e to his own shortcomings. Now, he and I only have blood ties left. Although my maternal grandparents are very caring towards me, after all, I'm not a member of the Du family, so I'm not that importan...After a short trip back home for the New Year, ripples returned to France to continue her studies for her final year.

Soon after, a male classmate with brown hair and green eyes began showering Ripples with attention. He told her that she was the Eastern Goddess in his heart, the muse he had been searching for.

Looking at the tall and strong man before her, Lian Yi remained expressionless and firmly rejected his advances. Because behind his sincere green eyes, she saw a deep calculation.

But this pursuer, Liou, was persistent. He would often create opportunities to run into her and even sent her expensive gifts, thinking he was being romantic. He built a persona of someone earnestly pursuing true love. The students around them would also egged Riyue on to accept his advances. Every time, Riyue would just smile without saying anything.

At a school dance organized by the school, Leo, a gentleman in a silver dress, invited Ripple to dance. Ripple, wearing a red suspender dress, was tall and graceful, exuding feminine charm.

She gazed at the lust in Leo's eyes, smiled, then said in a voice everyone could hear:

"Leo, I've rejected you many times already. If you continue like this, it will be too difficult for me. I hope that after we dance this one song, we can put an end to your unrequited feelings."

Leo was taken aback, just about to speak when a powerful force dragged him into the dance floor. What followed was an unforgettable spectacle for all the students attending the ball. Ripple danced in men's steps, forcing the tall and burly Leo to dance in women's steps.

During that time, Eru wanted to rely on her height and strength to switch back the dance steps. Unfortunately, Ripple didn't give her a chance at all. Every time she tried to move, Ripple would high-throw her, catching her as she fell before performing a single-arm half-circle spin, then finally letting the dizzy Eru land.

While everyone's attention was on Rio, Ripple stepped hard on his foot. As he cried out in surprise, she threw him across the dance floor. And just like that, the dance ended. Ripple practically dragged Rio out of the dance floor, tossing him onto a bench and leaning close to whisper into his ear with a mischievous smile:

I know exactly what you're up to, don't ever show your face in front of me again. I could crush you like an ant.

As she spoke, the ripples wore silver high heels and stepped directly onto Leo's instep.

That delicate little foot, seemingly stepping carelessly on Leo's leather shoe, but only Leo knew he was in so much pain that cold sweat had broken out all over him, stammering:

"I understand."

Ripples revealed a hint of apologetic smile, lifted her fair and slender fingers, stroked the other's eyelid, but said words completely different from her expression:

"Your eyes are so beautiful, like emeralds. I love them. I wonder if they'd still have that mesmerizing shine after being extracted"

A single sentence sent shivers down Leo's spine. He recoiled, his posture going rigid, completely forgetting basic decorum. After stumbling to his feet, he limped away from the event in a hasty retreat.

"Your facial expression and tone of voice just now were like that of a deviant."

The communicator's voice abruptly echoed in the ripples of her mind.

"Hmph! I am the ancestor of ripples. Those who dared to use such tricks against me before didn't even have the chance to be reborn. This world suppresses my power too much."

The ripples said dismissively.

The next day, footage of Ripple and Leo dancing together spread among the students, giving everyone a whole new perspective on this scholar who was also an Eastern woman. After that, Leo never appeared before Ripple again.

Ripples secretly investigated Leo and successfully found out his employer was a Chinese person. However, this person was unfamiliar to her. After some thought, she directly sent the photo back to China and gave it to her father, Zhao Fenglin, asking him to help look into it.

A week later, Zhao Fenglin called Lianyi.

"Ripple, be careful out there. I found out that the Chinese man was just a middleman. He introduced Leo, a playboy, to his client."

"Dad, I haven't officially taken over the company yet, and these people are already setting their sights on me."

Ripples narrowed her eyes, not believing in any coincidences. It was obvious that someone was targeting her, and the tactic felt familiar.

Even if you are not at the company, you are still my only daughter and legal heir. Of course, they will pressure you.

Zhao Fenglin smiled and said.

"I understand! I'll be careful outside."

After hanging up the phone, everything remained as it was, but she had become more vigilant. This time, Leo's move was a tactic of using his charm, and since she saw through it, if the other party was unwilling to give up, there would definitely be further developments.

As ripples predicted, when she entered her final year of graduation practice, the members of the same practice group went to a famous local bar to celebrate after completing their practice thesis. Unexpectedly, someone recklessly spiked her drink.

The ripples remained silent. He swapped his wine glass and then pretended to be dizzy, asking classmates in his group to send him away. One male and one female student locked eyes and volunteered to take her back to her dormitory building. Unexpectedly, they took her to a nearby hotel instead.

In a dimly lit room, all the camera equipment was set up.

"What's the use of being strong It can't beat a cup of spiked liquor!"

A gum-chewing, languid man spoke.

"Indeed, you are right!"

Immediately, a female voice spoke up. The man was startled and turned his head to find the Chinese woman who had fainted on the bed just moments ago standing behind him. He instinctively wanted to run, but an immediate punch to his stomach stopped him. He winced in pain, curling up on the ground and vomiting out his lunch.

"Tsk tsk, really unrefined! Hurry up, let's get started!"

Ripple crushed the other person's fingers with her toes and nudged the classmate who was watching a romantic movie on the bed.

The man cried out in pain, then his pupils constricted as he realized he had kicked an iron plate this time. He immediately obeyed Ripple's order, getting up from the ground trembling, and recording a precious video for his classmates.

Thank you for your generous help!

Then, with a swift motion, Ripples disarmed the opponent, leaving the room without hesitation. He immediately called the police from outside, claiming that someone was forcing "a minor" to film pornography and provided the exact address and room number before walking away nonchalantly.

The next day, a male and female French student duo from the same group came to find her and confront her. As a result, Lianyi seriously said:

"Look at this, are the two people inside you"

Seeing their own love movie, both of them wore expressions that could kill. The male classmate gritted his teeth and said in a low voice:

"If you dare to leak the video, we'll sue you!"

"Rest assured, I'm a law-abiding citizen! I unexpectedly received this inappropriate video at my doorstep. I have no idea who sent it to me, and I'm going to turn it over to the police." I am different. As a sickly woman, if something were to happen to me during this palace coup, it wouldn't be out of the ordinary.The prince probably even has my posthumous title figured out.
