Synopsis: Gu Cheng, who had lived for twenty years, never imagined that she would wake up one day to find herself transformed into a girl, and the next day, she was even confronted at her home by relevant personnel.

He thought he could wreak havoc after awakening his lightning powers, but ended up being almost at the bottom among a group of powerful opponents.

Gu Cheng: "?"

When we first met, weren't you the aloof goddess type?

This is a 1v1 romance novel featuring rock sugar and oranges. It's not a harem story and is best enjoyed as a pure romance novel.

Section 1, Chapter 1: Awakening

The blood-red setting sun lost its light, and the noisy city returned to darkness.

On a secluded street corner, an SUV rolled up its window, and the car stereo was playing jazz music on a saxophone, which sounded quite old.

The driver was a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, wearing a black trench coat. He was tall with well-defined features, and his slight stubble was neatly groomed. As soon as one song ended, his pale fingers lightly pressed a button, switching the song to upbeat pop music.

The streetlights came on, and the city awoke once more under the artificial light. "I'm changing the song~." In the passenger seat was a young woman in her early twenties, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt that perfectly accentuated her bust, and matching athletic shorts that revealed her fair knees and slender calves.

"Mmm." Zhou Li smiled and agreed in a deep, indulgent voice. A moment later, the back door opened and a figure slipped in, about sixteen or seventeen years old, still looking quite young.

"Why did Director Song let you participate?" Zhou Li turned to him, frowning as he asked. "I'll be an adult next year, so I'm just getting used to the work process with you guys first," the boy replied excitedly, his voice brimming with barely concealed excitement.

Considering Director Song's meaning, Zhou Li swallowed hard, and the words that were stuck in his throat turned into a few words of advice. "Don't move around when you get to the scene, pay attention to safety, and follow Captain Su's instructions."

"learn."

"Fasten your seatbelt first."

The car sped through the streets, finally coming to a stop on a dimly lit old street. Zhou Li pulled a long knife wrapped in gauze from a compartment between the seats, pushed open the door, and got out. Yellow roadblocks indicating construction were placed at the street entrance, with professionals controlling the scene nearby. After verifying their identities, Zhou Li and his companions were allowed to proceed.

"Team Leader Su." The woman addressed as Team Leader Su was strikingly beautiful, with a delicately sculpted face. A black knit top covered her upper body, revealing her exquisite collarbones. She had a curvaceous figure, and her long, slender legs were visible beneath her sky-blue shorts.

She stood in the dim light, exuding an elegant aura. Hearing Zhou Li's words, the woman turned her head, raising her cool, clear eyes. "We're late," she said calmly.

Meanwhile, just two hundred meters away, a disheveled figure staggered up the stairs, each step seeming like walking on a knife's edge. The stairwell was pitch black, and Gu Chengyan could only rely on his memory to navigate in the dark.

Reaching the door, his trembling hand pulled the key from his pocket, but after several attempts, it wouldn't go in. The metal clanged together with a sharp sound, accompanied by a blue electric current.

"Cough cough..." The door opened, and he quickly covered his mouth and pushed the door open. Blood seeped from between his fingers, and he used the last bit of strength in his calves to collapse onto the bed.

A viscous liquid soaked into his body, and a strong smell of rust entered his lungs through his nasal cavity. His limbs were cold, but his chest was rapidly warming up. Gu Chengyan felt as if countless wriggling worms were growing inside his internal organs, their sharp mouthparts gnawing at any visible veins and flesh.

The intense pain did not bring clarity to his mind; instead, it made him even more listless. His limbs felt as if they were being crushed by a heavy object, almost numb yet also accompanied by a faint tingling sensation.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of breaking drowned out the incessant tinnitus. A flash of white light appeared before Gu Chengyan's eyes, and his consciousness was released, plunging into darkness. Outside the window, all was quiet. A gentle breeze rustled the blinds, and moonlight filtered through the murky air, falling on the edge of the bed.

......

"Ding ding~" After turning off his phone alarm, Gu Chengyan forced himself to sit up and slowly opened his eyes. The white sheets were stained red with liquid, and there were dried bloodstains on the floor.

Upon seeing this, he suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly sat up straight, and his joints made cracking sounds all over his body.

"Ugh..." An involuntary gasp escaped his lips, his voice lacking its usual deepness, a hint of sharpness mixed with gentleness. Strands of hair tangled around his ears, and something seemed to be pressing against his chest. A sense of foreboding crept into his heart. His hands reached up to his upper body, his fingertips touching a delicate and soft texture. Even the slightest touch sent a chill down Gu Chengyan's spine.

Moving downwards, across his flat stomach, he found it completely empty. Perhaps he hadn't gotten out of bed properly; Gu Chengyan wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.

It wasn't a hallucination; a faint, fishy smell still lingered in the air. He rolled off the bed and limped into the bathroom, bracing himself against the vanity. The mirror reflected his entire upper body. His hair was just past his shoulders, his facial features were soft, and his chest was noticeably rounded, with two mounds covering the exposed skin.

Gu Chengyan reached out and gently touched it, and the thin film clinging to his skin peeled off with the movement. A woman...a woman? He turned on the shower in the bathroom, and a trickle of water slid down his hair, washing away the sticky dirt and discomfort along with it.

Apart from the old scar on his waist, there were no obvious wounds... Hiss, Gu Chengyan's hands did not stop exploring his body, gently touching certain sensitive areas and even sending a tingling sensation through him, which also made his face feel a little hot.

The old-fashioned solar water heater stopped working after a short while. Gu Chengyan dried himself with a towel and went to the mirror again to check. His clean body was like a peeled egg, his fair skin radiating the luster of jade, his eyes clear and sparkling. His expressionless face added a touch of elegance. His long, slender legs and flat stomach revealed healthy abs.

He gently pinched his own cheek, the soft, yielding touch making him want to let go. The girl in the mirror did the same, her expressionless face revealing a hint of cuteness. Gu Chengyan shook his head, suppressing the strange thoughts in his mind.

Back in the bedroom, I removed the blood-stained sheets. The blankets inside were soaked in blood and unusable, so I simply packed them up with the dirty clothes I had changed out of to dispose of them.

The bloodstains on the floor had dried. She cleaned them up with a mop, opened the window, and blew out the strong smell. She grabbed a shirt and put it on, the cuffs covering her wrists and revealing her slender fingers. The two prominent nipples on her chest rubbed against the fabric, causing a slight stinging sensation. The oversized men's shirt looked somewhat awkward on a woman.

"Buzz buzz buzz~" She had just changed her clothes when her phone on the locker vibrated. The caller ID showed "Manager." Gu Chengyan worked as a waitress in a restaurant; her salary wasn't high, but it was enough for her to make ends meet. She instinctively put her index finger on the back of the phone, but fingerprint authentication failed... The call didn't go through; instead, it asked for a manual password unlock. Frowning slightly, she swiped a "7" on the screen to unlock it.

"Where is he? And the electric bikes are stuck in traffic? The store is busy, when will he arrive?" came the anxious voice of the store manager on the other end of the phone.

After much deliberation, Gu Chengyan explained in a hoarse voice, "I...I have a fever, I really can't go today." His voice was weak and listless, and he did indeed sound unwell. The person on the other end of the phone didn't say much, just advised him to take good care of himself before hurriedly hanging up.

Gu Chengyan breathed a sigh of relief. He opened his phone's messaging app and sent an apology, but perhaps the other party was too busy and didn't reply. He then switched to fingerprint recognition in the security settings, tried several times, but all attempts failed. Even the fingerprint had changed. Gu Chengyan muttered to himself, rummaged through a drawer for a pair of scissors, and cut a small piece of the bloodstained sheet to keep safe.

After tidying up the house, she slumped onto the sofa, sorting through the details of her transformation. She finished work at seven, then rode her bike to the cold drink wholesale market, followed by the Sunshine Welfare Home, staying until it was completely dark. Around eight o'clock, she finally walked home along the street... and then? Her memories, like a cassette tape projector, abruptly stopped in a blank space.

My mind was hazy, and most of the details had become blurred, leaving only the last scene that I could barely recall. The silvery moon, the swaying old streetlights, and the elongated shadows cast by the flickering orange light.

After much thought, still without a clue, Gu Chengyan began to consider her current situation. Her face now bore only a slight resemblance to her former self, and her ID card was invalid. She had roughly measured herself in the mirror earlier; her current height was at most 1.7 meters, at least seven or eight centimeters shorter than before. Furthermore, a woman's figure is difficult to conceal, so her job at the shop was essentially gone. Fortunately, she still had several thousand yuan in her bank account, enough to keep her from starving immediately. Thus, her situation was far from optimistic: lacking the necessary documents, she couldn't prove her identity.

Basically, he's an unregistered resident who's just sitting around doing nothing. Hmm... maybe we can be a little more confident and remove "basically" too.

First, he would follow the route he took back yesterday to look for clues. If he could remember what happened last night, he might be able to find a way to turn back. Although he really didn't want to go out in this state, he had no choice but to try anything at this point. Gu Chengyan put on his coat and a large baseball cap, and after confirming that his attire was correct, he pushed open the door.

Arriving at the entrance on the first floor, the spot where the car should have been parked was completely empty. The little donkey she'd bought for over two thousand yuan was gone just like that; Gu Chengyan felt her heart bleed. Fortunately, the place she needed to go wasn't far, and walking there wouldn't be a problem, she could only console herself with that thought.

It was nearly noon when they set off. The plane trees lining both sides of the street were lush and green, and pedestrians walked in twos and threes along the side, using the shade to block out the sun. Compared to the midday sun, the subtle glances cast at him by the people around him made Gu Chengyan feel even more irritated.

Perhaps it was psychological, but these gazes seemed to carry a sense of inquiry, as if they could penetrate clothing and reach the heart.

"Why are you looking at me? I didn't eat your rice..." Gu Chengyan lowered the brim of her hat, feeling a little guilty as she continued walking. Huaixin Road, her final stop on her way home.

Comparing her memories to the present, Gu Chengyan wandered the streets for a long time, finally stopping in a secluded corner. The scene before her matched her memories; she was certain this was the last place she could still remember. But... nothing happened. It was as if a crucial component was missing, and her entire memory system had stalled.

"Gurgle~" My stomach rumbled at the worst possible time. I hadn't eaten anything since morning, and the hunger pangs surged back as soon as I stopped. The future is uncertain, but I shouldn't forget the hardships of the present.

Gu Chengyan adjusted his hat, turned into a small shop on the street corner, sat down, and ordered a bowl of ramen.

Section 2, Chapter Two: Confession

On the other side of the city, a middle-aged man sat at a desk. He was thin but not frail. He wore a black coat, had a sharp face, and his hair was tinged with gray at the ends.

On the desk sat a transparent ashtray and a pack of cheap cigarettes. The computer screen was in standby mode, and a report with black text on a white background lay beneath a pair of flat-framed black glasses. The man put on the glasses, took a cigarette from the pack, tucked it into his hand, and carefully examined the documents.

"At 20:19 PM, an unknown crack was detected on Huaixin Road in the Dongcheng District of Lanjiang City. It was initially determined to be a very weak cocoon. Relevant personnel rushed to the scene."

"At 20:32 PM, the crack signal disappeared. The reason for the disappearance is unknown. The original plan remains unchanged."

"The response team arrived at the scene at 20:55 PM and detected a trace amount of residual magnetic field. No combat occurred, and there were no casualties among the team members. The relevant items have been retrieved..."

The report is dated June 1, 2089, in the bottom right corner, which is yesterday.

The man pondered for a while before slowly withdrawing his gaze. "Snap." He rubbed the lighter in his hand, letting the flame ignite the cigarette between his fingers, and took a deep drag.

The crack disappeared in less than fifteen minutes; the person who handled it should have been on site immediately. The man stood up, took a marker from the pen holder, and began circling on a large map on the wall. Huaixin Road is located at the easternmost part of Dongcheng District, an extremely remote old street near the suburbs, lined with numerous old houses available for rent, and populated by a diverse and disorganized population. If Huaixin Road is taken as the center... those who could likely be on site immediately are probably residents from the surrounding area.

Having figured this out, the man put down his pen, took out his phone from his pocket, and made a call.

"Send me the information of residents near Huaixin Road in Dongcheng District." He paused and added, "Also, help me notify the police to prepare manpower and keep a close eye on recent missing persons reports, especially in Dongcheng District." After saying that, he leaned against the window until his cigarette burned out.

......

"Your noodles~" In the noisy noodle shop, the aroma of steaming beef noodles wafted over, and Gu Chengyan, who had been hungry all morning, quickly picked up his chopsticks.

She's a regular at this noodle shop; sometimes when she gets home late and doesn't feel like cooking, she'll grab a bowl of noodles on her way.

I've only eaten a little bit today, but I already feel very full.

She couldn't eat anymore. Looking at the half-eaten noodles in her bowl, Gu Chengyan could only helplessly accept the fact that her appetite had become more feminine.

She sighed softly. At least a reduced appetite meant less daily expenses, which wasn't a bad thing for her now.

The girl left the noodle shop somewhat dejectedly and waited for her ride under the shade of a tree.

Huaixin Road is located in a remote area. After the peak hours, the huge street appears particularly empty, with only the rustling of leaves.

She was lucky today; a taxi came towards her not long after she arrived.

"Where to?" The driver, with a full beard, spoke, his chubby cheeks jiggling as he spoke. Gu Chengyan glanced at his taxi driver's license, then got in. "To the Sunshine Welfare Home."

The driver looked burly, but he drove smoothly and steadily. Gu Chengyan sat in the back seat, leaning against the door, gazing thoughtfully at the scenery outside the window.

Sunshine Welfare Home is a state-owned institution. Although it is small in size, it is still fully equipped. Gu Chengyan has very late memories, the earliest being elementary school, when he lived here. The director of the welfare home, surnamed Xu, is over sixty years old but still very energetic.

When he was still in the welfare home, Gu Chengyan would consult the director beforehand and make decisions based on his opinion.

What happened this morning was completely beyond her comprehension. Instead of messing around on her own, she should consult an experienced elder.

"We're here. 11.5 yuan." Upon arriving at his destination, Gu Chengyan paid the fare and got out of the car. Before he could even thank the driver, the taxi started up again, disappearing into the distance with a trail of exhaust fumes.

I gently knocked on the side door of the welfare home, waking up the security guard who was taking a nap leaning against the table.

Upon recognizing the person, he cleared his throat and asked, "Hello, may I ask who you are here for...?"

Gu Chengyan paused for a moment before replying, "Gu Chengyan asked me to come and see Dean Xu. I am his... um, friend." It seemed that only this identity was suitable.

The security guard glanced at her a few times and, seeing that although she was a stranger, she was pretty and didn't seem like a bad person, he let her in without much thought and even warmly told her the approximate location of the dean's office.

"Thank you." Fortunately, he didn't pursue the matter further, and Gu Chengyan secretly rejoiced as he walked along the lawn.

The security guard, seeing her walk away, dialed the director's cell phone. "Director Xu, a girl went to your place and said she knows Xiaoyan. I'm guessing she's his girlfriend." Gu Chengyan's social circle wasn't large; this was the first time he'd managed to find a female friend from the orphanage.

"Girlfriend? He didn't mention her at all yesterday, haha." Dean Xu put down his newspaper, took a sip of goji berry tea, and chuckled on the other end of the phone. After chatting for a while, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." The girl responded and pushed open the door. Dean Xu stood up to greet her, while subtly observing the girl in front of him. She had long, smooth, black hair, a slender and charming figure, and fair skin that exuded youthful vigor. She was a very pretty girl, but her clothes were a bit strange.

"Sit down. I heard from the security guard that you are Xiaoyan's friend."

The girl sat down facing him, holding onto the chair. She didn't reply, but instead lowered her head shyly, her eyes darting around. Dean Xu noticed the girl's nervousness and was about to say something when Gu Chengyan bit her lip and spoke first.

"I am Gu Chengyan..." His voice was soft but clear enough for everyone to hear.

A tingling sensation ran through Gu Chengyan's heart, and his face flushed slightly. A feeling of shame instantly overwhelmed him.

"What do you mean?" After waiting for a while, the girl still didn't say anything, just staring intently at the tiles on the ground. Dean Xu thought he hadn't heard her clearly, so he asked again.
