The Xun'an High School Fall Case

A teacher at Xun'an County No. 1 High School falls from the teaching building's rooftop between classes and dies on the spot. At the time, all the students are on the sports field doing their morning exercises, and the rooftop cameras show no one else. The police close the case as a suicide.

This old case comes up again at a class reunion ten years later. Qi Zhizhuo, the dead teacher's son, insists his father didn't kill himself and publicly declares that he'll get to the bottom of it.

Liang Yue, who is also at the reunion, assumes he's had too much to drink. But when Qi Zhizhuo approaches her to ask about what happened back then, she realizes he's serious.

My next story will be Reverse Conquest Dating Game. Here's the blurb:

Jiang Yangzhou wakes up one day to discover he's transmigrated into a novel and has been bound to a System. The System tells him he can only go home if he successfully conquers the novel's heroine, Chi Jingyu.

And the System can't do anything for him besides tell him the heroine's favorability rating.

Forced to accept the situation, he lies on his dorm bed and wonders where to find this so-called heroine.

"Chi Jingyu? She's in the class next door. I've seen her a few times in general electives." Zhou Xun, back from getting food, points him in the right direction. "Are you asking about her because you want to pursue her?"

Hearing that, Jiang Yangzhou nearly bursts into grateful tears. He thinks Zhou Xun must be the golden finger Heaven gave him. Zhou Xun is a notorious playboy, and with his help, Jiang Yangzhou can surely get twice the results for half the effort. So Jiang Yangzhou admits it without hesitation.

With Zhou Xun's guidance, Jiang Yangzhou takes the initiative, constantly making his presence felt around Chi Jingyu and even learning all kinds of tactful things to say. But Chi Jingyu's favorability never goes up. If anything, it seems to be heading into the negatives.

When Zhou Xun once again tells him to bring Chi Jingyu a bouquet of tacky, ugly roses, Jiang Yangzhou can't take it anymore. "Zhou Xun, do you actually want me to win her over?"

"Of course."

Of course my ass! Jiang Yangzhou would have believed him if he hadn't run into Zhou Xun having dinner with Chi Jingyu off campus.

Only after a long campaign of reverse pursuit does Jiang Yangzhou learn that he's not the only transmigrator in this book. Zhou Xun is one too, the bastard.

The heroine's perspective

Chi Jingyu suddenly transmigrates into the book. That's strange enough, but stranger still, she isn't bound to any System, and nobody tells her what she needs to do to get home.

But after seeing Jiang Yangzhou constantly hovering around her, she begins to understand. Could she have transmigrated into the role of a wicked female supporting character? Why else would this guy keep messing with her?
