In the midst of a dark, chamber-like prison, a young woman with long, lusciously flowing black hair kneeled down, enclasped with rusty chains on each of her wrists. Her body was hunched down and she was wearing a white, mourning hanfu that was dirtied on the edges and bloodied at the tips. Her head was bowed, and her hair fanned the sides of her small, flawless face. Her thin lips were tilted upwards in a mocking smile as her dark and gem-like eyes darted left and right in scrutinization.

The guard outside sighed as he regarded the woman. His heart thumped when he saw her frail-like figure being forced to endure like so because of the current emperor.

Speaking of the current emperor, he has sent out a decree, demanding for the woman to appear before the royal court to repent for her sins. The guard was grateful that the woman was going to finally be released from such a filthy and unfitting environment, but he knew that the only thing that awaited the woman was death.

Truly, it was a pity. This living goddess of perfection, her only destination would be the yellow springs.

The guard used the key to open the prison door and cleared his throat. Seeing that he had her attention, he ushered her to the main palace with her chains trailing behind her. Even with such a humiliation being seen by passersby, the woman walked confidently as though she was the empress herself. Her shameless behavior sparked plenty of jealousy and hatred from the noble concubines and royal consorts, but the woman paid them no heed as she continued to casually walk to the royal court like she was not a prisoner whatsoever.

Like the game was all in her hands.

Finally, when they reached the royal palace, the woman paused. The announcer was stunned at her sudden appearance, but quickly announced her arrival to their emperor. Slowly, the tall, imposing gates of the main palace opened and the woman walked inside.

All eyes turned to her, but one pair of eyes in particular seemed to scorch her soul. They seemed to be yearning yet despising her simultaneously. The dark, phoenix eyes belonged to a regal and handsome face, so handsome that it seemed surreal. The face seemed sculptured to extensive lengths, almost in a teasing way. Almost like it dared the woman not to desire this man. But the woman had already given up on any type of love or desire. To her, he was her last mission before her freedom.

Her freedom from the wretched, endless seduction of men. Her freedom from being so beautiful, that it brought her more harm that good. Her freedom from the Ultimate Goddess System.

He was her last mission. She would succeed.

"Xiao Yunhua," one of the ministers called out fervently with accusation, "temptress! You have violated palace conduct and confused the princes and the emperor!"

The woman, Xiao Yunhua, silently listened with her expressionless face, her head bowed as the ministers ranted and scorned her for being a she-devil. She didn't bother to deny their rumors because in the end, more rumors would be created. Why care to stop what's never going to stop?

The emperor raised a hand and stopped all the voices. The only sound that remained was the sound of breathing, which for Xiao Yunhua, wasn't much. She wasn't breathing anymore. Locked in a metaphorical and literal chain, she was forced to be and to do things that she once envied the beautiful girls did. But now, if she could go back, she would; to hell, to heaven, to the midst of purgatory...

Xiao Yunhua was so close to victory. He was her last and final conquest.

"Yunhua..." the emperor's deep voice hoarsely called out, "why?" Seeing her remain quiet and ignore his question, the emperor's phoenix eyes flashed with anger. Hurt. Rejection. He stood up from the comfort of his dragon throne and slowly descended to the kneeling woman. Seeing her head bowed and her beautiful hair blocking her face from others' sights, he felt relieved. Already, so many yearned for her despite his constant interference.

Already, she had bewitched so many men without even trying. Already, he was fuming with jealousy when he saw others vie for her. But even with his warning, she was an unstoppable force. So unstoppable that his heart was ready to leave him to be handed to her on a silver platter.

Xiao Yunhua saw his internal struggle from the corner of her eye and sighed. This was not how her plan was supposed to work. He was supposed to love her artificial self like everyone else. He was supposed to be blinded by her façade like everyone else. Why did he hesitate so much to give her his heart? He was one of hundreds if not thousands of conquests. She only treated them as missions for her freedom, so why was her last mission being so difficult?

Indeed, he was the most handsome out of all her conquests, but Xiao Yunhua had given up on appearances as they only brought trouble and recklessness. She wanted to go back and fly with her free wings.

To get her free wings, she had to do drastic measures.

Xiao Yunhua's eyes fell on a glint of a nearby sword on a guarding soldier. Before anyone could react, she quickly grabbed the sword and pierced her stomach with it as hard as she could. It did the effect that she wanted. The emperor widened his eyes in horror and quickly grabbed her falling body before it hit the floor. He didn't mind the excessive amount of blood that constantly dripped on his yellow robes that had the embroidery of the most beautiful dragons. He didn't mind that his golden crown had managed to smear with red. He didn't mind the audible gasps from his brothers as they rushed to grab ahold of her body. All that mattered was that her gem-like eyes were slowing closing for an eternal slumber. Her beautiful face was contorted into pain as tears streamed down the the sides of her cheeks.

Slowing, with shaking hands, the emperor wiped away the blood and her tears in a gentle-manner. He had surrendered completely. His heart was completely reassured. He loved her more than life itself.

Hearing the familiar ding, Xiao Yunhua smiled as her body began to emit a golden color and she began to be lifted into the air. Her life-threatening wound healed itself and her white, mourning and plain hanfu was replaced with orange and blue robes with the embroidery of monarch butterflies. Her dress was fitted to perfection as her pale skin glowed with a surge of color. Her thin lips turned scarlet red as a cinnabar mole appeared between her dark brows. Somehow, her already unrivaled facial features enhanced as made her seem more beautiful than before.

The men in the room looked at her revived form in shock. One of the ministers yelled out, "Witchcraft! She must be killed before she spreads anyone of her evil magic! Death is her only salvation!"

Once again, the emperor raised his hand to silence the buzzing crowd. He looked at Xiao Yunhua and, with almost pleading eyes, asked her, "Why?" His question was repeated, but this time, she wasn't going to ignore it.

Xiao Yunhua descended onto the floor with graceful steps and a graceful landing. She looked directly into the emperor's eyes, which was a big taboo, and began to speak. "Your Majesty," she paused. Where should she begin? From the very beginning?

So that's exactly what she decided to do. With a smile, Xiao Yunhua opened her mouth and said, "Your Majesty, let me tell you a story."

Hearing her words, the emperor was going to dismiss all the men in room, leaving only them two, but Xiao Yunhua shook her head. She owed too many of the men here an explanation. Due to the Ultimate Goddess System, she had played and toyed with many hearts... since she was leaving, it would ease her conscious somewhat to finally expose this secret of hers; relieving her burdened shoulders, even if it's a little.

Using her Pretty Points, she whisked up a chair and sat before the many eyes of many people. Astonishment was evident in their eyes for her small trick, but she didn't care. Taking a deep breath, her accessories jiggled and her beautiful jewelry's noise rung in the quiet hall, she began to speak, "Once upon a time, there a young girl named Xiao Yunhua living in a country called China..."

SHANGHAI, CHINA

YEAR 20XX

"Xiao Yunhua, you disgusting and ugly girl!" A woman's voice screeched out as the sound of a slap resounded in the room. The slap was so harsh that it knocked down the person getting slapped onto the floor.

"You dare to think about my daughter's boyfriend?" The woman yelled angrily, "Trash vying for something? Xiao Yunhua, go die!" Before the woman could slap the girl again, she pitifully raised her arms in surrender and shielded her head. The woman humphed and raised a foot to kick the girl in the stomach.

Before the woman could abuse the girl any longer, a soft voice stopped the woman, "Mother, let her go. It's not her fault that Jiang Rong is exceptionally handsome. She's not the only one that has a crush on him."

"But she's your stepsister!" The woman said angrily, "She deserves to be condemned to the depths of hell!"

The soft-voiced girl, Xiao Huaxiu, softly laughed as she stared at Xiao Yunhua. Her eyes filled with scorn and mock as she reminded her mother, Meng Wan, about a fact. "Mother, do you think Jiang Rong will be seduced by this ugly and fat bitch?"

An understanding smile appeared on the face of Meng Wan as she shook her head. "Xiao Xiu, forgive mother for being so silly. Indeed, this unwanted trash will never even be looked at by a normal man, nonetheless someone as handsome and talented as Jiang Rong." The mother and daughter duo glanced at the beaten and bruised body of Xiao Yunhua and chuckled. With their arms looped together, they left her room, not forgetting to remind her that she is to be punished with no food that night.

Even if Jiang Rong wasn't going to be interested in her, crushing on her perfect stepsister's boyfriend was a big taboo that the ugly and worthless Xiao Yunhua had managed to cross.

As Xiao Yunhua lied alone on her floor, her eyes filled with tears at the unjust of creation. Some were born stunning with the perfect family, yet others, like her, were born ugly and forced upon their father because their mother died at birth. Not to mention, her father already had her darling of a stepsister and had married Meng Wan, so having another child suddenly appear threatened the peacefully environment that the trio had built.

Sure, her father did give her a place to stay, food, and the occasional money to spend, but compared to Xiao Huaxiu, it was nothing whatsoever. The girl had the best clothes, best shoes, best looks, best everything. It was a modern day Cinderella situation, yet not really at all. To Xiao Yunhua, Cinderella was beautiful. She was ugly. Or so she had been told all her life.

Xiao Yunhua turned her attention to a nearby novel, her latest novel, and smiled. She opened the book and read the latest chapter, where the beautiful heroine had been confessed to by a handsome king, but she contemplated on whether or not she loved the king back. Which Xiao Yunhua felt was silly. The book described him to be extremely handsome and gentle, so why was the heroine hesitating?

Xiao Yunhua closed her eyes and a picture appeared in her head. She was standing on a bridge, surrounded by cherry blossoms. Based on the reflection of the water, she was absolutely stunning with her pink kimono and flower hair clips. On the other side, a man stood with a kind and beautiful smile. The man's face was oddly the same face as Jiang Rong...

When Xiao Yunhua saw Jiang Rong's face in her imagination, she quickly opened her eyes and her face turned into a rosy hue. Embarrassment filled her as well as the innocence of a crush. Even though he was the boyfriend of her wicked stepsister, he had always treated her fairly. He was one of the nicer people in her life that didn't mock her at every point possible. Xiao Yunhua didn't bother to think of a possibly where he liked her back, she preferred to keep it all in her fantasies.

But never in a million years did she expect for Jiang Rong to appear the next day, secretly handing her a bouquet of flowers. She was so flustered that she didn't know how to react. But seeing how he did such an action only after her sister discovered her crush, she was suspicious.

Hence why she told Jiang Rong, "These flowers should be for Huaxiu'jie." Jiang Rong only gave her a look of hurt, which forced her to take the flowers and ask herself why she was skeptical of such a nice man.

Jiang Rong wouldn't hurt her, no way! Perhaps... he did like her back? The possibility was a dream come true. But she didn't dare to make assumptions. Him, a prince-like figure, would never like her, an ugly girl.

When Jiang Rong left, Xiao Yunhua leaned against her room's wall with a smile on her face. She didn't notice that her sister, Xiao Huaxiu, stood on the opposite side with a malicious smile on her beautiful face. Deep in her head, behind her white lotus façade, she had already begun to formulate the next part of her plan. She would make sure to ruin Xiao Yunhua so much to the point that she would never think of any other man, nonetheless her man.

While Xiao Yunhua happily embraced her newly-acquired flowers, she noticed a small piece of paper hidden within the flowers. Picking it out gently, the note read and asked for her to appear in Blossoms Hotel at nine o'clock in the evening, when it was currently three o'clock in the afternoon. Xiao Yunhua was confused because the Blossoms Hotel was known as a love hotel where many couples went and finalized that. Did that mean Jiang Rong wanted to do that with her?

Thinking of the hidden motive, Xiao Yunhua blushed profusely as she found herself silently agreeing to give away her virginity to such a handsome man. She didn't have false expectations that he would take responsibility afterwards, but at least she would be able to happily remember this memory that she lost her virginity to such a handsome man.

But before Xiao Yunhua could think any further, she suddenly remembered that Jiang Rong was dating her stepsister. Sure, Xiao Huaxiu didn't treat her fairly and always bullied her, but she didn't want to make their relationship worse by sleeping with her boyfriend. It was a line that she would never cross, no matter how big her crush on Jiang Rong was.

In fact, Xiao Yunhua decided to be honest with her stepsister and tell her about her boyfriend's infidelity before it was too late and Xiao Yunhua was to be misunderstood again.

Taking the flowers and the note, Xiao Yunhua knocked on Xiao Huaxiu's door gently. When Xiao Huaxiu opened her door, she was surprised to see her ugly and fat stepsister appear with the same flowers and note that Jiang Rong gave to her. Curiously, she asked, "Yunhua, what do you want?"

Xiao Yunhua sighed as she began to explain the situation to her sister. When she finished, something flashed across Xiao Huaxiu's eyes. At Xiao Yunhua's honesty, a small amount of guilt bloomed in her chest, but she remembered her mother's words about how Xiao Yunhua was a liar that always wanted to take everything away from her, including Jiang Rong.

Her heart hardened as she humphed and snatched the flowers, leaving the note in Xiao Yunhua's hands. "You freaking slut!" She screamed as she slapped Xiao Yunhua harshly. "You probably did something to him! Or even better, you're lying about everything!"

"B-But Huaxiu'je—"

"Don't call me your older sister!" Xiao Huaxiu interrupted angrily, "I'm not close to you nor am I your sister!" Gripping the flowers tightly, she threw them at Xiao Yunhua's face and marched to her mother's room with tears in her eyes. With ferocious eyes, Meng Wan slapped Xiao Yunhua and demanded for her to get out.

Not even allowed to gather her things except taking her phone, Xiao Yunhua was kicked out mercilessly on the streets without anyone to take pity on her. Her biological father was on a business trip, so all authority belonged to her stepmother. Wandering the streets, Xiao Yunhua's cries resounded, but no one offered to help.

After an hour or so of wandering, she decides to take revenge. Gripping the note with the hotel number, she arrived at the Blossoms Hotel and asked the receptionist where room 512 was. Once she stood before room 512, she took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

The room opened slowly and Xiao Yunhua found herself staring into a dark, empty room. Slowly walking inside, the door shut behind her before she could react. Xiao Yunhua suddenly felt multiple arms grabbing her and pushing her downwards. Their push was so harsh that her head banged on the ground and blood began to drip everywhere.

A malicious cackle echoed in the dark room. Xiao Yunhua raised her head and noticed her stepsister and Jiang Rong staring at her in a mocking manner.

"You still showed up, you boyfriend-stealing slut!" Xiao Huaxiu yelled out angrily. "I hope you're condemned to the depths of hell, you ugly and fat bitch!" Before Xiao Huaxiu could get any more aggravated, Jiang Rong placed his hand on hers and calmed her down a bit. Whispering words to her, the duo smirked as Xiao Yunhua screamed in pain suddenly. Her insides felt like they were on fire and she needed to release whatever it was that was being contained.

She suddenly felt her clothes being ripped apart by unknown people. Her head pounded with a foreign throb and she felt dizzy and woozy. The clear faces became impossible for her brain to decipher. The heat in her body was so overwhelming that she passed out...

The next day, Xiao Yunhua groaned like she was experiencing a bad hangover. Her body ached everywhere and as she looked around, she seemed to have been lying in a puddle of dried blood. Her bleeding head wasn't bleeding anymore, but Xiao Yunhua had a feeling that the blood wasn't her her head. Glancing at her naked body, she screamed and started shaking.

With shaking hands, she swiped open her phone and was astounded to find thousands of messages from unknown numbers. Most of them were calling her shameless, slutty, awful, while others said that they would like a night if it was free service. Fumbling with her phone in confusion, Xiao Yunhua opened the Internet and clicked on her school's website.

The very first thing she saw was a post that had a link that led to a video. The video was posted on a newly-created social media account and it had already accumulated millions of views. Clicking the play button, Xiao Yunhua's eyes widened in horror as she saw a figure, a familiar figure, having sex with what seemed to be multiple men. The faces of the men were blurred, but the woman was fully exposed.

The face was hers, but her eyes were closed, and she seemed to be acting in a lifeless manner. The video was only five minutes long, but the captions had stated that this wild woman kept it going for hours. Comments ranged from hate, to more hate, to disgust. Some perverse comments were there as well, but there wasn't anyone defending Xiao Yunhua.

Glancing at the number of people that shared it, Xiao Yunhua's tears fell at a rapid speed. Her phone began to ring with the ringtone that she had specifically set for her father. Picking up the phone, the very first thing he did was yell at her irresponsibility and shamelessness.

"B-But f-father, I was raped—"

"You're a liar now?" Her father interrupted angrily, "No wonder your mother had passed away during birth. She probably knew what a shameless and disgusting girl you'd grow up to be!" The tears in Xiao Yunhua's eyes intensified as she felt her heart stop beating when she heard her father's next sentence, "You're disowned. From now on, you're on your own. Don't you dare to use our Xiao name as your own anymore!" And then he hung up.

Xiao Yunhua threw her phone to the ground in anger and didn't bother with it as it smashed. She gripped the sheets as she began to sob her eyes out.

Why?

That question repeated in her head like a mantra. It ensnarled her heart and her feelings. Why? Why her? Why anyone? Was it because she wasn't not beautiful? Because she wasn't perfect like her stepsister? But even if she was fat and ugly, the treatment she received was highly repulsive and base, even for her wicked stepsister!

Xiao Yunhua stood with shaking legs and gripped the nearby table for support. Even with all her might, she still fell down as her legs buckled and gave out. How much did they abuse her?

Xiao Yunhua took a deep breath and stood up again, and walked slowly to bathroom. Seeing the bathtub, she smiled. Maybe it would cleanse her body from the disgusting tingle that wouldn't go away. She turned on the water and waited. After fifteen minutes, the bathtub was filled to the brim. Xiao Yunhua raised a leg and dipped it inside. The excruciatingly hot water scorched her skin, but she felt numb and didn't mind it.

She placed her body inside and felt herself floating. But even with the bath water, she still felt dirty. So she used her nails to scrub her arms and body until the bath water turned red. But even then, she still felt dirty. Finally, Xiao Yunhua decided to submerge her head completely underneath.

Under the water, not only was her body numb to the pain, but her vision and thoughts were numb and hazy as well. Her eyes began to burn, but she didn't pull up. Xiao Yunhua could feel her lungs slowly losing whatever small amount of oxygen they held, but she still didn't pull up. Finally, her opaque and blurry vision began to turn darker and darker until she couldn't see anything.

She could feel her conscience fading away along with her life, but she felt content. At least in the afterlife, whoever gave her judgement would be able to see the truth of today. Of her life. Finally, she completely blacked out.

But unlike what she was expecting, she heard something peculiar and odd.

<<Ding! Ultimate Goddess System unlocked. Welcome, newcomer! Your goal? To become the most beautiful of them all while stealing the heart of every man!>>

And then she was blinded by a white light.
