I raised stunning young ladies, but they all wanted to possess me.

Gu Yan instantly snapped back to reality, her hand jerking back as if burned, and she hurriedly stood up.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to."

"I was thinking about something and didn't see where I was going. I'm really sorry."

Only then did he see clearly the person he had knocked down.

She was a young girl who looked quite young, wearing black-rimmed glasses that almost covered half of her face, and her hair was loose and disheveled.

Wearing a very ordinary oversized white T-shirt and dark trousers, she was scrambling to her feet, head down, not daring to look at him.

Her cheeks and ears were so red they looked like they were about to bleed, and her big eyes behind her glasses were filled with a layer of aggrieved tears.

Her panda...

Even under that oversized T-shirt, the breathtaking grasp just now and the still astonishing curve...

All of them clearly show how many fouls were committed.

The size of a normal male's palm.

It's wrong to let go...

and many more!

Gu Yan shook her head sharply, banishing this inappropriate thought.

wrong!

This plot... it's so similar to a classic scene from anime!

That's ridiculous!

Seeing that the girl was just lowering her head, her shoulders trembling slightly with embarrassment, looking like she was about to cry, Gu Yan panicked even more.

"Um... my name is Gu Yan, and I'm a new tenant who just moved into this building."

He quickly took out his phone and showed her the address information Chen Sinian had sent him, trying to prove that he wasn't intentionally being a scoundrel. "Look, the address is here, 301."

"I really didn't see the road clearly..."

The girl timidly raised her head, glanced quickly at Gu Yan's phone screen, and then lowered her head like a frightened little rabbit.

"It's...it's okay...it was my accident..."

"That address... if I'm not mistaken, is right next to my house."

"Next to 301 is 302... I, I live in 302."

"Are you... are you my new neighbor?"

Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, with a slightly nasal tone.

Gu Yan was taken aback.

This girl... forgave him so easily?

And they're neighbors?

His gaze unconsciously swept over the girl's stunning curves, which couldn't be concealed even under her loose clothing, and the uneasy feeling in his heart grew stronger.

He always felt he should get to know this girl.

It wasn't the kind of acquaintance you get from meeting in person, but rather a more vague kind of understanding...

A sense of familiarity from the depths of memory.

He must have seen her somewhere before.

"Hello. I don't know your name yet. What... is your name?"

Thinking of this, Gu Yan composed herself and tried her best to look natural.

The girl glanced up at him quickly, then looked down again.

Perhaps it was because Gu Yan was so beautiful, and her pale and sickly appearance didn't seem aggressive, making her look like a bad person.

She hesitated for a moment, then answered timidly in a voice barely audible:

"...Shen, Shen Youyao."

Shen Youyao.

These three words struck Gu Yan like three thunderbolts!

His pupils contracted sharply, and the color drained from his face instantly, leaving only astonishment and disbelief.

Shen Youyao!

This name... represents the first, and most tragic, and most heartbreaking female protagonist in that female-oriented ensemble novel!

Gu Yan remembered her story very clearly, because he felt so breathless and short of breath when he read it that he almost gave up on the book.

Shen Youyao was born with heterochromia, one eye blue and the other red, and was regarded as an ominous bastard by her superstitious parents.

When she was ten years old, her biological parents abandoned her with her distant cousin like trash.

A woman who lives off a man and has a chaotic private life becomes an adopted daughter.

My foster mother wasn't a good person either; she often brought different men home and would get drunk and cause trouble until midnight.

He even frequently berated Shen Youyao and forced her to solicit clients.

Shen Youyao grew up in an environment filled with the smell of cheap cigarettes and alcohol, foul language, and ambiguous sounds.

She was timid and insecure, like moss hiding in a corner, concealing herself with thick glasses and oversized clothes.

Strangely enough, even in such a muddy and filthy environment, she still maintained a clean and pure bottom line in her heart.

She knows what she wants and what she doesn't want.

Even when she was trembling with fear, she never tried to please those men; she just tried her best to shrink herself down even further.

Hua Heng was the only light in her gloomy world.

They were neighbors and childhood sweethearts.

Hua Heng is the perfect child – good grades, handsome, and skilled in kung fu.

He would occasionally help her chase away thugs blocking the road, would casually bring her a cheap piece of candy, and would give her that sunny, clean smile that belonged to a good student.

For Shen Youyao, Huaheng was the only warmth and hope in her barren life.

She secretly liked him, seeing him as the prince who would save her, even if it was just a fantasy.

But the heroine's fate is always fraught with malice.

The son of a powerful underworld figure from Shanghai, whom her adoptive mother brought back, a man named Wang Hu, has his eye on her.

Although Shen Youyao was timid and had low self-esteem, her face, which was hidden by her glasses, and her precocious figure could not be concealed.

That day, my adoptive mother went out to play cards again.

Wang Hu, reeking of alcohol and lewdly grinning, kicked open her bedroom door.

Shen Youyao was terrified and struggled desperately, crying and screaming.

She heard noises coming from Hua Heng's house next door.

He must have heard her! Like someone grasping at a straw, she cried out with all her might, "Brother Huaheng! Save me! Brother Huaheng—!"

The noise from next door stopped for a moment.

Then... the footsteps faded into the distance.

Hua Heng is gone.

He heard it.

He must have heard it.

But he hesitated; he was afraid of getting into trouble, so he... left.

Shen Youyao's world completely collapsed on that day.

The suffering has not ended, it has only begun.

In order to show off his skills in front of his brothers, Wang Hu even pushed the numb and abused Shen Youyao to his equally despicable brothers like a piece of merchandise after drinking one night...

Day after day of darkness, humiliation, and despair.

She was like a tattered rag doll, trampled on at will.

Hua Heng had several opportunities to save her.

When she saw Wang Hu and his men surrounding her with ill intentions, when she heard her suppressed sobs, and even when she later noticed that something was increasingly wrong with her...

But each time, due to various concerns and his inherent cowardice, he chose to turn away and turn a blind eye.

In the end, Shen Youyao became pregnant due to being hurt by too many people, and then miscarried during another brutal treatment, collapsing in a pool of blood.

The extreme pain and despair finally shattered her last vestige of personality.

She awakened.

It's not a cure, it's utter destruction.

The second personality—the six-pointed star with bloodshot eyes—has arrived.

Violent, bloodthirsty, possessing the terrifying power of Heaven's Punishment, similar to Susanoo.

Those who bullied her, mocked her, and stood by indifferently...

One by one, they died in the most tragic way.

And it was only then that Shen Youyao, her hands stained with blood and her eyes vacant, stood on the ruins.

Hua Heng, who had always been cowardly and evasive, finally came to his senses, ran over in tears, and said he would use love to influence her and never leave her...
