At twenty-six, award-winning web novelist Qiu Buyu was kicked into her own book by the System after uploading her new novel outline. Her mission: save the world.
This time, she returned to age seventeen.
[System notification: Ding! Main quest activated: Stop a wildfire from breaking out in the mountains outside the city.]
When she opened her eyes, Bai Lin, the school heartthrob at No. 1 High School, was looking at her in the moonlight.
"Have we met before?"
What was going on? He was just an NPC. She didn't even know him.
The person she needed to win over was Xia Yanchan, the boy next door who was like an older brother to her.
And why was this school heartthrob such a pain?!
-
For some inexplicable reason, he was jealous of the male lead Qiu Buyu was trying to win over. He deliberately smoked and got into fights right in front of her to get her attention.
He confiscated the watch the male lead gave Qiu Buyu and wouldn't let her wear it. When he saw her walking past him, laughing and chatting with the male lead, he bit his lip until it bled. Hearing Qiu Buyu call Xia Yanchan "big brother," he forced her to call him that, too.
This random NPC, who Qiu Buyu had written into the book, kept making all sorts of bitter remarks even though they weren't together, throwing her quest into chaos.
But later, Qiu Buyu was sabotaged by the System. Her life came crashing down, her reputation was ruined, and she was trapped in a valley.
Everyone in the city hoped that the "witch" who had brought them disaster would be burned alive.
The people at the foot of the mountain fled in a panic, and the birds and beasts scattered.
Only he charged against the current, through the towering flames. He put an arm around her shoulders and said, "Hey, stop crying."
"I think this kind of ending is pretty good, too."
-
When she opened her eyes again, it was a sunny afternoon.
On TV, an excited news report announced, "The popular top-tier star Bai Lin, who had been missing for several days, has been found by the police. We believe he'll soon return to the public eye with new work..."
And outside her door, the blonde top-tier star arrived holding her favorite pink tulips. Smiling brightly, he tilted his head at her and said,
"Ding-ding... It's me."
"Great author."
"I wonder if I might have the honor of buying you a cup of coffee today?"

Theme: Write your own story
Several girls sat around the dining table and chatted about Zhang Xi's club while eating. The topic ranged from recruiting new students to instructors, and then from instructors to Berlin. In the end, even who peeled shrimps for whom became an object of discussion. This kind of plot seems to have no troubles, and there is no baggage that is deliberately shaken. But I don't know why, but seeing them making jokes and making jokes reminds me of many ordinary evenings in my school days. It was getting darker outside the window, and the food on the plate was slowly getting colder. The girls' topics went around and around, and they didn't come up with any answers until the end. But when I look back later, it is often these inconspicuous moments that really remain in my memory. The teacher's writing style is really delicate and comfortable, and he can always unfold the fireworks of life and the girls' interactions through these details, so the freedom and romance of the student days are naturally revealed.
If the heartbeat has color, Berlin's heartbeat should be red, passionate but chaotic. He stared at Jiang Baicha on the river bank, his heart pounding. After returning home, he wondered if there was something wrong with his body, and even asked his mother if he could use a facial mask. His body reacted for him again and again, but he couldn't tell where it came from. And all of this has become the embarrassing and real worry of the young man. The heartbeat of Xia Yancicada may be warm and golden, like the evening sunlight falling on the treetops. He remembered many things, a joke from his childhood, the residual berry scent of shampoo, and helping to carry his coat when walking in the mountains. Those little details have been slowly accumulated over the years, and when I look back, they can no longer be explained by the phrase "brother takes care of his sister". As for Qiu Buyu, her heartbeat is more like autumn fog, light gray, vague and absent. She is always clearer than others, knows that this is a task, knows that favorability can be quantified, and knows who is the person she should not get close to. But when the ears feel hot and the heart skips a beat, people always seem to be more honest. Whether those reactions were instinctive or emotional, she probably couldn't tell.
I'm really curious about whether Du Qingzi and Ji Mingyu are a couple. I feel like Ji Mingyu is a little jealous of Du Qingzi sending things to Berlin, but doesn't he have a girlfriend? I've admitted it before (or maybe there's something else hidden), and I quite like them.
I go, I go, I go! From the previous description of Cheng Zhi, I felt that he was not simple either, but I didn't expect that the call was actually made by him! What role does he play? I'm so curious!
When I read Chapter 20, I suddenly felt that perhaps the most special thing about this article is that Qiu Buyu never lost his identity. She took the props given by the system and moved forward. Her grades got better, her favorability increased, and people around her began to get closer to her. But whenever these moments really come, she always thinks of herself in reality. This is especially true in the chapter where the list is released. The third grade should be a high-spirited moment in any campus story. But Qiu Buyu stood in the crowd, looking at the names on the list, and the first thing that came to mind was the ordinary girl in reality who worked hard to study questions, was seriously partial to subjects, and was always nervous every time she waited for her results. At that moment, she suddenly felt a little sad. She got what she had always wanted, but in a world that did not belong to her. What I like very much is that the teacher does not exaggerate this emotion too much. Many similar themes will constantly emphasize the heroine's inferiority, regret or unwillingness. But Qiu Buyu is not. She would still secretly take pictures of Berlin and send them to the group, her eyes would light up because of the food on the dinner table, she would quarrel with Du Qingzi, and she would also go into chaos when her unlucky constitution broke out. The sadness is always hidden behind the excitement, like a layer of ripples that briefly rises when the wind blows across the lake, and then calms down quickly. Berlin's line is also very interesting. His emotions almost come before his reason. He didn't know why he cared about Qiu Buyu, but his eyes had begun to follow her uncontrollably. Whether he was restless in the examination room, whether he deliberately sat next to her during dinner, or whether he checked her eyes under the moonlight... In short, the two of them had a very subtle feeling: Qiu Buyu is trying hard to become a character in this story, Berlin is obsessed with that vague sense of familiarity. But fate seems to have been one step ahead of them, recognizing each other and pointing the direction for them before they even realized it.
What an interesting book! It's rare to see a story where the protagonist doesn't ask questions after entering the book (bushi). The writing is very smooth, and the male protagonist is really delicious. Boss... I especially like Xia Yanchan. In fact, even the orthopedics are delicious! Although the male and female protagonists are the biggest, hey. Also, the writing style of Lao Da is so delicate, with a very summery and youthful flavor, and it is a bit like the cool breeze passing by on an empty playground at night. It doesn't seem very cold, but it is very valuable in summer, so Lao Da's writing also looks particularly comfortable.
I really like the shaping of Berlin in this chapter. He is not the kind of academic god who is kept out of reach by his halo, but lively and relaxed, with just the right amount of bad taste. Faced with Qiu Buyu's clumsy lies, he clearly saw them all, but never exposed them. He just lazily followed her words. The conversation on the rooftop was particularly heartwarming. When the wind blew over, the smell of smoke faded, and they chatted about seemingly insignificant topics. The exhaustion and maturity that Qiu Buyu occasionally showed was not quite what a seventeen-year-old girl would look like; and underneath Berlin's seemingly careless smile, there was something hidden that he didn't want others to see. The two of them approached cautiously, like two animals sniffing each other. Neither one took the initiative to reveal their own secrets, but they were both trying to piece together the other's true appearance through those fragmentary words [Purple Sugar] kswl
This chapter made me want to die. Why is it so difficult for our young couple? One person can watch the other person "fall in love" with someone else but can't do anything about it. Even if one person has love, he is forced to hide it and cannot reveal it at all.
Great, great! Is the identity finally going to be revealed? I really can't wait.
Qiu Buyu enters the novel world from reality, seemingly returning to the age of seventeen, but in fact it seems like he has strayed into a past that has been forgotten and buried by time. The tone of the first two chapters is light and bright, with evening self-study, class representatives, deskmates chatting, and school bells ringing together to form a very life-like campus scene that makes it easy for people to immerse themselves in it; and from the end of the third chapter, the story suddenly reveals the tip of the iceberg. The sentence "Qiu Buyu is back" is like a pebble thrown into the lake, causing ripples in the originally peaceful narrative of youth. I especially like the recurring natural images in the article, and the teacher's writing style is really beautiful. The misty mountains, birds, chirping cicadas, sycamore leaves, and mountain fires that always hang in the distance all give the story an air of approaching autumn. Autumn carries a sense of dryness, secrets, and farewell. It seems that some secret is fermenting, and some farewell will eventually happen, so that when reading, you will always feel a mixture of despair and expectation.
