Chapter 539：The Lonely Top Student 2

This time, her identity was still Tang Wan—a second-year student at City No. 1 High School.

But she also came with a long list of nicknames:

King of Bad Luck, Walking Disaster, Destroyer, Broom Star.

The reason?

She was basically born with a “destruction attribute.”

From the moment she came into this world, things just… broke.

At birth, her mother suffered severe hemorrhaging and had to have her uterus removed. Even in the hospital, Tang Wan had nearly been swapped with another baby because their identity bracelets got mixed up.

In elementary school, she kicked a football once—and it deflated on the spot.

In middle school, she played badminton—and the racket strings snapped mid-swing.

A brand-new bed? It lasted one week before collapsing.

In short—

Anything she touched had a high probability of breaking.

Because of this, no one around her wanted to get close. People were afraid that just brushing against her might bring disaster.

Over time, she became withdrawn… and eccentric.

Everything changed when she met Wen Chuan.

He was one of the “Four Princes” of No. 1 High School—rich, handsome, cheerful, and extremely popular among girls.

One day, when Tang Wan almost fell off a bench, he reached out and steadied her.

Then he said, simply, “Be careful.”

That small action… those three words…

Completely shook her world.

From then on, she began secretly following him. Watching him. Taking photos of him.

Her feelings gradually twisted into something obsessive.

And when she found out he liked Lin Ran—a girl from an ordinary background—

Jealousy consumed her.

She started sabotaging things in secret.

But what she didn’t know was this:

If Tang Wan had extreme bad luck…

Then Lin Ran had the exact opposite.

A full-on koi luck buff.

Every scheme Tang Wan attempted would somehow turn into an advantage for Lin Ran instead, strengthening her relationship with Wen Chuan.

In the end, Tang Wan’s actions were exposed.

In desperation, she slapped Wen Chuan while begging for forgiveness—

And transferred her “destruction attribute” to him.

He was later diagnosed with a terminal illness…

…and died shortly after.

“…What a disaster.”

Tang Wan’s lips twitched hard.

She raised her hand and stared at her pale, delicate palm.

“These hands… are cursed.”

Breaking objects was one thing.

But causing someone to die from bad luck?

That was on another level.

Her expression darkened.

If I accidentally slap someone… would they just drop dead?

If that were the case, she might as well skip this world entirely.

Carefully wrapping her hand in a piece of clothing, she opened another cubicle door.

Nothing broke.

She let out a breath of relief.

“So… as long as there’s a barrier, it’s fine.”

Conclusion:

Gloves. Always gloves.

After washing her hands, she glanced down—

The piece of fabric she used had split open.

Tang Wan: …

“…Of course it did.”

Luckily, her school uniform was thick enough to hide it.

She stepped out of the restroom.

But just as she turned the corner—

Thud.

She bumped straight into someone.

Looking up, she saw a boy in a white shirt and black school pants.

Cold. Quiet. Distant.

A melancholic aura clung to him like a shadow.

At the same time—

“Ding! Target detected.”

“The villain, Jiao Tong, has appeared.”

“Mission objective: Capture Jiao Tong and prevent him from walking the irreversible path of a serial killer.”

Tang Wan: …

…Great.

Not only am I cursed—

Now I have to save a future murderer too.
