As is well known,
In any game or anime, the minions always have it rough—either getting clubbed to death in two hits and dropping coins, or passing out when the top-tier bosses clash with their Conqueror's Haki.
Seriously, come on, he's the protagonist, okay? Naturally, he can't just pass out like the others... Hold on, let me change my pants first.
Ye Cheng currently feels like the two people in front of him are stacking buffs and rage on each other. Once their buffs are fully stacked, they'll separate and take turns dealing with him, furiously spamming skills at him.
How can a single word like "miserable" possibly cover it?
Stop talking, young lady! If you keep going, the Student Council President is going to mutate!
However, Ye Cheng truly has no say in the matter. He can't get a word in edgewise with these two, let alone try to speak up now to defend the President's side. That's a joke... a guaranteed death sentence!
Right now, Ye Cheng is like a useless... something, just watching from the sidelines, unable to do anything... NO!!!
Under normal circumstances, if the President saw the young lady looking so confused, she would instantly realize the problem wasn't with the young lady; someone else was behind the vote manipulation.
But... now, with her rage fully stacked, the President is no longer willing to think about such things. There's a saying, isn't there? When suspicion arises, the guilt is already established.
Under the influence of this "fury" state buff, the President, who once suspected the young lady of vote manipulation, no longer cares about the actual truth. Whether she did it or not, she's guilty!
So, what is the actual truth?
The truth is... it was the doing of a certain inherently wicked madam.
Let's rewind time to over ten hours ago.
Shen Family Mansion.
Du Wanyi was lounging lazily on the sofa like a salted fish, sprawled out in a very unladylike manner, chewing on a banana while watching the latest popular brainless short drama on the screen in front of her.
"Hehe... good, love it."
Like Ye Cheng, Du Wanyi inexplicably enjoys these brainless things. Even though she knows they're stupid, she just can't help but watch, wanting to see just how outrageous they can get.
You can't find these outrageous things in normal TV dramas. If you don't watch them now, you'll miss out!
While waiting for an ad to finish, Du Wanyi, having nothing better to do, took out her phone and started scrolling, muttering to herself, "So boring, why isn't there anything good to look at..."
As if struck by a thought, Du Wanyi perked up, a mischievous grin spreading across her face. She silently logged into the "student account" of Ye Cheng's university. As for how she got the account... Hehehe, a clever madam has her ways!
Once logged in, Du Wanyi felt like she had discovered a new world. She began clicking on the campus wall, confession wall, and student forum, reading each one with great relish, occasionally letting out an "evil" "hehe" chuckle.
She even forgot about her brainless short drama, completely immersed in the joy of being a "student."
Back when Du Wanyi was in school, she was a regular on the campus hot topic list, often stirring up trouble that left teachers and students miserable, who couldn't wait to see her graduate.
Du Wanyi didn't finish her studies; she found it uninteresting halfway through and went home. Honestly, at her level, attending school or not was irrelevant; she received the most elite education anyway.
Going to school was just to see if there were any interesting antics to be found, nothing more.
Life is too boring and needs some fun as garnish.
When the young lady was home before, Madam Du could amuse herself by teasing her, even though she'd end up getting beaten up, she never tired of it.
Later, when the young lady went off to school, she rarely came back. The huge mansion was left with only Du Wanyi.
Eagerly, Madam Du hoped her precious daughter would get married soon and have a little one, so she could become a grandmother. A mini-version of Little Hanhan—just thinking about it is fun!
In the past, Du Wanyi held little hope for a "little young lady," since the young lady's sexual orientation wasn't clear back then. But now... their Little Hanhan is definitely straight!
All that over-the-top stuff before was just for fun, teasing little Chengcheng, and he actually got angry... truly hurtful to Mama...
Also, she wondered, if it were a boy, would he be as good-looking as little Chengcheng?
While lost in these random thoughts and scrolling through posts, a rather unusual post suddenly caught Du Wanyi's attention.
"[Shocking, Simp Transforms into Wolf Warrior! The Dongfang Family's Young Lady, Current Student Council President Dongfang Zhixia, and the Shen Family's Young Heir Suffer 'Foul Play'!]"
Du Wanyi: "???"
This is the terror of clickbait titles. Just the headline alone hooked the inherently suspicious Madam Du. Even if this post charged a fee, Du Wanyi would have topped up without hesitation!
If it's a scam, Ye Cheng will just have to accept it!
Du Wanyi clicked on the post and started reading carefully.
"Simp turns Wolf Warrior, the scheming poor boy..."
"The Dongfang Family Young Lady's simp is online..."
"The untold secrets with the Shen Family's young heir..."
"Malicious intentions, playing both sides, the distortion of humanity and the decay of morality..."
The further Du Wanyi read, the more she realized the person who wrote this post had serious "attack power," and the logic was extremely rigorous, the kind with solid evidence.
It portrayed Ye Cheng as a despicable, shameless social climber, which infuriated Du Wanyi.
"This is just nonsense. How could my little Chengcheng be that kind of person? Reported..." Du Wanyi pouted, puffing her cheeks in anger, feeling indignant on Ye Cheng's behalf. She's not a fool; how could she not see what kind of person Ye Cheng is?
Her little Chengcheng is so adorable, how could he possibly be some scheming guy? Besides, as long as their Little Hanhan likes him, so what if he's scheming? Being scheming means the kid isn't stupid; he's clever!
Silently, Du Wanyi was about to click report. Just before submitting the materials, her finger paused.
Wait... something seems off?
Du Wanyi narrowed her eyes, sat up straight from the sofa, and scrutinized the entire post again, not missing a single detail.
A moment later.
Du Wanyi understood!
The entire densely packed text spelled out a few words... this person is mine!
On the surface, it seemed to be listing Ye Cheng's flaws, how utterly inhuman he was. But in reality, there was a deeper meaning: to make readers subconsciously dislike Ye Cheng upon finishing the article.
Looking closely, while it superficially supported both young ladies and even included a poll, its actual purpose was to subconsciously steer both young ladies away from choosing Ye Cheng.
"A snipe and a clam locked in combat?" Du Wanyi narrowed her eyes, seemingly pondering something. So, it seems there's a fisherman at the school waiting to reap the benefits?
Du Wanyi was indeed a little devil, but she was not stupid at all. After just a few more glances, she immediately spotted the crux of the matter. This post wasn't meant for either side to choose; it was meant to make both sides give up!
It was a ploy to reap the benefits from a conflict between others.
How clever this person is...
"I almost fell for it. Good thing this lady is smart!" Du Wanyi said with a proud look, planning to send a message to her own Little Hanhan later, warning him to be wary of ill-intentioned people at school.
For all she knew, this post might have been written by that little girl from the Dongfang family!
Du Wanyi now saw everyone as an enemy, everyone as ill-intentioned. However... before sending a message to warn her Little Hanhan, she had one more thing to do.
"Little Lanlan, come here quickly!!!"
"There's a very, very important matter, concerning the future survival of our Du family. Come quickly..."
Du Wanyi shrieked at the top of her lungs, running barefoot and pitter-pattering all over the big mansion...
And then...
In the span of one night, the number of votes supporting the young lady skyrocketed from a few hundred to several thousand, finally reaching over ten thousand by morning. This was all Du Wanyi's handiwork!
Little Hanhan, don't worry, mommy didn't let you down!!!
Hmm... that's right, this is the truth of the matter. The MVP of cross-temporal support, Mrs. Du.
Now, back to the present.
The Student Council President, who had been hit by several "average" remarks from the young lady in a row, suddenly smiled a strange smile. Seeing this familiar smile, Ye Cheng felt an inexplicable tightness in his chest.
Oh no!!!
This was aimed right at him!
"Young lady, um, I really need to use the bathroom, let's go quickly!" Ye Cheng's "poor man's intuition" was screaming warnings, telling him if he didn't run now, it would be too late!!!
Ye Cheng even resorted to force, grabbing the young lady's hand to make a run for it.
The sudden "hand-holding" snapped the young lady, who was still confronting the President, out of her thoughts. A flicker of surprise appeared in her eyes, seemingly curious about how Ye Cheng had suddenly become so "brave."
The young lady's face flushed slightly. She was stunned for a moment but didn't struggle, allowing Ye Cheng to "lead" her by the hand as they walked outside.
"Darling, where are you going?"
The "devilish" voice of the President came from behind, carrying a hint of amusement.
"Didn't you say you liked me the most? That you'd send me flowers every day for 99 days, and on the 100th day, I would..." At this point, Dongfang Zhixia became "coy," leaving endless room for imagination.
Ye Cheng: "???"
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ... [The Eldest Princess's Diary] [When my soul was extracted, becoming the sole spectator outside my own shell] [At first, there was overwhelming fury, until I saw] [How he used my sword to effortlessly shatter my inescapable doom] [How he wielded my authority to eradicate fatal conspiracies I had never even detected] [Like a deity, he rescued me from the deep mire I was trapped in] [If not for those annoying vixens, he and I would be a match made in heaven] [I think I am ill, gravely ill] [My deity should belong to me alone] ... "Hypnosis? Oh, it succeeded, my dear Master." "Only this time, it's my turn to hypnotize you."
+【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!
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)
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
