In the fourth year after Ji Fusheng was reborn, he learned that he had entered a book and become the next-door older brother who didn’t even rank as the fifth male character.
From the System that showed up at his door, he learned that he had entered an abandoned novel. It had stopped updating at the peak of the tangled romance between the heroine and the four top heartthrobs at the elite academy. Now he had to help the heroine find her true love and give the novel an ending.
The heroine was the little kid who had just moved in next door, followed him around all day, and clung to him so much that she drove him crazy.
Having lived another life, Ji Fusheng stuck to the idea of doing whatever felt comfortable. He scoffed at the System for giving him busywork for no reason and refused to do it.
When he was fifteen, Grandma Ji became seriously ill and needed expensive surgery. Ji Fusheng tried everything, but couldn’t borrow the money. Then the System appeared again with good news, and he agreed to its request almost instantly.
Heroine’s favorability +1: 10,000 yuan in cash each month.
Heroine’s love score +1: 100,000 yuan in cash each month.
With the help of the System and the heroine (indirectly), Grandma Ji survived. After that, Ji Fusheng became much more tolerant of the System and the heroine.
When he was eighteen, the heroine transferred to the elite academy. Out of gratitude, Ji Fusheng transferred there with her.
Then it happened.
Ji Fusheng filled in for someone and played a basketball game against Heartthrob Number One, who came to think of him as his best buddy.
According to the plot, when Heartthrob Number Two ran into financial trouble, Ji Fusheng used his money to help him, and the two became financially entangled.
Ji Fusheng and Heartthrob Number Three couldn’t stand each other. They got into a big fight, and Number Three lost badly. From then on, he kept challenging Ji Fusheng whenever he saw him.
After that,
when the heroine and Heartthrob Number One held hands around campus, Ji Fusheng saw them and reluctantly stood guard.
When the heroine and Heartthrob Number Two went on an outing, Ji Fusheng arranged for eighteen burly bodyguards to escort them the whole way.
When the heroine and Heartthrob Number Three stopped speaking to each other, Ji Fusheng happened to walk by, say a few words to the heroine, and glare at Number Three. Number Three got so mad that he forgot they were giving each other the silent treatment, then took the heroine and left.
The only thing that differed from the original book was that Heartthrob Number Four, a quiet, aloof person, never hung around the heroine. Instead, he followed Ji Fusheng.
Yin Shengge was cool and distant by nature and had never experienced strong emotions as a child. His parents’ marriage was arranged, and it was rare to find them both at home. Even when they were together, they didn’t speak. Yin Shengge grew up with a series of nannies, each of whom lasted a year.
When he was fifteen, his parents divorced. His mother remarried for love, and he moved with her to her new home. There, he had a father who was very cold toward him and a younger sister only a few months his junior.
His sister was cheerful and lively, and very lovable, but she was always running around outside and was rarely home during the day. Curious, Yin Shengge followed her.
From that day on, he had someone etched into his heart, someone he would remember forever. He also felt a trace of jealousy toward his sister for the first time, jealous that she’d been so lucky to meet this person when she was little.
