Shu Huaping was like a plagued orange. From outside she looked like a delicious and appealing orange, but if you were to touch it you will know that on the inside she was hollow. Her family did not even saw her as human; she was more like a display doll only created to show off in the face of other elite families. She was caged in the path that her family created for her even before she was born. When she finished high school, everyone admired her since she was the perfect lady, and even she was the fiance of the heir form the most prominent family in the country, but she was tired. Tired of always doing what people told her. Tired of pretending to be someone she wasn't. Tired of just being a trade tool in her family. Tired of just living. But she never thought of suicide. That was the easy way out of things and it would not change anything.

"Hey, have you heard that Shu Huaping again got first place in the National Examination?" Student A said with admiration in her eyes.

"Well, we are talking of that Shu Huaping. It would be weird if she didn't get first place. You are a little late in the news. What is an unexpected news is that she failed to enter to the top University in the Country. It appears that she turned in a blanc answer sheet" Student B said in schadenfreude.

"The one that is late in the news is you. Didn't you know that Shu Huaping was accepted to the top university of X country? Obviously, she would give a blanc paper since we are talking about X country most respected university. In her eyes out top university is garbage. I'm sure she only went for courtesy."

**********************************

In the Shu Mansion.

"WHAT KIND OF RESULTS ARE THESE?! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH FACE YOU MADE ME LOSE? OF COURSE YOU DON'T YOU ARE JUST A PIECE OF GARBAGE THAT COULD NOT EVEN ACE THE ACCEPTANCE EXAM FOR A SMALL UNIVERSITY!" Mr. Shu was completely mad and irrational at the moment.And when she saw that Shu Huaping did not respond, he grabbed the ashtray and threw it at her.

Seeing the ashtray coming to her face Shu Huaping did not hesitate to dodge the projectile. When Mr. Shu saw that he did not hit her she got even angrier and began to throw at her all the things that were near him.

"YOU ARE JUST A LITTLE BITCH. IF IT WERE NOT FOR ME WHO PICK YOU UP, YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN LONG DEAD, AND IF THAT DAMMED OLD MAN ENGAGING YOU TO THE MENG FAMILY, YOU WOULD NOT BE OF ANY USE TO ME. WHY DIDN'T YOU DIED ALSO WITH THAT BITCH OF A MOTHER." That was it. That was the line that people could not cross, and he was already a mile inside. Shu Huanping's hand was bleeding, and her nails were perforating her palm, but she can do nothing. She doesn't even have the power to defend her deceased mother, so she just turned around and left.

"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?I HAVEN'T FINISHED TALKING...YOU...BI...KILL.." As she walked away from the mansion Mr. Shu voice became lower and lower until she could not hear it anymore. Just as she got out of the Mansion, she got a text from her "friends" from school asking her if she wanted to go shopping with them. She did not think much and just told them that she would be there.

"Haaa~ I'm so tired already, and it had only been 18 years" 

Shu Huaping spent the whole afternoon with her so-called friends spending money like crazy. When they were walking to another store she sees that a kid was running after a ball. Her mother was on the phone, and she did not notice it. The light turned green and the cars seem to not have seen her.

Shu Huaping thought that it could be a good idea to die saving someone and did not think twice when she jumped to save the child. She graved the kid by the arm and threw her to her mother side, but since the inertia did not let her stop on time, she was not able to get out of danger.

Crash

When she got hit by the car, she did not feel pain, but a yearned calmness. "Finally, I can get some rest."

Just as she was closing her eyes to rest forever a voice sounded in her head.

[Finally, Xiao Meng found you, host]

'What was that voice? Well, it doesn't matter anymore.'

Shu Huaping, the respected, admired, and envied the first daughter of the conglomerate Shu, died.

Or so she thought.
