For exceptions, check the comments section or Weibo @Shi A Zhu Bu Shi A Zhu Ya] As a top student at a clinical medical school, Yu Han was about to enter a recommended graduate program, with professors competing to take her on as a student and so many SCI papers and high-impact-factor papers under her belt she could hardly keep track. She never imagined that one day, while servicing the lab's high-performance liquid chromatograph, its ultraviolet detector would go haywire, and a strange beam of light from another world would make her transmigrate into an otome game. After binding to the System, she heard its kind and friendly voice say, "Congratulations on arriving in the world of otome games. As a qualified background character, your mission is to save the villains who have been scorned, hated, and rejected by the heroine, and who have consequently turned evil. Help them feel love and warmth despite the protagonist's halo, and stop them from turning evil. "Friendly reminder: If you fail to complete your mission, you will remain in this world forever and follow the path originally laid out for a background character." Yu Han, the researcher through and through with zero interest in romance: "What the hell..." Game One: A key high school in a coastal city. The heroine, Ye Qingqing, is surrounded by a cold, top-ranking student, a gentle upperclassman, and a tsundere childhood friend. The Mary Sue halo is practically blinding. Mission: Save Lu Ran, a vocational school delinquent who has fallen into despair after Ye Qingqing rejects him and is now seeking revenge on society. Game Two: A fictional dynasty. Ye Qingqing, the daughter of a minor official, is forced to enter the imperial selection. A valiant general, a devoted prince, and a tsundere eunuch silently protect and wait for her within the palace walls. Mission: Save Emperor Fu Xuan, whose love goes unreturned, and, as his personal palace maid, stop him from becoming a tyrant. Game Three: A world of martial arts and adventure. Ye Qingqing, a disciple of a prestigious sect, sets out to explore the martial world. She encounters a tender-hearted senior brother, a cold and proud assassin, and a secretly passionate alliance leader, and begins her life of effortless success in the martial world. Mission: Save Fen Che, a demonic sect instructor who was deceived and abandoned by the heroine, and help him cultivate the righteous arts and restore peace to the martial world. Game Four: ... Only after entering the games did Yu Han realize just how powerful the heroine's halo in an otome game could be. Yu Han: "System! How can the heroine get away with that?" The cold and ruthless System: "Because she's the heroine, of course she can, dear." It added, "But you can't." Fortunately, thanks to Yu Han's painstaking efforts, the villains finally began to soften. Lu Ran cornered her in the vocational school's hallway and pinned her against the wall. He rested her hand on his shoulder and bit her ear, his voice low and roguish. "Don't ignore me. I'll study hard. How about you give me a kiss for every ten places I climb?" In front of all the officials at court, Fu Xuan pulled her down onto his lap as she brought him tea and snacks. His tone was imperious: "I want only one empress." Fen Che stole all the classics from the prestigious orthodox sects. After successfully mastering their techniques, he carried his wife, who was eight months pregnant and lazing in bed, outside and pointed at the fruit on a tree. "My wife, which one would you like to eat? I'll use my inner force to pick it for you." This outcome is great, but why have the male leads who belong to Ye Qingqing started turning their attention to her, too? Ye Qingqing: "Yu Han, you wicked woman! You're stealing my men!" Yu Han: "..." In a nutshell: A female academic's journey through the evolution of a Mary Sue game. 1. There is one male lead. Three games are planned for now, with more to come. 2. Ye Qingqing's heroine halo is extremely strong in the early stages, and the Mary Sue style is intense. 3. Each game is one-on-one. Yu Han is a loyal and devoted girl. 4.
