Chapter 365
Morwenna was still at school, lugging packages around. Lorna and Keira had already gone off to set up a fan club for Morwenna. At school, Morwenna was something of a celebrity. At the freshman welcome party, she had given a speech as the representative of the new students and performed a skit with the drama king Matthew Green. She stood up to the formidable Sandra without fear and took on the arduous task of managing package deliveries for students at school. Indeed, Morwenna had caught the attention of many.
Rosefrost University, renowned and attended by students from across the nation, had its fair share of ordinary backgrounds, nothing like the heirs and heiresses of the Rosefrost Hollow elites. They quietly went about their studies, avoiding mistakes and staying under the radar. They tried their best to blend in, to not stand out for lacking in any way. In the dazzling and affluent Rosefrost Hollow, they hid their insecurities. But Morwenna was an exception. She came from a background more modest than anyone's, from the far-flung mountains. She never hid her impoverished upbringing; she didn't even care about appearances. Every day, she would be seen running around the campus with loads of packages, her eyes set firmly on making money.
There was a resilient and sunny quality about her, an air of confidence and pride in her stride. They couldn't be like Morwenna, but that didn't stop them from admiring someone like her. That's why Morwenna unexpectedly became one of the hot candidates for the campus queen. At Rosefrost University, the title of campus queen was decided by a student vote. In the past, the title had mostly gone to members of the big families from Rosefrost Hollow. Brilliant, wealthy, beautiful—these were the usual winners of the campus community's support. But this year, Morwenna, the anomaly, had won the support of the majority of ordinary students. Many of these students, who usually wouldn't bother voting on the forum, were now casting their votes for Morwenna. Supporting Morwenna was like supporting the ordinary in themselves.

After Lorna and Keira stepped in, a fan club was quickly established. Lorna, ever the generous one, promised a friendship gift pack for everyone who joined the group. No sooner had she announced
this than the forum saw a surge of naysayers under Morwenna's support threads. Lorna, not one to back down easily, turned into a warrior, clashing with the detractors. Keira, left with no choice, took on the task of organizing the group herself. Thankfully, this was all happening online; face-to-face, Keira's shyness might have prevented her from rallying people. The fan club had just been set up when numerous people joined spontaneously. Considering that many had supported Morwenna even without an organized campaign, it was no surprise that the numbers swelled once there was a structure in place.
Meanwhile, Morwenna continued her package deliveries, her popularity soaring. This development irked the other campus queen hopefuls. The standout candidates for campus queen this year were Carolyn and Morwenna. Initially, their popularity was neck and neck. But in just a short span, Morwenna had surged ahead of Carolyn.
Carolyn, dressed in a white ball gown and wearing heels, was playing the piano at a club meeting. Her entourage, gathered around her, browsed the school forum's popularity rankings and discussed. "Xinlei, they must be buying votes, they've surpassed us." "Why the rush? They're luring people with gift packs. But what's in these packs? Toilet paper or laundry detergent? After all, Morwenna is just a poor girl making money off deliveries. How much can she really afford to spend on this competition?" "You're right. Xinlei, your family fully supports you. How can that country bumpkin compare to you?"
Carolyn stopped playing, her tone graceful, "Let's not speak ill of her. Morwenna isn't half bad, I've read her articles. They're quite authentic."
