Synopsis

[System + Romantic Rivalry + Men Competing for Her + Satisfying Campus Story + Supporting Female Lead's Comeback]

On the day the whole school gathered to watch a confession, Lin Zhiyi turned down Ning Yuchuan, the capital's golden boy who had pursued her for three years.

Everyone called her ungrateful, saying she'd strung their dream guy along for three years only to humiliate him in public.

Then, the next second, a System alert rang in her mind:

[Countdown to the villainess's elimination: 72 hours.]

Only then did Lin Zhiyi realize she was living inside a regret-themed novel.

To survive, the System gave her a plan to change her fate:

[Provoke the male lead's possessiveness.]

[Publicly confess to Gu Yanchi, the second male lead, within ten minutes.]

The whole school was still reeling from her rejection of Ning Yuchuan when Lin Zhiyi turned and rushed over to Gu Yanchi, Ning Yuchuan's sworn enemy.

“Gu Yanchi, I like you.”

The next second, she rose onto her toes and kissed him.

From then on, the story went completely off the rails.
