[Novel starts in mid-April, full manuscript already complete]
Li Shengsheng is an orphan who finds herself inside a melodramatic novel packed with tropes: fake and real heiresses, stand-ins, sworn enemies, bickering couples, cannon fodder, and satisfying revenge.
From the start, she's a rich heiress.
Well... a fake heiress.
She has a gorgeous fiancee, betrothed to her since childhood.
Oh my god, she's someone's big sister now.
She has a childhood friend who's been with her since they were little.
Only, she bullied her, and her childhood friend hates her most of all.
She has a deskmate who's always competing with her for the lowest rank.
Would you look at that, they're sworn enemies!
It's a feel-good revenge novel.
And the scumbag who gets taught a lesson is her.
But that's okay. Someone is paying her tuition, so she can finally go to school.
[System: You must eliminate the heroine's dislike of the Host, or the Host will be erased by the plot.]
Li Shengsheng: Oh my god?!
She finally has a chance to study, and she can't give it up!
For the sake of her education, Li Shengsheng puts her bootlicking skills to work. She becomes a little sidekick, tutors after class, and does everything she can to win them over...
But why does a 100% dislike rating appear above the heads of the real heiress, her former fiancee, her frail childhood friend, and her sworn-enemy deskmate?
Li Shengsheng: Damn System, why is it so hard to just study in peace!
Some strange things have been happening in class lately.
Li Shengsheng, the class's worst student, is tutoring the second-worst student.
Fake heiress Li Shengsheng is defending her real heiress sister against a crowd of critics.
Li Shengsheng is delivering a love letter to her former fiancee on behalf of a classmate.
Li Shengsheng is carrying her frail childhood friend to school, panting after every few steps.
Classmates: What has gotten into Li Shengsheng?! Where did that arrogant, big-breasted, brainless, and hopelessly unathletic girl who always came in last go?!
Every night before bed, Li Shengsheng reviews the day's events.
As long as she's a good underling, she'll never be short on chances to study.
Li Shengsheng gazes with satisfaction at her certificates: "Most Diligent Deskmate," "Helpful Classmate," "Model Little Sister," and "Generous Ex."
That isn't important. What matters is that the heroines' dislike ratings are all going down.
Once she gets into college, she'll ditch all these devilish heroines and continue on to graduate school!
At long last, the college entrance exams are over.
Li Shengsheng blocks them all.
[System: Warning! The heroine's dislike rating has turned into a darkening rating!]
Li Shengsheng: Wait, what?
[System: All four of them.]
Li Shengsheng: …
Please! Could the big shots stop being so possessive of their little sidekick?!
She really just wants to study!
A few important points:
[No awkward or embarrassing scenes. The heroine won't date multiple people at once. She only wants to study.]
[The heroine is adored by everyone, emotionally oblivious, and caught in a ridiculous, melodramatic story.]
[All main characters are adults from the start. This is a fictional setting unrelated to reality, so please don't apply it to real life.]
Theme: Studying is the only way forward.
