You're one of the harem members of the protagonist in a power fantasy web novel. You're beautiful, fit, and smart. Your main purpose is to give the protagonist treasures, training opportunities, and resources, flash some skin or get close to them for fanservice, or have a sweet romance with them during tense plot moments.
But you only think about yourself. You never consider how the protagonist feels.
After becoming a protagonist who gets fanservice scenes several times a day, Ye Zhixian's reaction is simple: "Thanks, but please put an end to this farce!"
*
In her second year of high school, Ye Zhixian suddenly learns that she's the male protagonist of a web novel, currently in the "broken engagement" arc. After the heiress breaks off their engagement, she'll embark on a life of campus romance.
Ye Zhixian bursts out laughing.
She's a girl. How could an heiress break off an engagement with her?
The next day, a haughty young master pins her in a corner. "Let's break off our engagement, you loser."
Ye Zhixian: "..."
Wait, when did she get engaged?!
While she's still confused, she seems to hear a voice saying, "Go on, laugh. Why aren't you laughing now?"
She looks up. Oh, the young master said that.
From that moment on, the gears of her fate start turning like crazy.
Her school turns into an elite academy, powerful families spring up overnight, and daily life becomes a story about showing off. Every handsome guy she meets sets a romance flag within three seconds, complete with intimate fanservice scenes.
Ye Zhixian breaks down.
She accepts her fate. Fine, she's the male protagonist in a power fantasy novel. Could they at least follow the plot instead of doing nothing but romance?
Just then, a tall, lean man steps out of the darkness, his gaze dangerous and his voice contemptuous. "Ye Zhixian, you've been pretty cocky lately."
Ye Zhixian is overjoyed: It's time for the career arc!
The man has barely finished speaking when someone bumps into him. The two of them tumble into each other's arms, their mouths pressed together.
The man furrows his brows, his ears turning red. "What is going on?!"
Ye Zhixian says in despair, "It's a fanservice scene."
A Mary Sue story with everyday commentary and a campus-romance setup, I guess. The tags for this book should include campus romance (hey). (Pure Mary Sue romance, with every setup in service of the romance. Not a power fantasy, not a story about a female lead's rise to power, and not a story about a strong female lead. The central premise has been adjusted, so please remove it from your reading list if that bothers you.)
Theme: If you want to fall in love, get treated first.
