The pressure of senior year was getting to him, so a boy in class wrote himself a power fantasy novel called Ordinary and Unremarkable, Number One Under Heaven.
The novel had every ingredient: power-ups, a harem, face-slapping, and revenge. The protagonist was shameless enough, the plot satisfying enough, and the boys loved it. Even the girls were engrossed.
Only three people disagreed.
Yu Bai, a ten-year veteran reader: Boring.
The class flower and school beauty, who'd been written into the harem through the author's wish fulfillment: What an idiot.
The top student, written as a pathetic male side character out of jealousy: Heh.
Yu Bai never imagined that simply giving her honest opinion would drag her into the world of the novel and bind her to a background-character check-in System.
High-EQ version: Witness the protagonist's iconic scenes and record the story's highlights.
Low-EQ version: Follow him everywhere without missing a thing, forced to become the protagonist's stalker.
Yu Bai, the picky old reader who can't stand a speck of nonsense: Wait, how is this any different from being force-fed shit? That's just cruel.
To finish checking in and see the story through as soon as possible, Yu Bai gritted her teeth and got on with it.
The protagonist tests as a natural Dao Body, and several powerful figures compete to take him as a disciple? Okay, check in, check in.
The protagonist goes down the mountain to train, gets ambushed, and breaks through by force? Impressive, check in, check in.
The protagonist competes in the immortal sect tournament, fights above his level, and claims the championship? Badass, check in, check in.
Everything was going smoothly. There were plenty of iconic moments and highlights to check in on, until Yu Bai realized
A male side character had overtaken the protagonist, earning success through diligence, defying fate, and wielding his sword against a hundred foes.
A female side character had the male protagonist's lackey wrapped around her finger and achieved the adored-by-everyone status before him.
Yu Bai: What?! If the protagonist isn't the protagonist anymore, how am I supposed to check in?
Jiang Yanxing was handsome and clever, and had always been the center of attention.
After transmigrating into a book, he had nothing going for him but his pretty face. He was cast as the male protagonist's foil.
The male protagonist was the son of a powerful immortal and a princess, with a pure, noble bloodline. Jiang Yanxing was born a commoner, low in status.
The male protagonist was exceptionally gifted and had one lucky encounter after another. Jiang Yanxing was born frail and plagued by bad luck.
Even the female side character he had a crush on in the original story fell in love with the male protagonist at first sight, treating Jiang Yanxing with contempt and mockery.
Jiang Yanxing: ...My fists are clenched. Very clenched.
A foil? A male side character there to get face-slapped? What a joke. When has Jiang Yanxing ever been anyone's supporting act?
You've got a natural Dao Body? He'll earn his way through hard work!
You've got a powerful master and a strong background? He has a photographic memory and can teach himself anything!
You're blessed with endless lucky breaks, the darling of Heaven? My fate is mine to command, not Heaven's!
And that female side character who looked down on him? Please, who'd want her
Wait, why is it you?
Original-story female side character, actual school beauty, He Yuxiu: Huh? What a coincidence. You're here too.
Yu Bai, right behind them with her check-in System: Hey, you two, are you the new protagonists? QVQ.
Jiang and He: ...Why did this silly, sweet girl transmigrate here too?
Female lead Yu Bai: adored by everyone, not weak, full of outrageous schemes, and occasionally a genius.
Male lead Jiang Yanxing: a little chuunibyou and narcissistic, but a doting husband.
Female lead's best friend He Yuxiu: a true Mary Sue, adored by everyone.
Cultivation levels in this novel: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Liguang, Ascension, Divine Awakening, Dao Transformation, Tribulation Transcendence, and Unity with Heaven and Man.
Theme: A prodigal who returns is worth more than gold.

I still have to rely on my wife to make ends meet.
Pure passerby 😭 Is this a monthly update 😭 Why hasn't it been updated after a week 😭 😭 😭 😭
Come on, come on, you finally updated 😭 😭 😭 The child finally eats 😭 😭 😭 It's really well written. It's a theme I've never seen before 😭 😭 😭 😭
Damn it, it's been a week, when will you update again 😭 😭
How come I'm tied, the little red flower is so pitiful, I should have known better. 😭 Another pit 😭 😭 😭 Can you bear not to fill such a fragrant pit? The author is great 😭 😭 😭 It's so delicious 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭
I rely on updating. . . Every few months? That's (bad)
I'm wrong and I don't dare to curse anyone anymore. Please update 😭 😭 😭 😭
Isn't it disgusting? I keep putting it off. If you don't want to write, just solve v. No one is forcing you to write.
I can't write anymore, you damn liar, please refund me immediately.
You also refund the money. After the double launch, there will be no updates here for a long time. The other side is almost finished and only a few chapters have been updated here. I asked you before and you said you would earn more rice as the Chinese New Year is approaching, but the result is that this side basically ignores it and refunds the money.
