"Bang!"
"Dong!!"
A huge explosion, the sound of rushing water, and other chaotic noises filled Gu Chuyin's ears.
Before she could react, her body was suddenly dragged into the icy water.
Every inch of her body ached terribly. Before she could even struggle, she was sinking deeper and deeper.
She opened her mouth to breathe, but seawater rushed in, choking her.
Her entire chest felt like it was about to explode.
Right before she lost consciousness, Gu Chuyin suddenly recalled her fiancé, Liang Shang. His gentle smile and relaxed tone echoed in her mind as he spoke to her before she boarded the plane.
"Chuyin, have a safe trip. Don't worry, I'll take care of the company for you."
As her body continued to sink, countless memories suddenly flashed through her mind. Something felt off. Her pupils suddenly shrank.
The next second, seawater flooded her vision, and sharp pain struck her body.
No...
It couldn't be him…

"Gu Chuyin! You're sleeping during the college entrance exam? Did you go out stealing cows last night? If you don't want to take the exam, get out!"
A piece of chalk hit the girl who was slumped over her desk. The sudden outburst from the teacher made the whole class burst into laughter.
The girl slowly lifted her head.
Maybe because of the lingering effects of the explosion, Gu Chuyin's brain buzzed, her eyes ached, and her whole body felt like it had been torn apart.
She was still alive?
The plane crashed into the sea... yet she survived?
Wait…
There was no private plane in front of her, no endless ocean—just a run-down classroom filled with unfamiliar faces.
At the front of the podium, a bald teacher glared at her with disdain, as if she was a troublemaker.
She looked down and saw a blank exam paper in front of her. And… a pair of chubby hands?
Seeing the thick, pudgy fingers, Gu Chuyin was completely confused.
Where were her slender hands?
She raised the chubby hand and examined it closely. Her mind nearly shut down. Was this really her hand?!
Could this be a dream before she died?
Thinking this, she pinched herself.
"Hiss—"
It hurt. A lot.
"Are you ignoring me?! If you don't want to take the exam, get out! Don't disturb the other students!"
The furious voice from the podium rang out again. The bald teacher was still glaring at her.
Wait… This teacher looked familiar? Who was he?
As she tried to recall, a sharp pain shot through her head. Countless foreign memories flooded her mind.
This…
After a while, the pain faded. Gu Chuyin slowly raised her head and looked at the old-fashioned classroom around her.
This wasn't a dream.
She had died. But now, she was alive again.
And she had returned to Jiang City ten years ago!
However, she had been reborn as an 18-year-old overweight girl, weighing at least 300-400 pounds, who had been bullied her entire life.
This girl's name was also Gu Chuyin. Her parents ran a struggling clothing factory, and she had a mischievous younger brother who had just graduated from junior high. Because of her parents' preference for boys, her obesity, and her poor grades, her life had been miserable.
Today was the first day of the original Gu Chuyin's college entrance exam. The previous owner of this body had fainted out of sheer anxiety.
At that moment, the bald teacher's voice rang out again.
"There's only half an hour left until the exam ends. Students, focus and check your answers carefully..."
Only half an hour left?!
Gu Chuyin looked at the exam paper, which only had her name and class written on it. Her mouth twitched.
But after glancing at the questions, she realized they weren't difficult at all. She had studied all of this in her childhood.
Without hesitation, Gu Chuyin grabbed a black carbon pen and quickly started writing.
However, the only frustrating thing was that this body was too weak. She was already exhausted after filling out just two pages.
The invigilator saw her suddenly answering questions and sneered.
"There are only five minutes left. Some students who don't know how to answer should just give up. No need to waste time pretending."
Ignoring the sarcastic remark, Gu Chuyin kept writing.
She was completely out of breath by the time she finished her essay and handed in the paper.
This body was seriously a mess.
After the exam ended, most students had already left. Only Gu Chuyin remained in her seat.
The bald teacher packed up his things, then glanced at her blankly staring into space. A hint of mockery flashed across his face.
"Gu Chuyin, don't even think about going to college. Don't waste your family's money. You're so ugly, and yet you're still dreaming about Zhang Yushan? Have you looked in the mirror?"
This teacher clearly despised her and loved to humiliate her. But when he noticed she wasn't lowering her head in shame as usual, he hesitated for a moment.
Soon, he shook his head in disgust, picked up a sealed envelope, and left.
Now, Gu Chuyin was the only one left in the silent classroom.
She propped her head up with one hand, closed her eyes, and thought of Liang Shang's smile, his words before she boarded the plane, the explosion, and the moment she fell into the sea.
After a long time, Gu Chuyin suddenly opened her eyes.
If the heavens didn't want her to die, then she might as well live well!
Dragging her bloated body out of the school gate, she found that most students and parents had already left. Only a few reporters remained.
When they saw her, a female reporter approached with a bright smile and held a microphone up to her.
"As the last student to leave the Chinese exam, how do you feel?"
Gu Chuyin was stunned.
What was that supposed to mean?
Weren't reporters supposed to interview the top students?
Seeing her hesitation, the journalist assumed she was struggling to answer.
"Do you think today's Chinese exam was difficult?"
Gu Chuyin looked straight into the camera and smiled lightly.
"So easy."
Then, without another word, she walked away.
The female reporter stared at her disappearing figure, frowning slightly. Looking at her eerie smile and large body, she wondered if she should just delete the interview.
After only a few steps, Gu Chuyin was already sweating profusely. She leaned against a wall, catching her breath.
She tugged at her clothes and looked down at her body. Her stomach churned at the sight of her thick waist and oversized thighs.
This was too much. She had to lose weight!
After resting for about ten minutes, Gu Chuyin was about to continue walking when a group of figures suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Hey, isn't this Gu Fatty? Can't walk anymore?"
A mocking voice rang out, followed by bursts of laughter.
