[Everyone's Favorite | Shura Field | Yandere | Aristocratic Academy]
As Bai Yali, the illegitimate daughter of a duchess, lay on her deathbed, she heard arguing beside her bed.
She struggled to open her eyes a crack, only to see a man and a woman locked in a passionate kiss.
What the hell? Was she part of their play, too?
Furious, she died on the spot. A book appeared before her eyes. It turned out she was just a background character in The Sparrow and Her Four Kings of the Aristocratic Academy!
Bai Yali refused to accept this. Then something claiming to be a golden finger that could restart her life came to her, giving her another chance.
In this life, she had a healthy body. If she could win over one of the four male leads from the original story, she could continuously draw health points from his love for her.
She had to choose one of the following male leads, earn his love at one hundred percent, and marry him to complete the task:
· Male Lead One: The son of a calculating, hypocritical politician
· Male Lead Two: The taciturn, ice-cold heir to the throne
· Male Lead Three: The melancholy heir to an illustrious family of artists
· Male Lead Four: The arrogant, unruly young master of a financial conglomerate
She disguised herself as a poor student and entered the aristocratic academy from the original story. Looking at the center of everyone's attention, she thought:
So these really are the privileged elite. Their looks, family backgrounds, and abilities are beyond reproach. As for their manners... I hope they actually have some.
She curled her lips into a smile. "Why not take them all? That way I won't leave anyone out, only to find him shamelessly hanging around someone else's deathbed."
System: "?"
Before long, the male leads began falling for her one after another.
The calculating politician's son asked her to meet him on the rooftop, then dropped to one knee and offered her a remote control. "I've already put on the chastity underwear from that little card. You can control me however you like."
The ice-cold crown prince, napping in a corner, was woken by the commotion. He sneered and shoved the politician's son aside. The next day, during the school festival, he climbed the academy's tower and loudly recited his vow to win her love.
That evening, the artistic heir to the illustrious family burned every work he had ever made before a bonfire. The blazing flames reddened his eyes. "For all eternity, these hands will create only for you."
Just as the crowd began egging her on to accept, the arrogant young master of the financial conglomerate dropped to both knees, a sharp scalpel pressed against his chest. "Don't accept them. If you want to, you can cut open my heart and see for yourself."
System: "I-I knew my Host was exceptional!"
But she shook her head. "Flashy but empty, just a performance for their own self-satisfaction."
She believed true love meant enduring restraint: keeping oneself in check even beneath surging desire, and always pretending to be at one's best so as never to make one's beloved uncomfortable.
Before the New Year's ball, the male leads surrounded Bai Yali, bowed elegantly, and offered lavish terms to invite her to be their dance partner.
"Hmm... You still think I care about things like that?" Bai Yali gave a carefree smile and casually tossed an ice cube into the air. "Whoever catches it gets to be my dance partner."
In the next instant, the male leads tensed their muscles and pounced on one another like starving dogs fighting over food. They clawed and tore at each other, stripped of all grace and dignity. They no longer looked anything like the self-important elite they thought they were.
Bai Yali watched them, the amusement finally fading from her lips, leaving only cold weariness.
"How ugly," she said, opening her hand. The ice cube was still in her palm. "You can't even entertain me, yet you want to be my dance partner? I think... it's time to find someone else."
The ice cube disappeared between her scarlet lips and shattered with a sharp crunch. The male leads were shaken to their cores, their eyes dark and unreadable.
