put her ID card, admission ticket, and household registration book into her spatial storage.
To prevent Li Qian from discovering the change of college application choices, the system copied the changes and, under the operation of the 996 system, successfully changed the choices at the last minute before the college application period ended.
Chen Xia went out and bought a new mobile phone and a voice recorder. She also got a new SIM card using her ID card. The system worked very well and changed the contact phone number on the application information to Chen Xia's new mobile phone number, and the address to Chen Lihui's home address.
After getting a beauty treatment, Li Qian went shopping and had dinner with her colleagues, not returning home until evening. Chen Xia hid in her room, pretending not to hear Li Qian deliberately pacing back and forth in the living room while making phone calls.
