Su Nian transmigrates into a campus romance as the villainess, and the System forces her to win over the gloomy antagonist, Lu Huai. Seeing the original heroine’s gruesome ending, Su Nian tears up the System’s mission sheet instead. Win over the antagonist? She’d rather do practice problems.
She wipes away her tears, picks up her textbooks, and sets clear goals: outdo the top students, earn a recommendation for university, and become financially independent. When the original heroine uses her sweet-and-sour act to frame her, Su Nian hits back with a recording. When the System threatens her with death, she calmly negotiates a transfer to a study System.
But she gradually realizes that the gloomy antagonist she was supposed to win over is looking at her in a way that’s increasingly hard to explain. He tosses her notes full of problem-solving methods, quietly provides hard evidence when she’s being picked on, and finally corners her against a wall, eyes red. “I’ll tutor you. One problem for one condition.”
Su Nian: “...What condition?”
Lu Huai bends toward her, his breath hot. “Start by becoming my girlfriend.”
A clear-eyed, charming beauty with high emotional intelligence × a jealous academic ace who falls for her all on his own: a story of mutual redemption that turns the usual tropes on their head.
