Chapter 1: This Start Doesn't Seem Right.

============

In a private clinic, Cheng Jinyang sat there looking uncomfortable, asking the doctor for psychological treatment.

A strange buzzing sound echoed in his mind, accompanied by countless memories of the original host flashing before his eyes.

Those sad and painful memories gradually turned into black and white silent films, quickly fading from his mind; while some happy and joyful memories became more vivid in color and more deeply engraved.

Removing her fingers from Cheng Jinyang's temple, Dr. Wu Quemei, who had just activated her supernatural ability, casually picked up a beer can from the side and took a sip, burping contentedly:

"Well, you're recovering well. You're almost mentally recovered now, but the frequent nightmares are mainly due to physical issues. After all..."

She tapped her own head: "You have organic lesions here."

"Do I still have a chance?" Cheng Jinyang sighed and asked.

Psychological recovery is of course natural, since the original soul has completely disappeared, and the current Cheng Jinyang is a normal young man with healthy values.

However, what's with Dr. Wu's mention of "organic lesions"? Did the original host's illness damage his brain for too long?

"Yes, of course there's alcohol." Wu Quemei picked up another unopened beer can and tossed it to him.

"Sister Wu, I'm asking if there's a chance of recovery, not about alcohol!" Cheng Jinyang caught the beer.

Wu Quemei solemnly said, "Alcohol has a calming effect on your brain," as she crossed her long black-stockinged legs on the table.

"Give it a try."

"I think you're just trying to get me, a minor, to drink," Cheng Jinyang said skeptically, finally tearing his gaze away from her legs.

"Well, it does have some effect, although it's only temporary," Wu Quemei admitted sheepishly.

"But if you want a real solution..."

"Try developing your own superpowers, Jinyang," she suddenly sat up straight, speaking earnestly.

"Superpowers? It's not like you can just develop them by saying so," Cheng Jinyang complained, resigned.

"You should know the two fundamental bases of superpowers," Wu Quemei reminded, "Bloodline purity and brain domain computational power, both are indispensable."

"As a descendant of the Cheng family, you're not lacking in superpower bloodline itself. However, due to the absence of corresponding ability algorithms, you can't develop your own superpower. So why not improve relations with your family and ask for the algorithms?"

"As long as you initially develop your brain domain, you can completely shield the diseased cerebral cortex, thus permanently overcoming the influence of nightmares, right?"

Cheng Jinyang fell silent, suppressing the urge to complain.

"Damn it! It's not like I don't want to improve relations with the family; it's that the family completely looks down on me!"

The original owner's father of this body, Cheng Qinghe, was originally a promising seventh-grade superpower. Later, it seems that due to marriage issues, he fell out with the family and eloped with the original owner's mother, leading to being completely disowned by the family.

Then when the original owner was 15 years old, they both died from an unexpected demon attack, along with the original owner's childhood sweetheart next door who had a deep relationship with him.

Okay, I understand the protagonist losing both parents; after all, it's a common element for transmigrated characters.

However, what's with the childhood sweetheart dying before the story even starts? Why did the whole family perish, yet the original owner survived? And why would the demons spare him intentionally?

Anyway, with both parents gone and the childhood sweetheart lost, the original owner suddenly became a lonely soul overnight. It's no wonder the original owner suffered from severe mental illness and eventually chose the path of suicide.

Now, as Cheng Jinyang, who transmigrated into this body, lives alone in the old house left by his parents outside the family estate. He relies on a small amount of relief money provided by the family and earns extra income from part-time work after school to make ends meet. Compared to other Cheng family descendants of the same age, his situation couldn't be any worse.

However, in the eyes of the family, Cheng Jinyang is just a "sinful descendant" who once betrayed the family. They consider it fortunate enough to provide him with some relief money to survive. So, their relationship is definitely not harmonious... but these are family matters, not something suitable to discuss with Sister Wu.

Upon seeing Cheng Jinyang remain silent, Wu Quemei also seemed slightly moved.

Regarding the background of this young man, she had actually heard some rumors, but being from the Wu family in Wu County, her family had little interaction with the Cheng family in the capital city, and she couldn't help with the unfair treatment Cheng Jinyang faced within his clan.

"Thank you, Sister Wu. I should go to school now." Glancing at the time, Cheng Jinyang placed the beer can on the table, stood up, and bowed in thanks.

"Hmm." Wu Quemei watched him leave the clinic, sighing softly.

"Oh, Sister Wu, isn't that Jinyang?" Dr. Zhou Xingzhi emerged from the inner room just in time to see Cheng Jinyang leave. She asked, "Is his condition not improving?"

"No." Wu Quemei replied, "Orphaned, abandoned by his family, and plagued by mental illness, he's quite pitiful."

"Shouldn't we ask the Xing family to help him?" Dr. Zhou Xingzhi showed some compassion.

"Forget it." Wu Quemei was somewhat swayed but shook her head, saying, "He's managed on his own until now. He is actually quite prideful. Didn't you notice he never asked for our help?"

"If this lad can overcome his obstacles and succeed, he'll surely become remarkable." Dr. Zhou Xingzhi mused.

Wu Quemei pondered for a moment before saying, "Xiao Zhou..."

"What's wrong, Sister Wu?"

"He's already so pitiful, can't we leave him be?"

....

Cheng Jinyang, the transmigrator, a high school senior, was on his way to school.

The original owner, aged 17 this year, lost both parents, suffered from severe mental illness, and currently lived alone. Combined with the need for regular treatment, his bank account balance never exceeded ten thousand yuan.

Being an orphan and poor, the two essential elements of the protagonist, were both in effect simultaneously, making for a standard template for a trashy protagonist in a novice novel.

However, as a transmigrator, he hadn't gained any cheats so far... If there was anything different from an ordinary person, it would probably be due to his mental illness, occasionally experiencing hallucinations and auditory hallucinations, as well as having nightmares every night.

In the nightmare, there are endless monsters and demons relentlessly chasing him, engaging in brutal battles. Because he remains conscious and feels pain in the nightmare, in order to endure less suffering and die fewer times, he can only try to fight these monsters as best as he can, striving to survive until he naturally wakes up the next morning.

To be honest, when will this torment come to an end?

Just when he was feeling uneasy, someone suddenly called out to him on the roadside.

It was a young woman with a cold temperament, her face obscured by the white veil of her veil, only her straight black hair falling cleanly from the edge of the veil and spreading over her shoulders. Two maids stood by, holding up a sunshade for her.

Judging by her demeanor, she must be from a prominent family, but it's unclear which household she belongs to.

"Are you looking for me?" Cheng Jinyang was somewhat surprised. "You are..."

"Cheng Jinyang, right?" The other party's voice was cold, like the sound of a clear spring in a valley. With gloved hands, she pulled out one-third of an ID card from the pocket of her jacket, revealing the surname at the front of the name.

Xing.

The Xing family? Cheng Jinyang was slightly startled, then he realized.

The family to which his father originally belonged was the Cheng family of the Divine Capital, with the bloodline ability of "Universal Gravitation," which could manipulate the direction of gravitational vectors.

Close to them is another prominent family: the Xing family of Hejian, whose bloodline ability is "Mass Effect," which can increase or decrease the mass of objects themselves.

Manipulating mass, coupled with gravity control, can generate tremendous kinetic energy from any object, making it extremely valuable in military applications. Therefore, the Cheng and Xing families have been friendly for generations, forming a long-term alliance known as "birds of a feather flock together," and even intermarriages between their children are not uncommon.

If it weren't for the fact that each person can only possess one kind of supernatural bloodline at most, perhaps these two families would have merged centuries ago.

"Let's talk over there for a few minutes," the girl gestured to a nearby coffee shop.

"Alright," Cheng Jinyang pondered briefly before agreeing.

Although he didn't know what the other party wanted from him, now that the Cheng family in the capital treated him as a stranger, it would be advantageous to befriend the Xing family.

....

In a coffee shop, two people sit facing each other. Two maids dispersed the waiters in the shop and skillfully made milk tea behind the counter.

In this world, coffee shops mostly serve tea, milk, and alcoholic beverages. The atmosphere emphasizes sound insulation and quietness, making it a good place for private discussions. Therefore, Cheng Jinyang was somewhat curious and expectant about why this person sought him out.

"We don't have much time, so I'll get straight to the point," the girl said, taking off her veil to reveal a stunningly beautiful face, and lightly introduced herself, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Xing Yuanzhi."

Cheng Jinyang immediately recalled this name.

In Jiankang City, there were many prominent families, and the young and handsome members of these families often attracted attention and gossip. There were even rumors of someone collecting and selecting young women from these families, compiling them into the "Hundred Flowers Spectrum".

This list featured a hundred young women from prominent families who possessed both beauty and strength, along with their identities and comments below their photos, circulating widely on the internet for a time. Such objectification of young women from prominent families was naturally intolerable to the authorities.

It was said that the author was later abducted by mysterious forces and beaten to death overnight. However, the "Hundred Flowers Spectrum" continued to circulate secretly on various forums despite attempts to delete and ban it.

Xing Yuanzhi entered the list with her black long hair and cold temperament. She was usually reserved, but whenever she spoke, she shocked everyone with her words.

Coupled with her strong abilities, she reached the level of "Nine Grades of Powers" at the young age of sixteen, proudly referred to as "The Clear Phoenix" by the head of the Xing family.

The Hundred Flowers List praised her, saying: "In the waters of Yuan, there is a flourishing Zhi, different from other plants." This means that this girl is like the Zhi grass by the Yuan River, noble and beautiful.

Therefore, she has many enthusiastic fans online who call themselves "loyal dogs of Miss Zhi," and many of them seem to be young descendants of the Cheng and Xing families.

Cheng Jinyang pondered for a moment before coming back to his senses:

"Miss Xing, what's the matter with me?"

"It's like this." Xing Yuanzhi took out a piece of paper from her bag and gently pushed it across the table, "My father, Xing Wenxing, and your father, Cheng Qinghe, were once good friends. Therefore, our families also once arranged a marriage between our younger generations."

"But later, your father... chose to split from the main family and was expelled by the Cheng family of the Divine Capital. So, it's not appropriate for this marriage to continue."

"So, I'm here this time to ask for a divorce."

Xing Yuanzhi intertwined her fingers and placed them on the table, speaking calmly.

Cheng Jinyang: ...

Great! Orphan, waste, and now encountering the cancellation of an engagement with an unmarried wife. The three major protagonist elements have already been gathered.

Now it's just a matter of waiting for the appearance of a mysterious old man or a brainless system!
