Xie Ying, a top martial artist, died suddenly and transmigrated into a quick-transmigration novel, becoming a popular actress with countless haters in the entertainment industry. As a bonus, she inherited the original owner’s face-slapping scumbag-punishing System.

There were ten small worlds in all. With a grand wave of her hand, Xie Ying had the System merge them into one, turning herself into a top-tier master of time management. She navigated a crowd of scumbag men with ease, focusing on efficiency while enjoying the fun of face-slapping.

But this behavior seemed to give her new neighbor the wrong idea.

The neighbor hired her as a bodyguard for a generous salary and, citing work-related concerns, reminded her, “It’d be best not to bring all those boyfriends of yours home.”

Xie Ying: ?

There’s a difference between humans and scum. Don’t lump her in with them.

For the sake of the money, she let the neighbor’s remark slide. But the neighbor’s behavior grew increasingly strange. Not only did they make a little Excel spreadsheet listing the crimes of those “boyfriends,” they also constantly put them down, both openly and behind the scenes, trying to climb to the top by stepping on their faces.

“They’re ugly and broke. Can’t you find someone with a little more quality, like me?”

After Xie Ying rejected them, the neighbor, known to everyone as decisive and powerful, actually burst into tears in the street. “Even if you don’t want me, I’ll cling to you and follow you anyway, ”

“Even if you... even if you think I’m a pervert.”

Ye Buci, head of the Ye family, was aloof and proud, and famously immune to rumors of romance.

When he saw a ring of scumbags, each with their own particular charm, surrounding Xie Ying, he clenched his fists and secretly resolved that becoming the other woman for love wasn’t out of the question.

It wasn’t until later that Ye Buci realized those men were merely fish in Xie Ying’s pond, waiting to be caught.

That night, Xie Ying received a message from Ye Buci. After an emoji of a little clownfish blowing bubbles came two cryptic lines:

“I want to be a fish too, ”

“Could you keep me?”

Xie Ying had always dreamed of becoming the greatest under heaven. As she carried a cake over to celebrate Ye Buci’s birthday, she casually asked what his birthday wish was.

“To be the boyfriend of the greatest under heaven.”

Can’t You Tell I’m Chasing You?

After graduating, Shu Xun opened a flower shop. She had no worries about food or drink and a steady income. Her only problem was that lately her mother had been having far too much fun setting her up on blind dates.

To make all those hopeless prospects stay away on their own, Shu Xun made a fake fundraising page, put on sickly makeup, and took a few photos against a hospital backdrop. Then she pretended to be on death’s door and mass-messaged the men she’d just added as blind dates.

[Suddenly struck by a serious illness and hospitalized. Life in danger. Urgently need 2 million yuan for treatment.]

Shu Xun got straight to the point: “You there? Send me 1 million yuan, and once I’m cured, I’ll marry you.”

To make the act convincing, she even included her bank account number. As expected, she was rewarded with a string of notifications saying she’d been deleted as a contact.

Just as Shu Xun was breathing a sigh of relief, a ding sounded, followed by a text notifying her that 3 million yuan had arrived in her bank account.

[If that’s not enough, I can send more. Which hospital are you in?]

[No need to get married.]

Shu Xun: ?

She took her time sending him a link to download an anti-fraud app. “You and this app are made for each other, inseparable. Keep it with you at all times.”

Because of his outrageously handsome face, Song Ze'an had been a big name at school since childhood. After graduating, he was discovered by a talent scout, and within just a few years became a red-hot new award-winning actor.

Cool and quiet, stern and distant: that was how people in the industry generally described him.

But in college, Song Ze'an had been dumped by Shu Xun for being too clingy.

The two got back in touch because of a message sent to the wrong person.

He wanted to win her back, but didn’t want to repeat the past, so Song Ze'an pretended to be one of Shu Xun’s blind dates and chatted with her online for days. He was passionate and full of suggestive banter, but when they met in person, his past failure made him put on a cold front and keep a safe distance from her at all times. He might as well have had the words “We’re not close” written on his face.

It wasn’t until he saw the parade of flamboyantly dressed men surrounding Shu Xun every day that Song Ze'an finally tore off his disguise.

He held her tightly in his arms and, just like before, rubbed his face against her neck, unable to bear being apart from her. His voice was aggrieved, with a trace of unease. “Can’t you tell I’m chasing you?”

“Senior, I don’t think I can get rid of this clingy bad habit.”

“I have absolutely no self-control when it comes to you.”

Shu Xun tilted her head back and rose onto her toes to kiss his trembling lips. “Then don’t change.”

Thinking of how, when they were alone, he’d clearly want to get closer but would pretend to be aloof and indifferent, she laughed. “I don’t want to see a teddy bear turn into a silly, adorable husky, either.”
