If one were compelled to point out what differentiated An Siqi's actions against Shi Yaoguang from the outcome she now faces,
It would likely be their disposition.
Shi Yaoguang was able to control public opinion when it was upturned against her.
At the same time, she could soberly and rationally identify the problem and clear her own name.
An Siqi was like a rat in the sewer, only capable of doing things behind the scenes that harmed others without benefiting herself.
In fact, this wasn't the first time she had done such things.
Ever since she was adopted by the An Family, she had hurt her classmates and friends on several occasions.
The reason she had managed to live unscathed until now was that the people she had manipulated were too meek.
If any of them had been more twisted inside, they would have retaliated long ago, and certainly would not have let someone who had harmed them like An Siqi get off scot-free.
