Prince of Tennis: Reborn as a Cannon Fodder, I Become Everyone's Favorite

Liu Wenxi, a university student at a top school, unexpectedly dies from overwork while staying up late to finish a project. When she opens her eyes, she finds herself inside a Prince of Tennis fanfic as the villainous female extra who shares her name and is fated for a tragic end. The original Liu Wenxi is infatuated with Atobe Keigo and repeatedly hatches clumsy schemes to stop him from interacting with the “heroine.” Not only is she hated by the Ice Emperor students, but princes from other schools also see her as a nuisance. In the end, she is expelled for deliberately hurting someone and disappears from the story altogether.

Looking at the pretty yet spiteful face in the mirror, Liu Wenxi decisively gives up the original’s love-struck obsession. Rather than orbiting the princes, she’d rather focus on her studies and show off her talents at this elite school. A top student who excels in every subject, she easily takes first place in her year, dominates the math competition, and dazzles everyone with her foreign-language speech. She even trains her tennis skills to near-regular level in a short time. She can repair circuits, conduct experiments, write code, and even win countless fans at the school festival with her superb cooking.

At first, Atobe Keigo thinks this “Liu Wenxi” is just trying a new trick to make him chase her. But after repeatedly seeing her focused on her studies and calmly solving difficult problems, he gradually finds himself drawn to her dazzling independence. Tezuka Kunimitsu admires her respect for rules and her ability to go beyond them. Fuji Shusuke is intrigued by the intelligence in her eyes and her occasional slyness. Yukimura Seiichi is impressed by her resilience and ability to turn things around in desperate situations...

From a villainous extra hated by everyone to an “all-around goddess” whom princes from every school are eager to approach, Liu Wenxi proves with her abilities that it’s better to be a sun shining with your own light than a parasitic vine dependent on someone else!
