Chapter 1

“Ugh!”

Ye Yao looked at the small mirror, which was barely able to contain the reflection of her large, pockmarked face. The sight made her gag, almost throwing up!

Was this… the eighteen-year-old her?!

She looked down but couldn’t see her toes. One of her arms was even thicker than her waist in her previous life. Her eyes, seemingly worried about taking up too much space on her face, had narrowed into mere slits.

She felt like crying and laughing at the same time. In her past life, she had been a goddess in the eyes of many—beautiful and intelligent. But now, after a plane crash, she had been reborn into this body.

And it came with a whole lot of trouble.

“Fat pig, get out here now!”

The angry shout from the courtyard interrupted her thoughts.

Sure enough, trouble had arrived.

The voice was all too familiar, making Ye Yao’s face darken as a shadow seemed to envelop her entire being.

These annoying girls had come looking for her, naturally because of her upcoming wedding.

Yes, a wedding.

There were less than ten days left before she was to be married.

Even though she was so fat that people found it hard to look at her, and her family was dirt poor, she was still lucky enough to be engaged to the most outstanding and handsome man in the entire compound.

The engagement had been arranged when she was young by her scumbag father—who had abandoned her and her mother—along with his good friend’s son.

Later, the scumbag father never returned, and the gap between their two families grew wider and wider.

So wide that even her mother didn’t dare to bring up the engagement anymore.

One was up in the sky, the other down in the dirt.

One was a dragon among men, the other an overweight girl struggling to survive.

If things had remained that way, they could have continued on without conflict. But a month ago, the fat girl must have lost her mind, because she suddenly took it upon herself to march over to the man’s house.

She declared that since their families had arranged a marriage, they should honor their word. No matter what she looked like, they had no right to back out.

To everyone’s shock, the groom’s father announced the next day that the engagement would remain valid. He even immediately sought out her mother to finalize the wedding date.

The entire compound exploded with gossip—no one could understand it.

The fat girl got what she wanted, but she also became the target of many.

A fat pig dared to dream of taking the man who was the prince of every young girl’s heart? What an insult to him!

Just two days ago, when the fat girl went to the river to wash clothes, someone shoved her into the water. And just like that—she drowned.

Ye Yao pulled herself from her thoughts and stepped out of the house.

She was no longer the old, weak fat girl who let these “fleas” push her around!

In the courtyard, Zhao Qingqing stood surrounded by seven or eight other girls her age, their eyes filled with mockery as they stared at Ye Yao.

This damn fat pig finally stopped hiding?

Well, of course. They had come straight to her doorstep—there was no way she could keep playing dead.

“Fatty, don’t you think you owe everyone an explanation?”

Ye Yao stood opposite them, staring at their sneering faces, her gaze deep and unreadable.

Zhao Qingqing’s father had been friends with her scumbag father and had taken care of Ye Yao and her mother all these years. But at the same time, Zhao Qingqing had also been the one who bullied her the most in the compound!

She may have been covered in flesh, but her courage was smaller than a mouse’s.

Whenever she faced Zhao Qingqing, she never dared to breathe too loudly, obeying her every command without question.

The “explanation” Zhao Qingqing wanted was, of course, about her engagement.

Looking at Ye Yao’s “timid and shrinking” posture, Zhao Qingqing snorted coldly.

A toad wanting to eat swan meat?

Disgusting!
