When a Man-Hater Is Reborn as the Beloved Female Lead

[The writer's been terribly stuck, so I'm putting this on hold for now. If I get inspired later, I'll give it a major rewrite before continuing, qvq. I don't recommend starting it just yet.]

Ruan Xingyu transmigrates into the heroine of a Mary Sue harem novel.

In the interstellar era, men make up as much as eighty percent of the population. As a rare woman and an even rarer healer, the original heroine naturally becomes the center of attention.

Men adore and protect her; women envy and scheme against her, but can only watch as she rises from an unregistered nobody in the slums to become the Empire's empress, shielded by one man after another.

Ruan Xingyu wakes up at the very beginning of the story, just after being sold off by a disposable character into the slums.

From now on, her destined men are supposed to appear one after another and help her reach the pinnacle of life.

But Ruan Xingyu is unhappy.

Because she has a fear of men.

She can't understand the original heroine's joy.

When the handsome, obedient pet butler makes the original heroine's heart race, Ruan Xingyu sees only a beast of burden for hauling spirit stones.

When the original heroine would cry for help during a swarm of bugs and watch her mysterious contracted man descend from the sky, Ruan Xingyu has already charged into the swarm, killing bugs and leveling up without a second thought.

When an imperial prince is stranded on a barren planet, the original heroine feels sorry for him, tolerates his bad temper, and puts up with his flaws. In the end, she reclaims her identity as a saintess, sings his praises as she sends him to the throne, then blushes and accepts his proposal. But Ruan Xingyu...

Ruan Xingyu beats up the foul-mouthed prince right from the start, then takes his place herself.

Coming soon: The Strongest Only Wants to Study Hard

Blurb:

Li Huan was sent into exile on a barren planet with her adoptive parents when she was little. At sixteen, after saving the planet, she was specially admitted to the Alliance's strongest fleet.

But she failed her first assessment on the general knowledge exam.

Just then, the Alliance found her biological parents. Her masters promptly kicked her back to her mother's side to start learning general education from scratch.

The good news: Her biological parents are rich and powerful, and got her into school with a few words.

The bad news: This family doesn't seem to like her.

Her biological mother thinks she's vulgar and ill-mannered. Her older brother looks down on her background. Her adopted younger sister resents her for taking away resources and attention...

As for Li Huan... Li Huan just wants to study hard and pass her general education exams as soon as possible, so she can stop embarrassing her masters.

To relieve the stress of studying, she downloads Full-Dive Fighting Arena on a classmate's recommendation.

It's a full-dive game developed by the Alliance to burn off the abundant energy of newly awakened ability users and cultivate talent.

It's touted as the most immersive fighting game ever made.

Winners can earn generous rewards, receive training from the Alliance's strongest fleet, and get a foot in the door at the Alliance.

Fame, power, and fortune are all within reach here.

It's also a perfect chance for ordinary people to rise in the world.

But for Li Huan, who has already saved the world once, there's only one thing to say:

Fighting is still more fun.

Her opponents are generally a little weak, but the game is a great way to pass the grueling hours of studying.

Whenever she feels like she can't study anymore, she logs into the game to grind some points and relax.

But before she could pass her exams, she maxed out the game's points.

And without realizing it, she beat the arrogant older brother she just met eight times in a row.

Interviews about her medals and awards pour in one after another. At the award ceremony for one season, the host excitedly asks the youngest winner how she feels.

Li Huan trembles as she hides her 59-point exam behind her back. Facing the cameras, she bows with tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry. I really have been studying hard!"

Host: ...

Her masters, who just received a call from her teacher, watching on TV: ...

Her older brother, who has just discovered that his country-bumpkin little sister beat him eight times: ...
