“…”
Gu Qingxue stared blankly at the vanished image, her entire body stiff as if carved from clay and wood.
“Idiot… Why are you so stupid? Why are you so stupid? Someone like me… was I really worth you doing all that?”
The scene she had hoped for appeared exactly as she wished, yet it only made her suffer even more.
At the same time, she hated herself even more.
She hated her ignorance, hated her coldness, hated her selfishness.
There had been such a good man by her side. Why had she never cherished him?
Why?
Gu Qingxue questioned her own heart, but she could find no answer.
[Ding! Paid content playback completed. Would you like to continue the simulation?]
“Continue!”
Gu Qingxue wiped her tears forcefully. Her hoarse voice was firm and unwavering.
Up to this point, everything had proven that Qin Yuan was not a bad person.
He had always been so good.
Then what exactly happened afterward… that caused him to change?
And what role had Su Fan played in all of this?
[Three months later, a young man named Su Fan became a disciple under Lan Yun and became your Junior Brother.]
[Your Junior Brother was not from a prominent background. His appearance was ordinary, and his talent was not top-tier. However, his cultivation speed and combat strength were extraordinary. He was gentle and easygoing, able to talk with anyone. It was easy for him to win people’s favor.]
[Very quickly, he became a well-known figure throughout the Supreme Profound Sect.]
[From the moment he entered the sect, you began to feel inexplicable disgust toward Qin Yuan. You were unwilling to speak to him or even meet him.]
[Instead, you developed a slight interest in Su Fan, this Junior Brother you had only recently met.]
[From the time Su Fan entered the sect, Qin Yuan also, for unknown reasons, became irritable, cold, and narrow-minded. He developed an inexplicable hostility toward Su Fan.]
[The two of them frequently clashed. However, whenever conflicts arose, regardless of who was right or wrong, everyone sided with Su Fan and harshly criticized Qin Yuan.]
[Including you.]
[Three months after Su Fan entered the sect, you went to the Kuiyuan Forest for training.]
[Qin Yuan led the team. Su Fan and you were both among them.]
[During the journey, Su Fan discovered a supreme treasure guarded by a spirit beast at the Golden Core Realm.]
[Qin Yuan repeatedly ordered everyone not to approach. Su Fan agreed on the surface but secretly ignored the warning and attempted to steal the treasure.]
[The spirit beast was awakened and chased after Su Fan, severely injuring him.]
[Qin Yuan discovered the situation and rushed to rescue him. After a fierce battle, he forced the spirit beast to retreat but was gravely injured and fell unconscious.]
[When the others arrived, Su Fan, fearing that the treasure would be taken from him, falsely claimed that Qin Yuan had tried to seize the treasure for himself and angered the beast.]
[He said he was injured while trying to save Senior Brother Qin Yuan.]
[After waking up, he desperately explained that it was Su Fan who tried to seize the treasure. No one believed him. The only response he received was, “Do you take us for fools? Junior Brother is only at the Foundation Establishment Realm. How could he possibly provoke a Golden Core Realm spirit beast? If not for Junior Brother, you would already be dead. And you still have the nerve to slander him? Doesn’t your conscience hurt?”]
[Three months later, you were forcibly attempting to break through a realm. Qin Yuan sensed it and secretly guarded you.]
[Su Fan happened to pass by and accused Qin Yuan of peeking at you while you were bathing.]
[Everyone chose to believe Su Fan.]
[Including you.]
Gu Qingxue said nothing.
[At seventeen, Qin Yuan broke through to the Golden Core Realm. You reached the 10th stage Foundation Establishment Realm.]
[When Qin Yuan congratulated you, you merely said expressionlessly, “It has nothing to do with you.”]
Gu Qingxue said nothing.
[At eighteen, you were on the verge of breaking through to the Golden Core Realm. In order to help you succeed, Qin Yuan ventured alone into the depths of the Kuiyuan Forest to search for the Golden Origin Fruit. Su Fan followed him secretly.]
[While Qin Yuan was locked in battle with a spirit beast, Su Fan stole the Golden Origin Fruit.]
[After returning, Su Fan presented the Golden Origin Fruit to you. You were deeply grateful.]
[Qin Yuan returned gravely injured and empty-handed.]
…
[Three months later, Qin Yuan and Su Fan had another conflict. Su Fan was injured. Once again, everyone blamed Qin Yuan.]
[Including you.]
[Another month later, Su Fan stole two supreme treasures from the sect. To avoid suspicion, he secretly placed one of them in Qin Yuan’s room. Qin Yuan was unable to defend himself.]
[Three months later, Qin Yuan went alone into the Withered Moon Secret Realm to search for Nether Spirit Grass. Su Fan followed again, intending to seize it. He was discovered by Qin Yuan.]
[Qin Yuan injured him. Su Fan returned to the sect first and accused Qin Yuan of stealing his treasure.]
[Everyone once again chose to believe Su Fan.]
[Including you.]
[In a fit of rage, Qin Yuan destroyed the Nether Spirit Grass. He was stripped of his status as chief disciple and confined to the Cliff of Contemplation for three months.]
[The host’s first half of life content has been loaded. Next, based on these events, the system will simulate the host’s future life.]
[This process will require some time. Please wait.]
As the system’s broadcast ended, Gu Qingxue remained completely frozen.
“How could this be… How could this be? Why… Why did it become like this?”
She could not believe a single word she had just heard.
The system’s account overturned everything she thought she knew.
Especially everything that had happened since Su Fan came to the mountain. It was completely different from her understanding.
Qin Yuan… had done nothing wrong, yet he became the target of everyone’s hostility.
Su Fan… committed wrongdoing again and again, yet he became everyone’s favorite. New chapters come out on g.com first.
For several moments, Gu Qingxue even suspected the system was spouting nonsense.
And yet she had no choice but to believe it.
No… ever since the system bound to her, her perception had already changed drastically.
Ever since Su Fan appeared, she had felt inexplicable malice toward Qin Yuan. After the system appeared, that malice vanished.
Standing now from the perspective of a rational person… each of these incidents clearly contained obvious problems. With even slight investigation, the truth could have been uncovered.
Then why had no one done so?
Why had no one ever believed Qin Yuan?
Even when he presented evidence, everyone refused to believe him. Yet they trusted Su Fan’s few words without question.
Heavens… what exactly was going on?
Why target Qin Yuan like this?
Gu Qingxue cried out in agony, her heart tearing with pain.
At this moment, she wanted nothing more than to hold Qin Yuan tightly in her arms and listen to the grievances of her fiancé.
But she also wanted to kneel before him and repent for her own faults.
Even after she had treated him that way, why had he still treated her so well?
She… truly did not deserve it.
“Why… Why is this happening?”
Gu Qingxue wiped her tears fiercely and asked the system in a low voice, “Su Fan… What kind of person is he? Why… did all this happen?”
[The host will understand after the simulation concludes.]
[Note: All events that have already occurred have been loaded. The following will be the simulated portion.]
[After Qin Yuan was confined to the Cliff of Contemplation, you developed the intention to break off the engagement, but you did not do so.]
[Three days into his confinement, Qin Yuan received news that you had disappeared after descending the mountain.]
[In his urgency, he immediately attempted to leave. However, the moment he stepped off the Cliff of Contemplation, he was captured.]
[At that moment, you appeared. Qin Yuan realized he had been deceived.]
[No matter how he explained, no one believed him. Qin Yuan was punished again.]
[A few days later, another rumor spread that you had disappeared after descending the mountain.]
[Qin Yuan once again left the Cliff of Contemplation and was once again captured.]
[You appeared again.]
[No matter how Qin Yuan explained, no one believed him. He was punished again.]
Gu Qingxue said nothing.
[A few days later, Qin Yuan was attacked on the Cliff of Contemplation. He chased the attacker off the cliff and ultimately tracked him to Su Fan’s room.]
[Su Fan claimed that Qin Yuan held a grudge and had come to kill him.]
[Everyone believed him once more.]
[Including you.]
