The White Lotus Female Lead's Self-Redemption [Transmigration] - Chapter 1

Xu Zhaogu pinched her own cheek in the mirror, feeling a sense of disbelief. The person in the mirror looked like her, yet was also very different.

Xu Zhaogu was a naturally sweet-looking girl, but her true personality was particularly mischievous and lively. With her sweet, harmless face, she had received countless compliments from elders, and every New Year, the red packets she received were double what the other children in the family got.

However, the person in the mirror had more delicate features, and her skin was incredibly fair. She had wispy, “air” bangs, and her eye sockets were still red, radiating an indescribable, fragile beauty.

“Hello, Host. I am System 0516. I am your good partner and your assistant for completing future missions.”

“Please choose now whether to receive the original plotline.”

Xu Zhaogu patted her face, suppressing the feeling of absurdity. “Go ahead and tell me.”

“Xu Zhaogu is a white lotus who appears gentle and kind but is actually vicious and dark-hearted. She charms everyone, driving a host of men crazy for her. She eventually defeats the female antagonist, Ji Ruowei, and ends up with the male lead, Fu Xueyu.”

Xu Zhaogu watched the female lead, who shared her name, use all sorts of schemes, and her mood was quite complicated. Although she also liked to use small schemes, it was always for things like charming elders, not to harm others.

This was the first time she had seen such a manipulative girl, and now, she had become that person.

After she finished reviewing the plot, Xu Zhaogu’s only thought was “Heh,” completely unable to imagine that she had to become a person like this.

“Host, please note: You cannot deviate from the plot. You cannot let your character persona collapse.”

“I absolutely have to follow this kind of plot?” No, no, no. She was a good kid with a firm moral foundation and proper values!

“I don’t care how you do it; I only look at the result.” The system sounded even more impatient than she did. “I’ll tell you a trick.”

“Tell me.” Xu Zhaogu blinked expectantly. She really couldn’t handle this kind of plot.

“Do the missions.”

“It mainly relies on your talent.”

“…”

“And then?”

“There’s no ‘then’.” 0516 said this dryly, and as if afraid she would go back on her word, it quickly added, “I’m very busy and won’t appear under normal circumstances. Don’t look for me. I’m just a legend.”

“Alright, goodbye.”

“Hey…” Before Xu Zhaogu could finish her sentence, 0516 went silent. When she called out again, only the initial system, loaded with a certain shopping app’s customer service voice, replied.

“Hello, dear. May I help you with anything?”

Dear my foot.

Xu Zhaogu silently braced herself. She had been through all kinds of trouble. As long as she could return home, acting was acting.

A drama queen is absolutely not afraid!

Just as she was thinking this, there was a knock on the door, which was then quickly slammed open with great force, and several people rushed in.

The person at the front was a girl. When she saw Xu Zhaogu, her eyes turned red with anger. “Xu Linyi, you explain to me clearly, who is this woman?”

Xu Zhaogu was utterly confused. However, her wrist was grabbed roughly, and the pain quickly brought tears to her eyes. This body was too sensitive; she felt pain from such a small amount of force.

“There’s really nothing between us, Qinqin. Let go of her quickly.” Xu Linyi saw the tears welling up in Xu Zhaogu’s eyes and immediately told his girlfriend to release her.

Xia Qin and Xu Linyi’s relationship was pretty good. She hadn’t believed her boyfriend would cheat, but someone had sent her photos showing Xu Linyi entering a hotel with a woman.

She was skeptical, but she didn’t expect to actually find her boyfriend here, along with the woman from the photos. And now, her boyfriend was protecting that woman.

Xia Qin was furious. “There’s nothing between you? Then why are you in a hotel with her? Why are you both wearing bathrobes?”

Xu Zhaogu looked down. She was indeed wearing a bathrobe. It wasn’t long, reaching only to her knees, exposing her slender, straight legs and her delicate, pink, rounded toes.

After her initial confusion, Xu Zhaogu quickly realized what was happening. Xu Linyi was one of the boys the original female lead had flirted with; he was her senior in college. However, the female lead hadn’t been interested in him later, so she just flirted a few times and then abandoned him.

Xu Linyi’s girlfriend, Xia Qin, was also Xu Zhaogu’s senior.

Wait, hadn’t the original text barely mentioned Xu Linyi’s girlfriend?

Xu Zhaogu only had a moment to be surprised before she immediately blinked, and tears streamed down her cheeks. “Senior Sister, you’re hurting me. Please let go first, okay?”

“You know pain too? You tramp!” Xia Qin tried to reach out and slap her, but Xu Linyi stopped her.

“That’s enough, Qinqin, stop making a scene. Xiaozhao is a member of the Student Union office. We just ran into each other and talked for a bit. I accidentally spilled milk tea on her, so I had no choice but to bring her here to change clothes.”

“Who are you trying to fool? You can’t go back home to change, you have to come to a hotel?”

Xu Zhaogu secretly curled her lips. Because the original host wanted to flirt with Xu Linyi, of course she had to bring him to a hotel.

“Senior Sister, there’s really nothing between the Senior and me. Please don’t misunderstand.” Xu Zhaogu bit her lip and looked at Xu Linyi with a hesitant gaze. “I’m sorry, Senior. This is my fault.”

“It has nothing to do with you, Xiaozhao. I’m the one who owes you. You go and change your clothes first.”

Because the original host had told Xu Linyi that she had an urgent event, he bought the clothes and brought her to the hotel. After the original host’s persistent persuasion, he also took a shower himself.

Xia Qin tried to grab Xu Zhaogu again but was stopped by Xu Linyi. “That’s enough. Stop making trouble. Will you listen to my explanation?”

When Xu Zhaogu came out changed, Xia Qin was sitting to one side, looking at her with hostile eyes.

Xu Zhaogu looked hesitant. “Thank you, Senior. I’ll take the dirty clothes with me. Please explain everything properly to Senior Sister. I have something to do, so I’ll leave now.”

“Go ahead.” Xu Linyi’s gaze lingered on her. The dress suited her quite well. When he bought it, he had only glanced at it quickly but felt it would be very suitable. It proved he was right.

Xu Zhaogu felt his gaze. She looked nervously at Xia Qin. “Senior Sister, I’m sorry for causing you trouble.”

Xia Qin didn’t miss Xu Linyi’s stare. She was furious but had become very calm. “You can leave.”

Xu Zhaogu left the hotel with a quiet and graceful expression on her face, but she was raging inside.

“I don’t think he’s a good person either. He dared to look at me like that right in front of his girlfriend. And he agreed to come to the hotel before, so he probably had some ideas.”

“I’m sorry, dear. I don’t quite understand that.”

“You shut up.”

Xu Zhaogu rolled her eyes in an un-elegant fashion. What a trash system. She didn’t know which company developed it, but it was going to anger her to death one day.
