The System Goes on Strike the Moment She Arrives

[You have a System. I have merit. Get close and I'll break your control; meet me and I'll counter you.]

A clear-headed man sinking into control vs. a woman of boundless merit

Wealthy families + System + aristocratic university campus + sweet romance

Fu Chuanbai had planned out his life clearly, on his own terms. Then Lin Weixia, an admissions student, arrived at Saint Gael, and his body began acting against his will. Fully conscious, he watched himself veer off course and perform like a clumsy puppet.

He fought back, but could never break free. Just as he was about to give in and bring everything down with him, Lu Yanxi transferred to the school.

To his surprise, he could escape the control whenever he was near her. He began calculating distances, arranging chance encounters, and inching closer to her, step by step. What started as using her eventually became a willing surrender. He never knew he could truly lose control.

Lu Yanxi was the first girl born into the Lu family in a hundred years. From birth, she had been protected by merit that made all techniques powerless against her. To her, Fu Chuanbai's advances were no different from those of people trying to curry favor with the Lu family. But he was handsome and spoke so nicely, so she allowed him to be her attendant.

Until the day of the school anniversary, when she saw what seemed to be a plea for help in his light tea-colored eyes.

She didn't overthink it. She simply walked over and led him off the stage.
