#World Headlines: Jiang Xue Restarts The World Whenever She Is Happy#
This world was very special.
Everyone’s lifespan was recorded on a small card. It would be counting down every day.
This card was the most important thing for everyone. They would never tell anyone where their card was, not even their spouse.
The gap between the rich and poor was wide in this world. The city was divided into a wealthy district and a poor district. There was an obvious separator in the middle.
One side consisted of extravagant high-rise buildings.
The other side was filled with dilapidated and low buildings.
Not only that, their lifespans could be stolen by other people.
Yes, a person’s lifespan could be snatched away.
By rights, this was against the law.
However, with wealth and the desire to live, such things would always happen behind the scenes.
The fake female protagonist in this world was called Yi Xi. She was an extremely wealthy person living in a wealthy district. She could get anything she wanted.
She had a fight with her family so she ran away from home and entered the poor district. She met some bad people and got caught by them.
Luckily, she was saved by the female protagonist, Lu Ning.
Lu Ning brought the fake female protagonist home. Yi Xi knew that the people in this district hated wealthy people so she didn’t dare to share her true identity.
While she was living with Lu Ning, she got to know about Lu Ning’s dream. Lu Ning wanted to leave this place and live somewhere better.
The fake female protagonist scoffed at her dream secretly.
One time, the fake female protagonist did something stupid. Not only did she implicate Lu Ning, most of her lifespan got taken away too.
The fake female protagonist knew that there were people selling their lifespans in the poor district so she asked Lu Ning to take her there. She didn’t want to die.
As the female protagonist, Lu Ning would never do such things. She rejected the fake female protagonist, but she promised that she would think of a way to get her lifespan back.
Since lifespans could be snatched away, they could be taken back.
As long as... you are still alive.
If you died, getting your lifespan back would be useless.
The fake female protagonist felt that Lu Ning didn’t really want to help her so she quarreled with Lu Ning and ran out alone.
By luck, she managed to find the people that were selling lifespans.
However, the other party didn’t plan to help her. They wanted to take her lifespan away, but she didn’t have much lifespan left. The people noticed that she was pretty so they sold her to someone.
The fake female protagonist never expected this to happen. She was r**ed. Her life was worse than a dog’s now.
One time, the fake female protagonist managed to run away. She was discovered soon and the person sent people to catch her.
She met the Host during this time.
The Host was called Jiang Xue. The fake female protagonist saw many people standing guard around the Host so she knew that her status was not low. She begged Jiang Xue to help her.
Jiang Xue didn’t help her.
Why would she help someone she didn’t know?
The fake female protagonist was brought back and died of torture not long after.
Then, she was reborn.
The fake female protagonist felt that she ended up like this because of the female protagonist and the Host.
If the female protagonist had helped her, she would not have been sold by those people.
If the Host had saved her, she would not have died.
The fake female protagonist hated everyone in the poor district. Those people were her nightmare.
Thus, after she was reborn, she chose to take revenge on the female protagonist and the Host. She even wanted to destroy the poor district.
The Host was forced to stand against the fake female protagonist.
The fake female protagonist resumed her identity and used it to make a suggestion in the wealthy district. The suggestion was to destroy the poor district.
Many people supported what she said. The government rejected this suggestion, but they were forced to compromise.
The war between the wealthy district and the poor district started officially.
The wealthy district had the most advanced weapons so the poor district was not their match at all.
The prisoners from the poor district got tattooed just like in the old society.
Their lifespans were taken away. They were only given one day to live. If they didn’t do their jobs properly, they would not survive the next day.
The fake female protagonist caught the female protagonist and let her experienced what she felt the past life.
The Host managed to run away quickly so she wasn’t caught.
However, the Host still died at the hands of the fake female protagonist... or rather, she committed suicide.
The fake female protagonist became the hero of the wealthy district. She removed the thorn in their side.
[Jiang Xue’s wish is to become Yi Xi’s nightmare.]
I’m good at that!
[Hidden Task: Help the poor. Hint: It is not good for the gap between the poor and rich to be too wide. Please direct your fire at the wealthy district.]
Ming Shu: “...”
The Harmony System distributed the mission so early this time?
And...
The Host was not poor!
[Hint: If you are not rich, other people will be rich. All the wealthy people are your enemies.] The Harmony System managed to answer almost instantly.
Ming Shu: “...”
Jiang Xue was the Young Miss of the biggest lifespan trafficking organization in the poor district, Du Ji.
As compared to other small organizations, Du Ji was a “state-owned enterprise.” It had a good reputation—it just didn’t have the credentials from the government.
Du Ji’s rule was stringent. All the lifespans sold though their organization was given to them voluntarily.
The people who sold them their lifespans got money in return.
If the person regretted their decision within three days, they could return the money and get their lifespan back. Du Ji was not a charitable organization so they would keep a small portion of the lifespan as compensation.
Du Ji’s customers came mostly from the wealthy district. These people used money to buy lifespans.
At this moment, Ming Shu was sitting in her office. The office was bright and spacious. The walls were made from glass so she could see her workers walking outside.
Ming Shu looked at the card in her hand. It was her lifespan card.
The card was white. Everyone had it the moment they were born.
There were not many things written on the card. It seemed like an identity card. A picture of her was on the right-hand corner and her details were written at the side.
Name: Jiang Xue.
Remaining lifespan: 6 years 135 days.
Highest age: 28 years old.
This highest age was a limit.
For instance, if you had to die at 23 years old but you snatched other people’s lifespans, you could live longer.
However, if your highest age was 40 years, you could only live until you were 40 years old.
Without this limit, all the wealthy people would have become old demons by now.
But, the age of the Host... she couldn’t live longer even if she snatched other people’s lifespans.
Knock knock!
Someone knocked on her door. It was the Host’s assistant.
Ming Shu put away her card and asked the person to come in.
The assistant placed a pile of documents in front of her. “Young Miss, this is the documents you need to look at today.”
Ming Shu nodded. “Please buy some food for me.”
“Okay.”
The assistant left quickly. Ming Shu looked through the documents. It was information about the people who wanted to sell their lifespans.
Most people sold one to two years of their lives. The money they earned was enough to let them live a good life. If they wanted to, they could sell their lifespans again.
Ming Shu needed to verify each person. This was Du Ji’s rule. It was to prevent anyone from seeking personal gains.
She verified two people and didn’t feel like doing it anymore.
Her assistant came back after a while. She didn’t buy much food.
“This is it?”
“Erm...” The assistant replied carefully, “Young Miss, you’re on a diet, right?”
“Diet?” Ming Shu looked at her body. It was perfect. Why did she need to go on a diet?
Ming Shu pondered for a moment. “I’ll fill up my stomach before dieting. Go and buy more food.”
The assistant’s mouth corners twitched.
Women are lying when they say they wanted to go on a diet.
