Jiang Mian couldn't help remembering that strange look when they'd first met.
That explained it.
"Aberrants' children don't necessarily become aberrants themselves, but they're still treated just the same."
Jiang Li's thoughts stirred, and her smooth, jet-black hair turned entirely a lifeless white,
while an eerie wine-red glow shimmered in her pupils, making her look just like some aberrants.
This was what she truly looked like.
"After all, they inherit traits from their aberrant parent, so they're far more likely to become aberrants than ordinary people."

It was hard to believe that an aberrant's descendant could awaken as [Origin].
But before she awakened, she had probably always had this appearance.
Even though the Jiang Family was relatively open-minded, living in the Core Circle meant she couldn't avoid the secret whispers and pointing fingers of other families.

But when a human gained this ability,
