* Gradually falling for each other x secretly harboring a crush

* Primarily a university campus romance / childhood friends two years apart (the girl is older)

Shen Youyi had been exceptionally bright since childhood, consistently outscoring everyone by a wide margin.

But the top student Shen had always been a little "withdrawn" and wasn't much for talking to people.

Right after the monthly exams, Shen's deskmate brought him a rather complicated problem and asked how to solve it.

Without even looking up, he replied, "I don't know."

But less than two minutes later, a beautiful girl he'd never seen before appeared at the classroom door, clutching an exam paper and rushing in to find Shen Youyi.

Without so much as a greeting, she got straight to the point: "This problem! How do you solve it?"

Shen Youyi stood up and gave her his seat. He took her paper and glanced at the problem.

Leaning over, he said calmly, "There are three ways to solve this. Look..."

His deskmate: "...? Is that any way to treat me?"

"In this world where I am the Creator, you are the only honored guest."

1.

Wen Li joined the beta test of a 3D online game, where a handsome NPC took an instant dislike to her.

When the first phase of the beta ended, Wen Li dragged her exhausted self to the game company to submit her feedback. To her surprise, the game's director looked exactly like the bastard who had driven her up the wall in the game.

Even stranger, he seemed to know her.

When they first met, he raised an eyebrow and drawled, "Want to run away again this time?"

Wen Li, utterly bewildered: "?"

Hey, handsome, who are you?

2.

Back in college, Zhou Fangyi played an online game. The day before his in-game wedding, his bride abandoned him without warning or explanation, then vanished into the vast sea of humanity.

Thankfully, Heaven takes pity on the victims of love.

Years later, Zhou Fangyi became a game developer. During the beta test of the game he was working on, he met again the heartless woman who had toyed with his feelings. He also discovered that she seemed to be a player with a whole harem of admirers.

At that moment, two plans took shape in Zhou Fangyi's mind:

1. Swim into her fishpond.

2. Turn it upside down and rid the world of a menace.

Later, as he put his plan into action, he revised it:

1. Swim into her fishpond.

2. Drive out the other fish and become the king of the pond, the one she dotes on alone.

After completing the first step, Zhou Fangyi stared at the empty fishpond, completely bewildered.

* Important!!!

The heroine is not a player with a harem. She's a peony, and she never toyed with the hero's feelings years ago.
