To stay alive, academic prodigy Lin Xi bonded with a romance System. Her goal was to raise school bully Shen Yanzhu’s affection for her to 100%.

But the mission was difficult. Shen Yanzhu was hot and cold toward her, as if he were looking at the shadow of someone else through her. Everyone said she was just a stand-in for the school bully’s long-dead first love.

Lin Xi gritted her teeth and kept going, but just as the mission was about to succeed, all her memories returned

Looking at Shen Yanzhu, his eyes red with tears, she asked softly, “Are all those paintings you made of me...?”

[Reader’s Guide and Content Warnings]

· Core premise: System-driven romance + campus love + rekindled childhood romance. A cool-on-the-outside, warm-on-the-inside academic prodigy × a tough-on-the-outside, devoted-puppy school bully. One-to-one romance, mutual devotion, happy ending.

· Core trope: The stand-in

· Story tone: Overall lighthearted and healing, with twists and turns but nothing heartbreaking. The early chapters have some amusing complications caused by the System’s missions; the middle and later chapters focus on mutual devotion, sweetness, and healing.

· Important content notes:

1. The System is a plot device, not a third party, and will eventually bow out after fulfilling its purpose.

2. No messy love triangles; any rivals are actually there to help the couple. No serious misunderstandings; all the conflict comes from childhood trauma and a lack of information.

3. The leads spend the whole story clearing up misunderstandings and healing each other, with devotion and faithfulness at its heart.
