Chapter 51 -51 The Ordinary Girl Knocked Down by Vanity (Part 1)
Su Li had lived a good life, never married, and devoted all her time and energy to her country.
She had made indelible contributions to the technological advancement of Hua Country.
Her adoptive parents also led particularly blissful lives, although they initially worried about Su Li’s marital status, they later came to terms with it.
As long as their daughter was happy and content, that was all that mattered, especially since their daughter wasn’t just anyone.
Sometimes they would wake up laughing, wondering what good they had done in their past lives to deserve such an exceptional and filial daughter.
Their lives were indeed complete.
Su Li quietly saw her adoptive parents off and at the age of sixty, she donated all her wealth to the country and then passed away peacefully in her bed.
In this life, no matter how overtly or covertly the Ye Family tried to make amends, she never accepted their gestures.
She hadn’t in her previous life, and she certainly didn’t need them now.
At the moment Su Li closed her eyes, her consciousness was drawn into the expanse of Chaos.
“Thank you…” The familiar face she had seen for many years looked back at her from across a space.
At this moment, her face was clean and flawless, her body surrounded by golden lights, exceptionally conspicuous in the darkness.
“Thank you for fulfilling my wish. These golden dots are for you.”
As soon as the young girl finished speaking, the golden light hovering around her flew towards Su Li, merging completely with Su Li’s consciousness.
Especially, Su Li felt among the golden light an incredibly fine white thread, a thousand times thinner than a strand of hair; she inexplicably knew this was something precious.
It was the Faith Power contributed by the original body.
It must have been out of gratitude for finding out the truth about her own identity.
Su Li smiled faintly, then let her whole being immerse in the warmth enveloped by the golden light, and slowly fell asleep.
When she woke up again, she had taken on a whole new appearance.
This time, her identity was that of a very ordinary young girl.
Her looks were average, her family background was average, and so were her academic results.
If one were to describe her, she was just one of the multitudes, leading an unremarkable and mundane life.
But what was extraordinary was that she had an extremely beautiful biological sister.
Like a joke played by God, her sister had inherited all of the parents’ good traits, while she, on the other hand, had inexplicably drawn the short straw.
Standing together, no one would believe that they were born to the same parents.
Yet, this young girl never felt jealous and was happy to have such a gorgeous sister, although their parents’ blatant favoritism always saddened her, she still really liked her big sister.
However, as they grew up, many things changed.
Her sister could have beautiful, expensive things, but she could not.
Her sister could freely choose what she liked, but she could not.
Her sister was treated like a precious Princess, while she was forced into the role of a pitiful maid.
Even her very existence was defined by her parents as only having value in serving her sister.
She too liked sparkly things, she too yearned for a better life, she thought if the family couldn’t provide, she could always rely on herself.
But slowly, she became what everyone called a vain woman.
Everyone was vying to say, “Look at her, she’s the Su Family daughter who abandoned her parents for money.”
“You see, she’s the Su Family daughter who’s vain and doesn’t even care about her sister.”
“You see…”
She never knew what she had done wrong in her life. She merely strived for what she wanted with her own abilities. Why had she become that kind of scheming, vain woman?
Was it wrong to love money and yearn for a good life? Why was it that only she couldn’t? Simply because she was born ordinary?
“You tell me, what exactly did I do wrong? Can’t ordinary people have great ambitions?”
A woman decked in luxury, her face a smeared mess wet with tears, as if her oil-paint-like makeup had been doused in water.
Bowing her head in bewilderment, she asked Su Li, a trace of innocence still on her mature face.
“He said he understood me, so I gave him everything I had… Why does he think the same as everyone else, that I am materialistic and vain?”
“Do you want to retaliate against them?”
Su Li looked at the woman’s indignant and resentful expression and asked.
The woman was stunned for a moment, then gave a bitter smile and shook her head, “If I could do it all over again, I would just want to live for myself, to live freely and joyfully…”
“I understand.”

“Su Li, it’s so late today, how can you still be sleeping…” A series of knocks came from the door.

By the time Su Li was dressed and stepped out, a middle-aged woman had already started bustling about in the kitchen.
Without looking up as her hands flitted busily, she complained, “Why did you get up so late this morning? Didn’t I tell you in advance last night that your sister wanted to eat xiaolongbao for breakfast?”
“Come on, hurry over and help out…”
“If you hadn’t overslept, would we need to rush like this? Your sister is going to be late for school soon.”
Su Li leaned against the door, silently listening as the other’s mouth fired away like a machine gun, yet she remained motionless.
“Has my sister gotten up yet?”
Ma Li, waiting for her second daughter to take over, paused, then replied impatiently: “What’s it to you about your sister? Just come and get to work.”
Su Li smiled and moved, but instead of heading towards the kitchen, she turned and entered the bathroom, locking the door behind her.
“I haven’t washed up or gone to the toilet yet…”
Ma Li pursed her lips in discontent, “The lazy are always busy with the toilet.”
Su Li, behind the bathroom door, listening to the glaring words of favoritism, was simply at a loss for words.
She shouted back loudly, “The one who is still lounging in bed now, isn’t that the height of laziness?”
Su Li’s pointed remark made Ma Li very angry.
Normally, the kitchen chores were habitually done by the second daughter. It had been a long time since Ma Li had lifted a finger there. Now, fumbling around uneasily and seeing that Su Li, who was usually good-tempered, didn’t rush over to help as usual, but instead dared to talk back…
Already short-tempered, Ma Li instantly dropped the spatula she was holding and stormed to the bathroom door, continuously slapping it.
“Come out this instant, what were you saying earlier… Your sister is tired from studying, what’s wrong with resting a bit more…”
“If you were as beautiful and outstanding as her, you could sleep until midday too…”
Su Li stood in front of the mirror, examining herself carefully, turning a deaf ear to the shouting outside.
Her own mother seemed to have forgotten that, even though the original body was burdened with all the housework and hardly had any time left for revision, her grades were still among the top in school, certainly better than Su Mo’s.
