[Ding!]
[Critical hit! The Saint's dashing entrance catches the mountain ogre off guard!]
[Reward: 50 spirit stones]
Lin Yu's sudden appearance left Jiang Yangmei frozen in place.
Ye Mengfu?
She actually has a boyfriend?
And such a handsome one at that?
Given her personality, how could she possibly be in a relationship?
Yet the way he introduced himself so casually suggested their relationship must be quite solid—like they'd been together for a long time.
Guan Bao's surprised expression carried a hint of regret.
Lin Yu recognized that look all too well.
"Xiao Fu, seems like life's been treating you well after graduation."
"Hope you two have fun. Come on, hubby, let's not bother them."
Jiang Yangmei urgently tugged at Guan Bao, trying to drag him away.
But Guan Bao stood firm, unmoved by her weak attempts.
It was obvious.
Jiang Yangmei knew exactly what kind of man her "hubby" was.
That's why she was so desperate to leave.
Yet the great artist had no intention of going anywhere.
In fact, he launched into a full-blown monologue right then and there:
"Since we're all friends, no need to rush off."
"Xiao Mei, isn't it rare to run into your classmate like this?"
"Let's chat a bit more and get to know each other."
"We're all alumni from Pingchuan Art Institute—this is fate!"
"I'm a senior by a few years. Currently running an illustration stock website with some friends."
"Not super famous yet, only about 30,000 registered members."
"What do you two do for work?"
Lin Yu smiled without answering.
Who asked you?
Turns out he's a master of humblebragging!
Trying to impress with career achievements to catch a girl's eye?
The only one who'd fall for that would be someone like Jiang Yangmei.
Daring to flirt with his Xiao Fufu?
What audacity!
Lin Yu replied with a smile:
"Senior Guan, I'm not from the art institute."
"I'm an undergrad at Pingchuan University, just in my third year."
"My girlfriend's an illustrator—probably similar to what your 'wife' does."
[Ding!]
[Critical hit! The stark contrast between the mountain ogre's follower and the Saint creates envy in the ogre's heart!]
[Reward: 50 spirit stones]
Jiang Yangmei: "!!!"
A third-year student?
No wonder he looks so young.
That would mean Ye Mengfu is two years older than this Lin Yu?
She actually landed herself a younger boyfriend!
Meanwhile, her own man...
Well.
Even before sleeping with Guan Bao, she knew exactly what she wanted.
Looks don't pay the bills.
Life needs bread—material things.
Annoying as it was,
she'd never trade for a handsome but penniless guy.
Guan Bao's smile widened at Lin Yu's introduction.
His eyes clearly said:
A college kid?
So no job then?
What career could he possibly have?
Just some poor loser—
how could he compare to an accomplished "success" like me?
He continued:
"Hubby and wifey are just pet names between us."
"We've only been dating a few months, not actually married yet."
Lin Yu nodded:
"Oh~ I see. I thought you were already married."
Jiang Yangmei: "???"
Damn this Guan Bao!
Why explain so much to a stranger?
Just a brainless creature who can't take his eyes off Ye Mengfu!
Same as when he met Jiang Yangmei—
showing off and flirting until she took the bait.
Now he dares do this right in front of her?
Jiang Yangmei: "We're still young, no rush to..."
Before she could finish, Guan Bao cut her off:
"Really envy you college kids these days—much better conditions than we had."
"Junior Ye, as an illustrator, do you work for a website or a manga company?"
Simple questions,
but clearly just trying to bypass Lin Yu and dig into Xiao Fufu's life.
"I..."
Ye Mengfu sensed the ill intent in his words.
She tugged at Lin Yu's sleeve, silently begging not to engage.
Lin Yu had no intention of making her respond.
He answered instead:
"Both. Freelance, so more flexible with time."
Guan Bao brightened.
Throw a rock at ten art graduates, eight won't have relevant jobs.
A pretty girl in the industry without stable work?
Perfect target for his "talents"!
This was his specialty!
"Absolutely right! Freelance submissions—I'm so jealous."
"Oh, hey!"
"Let's exchange WeChat contacts!"
"If you have good pieces, maybe feature them on my site."
"I'll send the URL later—you might've used it before."
Guan Bao patted his pockets, then turned to Jiang Yangmei:
"Xiao Mei, do you have my phone?"
"Get it out—let's swap contacts with your classmate... and this young man."
Jiang Yangmei: "..."
Now you remember she's my classmate?
Leaving me aside to chat away.
If anyone should add her, it's me!
Your intentions are way too obvious!
No way she'd let Guan Bao have his way.
If he really added Ye Mengfu, facing off against some poor college kid...
where would that leave her?
"I have Xiao Fu's WeChat. I'll share it with you later—no need now."
"We've already taken up enough of this couple's time. Let's not interrupt."
Her face screamed "let's go already!"
But messing with his Xiao Fufu and thinking of leaving so easily?
Not a chance!
"Senior Guan, since they already have each other's contacts, how about you and I connect?"
"Your illustration site sounds interesting."
"Maybe we could exchange ideas sometime?"
Lin Yu enthusiastically pulled out his phone.
Guan Bao froze again.
All that talk was to reel in the girl.
How did he end up hooking the male student instead?
But having made the offer, refusing now would seem rude.
"Sure, let's be friends."
"Feel free to browse the site and like some illustrations."

【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty! Reward: 1000 Gold Coins.】 Shen Nian: "Wait, I’m a high school senior here—did some guy who got isekai’d accidentally bind his system to me?" Hold on, completing quests gives gold rewards? Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
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!
