Era: The naive beauty charmed the villain!

"Hoo! Hoo!"

Lin An'an suddenly sat up, breathing heavily.

Didn't she die again?

Yes, again.

Lin An'an was an orphan in her first life.

She was born at the end of the 20th century. As a child, she was just cute, but as she grew older, she became more and more beautiful.

Although she was an orphan, Lin An'an grew up under the radiant light of the Party and was of impeccable character.

She firmly believed that "every gift that fate bestows has already been secretly priced."

We must learn a profound lesson from this.

However, because Lin An'an was very timid, she took this statement too seriously and went to the other extreme.

As Lin An'an grew up, she tried to conceal her outstanding appearance.

Heavy bangs covered her bright eyes, and a pair of large black-rimmed glasses sat on her high nose. Simple and conservative clothing had become her standard attire.

Originally, her pointed chin and cherry-like lips added to her appearance, but due to a certain epidemic, a nationwide mask craze swept the country.

With a large mask on her face, Lin An'an was completely blended into the crowd.

Because of her outdated and loose-fitting clothes, she even looked a bit ugly.

Contrary to her outstanding appearance, Lin An'an was not a smart child from a young age.

Even though she studied very hard, in high school, she even neglected to eat and sleep in order to keep up with the pace of her studies.

Unfortunately, due to limited talent, Lin An'an ended up only getting into a less popular major at a second-tier college.

She has an average education, works in an unpopular major, has no connections, and is not good-looking.

After graduating from university, it is naturally not easy to find a job.

In the end, Lin An'an did not find a job related to her major and became an ordinary clerk.

Through hard work and a positive response to the 996 work schedule, I became a proud corporate slave and managed to settle down in the city where my university was located.

That evening, as usual, Lin An'an dragged her tired body home from get off work, taking public transportation, changing buses and then changing buses again.

I finally made it back to the edge of the city, to my cramped rented room, before midnight.

Although the rented room was small and simple, it was a little nest that Lin An'an had worked her hardest to set up for herself.

She believed that although the price of one square meter of housing in this city was equivalent to her salary for two and a half months without eating or drinking.

But as long as she works hard enough, she will one day realize her ultimate dream and own her own house!

Having just finished washing up, Lin An'an lay down on her single wooden bed and let out a long sigh of relief.

I'm so tired, I can finally rest.

"Ding dong!"

A phone notification woke Lin An'an, who was about to fall asleep.

It was a special reminder ringtone that Lin An'an set up for her direct supervisor.

Lin An'an also wanted to shut down her phone decisively, but jobs were hard to find these days, and she had no family to support her. If she lost this job, she would have trouble paying rent next month.

Reluctantly, I got up, picked up my phone from the bedside table, and took a look.

"Xiaolin, the data I gave you this morning has changed. I've already sent you the correct data. Please redo the spreadsheet and send it to my email before you go to work tomorrow morning."

Lin An'an looked at the message, and her vision blurred.

With so many forms, she had to redo them all after the data was changed; she'd worked for nothing all day.

The key issue is that with such a huge workload, she has to finish before work tomorrow morning, so she won't be able to sleep tonight!

Lin An'an grew angrier the more she thought about it. She felt a dull pain in her chest, her vision went black, she slumped off the bed, and knew nothing more.
