I Became the Male Lead's High-Maintenance Ex-Girlfriend, and Now I Want to Break Up and Pursue Science

Gu Jiaxin transmigrated into a book, becoming the shallow,

vulgar, pretty-but-useless cannon-fodder character in a campus novel.

In the original story, the male lead was a genius with a sky-high IQ, a brilliant scientist and a future pillar of the nation.

The original owner, meanwhile, only knew how to act cute and clingy, holding him back from getting ahead,

before being crushed by the equally outstanding female lead and cruelly abandoned.

The System warned her: “Keep up your spoiled, troublemaking act. Demand kisses and cuddles every day, and wait for him to dump you!”

Gu Jiaxin: “You got it! I know exactly how to do this!”

So

When the male lead stayed up late in the lab, she texted him: “You don’t love me anymore. You’re looking at a microscope instead of me!”

When he overcame a major challenge, she threw a tantrum: “Is that stupid formula prettier than me? Tear it up!”

Gu Jiaxin munched on sunflower seeds as she waited. Surely he’d break up with her now? Surely the female lead would show up?

But things gradually took a strange turn.

The aloof, chaste top student didn’t get angry. Instead, his ears flushed as he pinned her against the wall:

“The formula isn’t as pretty as you. Neither is the microscope.

Stop making trouble. Can I have a kiss?”

Then, when the female lead showed up with her research paper, he didn’t even look at it.

“Sorry, my girlfriend says this stuff is too complicated for her to understand.

To cheer her up, I’ve decided to lower the difficulty to kindergarten level

and pick up a Nobel Prize for her to play with while I’m at it.”

Gu Jiaxin: ???

Wait, I’m supposed to be cannon fodder, not someone’s muse for scientific research!
