Them

No. 7 Juvenile Detention Center.

It is a place for the detention, re-education, and discipline of minors who have committed errors and sins.

Escorted by two guards, a panicked and bewildered youth was brought to a room.

Separated by one-way transparent glass, he asked restlessly:

“Is… is my family here to bail me out?”

“Shut up.”

The menacing guard glared at him, and the youth couldn’t stop trembling; it was hard to imagine what he had already endured in this place.

The guards then left the room.

Click!

The glass shifted from one-way to two-way…

But sitting across from the youth was neither his kind father nor his strict mother.

Instead, it was a girl sitting in a wheelchair, immobile, with a maid standing silently behind her.

!!!

The youth recognized the girl in the wheelchair—specifically, the dazzling gold trim on her school uniform. He could never mistake it.

“You… you’re from the Student Council…”

“Yang Yan. Childhood friend and lackey of Kent Schnuin. In the past two years, collaborated with him to engage in relations with dozens of girls through deception, drugging, and coercion. Habitually found scapegoats before incidents came to light, privately threatening or bribing the victims’ families to escape charges.”

The maid behind the wheelchair girl pulled out a file and read it aloud, word for word.

“No! That’s not it! I was forced to do those things!”

Little did he know…

As the youth desperately tried to argue, the girl in the wheelchair frowned slightly. A flicker of indiscernible displeasure flashed in her eyes, but she quickly masked it.

“Student Yang Yan.”

The girl in the wheelchair offered a light smile to soothe him.

“Actually, we are here at the request of your parents to investigate this matter thoroughly.”

I see…

Hearing that his family hadn’t given up on him and was still backing him—even commissioning the Student Council—Yang Yan finally let out a sigh of relief. His back straightened unconsciously.

“But before we determine if you’ve been framed… Hecate.”

The maid understood perfectly and pulled out a portrait.

The boy in the photo had hollow eyes and extremely heavy dark circles under them; he looked like someone with half a foot already in the grave.

“Is it him?”

“Regarding that night, I’d like to know some details about what happened between your group and this person.”

The girl in the wheelchair still couldn’t forget the words spoken by that “Cow” in the Student Council room that day…

What exactly did she see?

And what did she mean by “talent”?

“Wait, isn’t he one of yours?”

Yang Yan looked puzzled and muttered to himself in a low voice.

“But if he wasn’t an undercover plant from the Student Council, then how did he…”

The girl in the wheelchair keenly caught the suspicion in Yang Yan’s words.

“Why do you suspect he is one of our Student Council members?”

Because news in the detention center was restricted, the news of Lilo being chosen as Vice President likely hadn’t reached him yet. Yang Yan didn’t know who exactly they had beaten that night.

Furthermore, before Lilo was selected as Vice President, there was absolutely no sign of him having any contact with the Student Council.

the class gap was simply too vast…

That was why Kent had targeted him, intending to turn him into a scapegoat.

“What did you see that night?”

Faced with the girl’s interrogation, the invisible pressure made him start stammering again.

“Ah, no, it’s nothing. I didn’t see it clearly back then. Maybe it was just an illusion?”

After all, that night…

In the split second when Kent threw a punch at that pauper’s cheek, I seemed to see it.

‘It was blocked.’

In that instant, Kent’s punch was blocked by the back of that gloomy loner Lilo’s hand!

Even though he still ended up falling miserably onto the coffee table.

But…

“That speed, those moves… he didn’t look like a bookworm who only knows how to study and take exams. So it was probably… just my eyes playing tricks on me.”

It was no wonder he was mistaken for being associated with the Student Council.

If what Yang Yan said was true, then Lilo, despite being in a passive position that night, clearly had other cards up his sleeve. In other words, he had fallen on purpose.

So at that time…

What else was he planning to do?

If the Student Council hadn’t arrived in time, what would his so-called “hidden hand” have been?

“…I see.”

The girl in the wheelchair narrowed her eyes; she seemed to have finally caught a sliver of a flaw.

Lilo V. Watch…

I will definitely drive you out of the Student Council!

“Let’s go, Hecate. There is nothing left for me here.”

Eh?

Seeing the girl in the wheelchair about to leave as the maid pushed her, Yang Yan ignored the pain of the handcuffs biting into his flesh and lunged against the glass, screaming.

“Wait! Wait! Aren’t you here to save me? Didn’t my parents commission you to bail me out of here!?”

“Hah?”

The girl in the wheelchair turned her head, looking at him with utter disgust. She pulled a handkerchief from her pocket to cover her nose and mouth, as if every inch of air in this place repulsed her.

Even though she was covered tightly from the neck down, she still couldn’t escape that loathsome feeling.

“Such a trick… even a three-year-old wouldn’t fall for it.”

‘Idiot.’

“Wha—”

You… you bastard!

A mere female…

Ignoring Yang Yan, who was being pinned down by guards bursting into the room after he lost control and revealed his true nature, the girl in the wheelchair seemed to have long ago seen through his boring facade. She didn’t mind his insults, and even after leaving the room, she kept her handkerchief in place.

“Truly filthy and hideous.”

“Everyone is…”

Just before leaving No. 7 Juvenile Detention Center and getting into the sedan waiting at the curb, the girl gave an instruction to the sycophantic director following behind her.

“That juvenile offender… please take ‘good care’ of him.”

“Pardon… Miss Qi Huang, what ‘degree’ would you say is appropriate?”

“…”

The girl called Qi Huang stared at him coldly. Her icy gaze was like poisoned frost, piercingly cold…

“Since he loves ‘females’ so much, then…”

‘Let him experience what it feels like to be treated as a female.’

“Oh~ I understand.”

The director gave a sinister smile. He vaguely remembered that he happened to have a few dangerous juvenile offenders in his facility who were excessively fond of the “same s*x.”

“However, regarding his parents…”

“You don’t need to worry about that.”

With the help of her maid Hecate, the girl stood up and slowly stepped into the car.

“He’s just an heir, not an only child. Since he’s been caught by Saint Tias and sent here, his support and reliance end here.”

“Yes.”

The director bowed as he watched the car drive away.

Coming from anyone else, those words might have seemed nonsensical, but coming from that “Qi Huang,” it was a reality more solid than gold.

After all, she was that Qi Huang.

“I will definitely uncover your secret…”

Inside the car, the girl stared out the window, murmuring through clenched teeth.

“Even if you are the ‘toy’ chosen by that woman, I won’t let you stay in the Student Council for a single second longer.”

I…

Loathe you so much.

Lilo V. Watch!

That’s right…

Even if you are so “dearly loved” by that dangerous woman!

Time rewinds to the day Saint Tias opened for the new term.

“From today on, you will live here as ‘Livia’.”

A heavy black sedan pulled up to the school gate. The freshmen entering the campus turned their gazes toward the car; they all seemed to recognize its owner, and their breathing grew heavy and slow.

From the opened car door…

A girl with dull, lifeless eyes stepped out slowly.

“Remember, you are now ‘Livia,’ and you will be ‘Livia’ from now on until you find the next suitable role for yourself. Otherwise…”

You will always be Livia Cappadocia.

The only eldest daughter of the Cappadocia family.

“…”

“Where is your response?”

“Yes, Grandfather.”

In the blink of an eye, the girl’s dull eyes became bright, and her temperament instantly transformed into one of confidence. She brushed aside her shimmering golden hair and lifted her skirt to offer a slight bow to the interior of the car.

“Livia will not disappoint your expectations.”

“Good. I look forward to your performance, my child.”

Livia then closed the car door and watched as the sedan gradually drove away.

“…”

Turning to face the ancient, heavy gates of Saint Tias, Livia Cappadocia lowered her head and gently stroked her stomach.

“Now, it’s just the two of us.”

“We have finally become one…”

I am you now, Livia.

Then…

She slowly raised her face, which looked both like it was crying and laughing. If she weren’t in public, her expression would likely have collapsed completely in the next second. She was merely struggling to maintain her “normalcy.”

She was… already reaching her limit!

“Come on, let’s go stir up some trouble.”

She bit her lip hard, swallowing the seeping blood bit by bit.

“Make me…”

Become dazzling / Die without a grave!!!
