Above the Academy

[I'm not writing a long, plot-heavy story for now. Counting April, the story is at 120,000 words. When I resume, I'll finish the remaining 120,000 words before putting it behind a paywall.]

Bu Yue, a max-level overworked employee who died suddenly at her desk,

has one goal in her second life: lie flat, sleep through all her hardships, and enjoy her freedom.

But three mountains stand in her way:

1. Classmates who compare family backgrounds, birth, and status, but never ability

2. A seemingly timid heroine who is actually powerful but excessively cautious

3. Arrogant, domineering male leads who look down on everyone

Bu Yue: It's time to give you all a taste of the Creator's power.

You want to compare power and wealth?

Then what will you do when I bring out gold and silver enough to rival a nation?

You want to compare talent and magic treasures?

Then what will you do when I've maxed out all my talents and have more magic treasures than stars?

You want to compare connections and supporters?

Then what will you do when I have the head of the academy's network behind me and am the academy's star?

Bu Yue entered the academy all alone.

With nothing but a silver tongue, honed through countless rounds at the negotiating table, she talked back to everyone and went undefeated.

She rewrote the unspoken rules among the students and made sure the academy's regulations were actually enforced.

She helped the sensitive, overthinking heroine grow into a strong young woman who could face the world alone.

She taught the arrogant male lead a lesson, making the proud learn humility and the selfish learn to give.

All practitioners of mystic arts know:

Above the royal family are the great clans, above the great clans is the academy,

and above the academy is Bu Yue.

She is the law made flesh,

the backbone that lets struggling students survive,

the goal that countless geniuses strive toward,

and, in this chaotic world, a light that will never fade.

Having achieved success and fulfilled her previous life's wish to retire early, Bu Yue was now living a peaceful life.

She vaguely remembered that, when she arrived, the System had assigned her a task:

[Become the heroine's guardian deity and give her an ordinary, uneventful academy life.]

Bu Yue lifted her sunglasses (specially made for the Mystic Realm) and watched Qi Wu's name shoot up the rankings:

This should count as finishing the job, right?

The heroine is number one on the rankings, after all.

As for this story, she remembered it was originally an explicit novel, didn't she?

She was the author, after all. Tweaking it a little was no big deal.

System: ???

System: You call this an ordinary, uneventful academy life?

Who considers being number one in the whole school ordinary?

Bu Yue: ^_^ I'm nothing special. I've always been like this.

[Things to Know Before Reading]

1. The heroine has cheat-level powers and loves to talk.

2. There is a male lead; both leads are each other's first love, and it has a happy ending.

3. Ensemble cast, not a dungeon-based story. The worldbuilding is extensive and entirely my own.

4. I can't promise daily updates until my other completed story is finished. Feel free to let it build up. After that, unless I start posting a romance story in between (since this story was originally intended to focus on romance), I'll update steadily once a week, unless it goes behind a paywall.

If you don't mind, please check out my upcoming story below:

Conquest, But With Infinite Save-Scumming

A sweet, sunny girl with a strong bias toward action x a growing-up villain who is on the verge of a breakdown every day

Zhou Yuan's conquest target is Fan Yu.

He's a male villain who kills without hesitation in the story.

No problem. The System can spare her the pain and let her reload as many times as she wants.

Zhou Yuan: What are we waiting for? Let's do this!

Fan Yu: Blah, blah, blah...

Zhou Yuan: What are you saying? I want to kiss you.

*

Fan Yu hated the junior sister his master had just taken in. Her intentions were so obvious, yet everyone else seemed blind to them. They even told him not to be so petty, saying the little junior sister had suffered a lot and that he should understand her difficulties.

Fan Yu: ?

What difficulties?

The kind where she gets mad and kisses him, hugs him, and sleeps with him?

Heh. One day, he would kill her with his own hands.

Theme: Mothers are the mountains their children can never climb over.
