10/10 epic censorship dodge by the author there.
In both her past and current lives, Ye Yao had never imagined that she would actually be reincarnated as a loli!
“Bro, WTF 1 A Chinese meme that basically means ‘Bro, WTF’. Usually comes with this pic of a shrimp. !?”
The white-haired loli stared at her reflection in the mirror, her delicate face turning red.
A blushing girl’s face can surpass all curses.
“I finally got through the toughest phase of my life and could finally slack off as I pleased. Why is this happening to me!?”
Ye Yao could swear to the heavens.
When she saw her new ‘character modeling’ in the mirror.
Her world collapsed.
Even though she had soft, silky, waterfall-like white hair.
A face as sweet as a milk cake.
And a petite figure like a young animal protected by the herd.
Even though all these elements overlapped heavily with the 2D world.
Even so!
Ye Yao felt no genuine joy or healing from the bottom of her heart.
Well, maybe just a tiny bit.
But that tiny bit didn’t matter at all!
“I refuse! I’m taking this to the authorities!”
“I was a manly man in my past life. Why do I have to turn into a loli?”
Most importantly, her “second brother” was gone.
She could no longer board flights and take off in the future.
“My carefree slacker life…”
A layer of mist formed in Ye Yao’s blue-purple eyes, as if she had suffered an immense injustice.
Anyone seeing her pitiful expression would likely rush over to comfort her.
Ye Yao was truly aggrieved.
After all, when she thought about it.
She had made a fortune writing novels in her past life.
With careful spending, she could slack off for over a decade.

She had no grand ambitions. She just wanted to stay at home, watch anime, slack off, and play games.
The money she saved also gave her plenty of room for trial and error.
More importantly, no one would bother her. It was like living in paradise.
But this sudden reincarnation wasted all her past efforts.
Without even a reason.
Even if a Dayun truck 2 This truck. 大运dayun means Great Fortune, which is often used ironically. had flown into her rented room, she could have accepted it.
But a sudden death? Really!?
She was now back to square one.
The thought of starting from scratch, saving money again, and growing up until she could live independently nearly made the loli faint.
But she didn’t dare to faint.
She was afraid that some lolicon with auto-loot enabled would pick her up.
Her emotions were stuck.
“This is infuriating!”
The girl’s face in the mirror turned from green to white.
Finally, she was left speechless, staring blankly for a long time.
Then, a woman’s voice from outside the door snapped Ye Yao out of it.
“Ye Yao, don’t stay in your room all day. Come out and get some sun.”
Ye Yao took a deep breath and calmed down a bit.
After all, she was an adult in her past life.
Her high 2D concentration also helped her adapt to this bizarre event.
At least she didn’t transmigrate to Holy Terra 3 Warhammer 40K reference. .
Becoming a little girl was already much better.
Ye Yao’s coping mechanism was well-honed.
She comforted herself with a series of thoughts.
Ye Yao patted her cheeks with both hands and quickly organized her memories.
She looked firmly into her reflection in the mirror.
“Alright, from today on, I am Ye Yao, determined to earn enough to quickly enter a slacker life. Staying away from internal struggles starts with me!”
Her mindset began to shift.
Ye Yao felt that no matter what happened next, nothing could change her mentality.
Under her cute, youthful appearance was the heart of an adult.

From now on, she would stand above all her peers!
Ye Yao opened the door and looked at the waiting woman.
Her memories had told her the woman’s identity.
“Director.”
The orphanage director, the super kind-hearted person who took Ye Yao in.
Yes.
In this life, Ye Yao actually started in an orphanage.
How hellish.
She thought that this wasn’t some orphanage from a novel.
Her parents might have been sacrificed.
But who would compensate for the missing golden finger 4 Slang for cheats in novels and such that makes the main character much stronger than their peers. In this case, the parents are considered as golden fingers. ?
Ye Yao’s expression turned slightly strange.
Not to mention why such a cute girl like her ended up in an orphanage.
What are those words above the director’s head?
【An ordinary orphanage director】
【Since she might not see you often in the future, the director wants to encourage you to step out of your room and enjoy the richness of life.】
Holy crap! A cheat!
Ye Yao’s mood shifted from stormy to sunny, and she could barely suppress her smile.
You have to hold it in!
But how could she hold it in?
If the director wasn’t in front of her, she might have popped a bottle of champagne and cheered.
With a cheat, what’s there to fear?
Even a loli can make a comeback!
The director didn’t notice Ye Yao’s odd behavior.
She just found her as endearing as ever.
It’s a pity that she wasn’t her child.
Due to special circumstances, she couldn’t adopt her, or else Ye Yao would have long since become her daughter.
The director sighed softly: “Ye Yao, we might not see each other often in the future. Try to step out of your room more and interact with people. Otherwise, you’ll miss out on many joys in life.”
Ye Yao blinked and nodded obediently.
“Mhm.”
It was similar to what she saw above the director’s head earlier.

The first line was likely identity information.
The second line probably represented a person’s motives or thoughts.
In a way, it was like mind-reading.
But Ye Yao’s intuition told her that it wasn’t that simple.
The director took Ye Yao’s small hand: “Come, let’s meet your future parents. You’ll leave this orphanage and become a child with a real home today.”
“Huh?”
Ye Yao was stunned but quickly reacted.
Someone is adopting me!
Makes sense.
I’m so cute, of course I’m in high demand.
With such a refined “character model”, it would be strange if no one adopted her.
Even her past self, who saw children as primordial beasts, would have a hard time resisting her current charm.
Being adopted wasn’t bad.
Having a home meant having a safety net.
Ye Yao had no objections.
As long as the parents are normal.
With her adult mindset and experience, she could get along just fine.
If she could develop normally, Ye Yao wouldn’t forget her adoptive parents’ kindness.
Naturally, she would take care of them in their old age.
At worst, their parenting style might not suit her.
But so what?
With her golden finger, she had it all under control!
“Hehe~”
Ye Yao let out a smug laugh, brimming with confidence, as if the world was hers.
At the director’s office.
As soon as Ye Yao entered, she saw a weathered man and a gentle, smiling woman.
First, the woman.
Her face had no wrinkles, her skin still fair and tender, not looking like she was in her forties or fifties, yet she somehow exuded a motherly aura. She could only be described as beautiful and gentle.

【An Elite Esper from the National Bureau of Anomaly Disaster Countermeasures, top-tier supporter, stat amplifier】
【Xiao Jing is curious about Ye Yao’s uniqueness and wants to guide her onto the right path with love, preventing her from making big mistakes in the future】
Ye Yao: “?”
I don’t understand, but I’m deeply shocked!
Then she turned to the man.
The man’s face showed little expression. His eyes carried the aura of a corporate drone, but his ordinary face revealed a unique sharpness.
This dad looks difficult to get along with.
Ye Yao glanced at the words above his head.
【The National Bureau of Anomaly Disaster Countermeasures’ ultimate trump card, the strongest Esper of the current era, a one-man nation destroyer】
【At the cost of shattering their Esper ability, the Bureau’s Prophet foretold that the person who could destroy the world was in an orphanage.
Lou Wei accepted the mission to approach the new Sequence 001 Esper, Ye Yao, as the final safeguard.
Lou Wei is hiding his vigilance while secretly scrutinizing you, unable to comprehend how a little girl could possess world-destroying power.
Even if he couldn’t understand, he remained in combat readiness, prepared for any sudden developments】
“Huh?”
Ye Yao was stunned.
The strongest of the current era?
Destroy the world?
Me?
Ye Yao’s eyes instantly cleared.
All of her accumulated confidence vanished at once.
She knew full well that she didn’t have that kind of power.
Could a white-haired loli have world-destroying stats?
Ye Yao wanted to ask if they had mistaken her for someone else.
But when she saw the words ‘strongest of the current era’ above Lou Wei’s head…
She couldn’t bring herself to speak.
She was scared to tears!
