After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 584 Effort-Type Player

Chapter 584: Chapter 584 Effort-Type Player

Speaking of which, Shi Yaoguang truly did not have much respect for Heavenly Dao.

Strictly speaking, it was not just this world’s Heavenly Dao she looked down upon.

But any Heavenly Dao that used love-drenched brains to carry the world’s energy.

Why should people be sacrificed just for the sake of the hero and heroine’s love?

Is the life of the hero and heroine worth more, while everyone else deserves to live like weeds?

Little did she know, Heavenly Dao actually harbored some regrets.

He regretted, not because he felt sorry for the common people.

But because he felt...

Sorry for himself.

If he had known that a freak like Shi Yaoguang would emerge in a world of love-drenched brains, he would not have chosen to be one in the first place.

Now look, when the hero and heroine encountered trouble, they simply couldn’t handle it.

For him, such a situation was undoubtedly humiliating.

Because of this.

He decided to change direction.

If love-drenched brains didn’t work, then this time he would choose someone capable.

For this purpose, he specifically selected a new heroine.

He even parted with a fraction of energy to guard her.

He refused to believe that without Shi Yiqing, the new heroine he had chosen would still bring him shame!

Heavenly Dao had been by the new heroine’s side for a week now.

Initially, he thought of having the new heroine make a smashing debut and trample Shi Yaoguang beneath her feet.

Unexpectedly, before he even began to implement his plan, he ran into a trending topic on Weibo.

And it was that completely unremarkable graffiti.

Regarding that graffiti, he truly had mixed feelings.

Love, because the emergence of the graffiti could conquer the world’s medical challenges.

Hate, because it was Shi Yaoguang who brought out that painting.

If it weren’t Shi Yaoguang’s painting, he would have been happy to see the painting catch fire.

But because it was related to Shi Yaoguang, his original joy significantly diminished.

Luckily, the heroine he chose this time was an academic prodigy.

And also the universally acknowledged goddess of Imperial Capital University.

He refused to believe that this time, he would still be outshined by Shi Yaoguang.

...

Shi Yaoguang, however, was oblivious to Heavenly Dao’s latest maneuver.

The next day, during afternoon tea, she arrived at XX Hotel, which was also where Quan Sicheng and Shi Yiqing had agreed to meet.

She originally did not intend to meddle in their affair, but...

Suddenly, she became interested.

Heavenly Dao would not stand by and watch Shi Yiqing, the former heroine, and Quan Sicheng, the hero, have any sort of development.

For this reason, he would inevitably step in to disrupt things.

At that time...

Wouldn’t it become clear what he intended to do?

This was far more astute than passively guessing what he was up to.

...

XX Hotel.

Shi Yiqing arrived an hour early.

Today, she dressed herself to be incredibly enchanting.

Outwardly, her attire was sufficiently revealing, and inwardly she was "fully armed".

She refused to believe Quan Sicheng could remain indifferent upon seeing her like this.

While thinking about how to seduce him, she had also prepared a backup plan.

To prevent Quan Sicheng from denying any involvement after the fact, she contacted reporters.

With a two-pronged strategy, she intended that after today, everyone would know Quan Sicheng was her man.

Afterwards, she could completely feign ignorance, claiming that the reporters showing up had nothing to do with her, suggesting their whereabouts might have been leaked by someone else.

And that person could very likely be Shi Yaoguang.

At that time, not only could she capture Quan Sicheng’s heart, but also smear Shi Yaoguang in one go—why wouldn’t she do it?

Quan Sicheng, unaware, had his entrance into the hotel captured cleanly by someone’s camera.

Of course, the one who captured him was not a reporter, but a paparazzo.

This is where her clever tactics came into play.

She sought out reporters.

And she also made contact with the paparazzi.

The reporters were there to openly break the news of her relationship with Quan Sicheng.

The paparazzi, on the other hand, were to give everyone a preemptive shot, preventing disbelief.

And sure enough.

After Quan Sicheng entered the hotel, the topic #Rising Star Quan Sicheng Secret Hotel Rendezvous with Mysterious Girlfriend# surfaced online.

Now that Quan Sicheng had fans of his own, naturally, they refused to believe he would have a secret rendezvous with a girlfriend at a hotel.

They were all discrediting the paparazzi, feeling that the paparazzi were intentionally creating hype and courting controversy.

Luckily, the paparazzo had evidence. He had arrived early and installed surveillance at the entrance of the private room Quan Sicheng had booked.

The surveillance caught the figures of a mysterious woman and Quan Sicheng entering together, one after the other.

This time, Quan Sicheng’s fans were getting restless.

"Brother couldn’t really be meeting with some woman, could he?"

"Who is that woman? She actually dares to seduce Brother!"

"Wuuu, my world is collapsing."

"I don’t believe it. Brother wouldn’t date behind our backs."

"Who says he wouldn’t date behind our backs? He’s engaged, isn’t he?"

This was a comment planted by the online trolls Shi Yiqing had paid for in advance.

Indeed, fans were drawn to the word "fiancée" and began to inquire about the inside story.

"Insiders" immediately leaked the information they had.

"Before his debut, Quan Sicheng was the fourth young master of the Quan Family, you all know that, right?"

"The problem with his young master status started because of a woman. He fought with his family over that woman, and only later it was revealed that he was actually the illegitimate son of the Quan Family’s patriarch..."

All this was already known to the netizens.

What the netizens wanted to know now was whether Quan Sicheng really had a girlfriend.

Who this girlfriend was, and whether they really had a secret meeting in the hotel.

The trolls, having been paid, naturally went all out promoting this narrative.

In less than half an hour, everyone surfing the net had heard about the "divine romance" between Quan Sicheng and Shi Yiqing.

And Quan Sicheng was completely oblivious to all this.

Originally, he shouldn’t have been so unaware.

After all, he was on guard when meeting with Shi Yiqing.

But Shi Yiqing had brought a signal jammer ahead of time.

She directly blocked the hotel room’s signal, preventing Quan Sicheng from receiving messages in time.

...

Let’s split our focus for a moment.

Inside Imperial Capital University’s reading hall.

Ling Qingxue was wearing headphones, staring intently at the material on her computer.

She had always been a top student and goddess-like figure from a young age, exceedingly excellent in everyone’s eyes.

Even those who envied her couldn’t help but praise that she was a player of both talent and effort.

Even the green-eyed monsters wouldn’t question the titles she held.

Because...

She deserved them.

Everyone knew she worked hard.

Compared to things that came easily, those gained through effort were less likely to be criticized.

After all, everyone had that thought.

The reason she could achieve these things was the result of her hard work.

If they also worked as hard as she did, then they could have the same success.

If they failed to acquire them, it was simply because they didn’t work hard enough.

If you’re not even willing to put in the effort, who are you to criticize those who do?

Many people looked at Ling Qingxue with such thoughts in mind.

And this was precisely where Ling Qingxue was clever.

Unlike some, who although constantly working hard in secret, always acted aloof in front of others, just to give the illusion that they could do well without trying, in reality...
