Chapter 2: Disaster Star Physique

The neighbors who came to watch the commotion were all frightened by Grandma Su's blood-covered, fierce and terrifying appearance.

After reacting, they hurriedly went to stop her: "Grandma, the child doesn't understand; you just need to discipline her properly—what are you doing?"

Grandma Su was so furious she felt like tearing Su Ruo's heart out, but with so many people blocking her, no matter how hard she struggled she couldn't break free.

With so many people holding her back, Grandma Su knew she couldn't continue beating Su Ruo today, so she simply threw the broom in her hand to the ground and sat down, wailing.

"What misfortune for our family! What evil deed have we, the old Su family, committed to have produced such a jinx?"

"From the moment she was born she killed her grandfather, and now she's even killed her son and daughter-in-law; if she stays in this house any longer, I fear even I, the old woman, won't survive."

"Even if my old bones die, it doesn't matter; I just fear she'll bring disaster to my eldest son's family, for I have only this one son left—if anything happens to him, even in death I couldn't face our ancestors."

"So I thought, if we can't beat her we can at least avoid her—let her go to the countryside, we'll stay far away, just to have a couple of peaceful days."

"Who would have thought this girl would refuse, and even beat my old woman and her eldest cousin to this state?"

Everyone looked at Grandma Su and Su Da Bao, at her blood-covered head and the messy room, and their expressions were all shocked.

But it's for revenge—those who harmed her in her past life are all there, and in this life Su Ruo will absolutely not let them off; she will return everything they did to her in her past life.

The Su family's girl is rather evil—whoever touches her meets misfortune, and they know that, but they don't believe Su Ruo would have beaten Grandma Su and Su Da Bao.

"You wretched girl, if anything happens to your cousin, I'll skin you alive!"

Grandma Su didn't know what Su Ruo was thinking; seeing Su Ruo agree, she was about to pull Su Ruo outside.

After Grandma Su left, the people around gave Su Ruo a few more words of advice, then dispersed.

Grandma Su's originally smug expression froze the moment she heard those words.

She spoke harshly but was weak inside: "Dead girl, I only scolded you twice—how did that become promoting feudal superstition? Don't give me that nonsense; just tell me whether you'll go to the countryside in place of your eldest cousin."

After all, with Su Ruo's frail little frame that could be knocked over by a breeze, how could she possibly beat the strong and sturdy Grandma Su and Su Da Bao?

Especially after the Su couple died unexpectedly, the surrounding neighbors grew increasingly wary of Su Ruo, fearing that even a hint of contact would bring misfortune upon themselves.

"And I have come now only to help you, Host, set things right and reclaim your own fortune."

001's mechanical reply: "Host, I am not just anything; I am a system that can still assist the master and defy heaven to change fate."

"System, system?" Su Ruo called twice in her mind with her consciousness.

But from the moment of her birth, her identity was swapped, her destiny rewritten, her fortune stolen, and she ultimately ended up as a tragic cannon fodder.

After Su Ruo finished speaking, not only Grandma Su but even the onlooking neighbors let out a sigh of relief.

Su Ruo's reason for choosing to go to the countryside and return to that place is not because she fears Grandma Su.

"Alright, I promise Grandma, I'll go to the countryside in place of my eldest cousin."

Su Ruo looked at Grandma Su and said, "Grandma, promoting feudal culture is illegal; if your words today get out..."

At this moment Su Ruo also stepped forward from behind the crowd and weakly explained: "Grandma, the wound on your head came from something falling and hitting you; your eldest cousin's injury was from you hitting him; the things in the room were knocked over because you were trying to hit me and I accidentally bumped into them—I didn't hit you at all."

After everyone had left, Su Ruo returned home, locked the door, and began to study the system that had suddenly appeared in her mind.

Su Ruo's gaze flicked over the faces of the surrounding aunts and women; seeing them all lower their heads and avoid her eyes was no surprise, after all she had experienced this many times in her past life, and now she wouldn't be hurt again by outsiders' attitudes.

Grandma Su also stopped crying, her eyes fierce as she snapped at Su Ruo: "Isn't it because you're this broom star? If it weren't for you harming us, whoever touches you suffers misfortune—how could we possibly get hurt!"

Su Ruo quickly grasped the key point in what 001 had said: it turned out her miserable end in her past life wasn't because she was born unlucky, but because someone had deliberately designed it, right?

001 immediately said: "May I ask, Host, what are your orders?"

Then they had someone help Su Da Bao up and rushed him to the hospital.

Upon hearing this, everyone also understood what the truth was; although they felt Su Ruo was somewhat pitiable, thinking of her evil physique they still subconsciously kept a little distance.

"I'm telling you, if you dare not go, don't expect to have any good days from now on."

"The reason I chose you as my master is because you are originally the chosen daughter of this small world; your life should have been one of great wealth and honor, smooth and prosperous."

"Come on, let's go register at the Educated Youth office right now."

Grandma Su only then realized what had happened; seeing Su Da Bao lying on the ground, his head covered in blood, clutching his groin and constantly moaning, she immediately felt heartbroken and cursed furiously:

After all, human nature is selfish; even if they felt Su Ruo was pitiable, nobody wants to live next to a disaster star who kills her father and mother! Now that Su Ruo has even killed her parents, and everyone lives so close, who knows whether bad luck might spread to their own homes.

Su Ruo avoided Grandma Su's hand: "Grandma, registering can wait—you should first check on your eldest cousin; he looks like he's in a lot of pain."

Although the neighbors present felt sympathy for Su Ruo, not a single one stepped forward to speak up for her.

Su Ruo frowned slightly and asked, "What exactly are you, and why have you chosen me?"

"You mean my true identity isn't that of the Su family's daughter, but that from birth my identity was swapped, and that person not only stole my identity but also took my fortune! That's why I've become so unlucky, right?"

"Yes, Host," the mechanical 001 replied.

"Who is that person?" Su Ruo asked through gritted teeth; in her previous life she had thought it was due to her own bad fate that she endured those torments, but now that she knows it was all deliberately schemed by someone, how could she not hate!
