People are in Honkai Impact 3rd, there's a villain simulator.

[One of the most famous rumors is that you and Fu Hua were once lovers, but were forced to separate due to their vastly different family backgrounds.]

In the fictional story, after you two were forced to separate, Fu Hua harbored resentment towards you, while you bore it all alone, silently watching over her.

[Until that day when you met again, you could no longer suppress your feelings and forcibly kissed Fu Hua in public, resulting in her retaliating with a powerful punch due to misunderstanding and resentment.]

Although the rumors were all fabricated, they weren't entirely wrong... Some subtle details matched up, which is why this version of the legend has the highest spread and acceptance. Some people even used it as material and template to write a fanfiction, which pushed the relationship between Qiao Qiao and Fu Hua back into the spotlight.

If civilization still exists in this world a hundred years from now, will this book be regarded as true history?

Qiaoqiao was somewhat worried that the truth of history would be replaced by some beautiful fantasies and thus obscured.

As a popular figure at school, your kiss with a commoner girl has become a hot topic, drastically changing Fu Hua's previously quiet and solitary school life. Students who used to ignore her are now curiously asking Fu Hua about your relationship with her.

At first, Fu Hua would try to explain the situation to her classmates in a way that avoided the main point, but later, with so many people asking, she simply couldn't answer them all and could only let the questions escalate.

Then, the annual student council election began.

The students at this school come from various regions and cities across China, with diverse family backgrounds. They can generally be divided into two groups: aristocratic students who gained admission through internal channels, and commoner students who enrolled from outside the school. You naturally belong to the former, while Fu Hua belongs to the latter.

The ratio of aristocratic students admitted through internal channels to commoner students admitted from outside the school is roughly six to four. However, due to traditions established at the school's founding, aristocratic students have always controlled the discourse among all students, while commoner students, like Fu Hua, are mostly marginalized. The student council president and its members have also always been aristocratic students.

However, this school has undergone a tremendous change. Thanks to your exceptional talent in martial arts, you are hailed as the most outstanding all-rounder in the school's 500-year history. But even for such a once-in-a-century genius, the school has seen the emergence of figures who can rival you.

Fu Hua doesn't possess the same extraordinary talent as you. She simply approaches everything with greater seriousness, focus, and effort than others. What others can memorize after three repetitions, she insists on doing twenty times to thoroughly master. It is this meticulous effort that allows her to achieve academic results nearly on par with yours, earning her the title of 'the light of the common people.'

A multi-talented genius and a hardworking mortal—you two are like Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, equally outstanding, yet irreconcilable.

[At the very beginning of the student council election, you announced your candidacy in a high-profile manner. The person who wins the student council president position will be at the pinnacle of the entire student body. As the mayor's son, from a prestigious family, you naturally wouldn't want to give up this position to someone else. Moreover, this is an opportunity to compete with Fu Hua, so you certainly wouldn't let it slip by.]

Fu Hua initially didn't intend to run for student council president, but so many ordinary students pleaded with her to run, asking her to change the treatment of ordinary students in the academy. Fu Hua was deeply moved by this, because she was an ordinary student herself and empathized with their situation. But the real turning point that made her decide to run for election was actually you.

Fu Hua knew everything about Qiao Qiao's past misdeeds. Once Qiao Qiao became the student council president, the bullying suffered by ordinary students would only intensify. Even the aristocratic students would be no different from ants in his eyes. The entire school would become his kingdom, and he would be the sole 'tyrant.' No one would be able to resist, just like what he did in kindergarten.

To prevent Qiao Qiao from becoming student council president, Fu Hua ultimately decides to run for the position.

At the start of the election, Fu Hua's votes surged, propelling her to first place and leaving second-place Qiao Qiao far behind, which surprised everyone.

Although the aristocratic students outnumbered each other, they were divided into numerous factions, constantly fighting amongst themselves. It was impossible for them to relinquish the student council presidency to someone else.

Even you, the most capable and renowned among them, cannot make him willingly submit. Although the commoner students are fewer in number, Fu Hua is their only hope for a comeback. They have concentrated all their votes on her, creating a huge advantage for her.

The combined strength of commoner students, given their desperate gamble, was simply too much for the disorganized aristocratic students to handle.

To counter the election strategy of commoner students banding together for mutual support, and to secure the student council president position and trample Fu Hua underfoot, you have no choice but to employ every underhanded tactic, leveraging your family background and connections to eliminate other aristocratic students participating in the election through coercion and bribery.

[As the student council president election enters its second half, it's basically just you and Fu Hua vying for the position. Nobody knows whether the dawn of light or the tyrant will arrive in the end.]

Until one day, an uninvited guest burst through the door of your election office.

Fu Hua angrily pushed open the door and stared at you with a sharp look.

Qiao Qiao noticed Fu Hua's pupils and waved to the members in her election office, signaling them to leave.

After they all left, Fu Hua had no more scruples and started to attack Qiao Qiao, slamming a stack of documents on your table.

"Qiaoqiao, this is evidence of how you coerced and bribed other candidates to withdraw from the election, and how you bought votes. What else do you have to say?"

Seeing Fu Hua's serious and tense expression, Qiao Qiao raised an eyebrow and picked up the evidence she had collected to carefully examine it.

All the evidence here is genuine, without a trace of fabrication. This is indeed Fu Hua's style; she cannot tolerate any deception and is so upright that it's heartbreaking.

"Since you already know, then I have nothing more to say."

Qiaoqiao slammed the documents on the table, her expression showing no sign of panic, as if she were giving up.

It should be noted that if evidence of his coercion and inducement of other students is leaked, not only will he be completely disqualified from the student council president election, but he will also be expelled from school, or even go to jail.

"Since you've already admitted it, then you should obediently admit your mistake in front of all the teachers and students and accept a fair and reasonable punishment."

Fu Hua's approach is very much in line with her style. Even if Qiao Qiao does all sorts of evil deeds, she will not use this to threaten him, but intends to punish him in a fair and square manner.

Even facing the risk of imprisonment, Qiao Qiao calmly and naturally saw Fu Hua, and couldn't help but be moved and amazed by her ability to investigate all of this, and applauded.

At this moment, two choices appeared before Qiaoqiao.

[Option 1: Kneel down and hug Fu Hua's fair and smooth thighs, crying and saying, "Hua, I know I was wrong. I hope you will forgive me and let me go. I will definitely turn over a new leaf!"]

[Option 2: Take out photos of Fu Hua's family and throw them in her face, arrogantly saying, "Hua, I know where you live and all the information about your family. You don't want your family to get hurt because of you, do you?"]

If Qiao Qiao chooses option one and sincerely apologizes, he believes that given Fu Hua's character, she will definitely forgive him and leave him a way out. However, since Qiao Qiao is bound to the villain's life system, abandoning evil and turning to good will only make him die faster. Only by doing evil can he continue to simulate.

After choosing option 2, Qiaoqiao took a stack of photos from the office cabinet and threw them at Fu Hua's face. She reached out and lifted Fu Hua's beautifully shaped chin, a sinister smile on her lips as she whispered in her ear, "Hua, I know where you live, and I know all the information about your family. You don't want your family to get hurt because of you, do you?"

The photos Qiaoqiao showed included pictures of her family, relatives, and friends, and these were all taken secretly. It was clear that Qiaoqiao was telling her that if she dared to expose Qiaoqiao, her family would be hurt.

Faced with your threat, Fu Hua suddenly became enraged, clenched her fist, and unleashed her self-created fist technique, striking you in the face.

[Rain! Thunder! Rocks shatter! Mountains collapse! Clouds billow!]

Fu Hua unleashed all the martial arts techniques she had learned in her life on you without reservation, and you were quickly beaten black and blue, your head bleeding profusely.

But you never raised your hand to retaliate, letting her break your bones and tendons.

[Only after Fu Hua calmed down did she realize that the classroom was now surrounded by students, who were all taking out their phones to take pictures and record videos of the violence Fu Hua had just committed against her.]

Fu Hua wanted to explain, but as soon as she took a step forward, the students screamed in terror at the sight of her covered in blood, their eyes filled with fear as if they were looking at a demon.

You collapsed to the ground, your body riddled with fractures of varying degrees, blood gushing from your mouth, yet a smile stretched across your lips, almost reaching your ears.

Everything is going according to your plan.

No matter how Fu Hua explained, faced with the bloody facts, all her words seemed pale and powerless.

[In the eyes of the other students, Fu Hua is now a delinquent girl who resorts to violence to win the student council election.]

At this moment, the outcome is already decided.

The light has fallen, and a tyrant has descended.

[You have received the reward - Inch Heart Fist Technique.]

Chapter Ten: A world where only Fu Hua was injured was born.

[Having sustained serious injuries, you were immediately taken to the First People's Hospital of Canghai City. Thanks to the treatment of a German-trained physician, you quickly recovered and were bedridden.]

[While you were bedridden, Fu Hua was suspended from school for bullying classmates. With your last enemy gone, you successfully ascended to the position of student council president.]

[During your recovery, your mayor father and your teacher discussed with you the need to take Fu Hua's bullying incident seriously. Even though Fu Hua is currently a minor and thus exempt from criminal punishment, your father, with his influence, can still make her suffer a fate worse than death through various means.]

[However, thanks to your strong advocacy, your mayor father and teachers agreed to waive Fu Hua's punishment, only requiring her to stay home from school, write a letter of repentance, and personally apologize to you.]

[Your father and teachers are pleased with your magnanimous spirit in forgiving others' mistakes. In everyone's eyes, you have become a kind and forgiving victim, while Fu Hua is an absolute villain.]

[Except for Fu Hua, only she knows that you are a complete bastard.]

Fu Hua was confined to the house by her father for three months for assaulting a classmate, forbidden from leaving the house or practicing martial arts, until she wrote a letter of repentance.

Fu Hua endured misunderstandings from her teachers, classmates, and family. Countless times she tried to produce evidence of Qiao Qiao's coercion and manipulation to prove her innocence, but the thought of her family's lives being firmly in Qiao Qiao's hands forced her to yield.

Even at the very end, Fu Hua was still unable to swallow her pride and write a letter of repentance to apologize to you.

So, her honest and kind-hearted father insisted on taking Fu Hua to the hospital to apologize to you.

Qiao Qiao's arm was wrapped in bandages, her face was sickly pale, and her eyes stared blankly at the withering apricot leaves outside the window. Although Qiao Qiao had won the contest with Fu Hua and won the position of student council president, the price she paid was heavy. If Fu Hua was now suffering from mental anguish, Qiao Qiao was now enduring physical pain.

Fu Hua really went all out.

Qiao Qiao thought to herself, but if she hadn't used her family as bait to provoke Fu Hua's bottom line, Fu Hua probably wouldn't have taken the bait so easily. As the saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub.

After a while, Qiaoqiao heard the sound of the ward door being opened, and a burly man pulled Fu Hua into the room.

"Father, I don't want to apologize to Qiaoqiao!"

"I did nothing wrong! It was him..."

Fu Hua tried her best to break free from her father's strong arms, but how could a child's strength compare to that of an adult, especially one who was skilled in martial arts?

Seeing that Fu Hua still refused to repent, her father raised his arm and slapped her across the face.

Fu Hua had a red handprint on her face, her eyes filled with glistening tears, and she stood silently to the side.

"Hua, how many times have I told you?" Hua's father said in a heavy voice, "We practice martial arts to strengthen our bodies and protect ourselves and the important people around us. We must never hurt others or bully the weak."

Hua's father grabbed Hua's shoulders and earnestly admonished him, "No matter the reason, you hurt your classmate, that's an indisputable fact. You must apologize to Qiao today, or I will not have you as my child!"

Hearing that her father wanted to sever their father-daughter relationship, Hua felt extremely wronged and glared angrily at Qiao Qiao, who was lying on the hospital bed.

It's all his fault!

"Father, even if you beat me to death today, I will never apologize to Qiaoqiao."

"Fine! If a son is not taught properly, it is the father's fault. I'm going to teach you a lesson today."

As he spoke, Hua's father grabbed a nearby stool and was about to smash it at Fu Hua. The nurse next to him felt sorry for her, but since it was a private family matter, she didn't say anything.

"stop!"

Fu Hua was bracing himself for his father's wrath and closed his eyes in fear when Qiao Qiao, lying on the hospital bed, suddenly spoke up and stopped Fu Hua's father.

“Father, this is a matter between Hua and me. Please do not interfere.”

Looking into Qiaoqiao's deep, cold eyes, Hua's father's anger and frustration gradually subsided. After calming down, he slowly put down the stool in his hand.

"Hua hurt you, why are you still protecting her?"

Having narrowly escaped a beating, Fu Hua turned to look at Qiao Qiao, who had spoken up for her, still shaken.

“I will resolve the conflict between Hua and me myself. I don’t need anyone else to take matters into their own hands and seek justice for me.” Qiao Qiao turned to Fu Hua and said, “I have already discussed with the school that they will not hold Fu Hua accountable for hitting me. As for whether she apologizes or not, I don’t care.”

Hearing that Qiaoqiao was willing to forgive Fu Hua, Hua's father looked at Qiaoqiao with a hint of surprise. Although he spoke harshly, Hua was still his only daughter, and he certainly did not want his daughter to be sent to a juvenile detention center or expelled from school for hurting others.

After learning that Qiaoqiao would not hold Fu Hua's mistake against her, Hua's father felt relieved and was left with a good impression of Qiaoqiao.

No wonder his teachers and classmates at school all praised him highly and called him a genius.

Qiao Qiao then took the opportunity to say, "Father, you should leave first. I want to talk to Fu Hua alone."

Hearing Qiao Qiao's persuasion, Hua's father finally put down the stool he was holding. After all, Qiao Qiao herself had said that she wanted to forgive Fu Hua, so he couldn't say anything more.

“Since Qiao has said so, I’ll step aside for a while.” Hua’s father turned to Hua and instructed, “Fu Hua, remember to take good care of Qiao and make up for your mistakes… If you continue to make the same mistakes, even if Qiao pleads for you, I will not tolerate you making the same mistake again.”

Once her father had left, Fu Hua relaxed and looked at Qiao Qiao with suspicion, asking, "What exactly were you planning to do by speaking up for me just now?"

Fu Hua had already suffered a great loss due to Qiao Qiao's schemes, and now she had to be extra careful.

To this, Qiao Qiao simply sneered and said, "I told you, this is a contest between you and me, and no one else has the right to interfere."
