The Foolish Childhood Friend Who's Secretly Obsessed With Me
Bai Ximu transmigrated into a book. In her previous life, she was an overworked office drone. Now she's been born with a silver spoon in her mouth: she's beautiful, her parents are deeply in love, and her family is powerful and prestigious.
She even has a brilliant, capable older sister who will inherit the family business. As a spoiled heiress, she can just take it easy, live off her family, and do whatever she wants.
Life is practically perfect! Bai Ximu could wake up laughing from her dreams!
There is just one thing wrong with it.
The book she's transmigrated into is a super-Mary Sue novel. She's the heroine, and she attracts at least four handsome, rich, and powerful men.
She trips while walking, and a gentle, handsome man helps her up and falls for her. After gym class, she washes her face by the pool and accidentally drops her handkerchief. A sunny, handsome puppy-like guy returns it and starts pursuing her.
Her Mary Sue powers are first-rate. Everyone loves her, and flowers bloom wherever she goes! Bai Ximu often finds it all overwhelming!
Just as these flirty men are about to disrupt her wonderful life, Bai Ximu comes up with a plan: act like a block of wood, pretend to be sharp-tongued, and send every one of them packing!
A male side character helps her up after she falls. She rubs her arm with a blank expression. "Thanks, but don't touch me."
Someone picks up the handkerchief she dropped, so she casually throws it away. "I don't want anything someone else has touched."
She sends every male side character packing, and her plan works perfectly! Everyone calls her the second wooden block of the Bai family!
Just when she thinks she can finally rest easy...
One summer evening before college, her next-door neighbor pins her against a wall and kisses her. He's from a prominent family, smart, handsome, and the boy who's been her childhood friend since they were little, always walking beside her with his usual cool indifference!
Eyes red, the boy corners her beneath a willow tree and kisses her fiercely, over and over, then gives a chilling laugh.
"Bai Ximu, I don't know if you're really a block of wood or just pretending, but I'm telling you now: I've waited for you for eighteen years. Even if you're really made of wood, you'd better wake up. Starting today, you're my girlfriend."
"Got it?"
Bai Ximu: "..." Of all the things you could do, why are you acting like the domineering hero of a romance novel?
Even if you're going to play the rich, domineering CEO, you're still just a second male lead, not the hero. The male lead is still at school waiting for the heroine to enter the story.
As the saying goes, childhood friends can never beat someone who appears out of nowhere!
