“Oh right, Xiaozhi,” Lin Yin seemed as if she had just thought of something as she pulled Shi Sheng to a less crowded area before continuing, “There’ve been rumours around school. Is it true that you and Fu-shao are dating?”
“Hm?” ‘Where’d this come from? No one should’ve known that I’ve been accompanying him in the hospital though… right?’
“It’s, uh… that day on Mt. Shaoyang, someone saw you… with Fu-shao…” Lin Yin’s voice got smaller and smaller towards the end, her face already a bright red.
Shi Sheng rolled her eyes, speechless. ‘It wasn’t what it looked like, okay?!’
“Fu-shao’s temper isn’t that good, so being together with him must be hard. Xiaozhi, you have to carefully think this through.”
Shi Sheng, “…” ‘Who the hell is together with him?!’
It was only after Shi Sheng had walked onto the academy grounds that she discovered how that matter had circulated around nearly the entire student body. The most ridiculous part about it was that the rumor said that she had forced herself on Fu Qin!
‘Forced myself on him?! Your imaginations run too wild! At this rate, you all can go be screenwriters!’
Right now, everywhere Shi Sheng went, there were people discussing her.
“Where are you?” Shi Sheng called the other star of this rumor. He didn’t answer and simply hung up.
‘Fuck you! You want to ascend to the heavens, ah?!’
Right as Shi Sheng prepared to relentlessly call him until he answered, she received a message. After opening it, she found a bunch of pictures… of a vibrant sky with not a building in sight.
‘…You want me to guess where you are from these pictures? Fu Qin, you sure know how to play ah!’
……
Fu Qin appeared rather surprised when Shi Sheng managed to find him. “How did you know?”
The photo he sent didn’t have any landmarks so he hadn’t thought she’d be able to find him. Shi Sheng placed a box with flaky lotus cakes beside him. She then assumed a lofty demeanor and spoke, “I hacked into the Ministry of National Defence’s satellites.”
Fu Qin, “…” ‘At least try harder when you lie… hacking the Ministry of National Defence doesn’t make for a good joke.’
Of course Shi Sheng didn’t hack the Ministry of National Defence. All she did was call his bodyguards to ask where he was.
Fu Qin also seemed to have figured that out. He brought the box over and opened it up. After taking a whiff of it, he said in a somewhat contemptuous tone, “I don’t like this flavour, I want—”
Swoosh—
Fu Qin’s words were blocked by the sword suddenly at his neck. For three seconds he stared at Shi Sheng, then wordlessly took the lotus cakes from her and ate them.
Shi Sheng stayed her sword. ‘This fellow will take apart the roof if he doesn’t get a beating1!’
After Fu Qin had finished the flaky lotus cakes, Shi Sheng reached her hand out to pass the medicine over to him.
Fu Qin didn’t take them, simply staring at Shi Sheng. Grinding her teeth, Shi Sheng glared back before walking over and sitting next to him so that she could feed him his medicine personally.
Fu Qin hugged her as she screwed the cap back on, his face buried in her neck.
And like that, photographs of the two started circulating.
Under the vibrant blue sky, a young man tightly hugged a young woman. Their clothes billowed in the wind as leaves slowly spiraled to the ground—a beautiful and gorgeous scene.
When Shi Sheng saw this photo taken with grandmaster-level skill, green veins popped up on the hand holding onto her phone. ‘It turns out there are experts in this school!’
……
“Senior Bei Zhi and Fu-shao are simply perfect together. They’re like my ideal image of the male and female leads from stories! Too beautiful…”
“Senior Bei Zhi is so hot! I saw her with Senior Lin Yin—she was so caring towards Senior Lin Yin!”
“I saw it too! Senior Lin Yin and Senior Bei Zhi are the real pairing! What’s Fu-shao sticking his leg in for?”
After she heard these discussions, Ji Xiaoyu’s lowered face twisted into an expression of jealousy. ‘Bei Zhi… she’s just an orphan who doesn’t even know who her parents are! So how come she gets all of these things?!’
“I heard Bei-shao isn’t healed up yet… It’s all Ji Xiaoyu’s fault! If it wasn’t for her, would he have gotten injured in the first place?”
“Who knows what methods she used to get him to treasure her so much…”
“Just look at what she’s wearing! No style at all! Even if she has money, she’s still just an imitation! How can she even compare to Senior Lin Yin and Senior Bei Zhi? Even when they just wear school uniforms, they still look outstanding!”
“Hahaha, ugly ducklings will be ugly ducklings. Does she really think she can turn into a swan? She should go take a look in the mirror!”
Mocking voices came from behind her, causing the jealousy in Ji Xiaoyu’s eyes to turn into hatred. ‘Bei Zhi, you forced me to do this!’
On the school forums, a thread suddenly popped up. The title was: “Exposing the ugly secrets behind Bei Zhi”.
The content of this thread was that Bei Zhi wasn’t the daughter of the Bei Family; she was just an orphan they had adopted. The author also wrote about how Bei Zhi had shamelessly seduced Bei Ze, which was discovered by his parents. As a result, they wanted to chase her out. The thread starter also added a photograph of Bei Zhi packing up and leaving the mansion.
After just a short while, this thread became famous with countless replies posted.
Anonymous: [Bei Zhi isn’t the daughter of the Bei Family?! This world is too ridiculous… I’m not buying it!]
Anonymous: [Thread starter, I think you’re just jealous that Bei Zhi’s better off than you! Give solid evidence if you have the skill!]
Anonymous: [I agree with the above. There are actually people who’ll say Senior Bei Zhi is not a child of the Bei Family without any evidence! And you even said Senior Bei Zhi seduced Bei-shao? I call bullshit. Senior Bei Zhi and Fu-shao are already dating, alright?!]
Anonymous: [I support Bei Qin.]
Anonymous: [Bei Qin +1. Here’s my evidence: [pic] My Zhi is so handsome~]
Anonymous: [Holy fuck! Hey person upstairs, you’re the one who took the pic weren’t you?! Gimme more!!!]
Anonymous: [Already sent it.]
Anonymous: [Wah! So many photos! Senior Bei Zhi’s gaze when she looks at Fu-shao is sooooo gentle~! Kyaa! My maiden heart! *starry eyes*]
By the time Shi Sheng saw this thread, the topic had already derailed to who knows where.
‘Since when did I(bbb) gaze gently at Fu Qin?! What are you little devils talking about?!
Holy fuck, where’d so many pics come from…?’
After flipping through the photos, Shi Sheng saw that they were actually all of her and Fu Qin’s interactions. The person who took the pictures clearly knew what they were doing; the angle was just right to give the atmosphere a harmonious feel.
What was originally a thread meant to smear Bei Zhi ended up turning into a thread for a war between ships. Via photos.
Lots of people started posting the pictures they took of the differing ships. Most of the pictures were of Bei Zhi and Lin Yin. Fu Qin rarely came to school, and even if he did come, people might not even meet him.
There were a lot of people shouting that Bei Zhi and Lin Yin were the true ship! After all, Zhi Yin, soulmate2, what better ship name could you want?!
Naturally, those who stood on the side of Bei Qin weren’t convinced. Hence started the great war of photos.
In the end, though, the Bei Qin side won through the use of excellent photography skills.
Ji Xiaoyu hadn’t expected it to turn out like this. ‘If it were me, what would those people do?
They’d all be attacking me!
Is this the difference between statuses?’
Ji Xiaoyu tightened her resolve to pull Bei Zhi down. ‘Why should that orphan have it better than me?!’
Ji Xiaoyu took out her phone and scrolled through her contacts to find a number. After some hesitation, she still dialed it. “This is Ji Xiaoyu. I’m looking for Gao Anlang.”
After some unknown response from the other end, Ji Xiaoyu’s expression turned unsightly. But still she agreed, “Alright, I’ll be there.”
After hanging up, a gaze filled with hatred shot from Ji Xiaoyu’s eyes.

Translator’s Corner:
Translator: A little extra bit of information: In Chinese internet culture (dunno about English), ship names tend to have the more dominant person’s name first. You can read what you will with Bei Qin…
Proofreader: I want to know who the photographer is! If they are able to capture such poetic scenes, their background mustn’t be simple!
The April fools chapter was so much fun loved it!!!
LOL. I didn't know the April Fools and real one were very similar so I read the April Fools first. Didn't know I spoiled some stuff to myself.
[Fu Qin’s words were blocked by the sword suddenly at his neck. For three seconds he stared at Shi Sheng, then wordlessly took the lotus cakes from her and ate them.] LOL He ate it after a threat.
[Fu Qin hugged her as she screwed the cap back on, his face buried in her neck.] Aww~ STILL CUTE.
[Bei Zhi… she’s just an orphan who doesn’t even know who her parents are! So how come she gets all of these things?!’] Even if she's an orphan, that's no way to talk about someone like that! WTF-- I even felt bad for you a previous chapters back.. TSK TSK.
Though I guess she can't help her jealousy because someone who's an "orphan" seems to be doing better than her on the surface somehow. BUT STILL.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH THOSE ANONYMOUS IN THE REAL CHAPTER TALKING ABOUT THEIR BEI QIN SHIP AND HOW HANDSOME THEIR "ZHI" (SHI SHENG) IS!
HILARIOUS. I guess even the Chinese version readers were divided between the two ships.
[Right as Shi Sheng prepared to relentlessly call him until he answered, she received a message. After opening it, she found a bunch of pictures… of a vibrant sky with not a building in sight.
‘…You want me to guess where you are from these pictures? Fu Qin, you sure know how to play ah!’] The April Fools chapter is funny too..

LMAOOOO SHIP WARS.
Bei Qin.. hahahahah SHI SHENG IS OUR TOP.
I get that this was posted on April Fools but can you fix this chapter now please? Having to click on every single emoji to read the dialogue is infuriating. If you insist on keeping this, please demonstrate Wenshui's "kind and caring" personality by uploading the proper version of this chapter and fixing the next / previous links of this and chapter 143 so people who want to actually read it can do so. Thank you.
I am currently building the Zhi Yin ship. Anyone who wants to join say *aye*
Aye
FYI blob dialogues are terribad on mobile.
Ji Xiao Yu seriously just doesn't know when to stop, at this point she's just digging her own grave now
the photographer is totally the bodyguards!
Thank you for the chapp!
Be Truthful Author-dono, how much effort did it take to do this...
Thanks for the chapter! The blob hunt was a lot of fun!
Okay, this was funny to read because of all the blobs. The way the text appears above it just like a cell phone message XD
Um im sorry if this has been asked before but may i ask if you have an update schedule? If so can you please tell me when you update? It's just that i check everyday and i just wanted to know...
I update on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, with extra chapters the start of each month.
Thank you very much for replying to my question!!! Now i don't have to check everyday!!
Thank you very much
Bei Qin for the win! I mean isn't it just cool when our dear Shi Sheng gets tormented by Fu Qin? Ummmm, sorry I'm a bit sadistic
Gotta love ship fights in novels 😂
sameee lmao bei qin's photographs sure are awesome xD
Ah I was really unhappy this chapter. How was I supposed to know the blobs showed text when clicked? I just thought this was the worst chapter so far and even went off to read the machine translation instead lmao...
OMG! I just figured that out after reading your comment!
Thank you do much!
Thanks you !!!!!!
This was so cute I had fun reading this chapter!
What does the ship name Bei Qin mean?
Bei Ze + Fu Qin of course. We all know Bei Zhen belongs with Lin Yin!
Oh, sorry for not being clear. I know that is their ship name. What I meant was like how the ship name Zhi Yin meant soulmate, I was wondering if the ship name Bei Qin meant something as well.
This was so cute! It was fun to read ^_^
What does the ship name Bei Qin mean?
I'm such an idiot I didn't even think of clicking on the blobs.. Noo instead I opened it up in a new browser downloaded it and even Googled the image but of course nothing came up XD.
Awesome use of emoticons! Really fun read!
Thank you for the amazing chapter~!
Holy. I don't understand. Is her brain still functioning? Why is Xiaoyu still calling that horrible guy after what he did to her?
Our mc is sooooooo awesome
Thanks for the chapter

Thanks for the new chapter! That was definitely an interesting way to read a chapter. XD
Thank you God Wenhui!
Meatbun Delivery~
Thank you for the chapter ( ●w●)
FL-sama, you seem to be interested with Gao Anlang abusing you.. are you secretly an M?
*2nd time reading through the chapter.. this time reading what the emoticons actually hide*
Not much different than what my imagination predicted~
Though i thought Ji Xiaoyu were even more spiteful in my imagination than in the dialogues..
Thanks for the chapter 😊
It was really fun finding out how to read the chapter. 😀
Thanks I actually had no clue about the hidden dialogue till I went through it once. But this is actually kinda fun ^_^
Zhi Yin 4ever!
soo much hard work for us...
Have. A wonderful day translator-sama
Happy April Fools...
Thank you...
Will it be possible to read it normally ?
Thank you for your hard work!!
I don't think I converted the dialogue to blobs on my site (mainly because I didn't know how)
NICE NICE NICE!!!!
Lin Yin and Senior Bei Zhi are the real pairing!!!!!!
Click the emoticons!! Also that was too dang cute...but but my Zhi Yin is such a pure and wholesome pairing... but but there is also Bei Qin...
Haha, I actually quite enjoyed reading this whilst clicking on the emojis ^.^
Thank you for the chapter!
Ok, I had no idea how the blobs worked so I read the chapter without, thinking to myself that this is pretty cute. Then I read the comments, so I went and reread the chapter with the blob comments. Was even more cute. Those shippers are epic, btw I'm on team Zhi Yin!
The emoticons were making me very confused...
This chapter is so interactive and interesting. I get excited when I open the blobs one at a time, annnnd it's sooooo cute~!
This chapter is super awesome, and the blobs match the dialogue so well!
Also, I have no idea which ship I would support. Shi Sheng is so dominant and awesome that I can't help but picture a scenario where she holds a flower in each hand. If she wants someone, no one can take that person away!
The emoticons were so annoying! I mean, just in general. They're too...colorful. I miss the cute (/>∆<\) ones like this.
Thanks!! but i have been fooled a lot on April,1st
Thank for the translation
Does anyone know why my comments always take time before they show?
Oooh lol, the emoticons are a real cute touch.
I bet this is a good way to inconvenience aggragrate sites that steal translations!
thanks for updates
LOLOL SHIP WARS!!! So dangeroussss XD this chapter was great. It read like the comment sections
Many thankss
Thanks for the translation! What do we do once we've found it?
"Posted on April 1"
-clicks on chapter-
I think it's kind of cute to how the dialogue is in the blobs though.
I've been trained too much and tried to find secrets in your blobs, too...
..... me too
Somehow... the dialogues are kinda cute.
Kawaii blob is happy for the new chapter. I LOVE THIS NOVEL. WENHUI SARANGHAE.
My heart just broke a little. I really like this novel so much and got so excited.
What the actual fudge
Press the emoticons
Ohhhh thank you!
