The system makes me so beautiful that I don't care about anyone else's life or death.

Jiangcheng.

One of the most developed trading cities in China, its coastline has historically been a beautiful landscape crisscrossed by trade and transportation.

Meanwhile, the most luxurious five-star resort hotel on the coast is hosting a lively graduation banquet.

But behind the excitement, a brutal and inhumane act of bullying is unfolding.

"Do not!!!!"

The screams were deafening, but no one in the noisy hall could hear them.

"Help me—someone help me—"

With a creaking sound, the chair scraped against the floor with a loud thud.

The lights were bright and the colors were vibrant. Rows of beautiful and elegant dresses were neatly arranged.

The swans on the island platform spread their wings and stretched their long necks.

However, in the next moment, the elegant white swan was covered by strands of black hair streaked with blood.

The dressing table made a banging sound as two girls forcefully pushed a burly girl down onto it.

Su Ran struggled to straighten herself and get off the chair, but countless hands held her down tightly.

"How could we waste our good intentions? We're genuinely trying to style you to make you the most eye-catching person at Youyou's graduation ceremony. Isn't that why you came here?"

The long-haired girl looked down at Su Ran, who was being pinned down on the dressing table by the other two girls.

Holding a sharp razor, she cruelly shaved off the girl's hair, not even sparing her scalp!

"Youyou has told us that from childhood to adulthood, you have tried every means to get your hands on her things."

"It's because you're so bad that you were sent to the countryside."

"But she's just a stepmother's child, and she really thinks she's a princess?"

"Come here, I'll make you a pretty hat." One of the girls took out a marker and scribbled on the blood-soaked scalp.

"Hahaha, look at her hair! There's a huge chunk missing in the middle, it's hilarious! Youyou described it to us so euphemistically, this isn't just ordinary ugliness, it's absolutely hideous!"

They frolicked, treating Su Ran like a toy; their expressions were enthusiastic, but their actions were cruel and cold.

Under their cruel manipulation, Su Ran's hat was removed, her mask was ripped off, and her rugged face covered with twisted scars was completely exposed to the air!

Her dignity, along with countless threads, crumbled to the ground, and blood flowed from her forehead to the corner of her lips, making her look even more repulsive.

"I'm not a stepdaughter, I'm not..." she cried out. She was never a child brought by a stepmother!

"At this point, you're still delusional, dreaming of taking Youyou's place," someone mocked.

"Who are you? Who are you all? Why are you doing this to me!"

Her three questions did not stop them from doing evil above their heads.

The razor made a chilling scraping sound above their heads, and the girls spoke casually, yet it sent shivers down their spines.

"As Youyou's best friend, of course I'll avenge Youyou!"

The razor was moved to Su Ran's throat.

"Your voice is much prettier than your face, do you want to destroy both of them?"

Su Ran's heart tightened immediately!

"Stop." One of the short-haired girls held Su Ran down. "If this continues, things will get different."

Just when Su Ran thought the drama was about to end, she heard the woman's voice say:

"Didn't she want to attend the graduation ceremony? Let her attend."

Su Ran suddenly looked up in horror at her reflection in the mirror, her head now shaved. Her once snow-white scalp was now covered with marks from sharp objects, the flesh turned inside out, a disgusting sight mixed with black ink.

Not to mention that face that couldn't be covered up because of the loss of hair.

"No! Don't!!"

Having lived in the countryside for many years, she encountered difficulties this time. She finally mustered up the courage to come to Jiangcheng to ask for help from relatives she hadn't seen for many years, but she never expected to suddenly face bullying from strangers!

She didn't want to see her father like this; she didn't want to lose her last shred of dignity in such a grand setting.

"Please..." she cried out.

"Beg us? You might as well beg Youyou instead." The short-haired girl with a calm voice sneered.

Shi Youyou's college entrance celebration was just a wall away.

Those in the dressing room heard the cheers and knew the ceremony was over; it was time for toasts and drinks.

The bullies are preparing a major show for their best friend.

While all the guests were enjoying themselves, Su Ran was violently pushed out.

She had a bald head covered in blood and a face even more terrifying than Halloween makeup.

Not to mention the dark green dress she was wearing, which clashed terribly with her dark and bulky figure; the zipper at the back was wide open because it couldn't be zipped up.

She wasn't cold, yet she was shivering all over.

The entire crowd was stunned by her sudden appearance.

In the crowd, Su Ran met a pair of serious and indifferent eyes.

"Dad..." she stammered, calling out the name she had kept hidden in her heart for thirteen years.

The middle-aged man had a refined appearance, but his expression changed from bewilderment to anger.

"Where did this madman come from? He comes in claiming to be related to someone right away."

Before the middle-aged man could speak, the woman next to him stepped forward with her arms crossed, and next to her was a beautiful young girl in a white dress.

These words were like a switch being flipped, and the middle-aged man, his face contorted with anger, pointed at Su Ran.

"Call security! Get her out of here!"

Soon, two tall and strong men came over and pulled Su Ran outside by her arms.

She can't leave!

She still has something very important to finish, how can she leave so easily?

"Dad! It's me, Ranran!" Su Ran's voice was melodious and pleasant, and her blood-stained face seemed to become mysterious.

A young, handsome man narrowed his eyes, his tone sarcastic.

"Who gave you permission to cause trouble here!"

"Brother..." Su Ran's eyes were filled with astonishment and confusion, "Why is it that even you..."

The man interrupted her, his expression one of disgust, "Don't try to claim kinship with me. I only have one sister, Youyou!"

How did her brother, who once treated her like a precious gem, become someone she didn't recognize?

The look of utter disgust in her eyes sent chills down her spine.

She wanted to escape, but those all-pervasive gazes, like cold, hard iron chains, trapped her in a cage, leaving her with nowhere to retreat.

What reason would she have to choose to run away?

"Dad, I need your help." She mustered her courage and said, "Grandma is sick, and I—"

Her words were abruptly interrupted.

"Get her out of here! Today is my only daughter's big day, don't let some unknown woman ruin this wonderful occasion!"

Shi Zheng's words made Su Ran feel dizzy.

The only daughter?

So what is she?

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a tall, upright figure standing there, as proud as a sapling poplar tree.

“Brother Song Chu, you know me. You’ve known me since I was born.” He could prove that she was indeed the daughter of the Shi family.

But his next words shattered her expectations.

"I don't know you. The only person who grew up with me was Youyou. Where did you come from, you liar?"

His sharp, piercing gaze tore Su Ran's expectations to shreds.

A beautiful young woman in a formal dress smiled and gave Su Ran the same look she had given her years ago.

She smiled confidently, just like when she was a child, and mouthed, "I'm going to let you see with your own eyes that I'm taking everything from you."

In an instant, the world spun around, and Su Ran collapsed!

He is not her biological father.

He was not her blood brother.

He wasn't her neighbor's brother.

Who are they?

It hurts too much.

It hurts so much!

It was beyond her capacity to handle.

It shouldn’t be!

Her life shouldn't be like this!

Su Ran suddenly stood up, broke free from the security guard's hand, and rushed into the surging crowd amidst everyone's unprepared gazes.

She ran aimlessly forward, running and running...

Suddenly, the surging river appeared before my eyes.

My stomach churned, and I couldn't stop vomiting.

For a long while, she stared blankly at the river, lost in thought.

Until a dizzy butterfly flew past, as if it had been drinking and couldn't control its wings, then it got stuck in a spider web that appeared out of nowhere and couldn't break free.

She was momentarily stunned, coldly watching the beautiful butterfly struggle on the spider web, as if it would become the spider's meal at any moment.

And it seems that in the next second, she was swallowed up by the giant waves of the Yangtze River.

A black spider dangles from the sky, about to devour its prey.

A rough, bloodied finger tore through the spiderweb and carefully brushed away the sticky spider silk from the butterfly's wings.

The butterfly that escaped the spider web spread its beautiful wings and fluttered away. It didn't leave immediately, but circled in front of her several times before finally landing on her fingertip. She smiled through her tears.

"Little butterfly, life is too bitter. It seems that God doesn't like me. He has taken away all the things I like."

I never want to come back in my next life. If only I could become a beautiful butterfly like you.
