The Last Life: The System of Universal Hatred
墨書 Inktalez
Shen Qingyi opened her eyes to find herself lying on the intricately carved wooden bed in the Minister's Residence.
Sunlight streamed through the sheer curtains, filling the air with a faint scent of sandalwood.
She sat up abruptly, her heart pounding like a drum, her fingertips trembling slightly.
"Have I... been reborn?" she murmured softly, memories of her past life flashing through her mind—how she was bound by the Most Hated System, despised no matter what she did, while the Fake Daughter, Shen Qingwan, stole everyone's affection with her gentle facade.
"In this life, I will change my fate," Shen Qingyi declared, clenching her fists, a glimmer of determination in her eyes.
Just then, light footsteps approached from outside the door.
"Sister, are you awake?" Shen Qingwan entered with a gentle smile on her face.
Shen Qingyi looked up at that familiar face and sneered inwardly: "As expected, she has also been reborn."
Shen Qingwan walked to the bedside and said softly, "Sister, did you sleep well last night? I had the kitchen prepare Lotus Seed Soup for you. Let's have breakfast together later."
Shen Qingyi smiled faintly, not responding.
Shen Qingwan's tenderness was merely a facade; in her previous life, it was how she gradually won everyone's hearts.
At that moment, a mechanical voice suddenly echoed in Shen Qingyi's mind:
"Ding! Host rebirth detected; System activated."
"Congratulations to the host for binding the Reverse Fate System. This System will assist the host in changing their destiny; completing tasks will yield rewards."
Shen Qingyi was taken aback, her heart racing with joy: "A System? In this life, I finally have a chance to turn things around!"
However, before she could ponder further, another voice rang out in Shen Qingwan's mind:
"Ding! Host rebirth detected, System activated."
"Congratulations, Host has bound to the 'The Most Hated' System. This System will make the Host an object of disdain, and completing tasks will yield rewards."
Shen Qingwan's face instantly turned pale. She took a step back, her eyes filled with terror. "What... what is this?"
Shen Qingyi quickly calmed down as the voice of the System echoed in her mind again:
"Ding! Initial task issued: Win your father's trust within three days. Task completion reward: Insight Eye (can see through others' disguises)."
"Win my father's trust?" Shen Qingyi frowned slightly.
In her previous life, her father had been cold and distant towards her, even developing a dislike for her due to Shen Qingwan's instigation.
In this life, she had to seize the opportunity.
She got up to freshen herself and changed into a simple yet elegant dress, preparing to pay her father a visit.
As she stepped out of her room, she saw Shen Qingwan standing in the courtyard, her expression fluctuating between dark and light.
"Sister, where are you going?" Shen Qingwan forced a smile.
"I'm going to pay my respects to Father," Shen Qingyi replied lightly, her gaze carrying a hint of scrutiny.
Shen Qingwan bit her lip, a flicker of panic crossing her eyes. "Then... I'll accompany you."
"No need." Shen Qingyi smiled slightly. "You don't look well, Sister. It's better for you to go back and rest."
With that, she walked away, leaving Shen Qingwan standing there with a pale face.
Shen Qingyi stood outside her father's study and gently knocked on the door. "Father, your daughter has come to pay her respects."
"Come in," Shen Xiangguo's voice was deep and authoritative.
Shen Qingyi pushed the door open and saw her father seated at his desk, reviewing official documents.
She bowed respectfully and said softly, "Father, I noticed you've been working hard lately, so I specially made a bowl of ginseng soup for you. Please enjoy it while it's hot."
Shen Xiangguo looked up, a hint of surprise in his gaze. "Oh? You made it yourself?"
"Yes," Shen Qingyi nodded as she placed the ginseng soup in front of him.
Shen Xiangguo took the bowl, sipped the soup, and relaxed his brow slightly. "It tastes good; you are thoughtful."
A smile spread across Shen Qingyi's face, and just as she was about to speak, a voice came from outside the door. "Father, your daughter has come to pay her respects."
Shen Xiangguo set down the soup and replied coolly, "Come in."
Shen Qingwan entered the study and noticed Shen Qingyi standing to the side, a flicker of jealousy crossing her eyes. She approached Shen Xiangguo and said sweetly, "Father, I saw that you've been working hard lately, so I had the kitchen prepare bird's nest porridge for you. Please give it a try."
Shen Xiangguo nodded. "Set it down."
Shen Qingwan placed the porridge on the table but kept her gaze fixed on the bowl of ginseng soup.
Feigning surprise, she exclaimed, "Oh dear, sister also made ginseng soup? What a coincidence!"
Shen Qingyi smiled lightly. "You are thoughtful too, sister."
Shen Qingwan bit her lip, a glimmer of malice flashing in her eyes.
She suddenly clutched her chest, her face pale as she said, "Father, I suddenly feel unwell. I think it might be due to the cold I caught last night..."
Shen Xiangguo frowned. "How careless of you! Go back and rest."
Shen Qingwan nodded, but as she turned to leave, she deliberately knocked over the ginseng soup on the table.
"Oh no!" she exclaimed, spilling the soup everywhere.
Shen Qingyi's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, but she did not react.
She crouched down and softly asked, "Are you alright, sister? Do you want me to help you back?"
Shen Qingwan forced a smile. "No need, sister. You should clean this up instead; we don’t want to dirty Father’s study."
With that, she quickly left, her eyes filled with triumph.
Shen Qingyi looked at the spilled soup on the floor and sneered inwardly, "She still loves to play her little tricks."
At that moment, the System's voice echoed again:
[Ding! Host detected to be framed; mission difficulty increased. Please earn your father's trust within three days and expose the Fake Daughter's scheme. Mission completion reward: Insight Eye (ability to see through others' disguises).]
Shen Qingyi took a deep breath and thought to herself, "In this life, I will not let you succeed again."
