"Who says only those standing in the spotlight are heroes~"
As the morning military training ended, many dismissed students hummed the tune in unison. Under the scorching sun, a drenched young man continued his drills, chest puffed out—if he wasn’t embarrassed, then the embarrassment belonged to everyone else.
When lunch break arrived, Ye Shuang was about to head out for food with Yu You and the others when a group of girls swarmed around him, chattering away as they asked for his contact info.
"Hey, instructor, you’re so handsome! Are you a guy?"
"You’re not the instructor, right? You don’t look like a teacher either—are you a senior?"
"My cat can do backflips! Wanna come see? It’s in my dorm."
Not far away—
"Wow, big bro’s as popular as ever," Tang Keke remarked. No surprise there—good looks always got you far.
Not that Keke was unused to it.
"Meh." An Shiyu stuffed her hands in her pockets, utterly unfazed. "Just the reddest monkey butt in the jungle."
Tang Keke: "That’s… a compliment, right?"
"Maybe."
Your way of praising people is truly something else.
Just as Ye Shuang was searching for an excuse, he felt a familiar warmth wrap around his arm. Turning, he saw Bai Yuyou glaring at the girls, her territorial aura making them instinctively step back.
"Eat," she murmured.
"Huh? Oh."
With that, Bai Yuyou dragged him away.
"What’s wrong?" Ye Shuang asked softly as they walked, noticing how she clung to his arm.
"Keke lied."
Ye Shuang: "?"
Bai Yuyou let go—only to throw herself into his embrace, pressing so close it was like she wanted to merge with him. "No games. Just hold me."
Her warmth and emotions burned hotter than usual. Though confused, Ye Shuang instinctively wrapped an arm around her waist, his other hand gently stroking her hair. She nuzzled against him, as if addicted to his scent.
But while Bai Yuyou buried herself in his chest like an ostrich, Ye Shuang’s thoughts drifted elsewhere—
Did these two have a fight?
Just then, Tang Keke and An Shiyu caught up. Ye Shuang asked, "Keke, did you and Yu You argue?"
Keke blinked. "Huh?"
But seeing how clingy Bai Yuyou was being, she tapped her chin with a finger shaped like a "7."
"In a way, the strategy worked—just aimed at the wrong target."
After replenishing her "Ye Shuang energy," Bai Yuyou’s spirits visibly lifted—even her usually droopy ahoge perked up.
She ate three extra bowls of rice.
"After military training, the sports festival’s next, right?" Ye Shuang mused during lunch.
School life always circled back to sports festivals. This academy seemed to have an event every other month.
"Hard pass. I’ve never done well in those," Tang Keke groaned.
An Shiyu twirled her chopsticks, propping her cheek on one hand.
"Hard to win when you’re carrying extra weight."
Tang Keke puffed her cheeks. "I’m mad now."
"So cruel. Should’ve left you to your fate back then," An Shiyu sighed. "And here I thought you’d let me tease you forever. Women are fickle—especially the top-heavy ones."
Keke recalled her tearful vows of gratitude and deflated. "…Sorry."
"Say, ‘Forgive me, Lady Fish! Please bully me!’" An Shiyu grinned.
"Y-You—!"
An Shiyu shrugged dramatically. "Ah well. Should’ve known… give an inch, take a mile…"
"Fine! Lady Fish, forgive me! Please bully me!"
"Not bad." An Shiyu smirked.
Ye Shuang sighed. "An Shiyu, stop picking on Keke."
Then, to Bai Yuyou: "Yu You, are you joining the festival?"
"Yes."
"I’ll cheer for you!" Keke chirped.
"And you?" Ye Shuang asked An Shiyu.
She looked bored. "Where’s the challenge? Unless… last-place class gets their heads shaved?"
Ye Shuang: "…"
That’s brutal.
As lunch ended, it was almost time to regroup.
Back at his post, Ye Shuang spotted the sun-baked boy from earlier—now holding boba tea—marching straight toward Bai Yuyou.
"Hey, taro boba. Want some?" The boy flashed what he thought was a dazzling smile. "Gotta stay hydrated in this heat—"
"Supplement."
Bai Yuyou tilted her head, then glanced at Tang Keke, who was equally baffled.
Dude, we don’t even know you.
"No, thank you," Bai Yuyou replied softly but firmly.
"After this, I’ll take you for a spin in my ride. Show you the city lights," he boasted. "It’s a little convertible—Dad’s gift for my 18th. Only 700-800k."
"No need."
Eyes turned toward the spectacle, but the boy basked in the attention.
"Sure? I added coconut jelly."
Bai Yuyou paused, then enunciated: "No."
He sniffed, jingling his keys. "Fine. Plenty of girls wanna ride with me anyway."
"Last chance?"
"No."
With a dramatic sigh, he turned to An Shiyu.
"Oi, you take it. Let’s cruise later."
An Shiyu, who’d been watching like this was trash TV, blinked slowly—her gaze pure disdain.
"Hah?"
Unlike Bai Yuyou’s polite refusal, she cut straight to the point:
"Piss off."
And so, for the rest of military training, the boy continued his solo sunbathing session.
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
ose... to cooperate with the protagonist! Shen Yuan: I have a system! Protagonist: What? System: Holy crap, you're just spilling it out like that? Shen Yuan: Let's team up, we'll split the system rewards! Protagonist: Fifty-fifty split? Shen Yuan: No way! Protagonist: What!? I'm the one getting beaten up, and I don't get half? Shen Yuan: Forty-sixty split, I get forty, you get sixty! Protagonist: Deal! Big brother, come on, hit me! As long as it doesn't kill me, beat me like you mean it! Shen Yuan: Don't worry... I will definitely protect all of you! No one but me can lay a finger on you! Guard our Heaven's Chosen Ones! I'm the only one allowed to bully them!
villain is the number one simp for the book's leading female protagonist, Shen Wan'er. As expected, he later becomes a tool for the main character to show off and slap faces, ultimately meeting a tragic end with his family ruined and his life in shambles. Fortunately, he awakens the [Universal Pure Love System], which allows him to earn points by performing acts of pure love. To change his fate, Gu Yan makes a decisive choice to seek warmth and companionship with the book's biggest villain—Cold Qingqiu. ........... My name is Leng Qingqiu. To find the murderer who killed my parents years ago, I deliberately blinded myself so that everyone would lower their guard around me. Just as I was secretly accumulating power and capital according to my initial plan, a man walked into my world. "Lengleng, Qingqing, Qiuqiu, which nickname do you prefer?" I don't like any of them. You'd better leave quickly! "Why aren't you saying anything? How about I call you my baby wife?" Leng Qingqiu thinks to herself, this man is truly annoying! (Stubborn pure love warrior + single female lead + true pure love + 1v1)
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
