I Became the Archenemy of the Campus Heartthrob

Xie You was once a top scorer in the city on the national college entrance exam, famous across the internet. After an accident, he transmigrates into a book as Xie You, a fake genius who shares a surname but not a given name with him.

The fake genius is a scumbag.

Because he likes the protagonist's love interest, he sees the protagonist's love rival as an enemy and fights with him whenever they meet. He also cultivates a genius persona and tries to outdo him at every turn.

Later, his cheating is exposed and his genius persona crumbles. The original Xie You becomes the laughingstock of the whole school. He tries to force himself on the protagonist's love interest, but the handsome school heartthrob, whose background is unfathomable, knocks him to the ground with one punch. He ends up dropping out of high school and dying in prison after a fatal collision.

When Xie You first transmigrates, his pockets are stuffed with the cheat sheets the original had prepared. The school heartthrob, who has finished his exam early, spins his pen and watches him, his warning gaze prickling against Xie You's back.

Xie You: "...What a pain." He slumps forward onto his desk and falls asleep.

At first, Jing Yun thinks Xie You is distracting him from his studies because the nape of Xie You's neck looks deliciously biteable. Then he realizes his nemesis seems different from before.

He clicks into the livestream "The Cold, Handsome God Shows Off His Face". Jing Yun has never seen Xie You smile before, but now he sees how lovely his smile is.

Staring at the screen, he falls into deep thought. Could Xie You be distracting me because he likes me and wants my attention... and smiling at me, too?

Xie You notices that the school heartthrob has become more hostile lately. He challenges him to fights, ambushes him during breaks, glares whenever Xie You gets too close to someone, asks around about his whereabouts, and even eavesdrops on him talking to the protagonist's love interest.

"Sorry, I don't date in high school."

After turning down the protagonist's love interest, Xie You returns to the dorm and gets pinned against the wall by Jing Yun. So he really is jealous of the protagonist's love interest! Xie You says coldly, "If you want revenge, just say so. I've put up with you long enough."

"Why would I take revenge on you?" Jing Yun is sure now: the new Xie You really is charming. "You're first in the whole grade, everyone who likes me likes you, you're good at fighting, gorgeous, and a good person..."

Xie You, inexplicably showered with praise, is nervous inside but calm on the outside. "So you're jealous?"

"Yeah." Jing Yun notices how tense he is and bends down so Xie You can look down at him. "But if someone as outstanding as you said you liked me, I'd feel better."

Xie You: "..." You're not jealous. You've gone crazy.

Wasn't he supposed to be devoted only to the protagonist's love interest?!

Later, during graduation season, everyone at school knows they're together.

"Holy crap, Xie You is this year's provincial top scorer on the college entrance exam! The rumors that he was a fake genius are completely debunked, and the school heartthrob sent a private jet as a livestream gift!"

"The heartthrob and the genius have a thread with more than two thousand replies on the forum. The two top students are going to Jinghua together, and they're dating right after graduation! Everyone online is shipping them like crazy. Another day witnessing a love story worthy of the heavens!!"

A domineering top who starts out cocky, then wins himself over, and ends up a lovesick puppy x a cold-faced bottom with lots of inner monologue who always gets revenge
