The Abandoned Conquest NPC in a Dating Game

Shen Mingyao is an NPC originally meant to be romanced in an abandoned campus dating sim.

He has striking good looks that are impossible to forget at first sight, and is always gentle and considerate toward others.

These qualities should have earned him the players' affection and infatuation, but...

"The times are moving forward. Perfect protagonists are everywhere, and the current trend is a manipulative, spoiled little schemer who trains men like dogs."

That is why he was cut from the game.

[At first, there were untraceable rumors, then whispers in the corners of campus...

Later, the people around him began to treat him differently...]

He became universally disliked.

His life began to change.

The unruly, lazy rich heir; the sunny, clingy puppy with a possessive streak; the reserved, abstinent older man in power; the refined and gentle student council president... and the beautiful, manipulative little schemer.

In their story, involving five people, he seems to have become the only opponent in the dating game.

After all, there can only be one "protagonist," and he lost that privilege long ago.

Being loved, being hated, death, rewinding time...

Begging, holding on, confinement, freedom...

After one rewind after another, the fair-skinned beauty sighed. His slightly drooping eyes were soft and alluring as his red lips parted.

"...I think I'm getting a little tired of this."

Reader's Guide:

1. Everyone is intensely focused on the protagonist, and everyone has hidden attributes.

2. This is fundamentally a competition between love interests, not a stock-picking story.

3. There is a strong focus on the protagonist, who has a universally adored quality.

4. The setting is a dating sim, and there will be more than one playthrough.
