So many thoughts flew through her mind as Ling Qingyu sighed and kneaded her temple. Although she was rich and enjoying a leisurely life, she knew she couldn't stop.
Keep rising and prosper or be overtaken and pressed down. On the road, she was destined to work, she couldn't afford to spend leisurely.
What was Miss System's existence if she didn't endeavor in her journey? Even though she never heard once from Miss System, pressuring her to strive hard, Ling Qingyu understood she should assu responsibility.
Despite regarding the latter quote as bullshit, the stronger the strength, the bigger the responsibility. As a human being, that was a minimum value she must abide by to prevent herself from degeneration.
Ling Qingyu moved her limbs and felt them stiff. Oh, daily exercise and training wasn't done yet. Sure enough, people died under the peony skirt. She almost lost her discipline under Yang Qingyue's sugar treatnt.
As usual, Ling Qingyu asked her daughter for morning checks. "Athena, tell anything that catches your eye today."
"Sure, Mom. Today, let's begin with our province." Athena began to blah-blah-blah.
There weren't any substantial updates apart from the ss, she created last night. Internationally, ISIS didn't expand much yet but Ling Qingyu knew a bigger crisis awaited. They must be planning sothing deep.
As for whether Country C, she was a citizen of, would escape, she thought unlikely. Of course, compared to the nations on other continents, they shouldn't be targeted a lot, right?
Ling Qingyu's confidence wavered when she carefully considered the probabilities. In a few years or so, these aspects would be confird. Anyway, those who should have headaches shouldn't be her.
The next attractive news was about Country K. After Ling Qingyu delved into the hidden news and scandals, nationwide protests erupted and the fight hadn't died down yet, no matter how the governnt tried to persuade or force a crackdown.
The disobedience movent went viral, especially for won. To be honest, Ling Qingyu was a little astounded to see this country having so misogyny. Well, not so, totally misogynist.
Even the past life, Ling Qingyu, described as misogyny felt uncomfortable with Country K's culture and thoughts. She rely looked down on won and believed they couldn't achieve much.
Of course, that changed since she transmigrated. Too many talented won were found in the eastern side, compared to the west. Perhaps, spoiling effects might play a role here.
After all, during childhood, a person's distinct personality was forged. Whether the person was male or female, being spoiled was never good.
Let the son suffer and spoil the daughter, had been a famous saying for the parents. To hone the son to solve the challenges himself and to prevent the daughter from being cheated by outsiders sugarcoating.
Ling Qingyu disagreed. She might have nodded and thought this was true but it turned out the middle ground was the best solution. Spoiling and doting but not to the point where a person forgot actions and choice had consequences. Not pushing too hard to brew hatred between the parent and the child from abusive statents and actions.
Tang Ziyi was the pri example. Treated like a boy since childhood, she didn't turn into a weird tomboy. Well, let's forget about her orientation for a mont.
The upbringing from childhood was crucial for stronger ntal fortitude. Country K's case was different. A thorough societal suppression over the won from the norms to the practices.
Ling Qingyu never thought that a country which raised K-pop idols, particularly girls groups, would have such a dark side. Unlike other countries, it was displayed more obviously.
In this country, where they had utterly disgusting beauty standards, Ling Qingyu shivered at her luck for not transmigrating there. Although there were similar downsides in Country C, Ling Qingyu felt the problems weren't as extre as in Country K. Continue your adventure with My Virtual Library Empire
Based on the scandals she heard, these n didn't consider won as human beings but rather as tools to vent their desires.
The famous artists and idols poised like decorations to cater to the powerful people, selling sex and desire, particularly for females. Although these weren't solely in Country K since other countries shared similar deeds, especially in ancient tis when won were regarded as properties, Ling Qingyu figured as a modernized nation, this was still disgusting.
Even if so many people fought for justice and the n were sentenced under trial, the punishnt was rely 1-3 years. Murderers were imprisoned for only 10 years, for example in one case after raping a woman and killing her.
Not to ntion, these criminals, who had power and background, might be released on bail earlier with money and influence. Who knew if a person in jail was another stand-in?
Of course, many would say it was the poor who were oppressed but if one contemplated carefully, the elite won were treated similarly in a different manner. There were so many virtues and rules for won, regardless of the class. If one wanted to find how society works, always refer to the elites; the lower class would mimic them subtly in terms of culture.
Thinking of the girls' suicides after encountering despair and tragedy, Ling Qingyy's breath turned congested. If people didn't notice these, they would have thought it was a one-ti event.
Athena happened to draw the lists of known victims in the dia. Ling Qingyu swallowed with difficulty as her eyes scanned these nas. In order to beco famous, how much had they struggled yet was destroyed because of soone's desire?
Being able to beco artists ant their figures and appearances weren't bad. For them to suffer nightmares and ntal torture, Ling Qingyu didn't feel good, even more so when she knew the stuff inside out. The whole entertainnt seed like a gathering of prostitutes to accompany the chaebol.
That was the reason why she requested Athena to attack rcilessly and spread these cris to the public. Even then, instead of pursuing the real criminals, the governnt was focusing on the 'hackers'.
Ling Qingyu wasn't too surprised at the despicable turn of events. Apart from a few rapists, with no background or those who offended soone with so power, nobody received the judgnt of the law.
Unsurprisingly, there were indeed sexual harassnt cases both for n and won, worse for the female soldiers in this culture.
Ling Qingyu read about an outcry when the female soldier committed suicide after being drugged and humiliated by the superior.
She requested investigations to the relevant departnt and was ignored and then treated perfunctorily when the culprit had a background in the military. No matter what direction, she tried to seek help, she failed.
Furthermore, females fighting against males was a natural weakness in terms of strength to decide on confrontation. She couldn't do a thing.
As for why she killed herself, Ling Qingyu didn't know for sure but she could speculate about the follow-up events. Perhaps, the man forced her again with threats and whatnot.
Her death naturally sprouted flas of protests. The military court responded and rely issued expulsion from the military plus a light sentence of imprisonnt for less than a year.
Many similar cases existed around the world but the fact that criminals could roam around despite strong conclusive evidence depicted Country K's law as a joke. The law seed to treat criminals better than its ordinary citizens, who abided by the regulations.
A weak system, which required a revolutionary change from the citizens' movent. Nonetheless, not many seed to pay attention till recently Ling Qingyu ssed everything up.
The worst case, that struck Ling Qingyu hard, was about a female student being violated by more than 50 classmates. None of them were arrested or charged.
Apparently, that was the reason why Ling Qingyu also disagreed with punishnt for false accusations, even if the conduct was correct, in her opinion.
Given free will, victims dared not confess and helped the judicial process. If another law for punishnt if they lied appeared, that would be a huge blow unless one could guarantee the justice system was absolutely fair.
On the other hand, so were exploiting these loopholes to snare the n, ruining their original lives. According to Athena's analysis, a growing trend of anti-feminism was on the rise.
Not that Ling Qingyu blad the n around the world too much since a few reasons were reasonable. But feminism must go on to protect the victims and resist chauvinism that could easily co back.
Balance was essential. The world is never black or white. Like a struggle between a king and nobles for centralization and decentralization. If one disappeared, a disaster ca in.
Likewise, if feminism disappeared, the old trend would rise again along with the support of so interest groups, particularly the influencers who sought trouble to attract attention.
Ling Qingyu hated those groups of people, exhibiting themselves as so kind of experts and portraying their opinions as truth while exploiting young n's emotions.
Forget it. There was nothing she could do. Ling Qingyu shrugged and rembered sothing. "Athena, hunt down those fifty n who hurt the girl."
"Eh, Mom ant the boys from Country K?"
"Yeah, the boys seem to think being young ant no consequences. Show them how wrong they are." Ling Qingyu snickered. "Hire killers and give them a cruel punishnt. It's best if we can spread them online."
"Mom, won't our action create trouble?"
"Troubles? I should stay low but my heart can't stand the pain." Ling Qingyu sighed heavily. "Go ahead. Once we are absolutely certain of the culprits' acts, you can post a mission and rewards. The sa applies to the rich second generation. Since they see money as their advantage and power, how about we show them, how money can kill them too."
"Yes, Ma'am." Athena sounded so eager. Was her hearing wrong?
Ling Qingyu blinked her eyes with confusion. With Athena's assistance, should she manipulate Country K's politics? Her hand itched at a re consideration.
"Why do you sound so joyful?" Ling Qingyu asked.
"Because justice is served, Mom," Athena replied succinctly.
Ling Qingyu hoped her daughter didn't step toward a crooked path. Having a saint's heart wasn't easy to survive if she was too innocent.
Only those with dark sides and strong manipulative ability, could beco a virgin and survive under enemies' attack, and Ling Qingyu intended to do just that.
