“Ding-dong! System 030 is now online. Dear host Su Zhiyi, it's nice to see you again. Welcome to the new world. 030 will accompany you to successfully complete the mission in this world!”
“Zzzzt— Mission for world SU34 has been issued. Please check, host!”
[Background: You are a third-year student at Saint Deismo Academy and the eldest miss of the Su family, one of the top-tier wealthy clans in City A, and the sole heir of the Su family.]
[Misfortune strikes: Three months ago, you learned that you are not the biological daughter of the Su family. The Wang family set a trap and secretly had someone at the hospital switch you with the true heir of the Su family.]
[The Su family retrieved their true heir and eliminated their archrival, the Wang family. As the fake Su heir, you were driven out of the Su family and now live in a shabby rental house in the slums.]
[Mission: Continue to pretend to be the eldest miss of the Su family at Saint Deismo Academy. Do not let anyone discover that you have been expelled from the Su family and are not the eldest miss. Complete one year of pretense to pass the mission.]
[Mission Reward: One million.]
Su Zhiyi sat in the most conspicuous and comfortable seat in Class A of the third year.
She crossed one leg over the other, the curve of her calf perfectly arched. The tip of her shoe dangled slightly, glinting like new.
Her slender, fair hand held a delicate, compact mirror. The back of the mirror was exquisitely crafted, with a transparent pink diamond set in the center—clearly expensive.
In her other hand, she held a comb encrusted with crystal rhinestones, slowly running it through her smooth, slightly wavy chestnut hair.
After combing her hair, she took a Chanel compact powder from her Hermès bag, dabbed a little powder onto the puff, and gently patted it onto her face to touch up her makeup.
Her makeup was light, just a thin layer—a fresh nude look.
She was a celebrity at the academy. Because she had recently adopted the fresh nude look, the other girls followed suit, applying the same style.
But Su Zhiyi didn't wear fresh nude makeup because it looked good.
She wore it because nude makeup minimized the consumption of cosmetics.
She only had one set of cosmetics, and they were ridiculously expensive. Once they ran out, she wouldn't be able to afford a second set.
Fortunately, she was naturally fair-skinned and beautiful, so a little makeup went a long way, and she didn't rely much on cosmetics.
Moreover, these rich heirs and heiresses always interpreted her actions in the best light.
The Su family valued their reputation.
Their reputation was more important than anything—at least, more important than an outsider like her.
So the news that the daughter raised by the Su family for eighteen years wasn't their biological child never spread; only the Su family knew.
To outsiders, Su Zhiyi was still the eldest miss of the Su family.
And that was all she had—the title of Eldest Miss Su.
"Zhiyi, look, these guys are so ridiculous. They're openly confessing to you on the academy forum, but they don't even bother to look in the mirror and see what they're worth. Who do they think they are to be worthy of our Eldest Miss Su?"
Her best friend, the third miss of the Li family, Li Yuexin, held up her latest smartphone and showed Su Zhiyi a trending post on the academy forum's homepage.
"The post about that fool from the Zhou family confessing to Zhiyi? I saw it this morning. These rich young masters crack me up. They're all so confident, even posting selfies on the forum. And that idiot from the Zhou family—what A-level assets does the Zhou family have? Yet he dares to pursue our Zhiyi? Forget a marriage alliance—he's not even qualified to be a live-in son-in-law."
Her second best friend, the eldest miss of the Xia family, Xia Wan, also leaned in, echoing Li Yuexin's words.
Su Zhiyi lifted her chin slightly, putting on a cold and arrogant demeanor, merely lowering her gaze.
She extended one manicured, slender finger and swiped across Li Yuexin's phone screen. Every gesture exuded nobility and the pampered air of a young lady.

[Official Confession to Eldest Miss Su: Seeking a marriage alliance with the Su family!]
[1L: I am Zhou Junyi, the only son of the Zhou family. I have long admired Su Zhiyi, the eldest miss of the Su family. I want to confess to her. Since her engagement with the Song family has been called off, I hereby request a marriage alliance between our families. Attached is my photo!]
[2L: Who do you think you are? Get lost! How dare you covet our Eldest Miss?]
[3L: This kind of daydreaming post appears every month. Nothing new.]
[4L: Zhou Junyi of the Zhou family, right? See you at the school gate after class tonight. Don't run.]
[5L: Dude, where did you get the confidence to post a selfie? Don't you know what you look like?]
[6L: So ugly it made me throw up last night's dinner.]
[123L: You creepy bastard, you think you're worthy of our Eldest Miss? Eldest Miss, look at me instead. I've admired you for a long time. Besides, I'm a guy, I'm way better-looking than Zhou Junyi, and my family is richer than the Zhou family. If you're considering Zhou Junyi, why not consider me?]
[124L: The comment above, you're not worthy either. Too afraid to give your name, huh? Tonight, that Zhou kid is going to the school gate. You go to the national highway. We'll settle this there.]
[125L: Reply to 123L: You look like a rag that came to life. You're not any better.]
[126L: Can you guys even confess to the Eldest Miss unless you have Song Lian's looks and his family background?]
Su Zhiyi found it amusing that these young masters were arguing over her on the forum.
But she didn't even know their names—that was even funnier.
"These people are so boring. They're always arguing," she said with a faint smile, then pushed Li Yuexin's phone back after a quick glance.
These people claimed to like her so much and boasted about being rich, so why didn't they throw some cash her way?
All talk, no action.
Oh, she almost forgot—in their eyes, she was still the Eldest Miss Su.
How could the Eldest Miss Su be short of money?
As for the Zhou family's asset level, she didn't know. All she knew was that her own assets were below A2, and she didn't even have a single hundred-yuan bill on her.
