[Western Crossover] They Say I'll Destroy the World

[Early Work, Enter at Your Own Risk]

Before her fifteenth birthday, Rose always thought she was someone God had abandoned.

Her parents were both dead, and she was cramped into the tiny attic of her uncle's home. Her classmates ostracized and bullied her, while her teachers scolded her and gave up on her. Her miserable life seemed to have no future at all.

But after she blew out all fifteen candles on her little birthday cake in one breath, a miracle happened.

A world-famous superhero found her and invited her to attend the super academy they had founded together.

Adopted by the gentle Pepper, seated beside the son of a demon, and sneaking into bars with her good friend who could make ice roses, she always heard an unknown voice at her side whenever misfortune struck, helping her find a way out of dire straits.

She thought she was about to have a wonderful future, until one day, she heard that familiar voice tell her:

[You will destroy the world.]

Second Crush

In high school, Chen Yubai was Yuanzhao's number-one lovesick puppy.

Because Yuanzhao's name sounded like winter, she loved winter by association and thought it was the best season.

Winter really was lovely.

Just not because of his name. In winter, she could pretend the cold wind had made her cry, instead of admitting she'd cried after hearing Yuanzhao call her a flirt who was nice to everyone and say he hated her.

Chen Yubai was heartbroken, but whenever Yuanzhao came to see her, she was willing to forgive him.

Yet right up until she transferred schools and left, Yuanzhao, the boy she liked, never once came to speak to her of his own accord.

So she'd been the one making a fool of herself.

Four years after graduating from high school, Yuanzhao became the famous lead singer of a band, with millions of fans and a career at its peak.

Chen Yubai, meanwhile, stumbled into a job as the intern assistant assigned to him by her company. She was unknown and did all kinds of odd jobs.

He never mentioned that they had been classmates, and Chen Yubai, who used to chase after him all through high school, pretended she didn't know him at all.

Even after he eventually swallowed his pride and called her by name, she only lowered her head and addressed him as Mr. Yuan or Brother Yuanzhao.

She did what he asked, but always kept things strictly professional and never said an extra word. She planned to transfer elsewhere once she got a permanent position, and wanted nothing to do with him.

Only when someone deliberately photographed one of their encounters and rumors spread that they were secretly dating, stirring up a storm, did Chen Yubai approach him on her own for the first time outside of work.

She handed in her resignation.

"Do you really want to get rid of me that badly? Pretend none of it ever happened?"

Yuanzhao gritted his teeth at her unexpected coldness.

But Chen Yubai only stared at him with a deadpan expression and pleaded in an even tone:

"Please stop making things difficult for a lowly employee like me, Brother Yuanzhao."

*

She was a lovesick puppy, a flirt who was nice to lots of people because she wanted to be nice to him, and a delusional romantic with no shame who thought she could end up with him.

She was happy, too, when she liked Yuanzhao.

But having an unrequited crush is foolish, and she never wanted another one.
