There were only a few pimples left on her forehead and jaw. At this moment, she had a suspicion in her heart that the disappearance of these pimples had something to do with her solving the questions.
So, she began looking at a mirror while she solved the questions, which lasted until midnight.
It was quiet in the dead of the night, leaving behind only the soft breathing sounds of the young girl as well as the constant scribbling of Lin Yueqi’s pen.
After tucking the chubby little girl in with a blanket, Lin Yueqi was shocked to find that all the pimples were gone from her face!
She managed to sum up a pattern. For every ten questions she solves, she will have some changes on her face and some of her pimples will suddenly disappear. After finishing 80 questions in one breath, all the pimples were gone from her face and her skin was fair and rosy as before.
Lin Yueqi touched the smooth skin of her face. This change really was mysterious.
Could it be, she had a system and a golden finger too? And that her golden finger is to turn beautiful by solving questions? But why had she never felt the presence of a system? Was it transparent, perhaps?
In order to confirm her suspicions, Lin Yueqi began working on the questions again till five in the morning.
She continued to look in the mirror and noticed that after the pimples disappeared, no other changes appeared on her face. The light red scar on her face was still there and did not change as she did more questions.
Lin Yueqi understood. Turns out her golden finger was to remove pimples by solving questions.
Might as well not have a golden finger if that’s all it does. Compared to the supporting female lead’s “Flourishing Beauty” system on the other hand, that golden finger was simply unbeatable.

Inside a suburban villa.
Qin Xue had just put on a mask and was leaning back on the sofa with her legs crossed, listening quietly to her Assistant, Tang Haoran, as he reported on her work.
Tang Haoran spoke while typing on his laptop, “Ah Xue, the role for the xianxia movie is set. You are the female lead, and the male lead is a newcomer that’s being nurtured under Li Xing’s banner. The potential is definitely there. Also, the director told me that the third supporting villainess is also set. It’s Lin Yueqi. She doesn’t have many parts in the movie but her character is extremely hateful. Not only is she your supporting character this time, she’s also taking on a role like that. You could say she’s destroying her own reputation.”
Qin Xue patted the mask of her face, giving him a casual hum in response before asking, “How are the arrangements going for the net?”
Only
“Right now, Lin Yueqi is being backed by Lu Ting. Her PR piece has gone out all over the web and traffic is high. I’ve already arranged for commenters to continue creating public opinion, so don’t worry. It’s easier to create rumors than it is to dispel them. Many netizens only believe in the worst sides of a female star. They will automatically ignore all the evidence and believe the rumors.” Then, Tang Haoran took out an invitation and handed it to her. “The annual dinner for the Qiancheng Group is happening this weekend and you’ve been invited as a guest. Both Lu Guohua and Lu Ting will be there. Ah Xue, what man would be able to resist themselves from your beauty? I don’t think Lu Ting would’ve wanted to have anything to do with Lin Yueqi if it wasn’t for the girl. I remember that you had a pretty good relationship with the girl too on the show, so why not—”
Qin Xue was silent the whole time and just kept staring at her assistant.
Tang Haoran chuckled, “Why not use that little girl to make Lu Ting disgusted with Lin Yueqi.”
Qin Xue took off her mask and picked up her mirror.
Her perfectly beautiful face was reflected in the mirror. She believed that no man could resist that allure.
And, she believed that she’ll definitely be able to get her hold on Lu Ting as well.
As she was thinking about this, the system sounded in her ears, “System warning: The heroine is attacking the punishment mechanism with positive energy. Punishment transfer retracted. System maintenance in progress, maintenance in progress—”
After hearing that sound in her ears, Qin Xue’s eyes turned sinister.
