Chapter 490: Epilogue – Back to the Beginning (Part 2)

Chapter 490 Extra: Back to the Beginning (Part 2)

Gu Xiaoman bit her lip until it hurt, her fingernails digging into her palms until they turned white. Even after Tang Qing had completely disappeared from sight, Gu Xiaoman still hadn't snapped out of it.

She actually stole her system!

This possibility had never occurred to her!

Wasn't this 'golden finger' a gift from the heavens?

It was destined that she was meant to be the protagonist of the entire world...

Sitting on the damp ground, Gu Xiaoman frantically tried to recall!

Just where had things gone wrong?

Why was it Tang Qing of all people who stole her system!

Why did it have to be her...

She was not unfamiliar with Tang Qing.

In fact, she was quite familiar with her.

Before the age of twelve, every memory included Tang Qing...

She was her older sister.

Her biological sister.

However, for a very long time, she had detested her!

Detested her to the extreme!

Tang Qing was too exceptional.

In every way, despite being fraternal twins, heaven had bestowed all its unfairness upon her!

Tang Qing was prettier, smarter—a natural spotlight who effortlessly gained everyone's favor.

Being around such a sister, everyone would subconsciously compare me to her:

"Hey, why are you learning so slowly? Your sister mastered swimming in just two sessions."

"Are you and Tang Qing really twins? Your sister is much better looking than you..."

"Manman, your sister was really impressive today—she got a perfect score."

...

I've had enough!

Completely had enough!

Every single time!

As long as she stayed by Tang Qing’s side, she was destined to be overshadowed and dim!

Never could compare.

So I learned to pretend early on—only by being weak enough could I receive care and attention from Mom and Dad.

When I was sick, when I fainted, when I looked pale…

Those were the only times they would finally see me.

Only in this way could I avoid being held to the same standards as my sister.

Things changed quickly. A car accident sent both my sister and me to an orphanage.

Tang Qing adapted quickly; she quickly learned the rules of the orphanage.

She naturally knew how to please the headmistress and the caretakers, she knew how to gain others' approval in the shortest time. Even in fights, Tang Qing never lost.

With our original home gone, my sister soon became my new sanctuary.

I thought life would continue like this, unchanging…

Until…

I encountered the system.

Luck struck unexpectedly, this strange blessing had fallen upon me.

From that moment on, everything changed!

The first time using the system to earn the approval of the headmistress, that feeling…

It felt incredible!

It was also at that time that I clearly realized:

I was never meant to live in Tang Qing's shadow!

Heaven decreed that I, Gu Xiaoman, should be the sole protagonist of this world!

I was the one meant to shine!

In the second month after obtaining the system, I saved up enough favor points and, without the system knowing, erased everyone’s memories.

That weak, pitiful, forever dim, the old Tang Man was completely gone!

From that day on, everyone should only remember my radiant self…

Our intertwined lives were forcibly separated by me.

I thought I would never have the opportunity to see Tang Qing again in this lifetime, but just my luck…

We still met.

I should have known earlier—with Tang Qing’s personality, even if thrown into a pile of mud, she would still claw her way back up.

And she had grown to become a threat to me.

When I entered the entertainment industry, the system asked me many times why I was willing to let Tang Qing go again and again repeatedly.

By trading favor points for influence, and manipulating those men, I had many opportunities to completely destroy Tang Qing!

But every time, at the last moment… I always hesitated.

At this thought, overwhelming hatred mixed with all-consuming regret!

Damn it!

If only I'd known!

If only I'd known!

She should never have given her the chance to escape!

Thinking of the white light in Tang Qing's hand, Gu Xiaoman's hatred now became tangible!

Her eyes filled with resentment as she stared in the direction where Tang Qing had left.

Since she decided to cut ties completely back then, she shouldn’t have held back!

Looking at her empty palm, even after summoning it over and over, that familiar voice no longer appeared in her mind.

Amid the emotional rollercoaster, there was also a sense of complete despair.

Everything was lost.

The greatest cheat code has been snatched away just like that…

Right back where I started.

Soon, I will become that ordinary, useless Tang Man again.
