Chapter 1
**Chapter 1: Rebirth**
When Yu Xunge opened her eyes, she stared at the luxurious chandelier on the ceiling, feeling a bit dazed.
Wasn't she just drained of blood in the dungeon's magic circle by Yu Xinhuan?
In just a second, she instinctively summoned the energy within her. A year of fleeing had honed her body into a reflexive state; no matter where she was or what the situation, her first thought was to find a safe place and then think things through.
However, she executed a graceful leap like a carp, and nothing happened...
The reaction within her told her that she was now just an ordinary person.
At that moment, voices drifted in from outside the door—voices she would never forget, her manager, Liu Zhengliu.
She sat up and looked around. Was this a hotel? Beside her lay a phone she hadn’t seen in years. She picked it up and saw that the time read 2:35 AM.
February 21, 2078!
Yu Xunge felt her breath quicken. Had she really been reborn? Reborn a year before the game invasion?
No one knew that a year from today, the entire Blue Star would be invaded by a game called "World of Warcraft: Fear Rift."
This game, which would invade Blue Star, aimed to establish a foothold and connect with Blue Star in 2078, arriving in the form of a game. It had undergone three brief internal tests, each lasting only seven hours, with no warning and almost no one aware. Yet, a few hundred people, either out of boredom or coincidence, downloaded the game. During the third internal test, news leaked, and as many as six figures logged in early.
Players who participated in these tests either regretted only playing for a few minutes for the rest of their lives or soared to great heights, transforming from fish to dragons. Her younger brother was one of those who soared.
And at 2:22 AM on February 22, the first internal test would begin!
But she had no interest in saving the world or telling everyone about the alien invasion. Under many constraints, the process of invasion would be relatively lengthy, and during this time, more people would die at the hands of their own kind than from the aliens.
As Yu Xunge recalled her current situation, she changed into some comfortable clothes.
Though four years had passed, she had a vivid memory of the events of the past few days.
Because tomorrow marked the day when someone’s fate would change forever due to a game, she had been drunk and sent to the bed of a company executive by her manager, Liu Zhengliu, in the early hours of the morning. At that time, she had scared that person off with her madness of wanting everyone to die together today, but the consequence was that she was constantly embroiled in scandals, sent to various low-end drinking parties, and the roles she got were either maidservants or minor characters who had to soak in cold water and get slapped.
Yu Xunge pushed the door open, and outside, Liu Zhengliu, holding a bottle of wine, flashed her a familiar smile. "Xunge? Want to have a drink?"
Yu Xunge felt like killing her right then, but her experiences in fleeing had taught her not only patience but also how to disguise her true feelings. She smiled more warmly than Liu Zhengliu. "No, my brother is in trouble. I need to go back."
As soon as she said this, Liu Zhengliu knew she wouldn’t be able to keep Yu Xunge today.
In Liu Zhengliu's mind, Yu Xunge was the ultimate "supportive sister." Half of her acting earnings went into her brother's pocket. If she got hurt while filming, just a word from her brother saying he missed his sister would have her crawling back.
Liu Zhengliu figured that unless she claimed her whole family had died, there was no way to keep Yu Xunge here...
But that excuse was too far-fetched; Yu Xunge had seen her on the phone with her family just yesterday.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Zhengliu told herself not to rush; there was still a chance. She smiled and said, "It's so late. Wait a moment, and I'll call Xiao Wu to get up for you."
Yu Xunge nodded. She was still at the hotel where the crew was staying and indeed needed a ride. With less than three hours until the game’s internal test, she had to get home to stop Yu Xinhuan from playing this game.
In her past life, Yu Xinhuan had already participated in the internal test, gaining unimaginable abilities a year in advance, yet he had kept this information hidden, watching her suffer in the entertainment industry while using the money and resources she earned to develop himself...
In the end, he had disguised himself beside her for three years, and even when she was hunted down in her third year, she thought Yu Xinhuan was innocent. All of this was just to strip her of her godly talent, and she only learned the truth moments before her death.
But she hadn’t let him off easy either. She had endured the pain of being drained, waiting for the mastermind to reveal themselves, then detonating the item named "If I Die, We Die Together," attempting to take everyone present with her.
In her final moments, she realized she was merely a villain in a book...
A villainous sister who was obsessively in love with the male lead, Yu Xinhuan.
Oh, so you want to be trendy but can’t write about taboo subjects, so you resort to this disgusting plot, huh?!
...
Once in the car, she handed Xiao Wu a thousand yuan. "Get me home in two hours, and I’ll give you another two thousand as a bonus."
Xiao Wu’s irritation at being called in the middle of the night vanished instantly. He spoke in a radio announcer's tone, "Boss, please fasten your seatbelt."
An hour and forty minutes later, Yu Xunge sat in the passenger seat, her face pale as they arrived. "What were you doing before you came to work for me?"
Xiao Wu opened the payment QR code. "Driving a hearse."
"..." So that was it. Yu Xunge transferred 2500 yuan. "Go to the convenience store across the street and buy me a small bottle of white liquor."
With money, everything is negotiable. Xiao Wu’s service attitude was top-notch; he made a round trip in less than ten minutes, bringing back a small bottle of white liquor.
Yu Xunge had been reborn at 2:35 AM last night, and by the time she got home, it was already 1:47 AM.
She poured the white liquor into a glass, filled another glass with water, and took both cups to Yu Xinhuan's room. After knocking twice, the door opened—this useless little brother was indeed still awake.
Yu Xunge could be a star, and Yu Xinhuan could be a wealthy son-in-law; the siblings were naturally good-looking. Yu Xunge appeared gentle and intellectual, while Yu Xinhuan seemed harmless and obedient. Yet, the latter's heart was darker than anyone else's.
She handed the glass of white liquor to Yu Xinhuan. "Here, let’s drink! Sister will soon earn enough to buy you a villa!"
Yu Xunge didn’t consider herself a fool. She had been deceived by Yu Xinhuan for so many years because he had always been there for her, unlike those brothers online who only knew how to leech off their sisters.
This brother was truly skilled at playing the game.
Whenever there was something delicious, he would wait for Yu Xunge to come home to eat together. He would fulfill any request she made, and when she dated someone, he would get jealous. Whenever he received pocket money from Yu Xunge, he would save it up, and earlier this year, he bought her a villa, which was registered in her name.
With a brother like this, Yu Xunge had been deceived in circles in her past life, and she thought it was understandable—though it wasn’t really, she had her own foolishness to blame.
But now, peeling back the fog, she could see that while Yu Xinhuan had indeed done everything he could, he had also reaped all the benefits he wanted, thanks to the help of their parents, Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo.
That villa, which had moved her to tears, was bought with her own money! Shouldn’t it be in her name? She had bought her own villa with her own money—what was there to be moved about?! And then she immediately bought him an even bigger one...
Fortunately, she had been reborn in time and was still in the house-hunting phase, wanting to secretly give her brother a surprise.
Low-level exploitation was a family-wide PUA, while high-level exploitation was a combination attack—one person was responsible for hitting, another for healing, and another for serving tea and water to let her catch her breath.
But this time, there was still time.
Her good brother, Yu Xinhuan, naturally wouldn’t refuse his sister’s request, even if it was 2 AM, even if she knew she would be out cold after one drink, even if her reasons were vague. He didn’t frown at all, only showing concern on his face. "You need to take care of yourself too. Money can’t be earned endlessly... We’re a family together..."
Yu Xunge clinked her glass with his.
Yu Xinhuan, with a face full of helplessness and indulgence, downed the drink in one go, then swayed and collapsed.
Unreserved trust.
Yu Xunge looked coldly at Yu Xinhuan lying on the floor. From the master bedroom not far away, sounds could be heard—perhaps Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo had heard the commotion. She quickly entered Yu Xinhuan's room, dragged him inside, and closed the door.
She sat on the sofa in Yu Xinhuan's room, opened her phone, and stared intently at the time. The game only lasted seven hours, and she wasn’t planning to leave tonight. Even if Yu Xinhuan could sleep off his drunkenness until dawn, she couldn’t relax.
In her past life, Yu Xinhuan had been like a male lead in a wish-fulfillment novel, cruising through life with ease, everything good coming his way. His god-given talent was the only SS-level in the entire Blue Star. Even after marrying into the Su family, where the eldest daughter initially treated him like a pretty pet, she eventually became his devoted follower, suppressing herself under his influence, and ultimately set her sights on her god-given talent.
**Chapter 2: Extracting the God-Given Talent**
On the way here, she even considered whether to wait until Yu Xinhuan downloaded the game before taking him down. That way, when he realized the significance of the game a year later, he would surely be heartbroken.
But that thought was quickly extinguished; she couldn’t take the risk.
What if she was two minutes late and he got the talent?
Then it would be her heartbreak.
Yu Xunge decided to stay in Yu Xinhuan's room tonight.
2:22 AM.
