Chapter 3479: Diva, Diva (36)

If that system could actually change a person’s gender, that would be truly incredible.

It probably couldn’t change genetic DNA, just facial features and body type. But that was still pretty badass.

Playing role-play like that must be a total blast.

That system must have existed for a very long time. Who knew how many worlds and people it had ruined?

Ning Shu waited and waited, sweating so much she felt like she’d taken a sauna. Finally, 2333 returned in triumph and told her, “I need to go into dormancy. The damage was quite extensive.”

Ning Shu: …

He was going to sleep again?

Theoretically, 2333 was a soul, so why did he need to sleep all the time? Was it to absorb the energy from that wild system?

“Go ahead and sleep,” Ning Shu said. She released her spiritual consciousness to see if Qiao Ling’er was still alive.

The current Qiao Ling’er had reverted to her original self. She no longer looked celestial or pure, nor did she look as regal as a peony.

She was back to her image from her previous life—tacky and plain.

Qiao Ling’er’s current appearance was frankly off-putting. She lacked any distinctive aura or features. Although her face was somewhat pretty, it left no impression.

Ning Shu didn’t care what Qiao Ling’er looked like; she only needed to be sure the girl was still alive. Seeing the heart thumping in her chest, Ning Shu gave a small smile.

As for what she would be like when she woke up, that was none of Ning Shu’s business.

After leaving the apartment complex, Ning Shu hurried to a cafe for a cold drink. She was roasting. She needed to get home and do a facial mask immediately; if she was going to eat based on her looks, she had to protect this face.

When Qiao Ling’er woke up, she stared at the ceiling in a daze. She felt as if she had slept for a very long time, as if a lifetime had passed. Suddenly remembering something, she scrambled up and rushed into the bathroom. One look was enough to nearly scare her soul out of her body. She touched her face in terror. Hadn’t the system said it would change her face? Why did she look like her old self?

Qiao Ling’er touched her face over and over, unable to believe it. She had turned back into her past self—the eighteenth-tier actress who could never get famous no matter what she did and was doomed to play minor roles forever.

The past was too painful to recall, and she didn’t want to be like this. She had asked for a new person, so why did she have this face? Qiao Ling’er hated this face. She believed it was because of this face that she had died as an obscure, statusless nobody in her previous life.

“System! System, what is going on? Why did you turn me back into my old self? I don’t want this face! Change it again! Change it again!”

Qiao Ling’er wailed hysterically, sweeping everything off the vanity. Bottles and jars crashed to the floor, and several glass containers shattered instantly.

However, the system in her mind didn’t say a word. Qiao Ling’er kept screaming for it, but the system remained silent. Her face turned pale and her expression filled with terror. A horrifying thought occurred to her: the system might have abandoned her. She was back to being the same person she was in her previous life.

The system was Qiao Ling’er’s crutch, her only source of hope. Now that it was gone, all her dreams were shattered. She couldn’t be a winner in life anymore, couldn’t capture men, and couldn’t be a superstar with millions of fans. She had been beaten back to her original form.

Qiao Ling’er was terrified. She didn’t know what to do. She was used to the system assigning tasks, giving advice, and telling her exactly what to do. Without even realizing it, she had developed a slave mentality, and now that her master was gone, she was lost and terrified.

What was the point of being reborn? This heartless system had abandoned her after she worked so hard on the tasks, all because the items it provided were faulty. Now she was burdened with massive debt and a ruined reputation. Qiao Ling’er felt so lost she didn’t know how to keep living. Her heart felt empty, with nothing to hold onto.

Qiao Ling’er shut herself in her home, disheveled and completely despondent.

After some time, Ning Shu checked on her secretly. Finding that Qiao Ling’er could still move and showed no signs of being a lunatic or an idiot, she couldn’t help but marvel at the girl’s luck.

However, the girl was now skin and bones with a sallow, sickly complexion. She didn’t look good at all.

Still, she should be satisfied. She hadn’t become a fool or a madman, and her brain hadn’t exploded.

However, Qiao Ling’er was in a tough spot. The photo on her ID card no longer matched her current appearance. Changing faces so quickly—it was quite interesting!

Now that Qiao Ling’er no longer had the system, Ning Shu stopped caring about her. She was busy with her own career. Her recent drama had become a hit, and several commercial advertisements were waiting for her to film them.

Ning Shu didn’t care about Qiao Ling’er, but someone else was constantly watching the girl. Ning Shu ran into Yue Wenlun wandering around downstairs again.

A deep-seated grudge indeed. As the saying went, a lean camel was still bigger than a horse. No matter how disgraced Yue Wenlun was, he still had savings. He tracked down Qiao Ling’er’s landlord and rented the apartment at double the price. In other words, Qiao Ling’er was now on Yue Wenlun’s territory.

She was like a fish on a chopping block, at his mercy. Ning Shu just watched silently. People said a man’s heart changed quickly. In the previous life, he had protected her at every turn. In this life, he wanted to cut her into a thousand pieces. Everyone had a bottom line, and Qiao Ling’er had trampled all over his. Now, he hated her to death.

They were just hurting each other. Ning Shu only kept an eye on Qiao Ling’er occasionally while staying busy with work. However, before long, a major event occurred: Yue Wenlun was dead. He had died after hitting the back of his head on something sharp, and his body was carried out of the apartment complex.

Yue Wenlun’s death caused a sensation. He was a Best Actor award winner after all, especially one who had been involved in so much drama recently. He hadn’t faded from the public eye yet, so his sudden death immediately drew attention.

News reports in the entertainment papers and online said Yue Wenlun had been killed by Li Kelan. His body had been carried out of her rented apartment. Li Kelan was immediately taken into custody while an investigation was launched.

Most people assumed it was a revenge killing because Yue Wenlun had recently identified Li Kelan as Qiao Ling’er, creating a deep enmity between them. Qiao Ling’er had ruined his career by releasing that ‘rape’ video.

For almost an entire year, the news had been dominated by Yue Wenlun’s scandals. It had been one intense event after another, and now he was dead—and in quite a spectacular fashion.

When Ning Shu saw the news, various thoughts flashed through her mind. She mostly leaned toward the idea that Qiao Ling’er had killed him. Since she’d been a lawyer before, Ning Shu keenly felt that Qiao Ling’er might be trying to kill two birds with one stone. She killed the man who was tormenting her, and by going behind prison bars, she also got to hide from her massive debts.
