After Father Bai left, Bai Lili finally remembered something — this world had special abilities.
The setting stated clearly that once everyone turned 18, they could go to a specialized school to awaken an ability. Of course, not everyone succeeded. Most people would live their entire lives as ordinary, unremarkable citizens.
She vaguely remembered that in the original novel, her ability was the healing type, which sounded quite gentle and reliable. Unfortunately, her character in the book was purely a death-seeker. She spent every day provoking the heroines, only to be crushed every single time until she began to doubt her own existence.
Bai Lili rubbed her temples, desperately scraping through the pitifully small amount of plot memory in her head to recall the abilities of the three heroines.
The first was the pink-haired lolita, Lilith, who had awakened a vampire ability. In the original story, whenever Bai Lili hit a wall with her, she could never escape one ending — being pinned down and having her blood sucked.
Just thinking about that scene made Bai Lili’s back turn cold, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
‘…Why does it feel like this heroine is a bit weird?’
The second was the black-haired girl, Qingyin. On the surface, she seemed incredibly gentle, with a temper that was unnervingly good. No matter how the Bai Lili in the book mocked or harassed her, she would always respond with a soft voice and a gentle manner.
However, it was exactly this reaction that made the original Bai Lili feel frustrated, as if she were hitting a wall of cotton. Every time, she could only slink away in defeat.
‘I think… her ability was something related to the mental type?’
Bai Lili clutched her head in a frenzy. ‘Think, you stupid brain! If I had known, I would have finished reading the novel!’
She finally managed to drag out the last fragment of memory — the third, white-haired heroine had the Nine-Tailed Fox ability. Moreover, the ability levels of all three heroines were consistently S-rank.
It was no wonder her original self lost so miserably every time.
Then, thinking about her own pitiful B-rank healing ability, Bai Lili instantly felt that her life was bleak and her future was dark. Just as she was crouching on the ground in a state of self-pity and despair, Father Bai’s familiar voice suddenly rang out from outside the room.
“Lili! Today is the big day for your ability awakening! If you don’t hurry, you’ll be late!”
Bai Lili slapped her forehead, nearly jumping into the air.
“I almost forgot! It’s all those heroines’ fault; they made me forget the most important thing! 😡”
She rushed out the door in a panic and hurried all the way to school.
The school gate was already crowded with people. It was full of boys and girls who, just like her, had come to awaken their abilities. It was noisy and incredibly lively.
As Bai Lili was looking around for her queue, a particularly eye-catching pink figure in the crowd came charging through toward her.
She recognized her at a single glance — it was one of the heroines, Lilith.
—
Moving to Lilith’s perspective.
“Move, move! I’m going to be late!”
The pink-haired lolita crashed through the crowd like a pink meteor, all while arguing indignantly with the system in her head.
“Stupid system! (╬•̀皿•́) Didn’t I tell you to wake me up exactly at 7:00 AM?!”
The system responded with cold helplessness: **[Host, I am a Capture System, not your alarm clock nanny. (ー_ー)!!]**
“I don’t care! It’s your fault!”
Lilith was so busy arguing with the system that she wasn’t looking at the road at all, slamming headfirst into a soft, warm “meat wall.”
“Ouch — who is it? Don’t you have eyes?!” She puffed out her cheeks, holding her aching forehead as she looked up.
The person she had knocked to the ground was none other than Bai Lili.
The girl clutched her sore backside and let out a sharp breath.
“Hiss — you were the one who charged over, yet you’re the one complaining?”
Lilith originally wanted to lose her temper, but the moment she heard that soft, crisp voice, she froze. She looked up.
The girl had fluffy, soft blonde hair that looked like it had been dyed by the sunlight and a pair of cerulean eyes that were clean and translucent. Her height was about the same as Lilith’s, but the difference in certain areas… was heart-stabbing.
Lilith’s gaze unconsciously drifted downward, staring at Bai Lili’s chest, and she instinctively clicked her tongue. She then looked down at her own, and her small face instantly slumped in grievance.
Bai Lili also clearly saw the person who hit her. She had pink hair tied into twin tails, looking vibrant and cute, with crystal-clear red eyes. However, that area on her chest was truly flat and unremarkable.
Lilith immediately gave an order to the system in her mind: ‘System! I’ll give you 3 minutes. I want all her information!’
The system was speechless: **[Host, you are not a domineering CEO. Furthermore, I am a Capture System; I can only check the information of capture targets.]**
‘Then do I have a capture target?’
**[No. As I said before, you have to bind the capture target yourself.]**
Lilith’s eyes lit up instantly, and she almost jumped with excitement.
‘Quick, quick, quick! I want to bind her! Right now! Immediately!’
The system was almost made speechless by her: **[Host, you are clearly just driven by lust. Please think twice.]**
‘What do you know? This is called dying under a peony flower and being a romantic ghost!’

Back to Bai Lili’s perspective.
She watched the pink-haired lolita in front of her. The girl’s face was changing like the pages of a book — one moment she was huffing with anger, the next she was dazed, and then she was secretly smiling with a creepy expression.
In all her years, this was the first time she had seen a human whose face changed so quickly. Especially the way the other girl was staring at her with such a direct gaze; it made her skin crawl, and she felt a chill down her spine.
Bai Lili really couldn’t take it anymore. Her face flushed as she let out a soft cry of annoyance, giving the girl a mock-glare.
“Don’t you have your own? You keep staring at me! If you keep looking, I’ll gouge your eyes out!”
She even made a fierce, threatening gesture, but unfortunately, in Lilith’s eyes, this movement wasn’t scary at all. Instead, it was so cute that she wanted to just pick her up and take her home.
Lilith immediately urged the system: ‘Quick! Give me her information!’
The next second, a translucent panel appeared before her eyes —
**[Status Window]**
Name: Bai Lili
Gender: Female
Identity: Young Miss of the Bai family
STR: 3
INT: 3
AGI: 4
STA: 5
Affection: 10 (Stranger baseline: 20)
Ability: Unawakened
Summary: A soft-bodied, easily pushed-over little blonde lolita with a tsundere personality. Under specific circumstances, she will become a bristling brat. (A normal person’s average attributes are 5.)
Lilith stared at the panel for a long time, feeling like some key content was missing.
‘System, why aren’t there things like her likes and weaknesses?’
**[Those will only unlock once her affection reach a certain level.]**
Bai Lili watched the pink-haired girl giggle foolishly one moment and then sink into serious thought the next. She felt completely uneasy. She deeply felt that if she stayed with this heroine any longer, she would eventually be infected by something strange.
She immediately spoke with a look of disgust: “You’re blocking my way. Move.”
Seeing that she was about to leave, Lilith panicked. She reached out and grabbed Bai Lili’s wrist, pulling her so hard she stumbled.
“Eh — don’t go!”
She immediately switched to an obedient, apologetic expression. She pressed her palms together and apologized with sparkling eyes: “Let’s get to know each other. I’m Lilith. I’m really sorry about just now~”
Bai Lili pulled her hand back, huffed, and walked forward without looking back.
“Who wants your apology?”
She knew clearly in her heart — whether she was the villain or just a bystander, staying away from the heroine was the number one rule for survival. Moreover… this heroine looked like she was a bit of a pervert.
