Starting with a Breakup: Why Is the True Heiress My Possessive Ex? - Chapter 79
After all…
You were only disguised as an insignificant subordinate.
By the time you realized what was happening…
It was already too late.
You wanted to interfere with the ritual.
Unfortunately…
The ceremony had already reached its final stage.
Your lone act of sabotage…
Was nowhere near enough to disrupt it.
Instead…
You exposed yourself.
In an instant…
Every pair of eyes turned toward you.
Everyone wondered the same thing.
Why…
Did someone standing among them…
Show no loyalty whatsoever?
Realizing your cover was blown…
You immediately tried to escape.
You could only retreat…
And search for another opportunity later.
Unfortunately…
Because of your previous failed infiltration…
Lin Zhihao had already become far more cautious.
There would never be another chance to slip into his organization again.
Unable to continue your original plan…
You decide to leave with Su Qingya.
You even skip the beginning of the school semester.
Perhaps…
If you stayed away from school…
You could avoid the coming crisis altogether.
You were wrong.
It is another rainy day.
Just like before.
Lin Zhihao appears unexpectedly.
As though guided by an invisible hand…
Fate itself ensures…
That the two of you meet again beneath the rain.
The reality woven by a God-Realm Joy Fluxweaver…
Cannot be escaped so easily.
Sooner or later…
You are destined to face it.
You stare at Lin Zhihao warily.
However…
His attention is focused entirely on Su Qingya.
He questions her.
Then…
After learning about your relationship…
His expression twists with fury.
The overwhelming power of a Four-Star Domination Fluxweaver erupts.
He attempts to control both of you simultaneously.
Unfortunately for him…
Your newly acquired mind cannot be manipulated by any external force.
His ability…
Has absolutely no effect on you.
Su Qingya staggers for a brief moment.
But her overwhelming fear quickly shatters the control as well.
Even so…
What difference does it make?
The gap in strength…
Is simply too great.
Enraged by your resistance…
Lin Zhihao gives the order.
The countless puppets under his control immediately surround you.
The Domination Path doesn’t merely control people.
It can also manipulate objects.
In the blink of an eye…
A massive net descends from above.
There is nowhere to run.
Su Qingya ultimately manages to carry you away.
But…
The price is devastating.
She suffers grievous injuries.
From then on…
The two of you spend the remainder of your lives fleeing.
Living under false identities.
Hiding in the shadows.
Never again able to live openly.
“Niannian…”
“I’ve never regretted choosing you.”
“Even if our enemy is overwhelmingly powerful…”
“I still won’t compromise.”
“…But promise me.”
“If one day…”
“I’m no longer here…”
“You have to keep living.”
“Alright?”
In the end…
Her injuries prove fatal.
She leaves you forever.

Some time later…
Another simulation unfolded before Xu Nian’s eyes.
Roughly a thousand words long.
The ending…
Was still failure.
She had adjusted numerous details.
Incorporated new ideas.
Corrected the flaws revealed by previous simulations.
Every failure taught her something.
Every mistake was immediately addressed.
And yet…
The crisis still remained.
If anything…
This time she had even managed to earn herself…
A dead girlfriend.
…Perhaps she should simply be grateful…
That all of this existed only inside a simulation.
At the very least…
She had learned one important lesson.
Running away…
Would never solve the problem.
Still…
The simulation also revealed valuable information.
She now understood the contents of Lin Zhihao’s advancement ritual.
Control one thousand unwilling people.
Make them overthrow their original leader.
Combine them with one thousand loyal followers.
Then…
Advance amidst the cheers of two thousand people.
Xu Nian gently tapped her forehead.
Lost in thought.
“So…”
“If I can make those two thousand people stop cheering…”
“Wouldn’t the ritual collapse?”
Suddenly…
Someone came to mind.
Leng Xiao.
More specifically…
The Soul-Settling Bell she wielded.
The Tranquility Path artifact could restore people’s minds and free them from emotional influence.
If…
At the critical moment…
The bell rang…
Silencing everyone…
Then…
The emotional connection sustaining Lin Zhihao’s ritual would be severed.
Wouldn’t that trigger a powerful backlash?
Xu Nian’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“…That’s it!”
“So that’s the answer!”
She didn’t even need to borrow Leng Xiao’s bell.
Her Scarlet Vessel could temporarily copy another person’s Relic ability.
She could simply replicate the Soul-Settling Bell herself.
Even if the imitation was weaker…
Even if it could only be used once…
It would be enough.
Without another moment’s hesitation…
Xu Nian activated her final remaining simulation.
This time…
She truly believed she had found the answer.
Even if she failed again…
There was still plenty of time.
She could continue accumulating simulation attempts…
And refine the plan little by little.
Ding!
Simulation detected.
Remaining Simulation Attempts: 0
Simulation starting…
For reasons unknown…
You finally devise what you believe to be a workable plan.
If everything proceeds smoothly…
You are confident you can completely eliminate the unstable factor threatening your love.
Your objective remains the same.
Disrupt Lin Zhihao’s advancement ritual.
To accomplish this…
You secretly copy Leng Xiao’s Relic ability.
Once the copied Soul-Settling Bell is integrated into your Scarlet Vessel…
A single wave of your folding fan will summon its power.
The ringing bell will restore clarity…
And calm every heart.
Disguised as one of a trusted subordinate’s assistants…
You patiently wait…
For the day of the ritual.
Eventually…
That day arrives.
Following the procession…
You enter the ritual grounds.
Silently…
You observe every movement Lin Zhihao makes.
Then…
Right before everyone’s eyes…
He kills a man.
For a brief moment…
It seems as though the victim recognizes him.
But…
That has nothing to do with you.
As far as you’re concerned…
The dead man is merely another scoundrel…
Someone who committed countless crimes while hiding beneath the protection of powerful people.
His death changes nothing.
Finally…
The long-awaited moment arrives.
Lin Zhihao begins absorbing the Four-Star Domination Core.
Without hesitation…
You wave the folding fan that now carries the copied power of the Soul-Settling Bell.
A clear bell chime echoes throughout the ritual grounds.
Instantly…
The roaring cheers disappear.
The countless controlled spectators recover their senses.
The emotional resonance sustaining the ritual is severed.
Exactly…
As you intended.
Your sabotage inflicts tremendous backlash upon Lin Zhihao.
But…
It still isn’t enough.
The ritual has already progressed too far.
The emotional accumulation from earlier remains intact.
Though heavily injured by the backlash…
He ultimately withstands it.
Without further danger…
He successfully advances to Four-Star.
Almost immediately…
His gaze locks onto you.
Your interference has completely exposed your identity.
Before you can escape…
The furious attacks of a newly advanced Four-Star descend upon you.
At the same time…
The other Espers protecting Lin Zhihao move into action.
There is no escape.
No resistance.
You die.
Silently.
Even in death…
You never wore your own face.
Su Qingya never learns what became of you.
All she knows…
Is that one day…
You disappeared without a trace.
And so…
She begins a lonely journey…
Searching for you.
