Our Love Story: Hard to Guard Against the Sudden Love Strike-Chapter 454 - 432: Inspirational
Overnight, Sienna Thornton was once again trending online. Initially, she was only in the tenth spot, but by the following evening, she had climbed to third, almost surpassing the most popular entertainment celebrities.
The trending headline was - Beautiful Division Head of the Treaty and Law Department Was Once a Harvard Scholar
Upon clicking in, the topic branched into numerous directions. Besides digging up her past academic journey, netizens also found posts from a few years ago where she was elected as the "Goddess of the Legal Circle in Brimfield" in a lawyer’s forum, thanks to her high standards (beauty, business ability, and education). Even more amusingly, someone discovered old confession posts from schoolmates on Braden University’s forum...
But all these posts were without exception healthy and positive. Gradually, reporters went to Z City No. 1 High School to interview her former class teacher, learning about her outstanding achievements during school and her impoverished background. From high school, she relied on scholarships all the way to earning a Ph.D., and they even unearthed old news about her receiving a full scholarship from HKU to study in Azure Harbor.
That piece of news was from 2007, with an attached photo on the webpage. At 16, during that summer, she was tanned and skinny, captured holding the admission notice and scholarship plaque from HKU. The girl in the photo appeared timid, cautious, simple, and modest, yet her eyes were exceptionally lively and agile.
Later, reporters contacted her classmates from Harvard Law School, uncovering her decision to refuse an offer from the California Court, give up her green card, and resolutely return to serve her homeland. Netizens praised her as a proud daughter of the nation, choosing to return and contribute to her country over a green card, which is something all overseas students tempted by the M. Republic should learn from!
And because she had changed her name, no one connected her with the episodes of "Lawyer’s Talk" that were removed right after airing, no one remembered her quest to find her father, and no one recalled her being criticized in Nina Sinclair’s case.
She tried searching for her old name, and all the negative news and posts about her seemed to have vanished, leaving no trace in the vast network.
.
The 7 o’clock news reaches billions of viewers nationwide, and this time, billions of people knew Sienna Thornton, learning about a young and beautiful law Ph.D. earning glory for the nation. Her good looks and outstanding temperament shattered the nation’s outdated and stereotypical impression of female Ph.D. holders. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Many believe that if a woman is too beautiful, she will surely be unable to resist the temptations of the world, falling in love early, marrying, and starting a family too soon, thus unable to focus on academic research. Meanwhile, highly educated women are often thought to bury themselves in studies because they lack beauty and attention, finding solace only in academia.
That’s why in recent years, highly educated female celebrities have become particularly popular. People find these beautiful and academically accomplished women particularly precious, like rarities.
Sienna Thornton is not only beautiful and academically gifted; her inspirational background adds to her national prominence, turning her into a rising star.
Someone created a Baidu entry under the name "Sienna Thorne," and the photos on the entry were from her ID when she joined the Treaty and Law Department. In the photo, her gentle and charming smile, paired with an understated nude makeup look, outshone numerous female celebrities.
Sienna Thornton guessed the entry was created by someone within her department because the information was precise and positive, containing none of the controversial past. The entry listed all her achievements in the legal circle over the years and some cases that stirred responses within the industry.
Overall, her entry was exceedingly valuable, with her outstanding resume inviting awe!
In contrast, the entries associated with her old name and the bad news and posts related to it vanished without a trace...
It seemed like she was reborn.
A crazy idea suddenly struck her—Quentin Thorne’s eagerness to recognize her and change her surname seemed foretelling today’s events, as if he knew she needed a new identity to rid of all the negative experiences from her past.
She wasn’t sure if her thoughts aligned with the truth, but the worries she had previously, about the world knowing she was Quentin Thorne’s daughter and doubting her capabilities, fearing she only got into the Treaty and Law Department through connections, seemingly never materialized.
She felt at ease.
.
After the news broadcasted, Sienna Thornton’s life remained calm.
All of this felt as if someone was guiding things from behind the scenes, as public opinion steadily developed in a positive, uplifting direction. Compared to the tumultuous chaos when she appeared on "Lawyer’s Talk" and during the Nina Sinclair case, everything now was orderly, precise, and healthy.
Online, all the comments were full of praise for her. Even several official short video accounts had been circulating some interview clips of her these past few days.
The most widely circulated content seemed to be reposts from the circle of friends.
An official public account wrote an article about her academic journey titled - She Is a Ph.D. Holder Who Walked Out of a Poor County, Changing Her Impoverished Life with Her Effort and Struggle!
The content was quite factual, basically recounting how she left her village with just thirty yuan (how the public account knew she really only had thirty yuan going to Z City is unknown), attended the best high school in Z City, won first in the Olympiad, became the top science student in the province’s college entrance exams, and later achieved her Ph.D. and acquired lawyer licenses across Azure Harbor, Brimfield, and the United States.
This article was fervently reposted by numerous parents, all expressing that they shared it for their children’s inspiration.
She speculated it was part of the state’s efforts to craft her image, leveraging her positive and motivational image for propaganda.
The predominant reason is probably the frequent trade disputes these years, and considering the global political situation, these will only become more frequent. The state likely wanted to let people know about this niche organization within the Treaty and Law Department, hoping to attract more talented and passionate young people to protect the country’s trade interests.
Over the years, with a large number of talents moving overseas, the state probably also wanted to encourage overseas students to return and develop within the country, thus using her experiences and glory to boost the morale of overseas students.
Sienna Thornton didn’t mind this arrangement. She too hoped for a prosperous and strong motherland and hoped her experiences could provide some encouragement and guidance to many law students.

Seeing all the online comments being friendly, Sienna Thornton stopped spending time reading them and focused completely on enjoying her long holiday.
She first spent two days tidying up the Fenmore Villa, then took Melinda Linton for a routine check-up at Zion Quincy’s hospital. On the fourth day, she planned to visit the Forrester Group to see the current state under Simon Forrester’s management.
