Background:
Bella Qin is Sarah Qin's older half-sister. The two lived together until Bella Qin discovered the real circumstances about her being the mistress' daughter. Bella Qin married a CEO of an Entertainment company at 22 but divorced shortly after their 2nd anniversary because her husband cheated on her with her cousin Laney Qin. Bella Qin's family asked her not to get a divorce to avoid ruining the Qin Family's name, but she refused and divorced her husband. Because of this, the Qin Family disowned her.
Now at 27, Bella is currently working as a professor in a prestigious university away from the Qin Family.
Male Lead and Female Lead's Background: Sarah and Gabriel were childhood lovers. They were playmates and went to school together. However, the two soon broke up after Sarah's parents wanted her into Daniel Roger's family— a rich political family from outside of the country. Thinking that Gabriel hated her, Sarah went abroad to try and heal her broken heart. Unbeknownst to her, this was all her family's ruse for her to get close to Gabriel. But because of Gabriel's womanizing habits, Sarah never learned to love him. After a huge fight, Sarah broke off the relationship with Daniel and went back to her country. That's when she discovered that the Male lead was now a successful lawyer and is about to run for office against someone from the Qin Family.
Gabriel hated Sarah because of something that her family did. He vowed that one day, Sarah would beg for him to take her back. With his hard work and perseverance, Gabriel became a well-known lawyer who always helped people achieve the justice that they deserve. When given the opportunity to run for the mayor, Gabriel didn't hesitate and soon became the mayor of the City. He did everything to show Sarah that he was now a changed man. He was no longer the naive heir of a rich family. He was Gabriel Ting, the mayor of Lu City.
After a few push and pull, the two would get back together. Get married and became a power couple. However, this plot was about to change as the world has detected the arrival of someone from the future. The host needed to identify the anomaly, save the female and male lead from the reincarnator, and letting the male lead deal with it.
"So… wait… you are telling me that I am not allowed to kill the reincarnator?" Lily asked.
[The original plot shows that Gabriel was the one who killed this reincarnator. The host is not allowed to kill anyone in this world.]
"Heh." Lily snorted before she smiled. "The changes in the interface… was this a part of the upgrade?"
[Yes. This is the latest version of the system.]
Lily or Bella nodded in approval. She could feel it. The system now felt warmer, smarter. She could only hope that this feeling is real. Bella slowly sat on the bed. As she accessed the memories that this body had. Bella was a twenty-six years old woman. She was two years older than the female lead.
"So… this Bella got cheated by her husband and her family begged her not to divorce the man?" she frowned. What kind of horrible family would do such a thing? All this… was just because her father was the current Mayor of Lu City? Meaning, her father valued his career more than his daughter's feelings? "What a horrible household." She uttered before she walked out of her bed and went to her bathroom to examine her current appearance. From the memories, Bella was not someone considered very beautiful. She was tall and leaned— not model lean but definitely slim enough to be called skinny.
Bella looked at her current appearance and smiled when she discovered that she looked normal. She was not overly beautiful. In fact, she could say that she looked plain. Bella hated accessories and prefer clothes that— is two sizes bigger than her. So yeah, her fashion sense sucked. She also doesn't like to wear pieces of jewelry and expensive bags. Her hair was black and silky, all-natural as she doesn't like chemicals in her body.
This also meant that Bella only used organic stuff. From make-up to perfumes, shampoos, and lotions. She doesn't eat meat and any dairy products.
Of course, Lily had no problems with this. In fact, she liked it. In a few seconds, she removed her clothes and went to have a shower. Since today was a Sunday, she had no class. But she was already planning to use this day to buy some new clothes and make herself looked better. She had no problems with Bella's current preference, but she thought that this does not suit Lily and her personality. She was already planning to use the reason of 'moving on' from her failed marriage for the changes that would happen to her after today. After all, change was the only thing constant in this world.
After a few minutes, Bella finished her bath and wore some simple jeans and a pink top. With her small purse, Bella went out of her apartment building and drove her car to the next shopping mall. First, she needed a spa and a haircut. Bella chose to cut her long hair, make it short and pixie. She colored it, copper. She also had her nail polished into a blood red.
This woman was already divorced at twenty-four, and it seems that Bella was planning to spend the rest of her life in the university as a teacher. She wasn't planning to have her cousin pay for betraying her or her ex-husband for cheating on her.
What a boring life! Bella uttered inwardly as she looked at her current appearance. Aside from her lipstick, Bella chose not to apply any make-up as she was planning to have some facials done.
She nodded in approval as she looked at her current appearance. Bella looked very different than the previous plain woman she once was. Her hair was already short, her red dress perfectly hugged her small frame. Her sharp eyes stared back at her. She smiled and immediately changed back to her jeans and shirt before she decided to have some dinner. She just finished shopping and to say that she was hungry was an understatement. She paid for her clothes and sighed as she looked at the paper bags that she was about to carry. Because of her excitement from shopping, she actually forgot that she was currently in one of the biggest malls in the city and her car was actually parked outside of the infrastructure! How could she carry so much stuff with her thin arms?
There were about twenty shopping bags, and she was certain she wouldn't be able to carry everything in one go.
"Do you need help with those?" the warm voice made her flinched. She turned her head and stared at the man wearing a dark blue tux. The familiarity immediately made her frown. Wasn't this Bella's ex-boyfriend when she was still in college?
