On the surface, Nan He is the aloof and noble goddess of the Imperial Capital Star’s Imperial Academy—and a powerful S-rank mentalist.
In reality, she’s a nobody from a remote garbage planet, with a measly D-rank mental aptitude.
One day, she suddenly awakens to the plot and discovers that she’s merely a cannon-fodder side character in a “marriage first, love later” interstellar Mary Sue novel: the maternal aunt of the story’s ultimate villain.
According to the original plot, Nan He will be instantly defeated by Yun Chengjing, an S-rank mentalist, during a duel in three days. A few days later, the older sister she grew up relying on will die of illness, leaving her nephew to become the story’s great villain after having his eyes gouged out and his legs broken. In the end, he will die miserably at the hands of the male and female leads.
Nan He, who had always believed she would one day become a major power in her own right: “...”
She had been used as a test subject in an underground laboratory, captured by a band of space pirates, and even lived among the rebels. After enduring so much suffering, she was now being told that she was nothing more than cannon fodder?
She refused to accept that!
Fortunately, her awakening came with a cheat ability.
To change her fate and save both herself and her nephew, Nan He sets out to increase her strength.
Along the way, she relies on her intelligence and extraordinary talent for deception to manipulate one prodigy after another, leaving them utterly at her mercy.
She even becomes a true powerhouse!
But why is it that the prodigies she deceived don’t hate her to the bone? Instead, they all claim to love her.
Could there be some kind of conspiracy behind it?
