The Most Hated One Only Wants to Be a Top Student

[Teaser for "Scum Gongs Beg Me Not to Die [Quick Transmigration]" at the bottom]

Top student Lin Yu is pulled by the System into a school-life novel, where he must play a vicious cannon-fodder character everyone despises.

The cannon fodder longs for the protagonist gong but cannot have him. Driven by jealousy, he repeatedly targets the protagonist shou, a delicate and pitiful white lotus, and causes trouble until the shou's admirers join forces to take revenge, leaving him with a tragic end.

That doesn't sound too hard.

But why, the moment he transmigrates, does he see the System's "kind, delicate white lotus" protagonist shou in the middle of a gang fight?

He must have opened the story the wrong way.

System: You have to publicly mock the protagonist shou for being poor and humiliate him!

Lin Yu thinks for a moment, then tosses him a campus card loaded with a five-figure sum. With an arrogant air, he says, "You poor loser, you've never seen this much money in your life, have you? Here, take it and broaden your horizons."

The protagonist shou, holding a loaded campus card: ...

System: You have to corner the protagonist shou and bully him mercilessly!

Lin Yu corners him, then flings a thick book of advanced math problems at him. He says coldly, "You can't leave until you finish them. No crying."

The protagonist shou folds his arms and raises an eyebrow at him. "Is this some new way of getting my attention?"

System: To make the protagonist gong see you in a new light, challenge the protagonist shou academically, then score hundreds of points lower than him on the exam.

Top student Lin Yu, who takes tests like a machine printing out the answer key, looks at the protagonist shou's ranking as the worst in the school and finds himself at a loss.

In the end, he disguises himself as an online tutor and stays up all night giving the protagonist shou lessons.

The protagonist shou drawls lazily, "I don't want to study. Unless you kiss me, Teacher."

Lin Yu: ?

Something is off about the protagonist shou, and the protagonist gong and the shou's admirers are looking at Lin Yu more and more strangely, too.

Thankfully, the plot is still progressing smoothly and according to plan.

Until the real protagonist shou appears...

System: Oh no, it looks like we mistook the school bully for the protagonist shou.

Lin Yu stiffens. He turns to the school bully beside him, who is watching him with an amused, intrigued smile, and slowly types out a question mark: ?

The school bully pins Lin Yu against the wall, his gaze dark. "You flirt with me, then think you can run?"

A little scene:

When Lin Yu first transmigrates, he sees the protagonist shou in the middle of a gang fight.

He must have opened the story the wrong way. The protagonist shou is so delicate, he must be getting beaten up.

Lin Yu: I need to find a teacher and rescue the protagonist shou right away.

The school bully, who has just beaten up a whole group and been caught in the act: Which asshole snitched to a teacher? I'll make sure he learns why silence is golden.

Later

My wife loves me. My wife is the best.

See that top student and math olympiad champion in the whole school? That's right, he's my beautiful wife.

P.S. Beautiful, naturally airheaded top student shou x cool, domineering school bully gong

The next book, "Scum Gongs Beg Me Not to Die [Quick Transmigration]," will probably be a dog-blooded, regretful-pursuit type of Quick Transmigration story~

Blurb:

Award-winning actor Xie Ruan is chosen by a Quick Transmigration System to play cannon-fodder tools in various badly written worlds. He serves as a stepping stone for the protagonists' love and careers, giving up his life to help them achieve fame and success or find happiness together.

In these Quick Transmigration worlds, he is the tyrannical villain who forces himself on the protagonist and ultimately drives him to rebel and unify the realm; he is the lovesick supporting male character who knows he is a substitute but still willingly gives his life for the romance between the protagonist gong and shou...

Whether playing a villain or a backup lover, Xie Ruan handles the role with ease. Once he has set the plot right, he makes a dramatic escape by faking his death in one stylish way after another.

Xie Ruan happily acts his parts, happily counting how many more worlds he has to visit before earning the chance to be reborn...

But

Why does the protagonist stop him every time he fakes his death, weeping and begging on his knees for him not to die???

Xie Ruan: Thanks for the offer, but I'm due on the next set.

Xie Ruan: ...No, please let go. I'm in a real hurry. Let me die first, then we can talk.
