Blurb:

Ji Huai wasn't watching where he was going, and transmigrated.

He became a random passerby in a campus romance novel he'd only read a couple of chapters of.

.

A boy in his class sighed, "The campus belle and the top student are both in our class. Looks like we don't stand a chance."

Ji Huai scoffed. "Have some ambition! Even if I can't steal the top student's girl, I'll become someone who can beat him!"

.

Later, he became the one stealing the top student's heart, and the one being pinned beneath him.

The boy from his class: "...Now that's ambition."

Ji Huai: Don't say another word. I regret it. I really regret it.

.

All Ji Huai wants is to focus on his books and knock the top student off his pedestal.

But after a few days at school...

Why is the campus belle looking at me so fondly?

Why does the class ace keep hanging around me?

Staring blankly at the male and female leads circling around him, Ji Huai is baffled:

Wasn't I supposed to be in a romance novel?!

Bonus scene:

Ji Huai stares at the report card, bewildered. "Second in the class, ninth in the whole school, and this counts as being a top student?"

A passing student just smiles without saying a word.

Later, Ji Huai gets cocky. "This time, I'm definitely going to beat you!"

Ye Zhe, who's recently read plenty of "educational material," latches onto the key word. "Hm? Beat me?"

That exam, the whole school once again experienced the terror of being dominated by the top student.

New novel blurb:

Li Xing has been matching wits with the head of discipline for two years, only to lose because he let his guard down.

"Anyone who didn't write at least 3,000 words for their last apology has to write another 150 words for every word they're short!"

A minute later, Li Xing stares at the 360,000-word punishment essay he's just finished.

Should I transfer schools, or transfer schools?

Transferring schools is out of the question. After thinking for three seconds, Li Xing silently opens Taobao.

.

Liao Yun, roped in by his cousin to work part-time, gets a huge order on his first day.

Li Xing: "Will you write a 360,000-word apology for me?"

Liao Yun: "Friend, are you trying to publish a book?"

Li Xing: "Five thousand a month."

Liao Yun: "Would you like a narrative or an expressive essay? We also throw in a free deluxe cover~"

.

At first:

Li Xing: The money doesn't matter. I just want to see what kind of idiot actually took this order.

Liao Yun: The money doesn't matter. I just want to see what kind of fool would want this thing written.

Later:

Li Xing/Liao Yun: This is actually pretty great.

.

On graduation day, Li Xing takes the abridged version of his apology onto the stage.

In the complete silence, the boy's clear voice rings through Fifteenth High School:

"...From that day on, I deeply understood my mistake, and felt sincerely grateful for my teacher's earnest guidance. Thank you for helping me understand the harm caused by skipping class, and the responsibilities of being a student..."

He gazes at Liao Yun's smiling eyes in the audience and curls his lips into a faint smile.

"And thank you to the head of discipline for helping me meet the most wonderful person in my life."

.

Bonus scene:

Liao Yun's hidden identity is exposed, and Li Xing refuses to speak to him for a week.

After Monday's morning exercises, Liao Yun pulls the kid into a corner. Looking at his wide, furious eyes, he shakily holds out a letter.

Li Xing pouts. "You know how to write an apology now?"

"It's a love letter." Liao Yun's ears turn red, but he tries to sound calm. "Li Xing, I like you."

"If you want, I'll write all your apologies for you from now on."

PS: 1. A seemingly gentle, actually mischievous bad boy x a seemingly cold, actually tough-but-tender problem student

2. The idea came from an online joke. If it sounds familiar, I don't know what to tell you.

Here's a friend's novel I recommend. It's only a few tens of thousands of words from completion, so it's safe to read~

"I Went Viral After Being Accidentally Marked" by Jun Wuyang

Xia Chiyi is an Omega actor who had bad luck when he entered the industry, signing with a terrible company. He spends every day matching wits with his agent and trying not to get sold off, yet after three years he's still a C-lister.

After an accident, Xia Chiyi is temporarily marked by the newly appointed CEO of an industry giant. Out of nowhere, he becomes the CEO's secret lover, and his career takes off, leaving his C-list days behind.

.

It was supposed to be nothing more than a sugar-daddy arrangement, but Xia Chiyi gets treated like the CEO's wife (?). Then the CEO's fiance suddenly shows up and demands that he break up with him.

Xia Chiyi: If money's being handed to me, why not take it.jpg

The sugar daddy gets mad when he hears the news during his rut, and he's the kind who can't be placated. He tears up the check and even wants to try some humiliating roleplay.

Xia Chiyi: ???

I'm exhausted. I never thought being a CEO's lover would be this much work. It's time to end this relationship.

.

Everyone thinks Xie Xu is keeping Xia Chiyi, except one person.

Xie Xu: "Aren't we dating?"

Xia Chiyi: "??? Since when?"
