“Buzz…” Her ears rang, and a headache followed soon after. The beautiful woman frowned.

‘It’s so painful! My head seriously hurts!’

“This is System 009. I have successfully bonded to the host. Beginning operations… 1, 2, 3!” A cold machine-like voice came from her mind as the beautiful girl’s eyelids were forcefully opened.

The intense headache and the tinnitus started to subside. An Wen looked at the powder-white bathroom and thought, ‘Is this heaven?’

An Wen had been working in the entertainment industry for twelve years as she chased after her dream of being a celebrity. She did not have the education to back her up and had been relying on sheer faith, running around as a body double and acting in minor roles for five years. After two or three years of being a martial arts double, this resulted in An Wen’s body being covered in injuries but as a result, her acting and martial arts abilities improved. In fact, her dancing skills had improved as well. A few months ago, An Wen’s new show aired, and she became a third-rate female celebrity overnight. This was due to her incredibly bad acting as the double of the female lead who had a lovable personality.

Unfortunately, the female lead was a first-rate celebrity with an incredibly strong fanbase. They directed their anger at An Wen and exposed “negative images” of her from the past few years! The opinion of the online community turned for the worst and she became a target!

The company had never valued an average-looking person without any background like her. As they were afraid to mess with a celebrity with a strong backing, they decided to give up on An Wen and blamed her for the main lead’s failures. Thus, An Wen watched helplessly as the internet debated kicking her out of the entertainment industry because the company chose to apologize to the internet on Weibo instead of providing an explanation.

She was in a daze the entire day. When she went to the bathroom, An Wen accidentally slipped on her soap. The back of her head hit the bathtub and her vision turned blurry.

Where was she? The environment around her and the pain in her head was incredibly realistic.

“This is System 009. Host, please pick an option: 1. Receive all messages immediately. 2. Gradually receive messages over three days.”

‘Where’s that voice coming from?’ When An Wen pushed herself up and sat down, she realized that she was beside her bathtub. She looked at her white, slender hands and noticed them being much thicker than they usually were.

‘These aren’t my hands!’

“Host, I’m obligated to remind you that I’m currently in your head,” a robotic voice sounded.

‘It’s in my head!’ An Wen was the type of person to grow calmer the more anxious she was. She subconsciously pressed a finger to her temple before suddenly getting excited and asked, “You’re speaking from inside my head?”

“Yes. I’m currently in your head.”

“Why are you in my head. What happened to me? Where is this?”

“Your great regret has attracted and bound me. With my assistance, you’ve now been reborn.”

“I’ve been reborn!” An Wen widened her eyes. She recalled what her friend told her when they were discussing the contents of a certain novel. “Are you a System? The kind of System that can transmigrate me to another world?”

“No. I can only help you be reborn! Your survival depends entirely on you.”

An Wen stood up after the System finished. Only then did she realize that there was blood on her hands and a puddle of it on the floor. She asked, “How should I live my life then?”

Since God had given her a second chance at life, she decided not to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. After all, An Wen had experienced so much hardship throughout her previous life!

The robotic voice sounded, “Warning! Warning! Please don’t have such thoughts or you’ll be killed in the future!”

“You can hear my thoughts?”

“I’m currently in your brain. It’s only natural that I can hear your thoughts! Host, your objective in this life is to clear the regrets of your past life so you mustn’t have such thoughts.”

“Regrets?” An Wen muttered.

“Host, do you still remember what was on your mind before you lost consciousness?”
