1 Chapter 1 She Has Five Fiancés_1

"Holy shit, Clown Lan is trending again, and this time she killed someone..."

"Killed who?"

"She killed an unborn baby, that woman she beat up last time turned out to be pregnant, and she miscarried."

"Tsk, Clown Lan is gonna have to rely on her old man to clean up her mess again. Should've strangled such a granddaughter to death sooner."

...

Lan Jin had keen hearing, and even now, sitting on the toilet, she could clearly hear four men in the living room passionately discussing her "murder."

You might not believe it, but she had actually been gone for three years.

Three years ago, she went to Quick Pass World on a mission, and only returned today, only to find out it was already three years later.

The terrifying part was that during these three years, someone had taken over her body, assuming her identity.

And damn, she suddenly had five fiancés!

Five, huh... Yup, those four idiots outside are among them.

There's another of unknown identity, reportedly very mysterious, and never appeared before.

It was all because a fortune teller said she was cursed with a short life, unlikely to live past 20, and there were only two ways to break the curse.

Either spend money non-stop to fend off disasters, or find young men with gold in their fortunes compatible with her own, the more the better.

Then make them her fiancés in name, and they had to live in the same house, where their daily expenditures could also help fend off her misfortunes.

She just needed to survive her 20th birthday peacefully, then the engagements could be called off.

Conveniently, the families of these men happened to have been long-standing allies of the Lan Family.

Especially the relationships between the old men were not shallow, often teaming up to play games online.

Basically, they were all trapped by their own patriarchs.

Coerced over and over with threats and bribes, they reluctantly agreed to help out of sheer desperation.

Too bad the outsider was a lovesick fool with brain damage, and an extremely weird taste in fashion, dressing like a non-mainstream rebel every day.

Her originally beautiful black hair was permed and dyed into a rainbow mess, like a peacock spreading its feathers, matched with heavy cat-eye makeup with thick mascara, utterly eye-scalding.

With that grotesque appearance, she was still severely narcissistic, thinking herself as an alluring charmer, fond of throwing herself at men.

Especially recently, she became infatuated with the youngest and coolest of her fiancés, named Li Junyang, who was 18 this year.

Too bad he, as the top student and heartthrob of First High School, an illustrious figure, would never glance at her, a worthless fool from a vocational high school.

Just the sight of her bizarre outfits was enough to scare people off.

But she lacked self-awareness, getting up before dawn every day to make love-filled lunch boxes for Li Junyang.

Writing love letters, giving gifts, and even making public declarations of love, but her advances were completely ignored. Instead, he avoided her like the plague, utterly repulsed.

She mistook his avoidance for shyness, so she tried even harder to impress him.

Until later, she found out Li Junyang seemed interested in someone, and that someone was her stepsister Lan Jiaojiao.

The two seemed a match made in heaven, both with high intelligence and attractiveness, belonging to the same class, and naturally got along well.

Still, she refused to give up and frequently troubled Lan Jiaojiao.

She even stooped to despicable means, framing and setting Lan Jiaojiao up. Sadly, she was too stupid, getting slapped in the face without any ability to retaliate every time.

Her reputation grew increasingly worse, and her fiancés desperately avoided her, their disgust and aversion intensifying to the point where they probably couldn't even eat their meals at the sight of her.

Just some time ago, she was implicated in seducing a married man. After being rebuffed, she furiously attacked his wife.

Tragically, that woman was pregnant, over three months along, but it wasn't obvious yet.

The outsider truly didn't know about the pregnancy and went crazy, grabbing the woman's hair and slapping her relentlessly.

That incident caused a huge uproar, captured in a video uploaded online, provoking substantial sensation.

Lan Jin's Weibo account was dug up, and in the blink of an eye, it was besieged, subjected to public condemnation and abuse from all directions.

She received a major reprimand from the school because of this incident, and if not for the principal considering Mr. Lan Sr's face, she would have been expelled long ago.

But today, that woman's child didn't survive, leading to a miscarriage.

It was like a drop of water falling into a sizzling frying pan, instantly erupting with loud crackling!

Without even looking, she knew what kind of verbal attacks she was under on the internet, the public outrage, a nation-wide witch hunt!

She was even branded with the label of a murderer, coupled with the despicable title of a woman of loose morals.

Online violence is terribly frightening, enough to destroy a person.

Fortunately, the current Lan Jin had long forged a heart of steel and was completely unfazed by such public pressure.

Thankfully, Lan Jin still retained memories belonging to the outsider, aware of the entire course of the incident, as well as the truth behind it.

Simply put, she had been framed.

After digesting the messy memories in her head, Lan Jin rubbed her forehead irritably.

Tsk, what a load of crap all this is...

The thing she hated the most was trouble!

But no worries—

She! The Aisin-Gioro! Lan Jin!

Will ride the wind and waves, the King has returned!
