(This is not a Fake Scum fanfic!!! Sorry, I didn't think carefully about the title when I first came up with it 😂)
The searing pain of falling from the roof of the teaching building had yet to fade when Lin Wan opened her eyes and found herself back on the first day of high school, the starting point of every tragedy. In her previous life, she had been the “bookworm” driven to desperation by the school belle Su Weiwei’s jealousy and school bully Shen Si, who led the others in locking her in the equipment room. This time, she poured scalding milk tea over herself, then began her carefully planned revenge as Shen Si sneered, “What an idiot,” and Su Weiwei watched with feigned concern.
She concealed her sharpness as a top-ten student, playing the role of a timid, foolish underachiever, and deliberately stepped into Shen Si’s shadow. When he took an interest in her and offered his protection, saying carelessly, “Your grades are so bad. I’ll look after you from now on,” she lowered her head obediently. But late at night, she typed up A Revenge Strategy Guide on an anonymous forum. A voice recorder was her weapon, capturing the malice beneath Su Weiwei’s smile, as well as the shiver-inducing sound of Shen Si’s breathing whenever he came close.
With every move carefully planned, she toyed with her enemies as if they were in the palm of her hand. On the school anniversary night, as Su Weiwei stood beneath the spotlight basking in adulation, Lin Wan pressed send. The giant screen abruptly changed, and a recording of the school belle bullying the weak blew the whole event wide open! Her perfect mask crumbled.
Amid the chaos, Shen Si pinned her against the cold rooftop, his fingertips brushing the side of her neck. “Was it fun pretending to be a bad student and fooling me?” His eyes held the anger of a man who had been deceived, along with a stirring he himself had yet to notice.
Meeting his gaze, Lin Wan raised her phone. Its ghostly glow illuminated her resolute smile. “Shen Si, guess who the next prey to have their reputation destroyed will be… you?”
In this game played in the name of hatred, who is the real hunter?
