Next up: "My Apprentice Is My Rival's Idol" and "Mary Sue Came Out of a Book" (see my author page for the blurbs) Before Lin Chuxia won the internationally renowned Laber EX Award, she was a dark, chubby academic failure, shunned by everyone at school. One day, she found a notebook by chance. The notebook assigned her a task: Get the highest score in English, or you won't live to see your sixteenth birthday. Lin Chuxia: ... From then on, under constant threat of death, Lin Chuxia devoted every day to figuring out how to come first. To her delight, she discovered that every completed task earned her an extra reward. After being reborn countless times, she completed her tasks, becoming a fair-skinned, slim, beautiful girl. She took first place in the city and became the goddess-like top student everyone admired. Teacher: Lin Chuxia is the best student I've ever taught. Classmate: Lin Chuxia is smart, pretty, and considerate. I'm in love! Younger schoolmate: Teach me how to study, senpai! I'll be good and do what you say! = Shen Chenzhi was a top student from a good family, with a good temper, and the school heartthrob everyone thought was "too good to look at, much less touch." After the college entrance exam, he and Lin Chuxia were interviewed by the city's Minghua Daily. Reporter: As the goddess of No. 1 High School, Lin, what are your thoughts? Lin Chuxia: It's great to be alive! Reporter: Shen, as the runner-up for a thousand years, are you confident you'll take first place this time? Shen Chenzhi: "Take" isn't the right word. I'm confident I can "pursue" her. Lin, who'd always come first: ??? The next day, the whole city knew Shen Chenzhi was pursuing Lin Chuxia. Reader's guide: 1. Some things are made up. Don't overanalyze them. The characters' values don't represent the author's. 2. The heroine's personality hasn't changed much. She's just good at pretending. 3. If you don't like it, don't flame me. I'm sensitive. 4. To be added... Upcoming novel: "My Apprentice Is My Rival's Idol" As the top draft pick of the KPL (Honor of Kings Professional League), Lu Shen (Jiang Lu) of Team SKY is a gorgeous, mechanically gifted jungler, an idol-level goddess adored by countless fans. Unfortunately, she's an emotionally detached ice queen. What few people know is that this seemingly aloof esports goddess is, in private, a dedicated fangirl who can't stand her idol's rival, Yi Chen. * Recently, Jiang Lu unexpectedly took on a support player as her apprentice online. He doesn't talk much, but every time they play, he follows her deep into enemy territory and protects her with his life. Gradually, Jiang Lu's opinion of her apprentice improves. Apprentice: What are you thinking about, Master? Jiang Lu: That celebrity Yi Chen. He's always either manufacturing a ship with someone or pretending to be depressed. He's so damn annoying. Apprentice: ?? Jiang Lu: He's so good-looking. If only he had even half your personality, I wouldn't hate him so much. Apprentice: ... Later, Jiang Lu led her team to the finals. Before the match, the organizers invited popular stars to drum up excitement. Among them was Yi Chen, the person Jiang Lu despised more than anyone. When the camera turned to Yi Chen, he was wearing a white shirt and jeans, looking full of youthful energy. During the cheer segment, when asked who he was cheering for, Yi Chen looked at Jiang Lu, his eyes shining like stars. Jiang Lu: What are you looking at? If you pick me, I'll roast you. Yi Chen: Of course I'm cheering for my master, Lu Shen. Jiang Lu nearly fell off her chair. My cute apprentice is the idol of my rival, and just the other day I insulted him right to his face. What do I do? Asking online, and I'm in a hurry. Completed novels: Esports comedy: "Master, Can I Crouch Beside You?
