After wandering around the school area without finding a barbershop, Lin Yu ran into another familiar face.
Tang Manman!
Her again!
Stopping in his tracks, Lin Yu watched from a distance as the girl was surrounded by a group of tough-looking delinquent girls. He couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.
What was up with Tang Manman?
Did she have some kind of special constitution?
Was her body made of soft persimmons or something?
Did everyone feel like they could just push her around?
Seeing Tang Manman cornered by the aggressive girls, Lin Yu hesitated. To avoid getting too involved with her, he decided to hold back for now and observe the situation first.
Pressing himself against the wall, he crept closer to Tang Manman and the gang, hiding at the corner to secretly watch the conflict unfold...
"You little bitch, how dare you seduce my man?"
"You got a death wish or something?"
A girl with long purple hair, clearly the leader of the pack, raised her hand high and slapped Tang Manman hard across the face.
Tang Manman, her thin frame barely concealed by her oversized school uniform, staggered from the blow, nearly falling to the ground.
When she turned her face back, her fair left cheek was already flushed a deep red, and it would surely swell within minutes.
This time, instead of running away like before, she stood her ground, her eyes red as she desperately tried to explain, hoping to clear up what she thought was a misunderstanding.
"I—I didn’t."
"I really don’t know who you’re talking about."
"You must have the wrong person."
"You still dare to lie to my face?!"
"You’re asking for it!"
Without another word, the purple-haired delinquent raised her hand again to strike Tang Manman.
Truth be told, the moment she saw Tang Manman’s striking beauty, she had already guessed part of the truth.
Maybe what happened at noon wasn’t entirely this girl’s fault.
The purple-haired girl knew exactly what kind of scum her boyfriend was—a total lecher, reincarnated!
A girl this pretty? He’d never let her off easy.
So she was probably forced into it.
But so what?
Even if she understood the situation and knew the girl was innocent, the purple-haired delinquent had no intention of letting her go.
That flawless face of hers made her burn with envy.
And besides—
Who said she wasn’t to blame?
The fact that she was prettier than her was already a crime!
If she wasn’t so damn beautiful, her boyfriend wouldn’t have gone after her in the first place.
She was still at fault!
The girl’s delicate features drove the purple-haired delinquent mad with jealousy. This time, as she swung her hand, she deliberately curled her fingers, aiming to rake her sharp, manicured nails across Tang Manman’s face.
She’d make sure she could never use that pretty face to seduce another man again.
Especially when she had the nerve to act all pitiful and innocent afterward!
Tang Manman might be timid, but she wasn’t stupid.
Even an idiot would flinch when hit.
As the purple-haired girl’s hand came down again, Tang Manman raised her arm to shield her face.
The long, sharp nails scraped harmlessly against her forearm.
Instead, one of the fake nails caught at a bad angle and snapped off, tearing the real nail beneath. Blood slowly seeped from the cuticle of her ring finger.
"I—I’m sorry."
Seeing the purple-haired girl bleeding, Tang Manman paled and instinctively apologized.
"You filthy slut!"
The purple-haired girl wasn’t having any of it. With a furious shout, she kicked Tang Manman to the ground, then barked at her lackeys:
"Strip her!"
At their leader’s command, the rainbow-haired gang pounced, pinning Tang Manman down and tearing at her faded school uniform.
They’d clearly done this before.
Each had a role—some held her wrists, others pinned her legs, while the rest yanked at her clothes.
And they knew exactly how to break their victim’s spirit to keep her from fighting back.
At first, Tang Manman struggled fiercely, so they abandoned the clothes momentarily to beat her instead.
Once she was in too much pain to resist, they resumed stripping her. After a few rounds of this, Tang Manman was too battered to fight back. She could only curl into herself, clutching her clothes desperately.
When the girls still couldn’t pry her hands loose, one of them pulled out a sharp razor from her pocket and slashed at Tang Manman’s uniform.
Her last line of defense was gone.
The purple-haired girl smirked in satisfaction, pulling out her phone and aiming it at Tang Manman as her gang continued their assault.
"You love seducing men so much, huh?"
"Then I’ll make sure the whole school sees what a whore you really are!"
She was going to ruin her today. Once those nude photos spread, no one would want her, no matter how pretty she was.
From his hiding spot, Lin Yu sighed helplessly as he watched the scene unfold.
At this point, he had no choice but to step in.
If those photos got out, forget about a happy future with her childhood sweetheart—if Tang Manman could even survive the humiliation without breaking down, it’d be a miracle.
Stepping out from the corner, Lin Yu shouted at the group:
"What the hell are you doing?!"
The purple-haired girl flinched at the sudden roar. She whipped her head around, eyes blazing, ready to tear into whoever dared interfere with HY High’s self-proclaimed "Queen Bee."
But the moment she saw who it was, the fire in her eyes vanished, doused by a bucket of cold fear.
"L-Long Ge?"
Forcing a shaky smile, the purple-haired girl stammered out a greeting as Lin Yu strode toward them.

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?

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
