He Xue transmigrated into a melodramatic novel set at an elite academy, where he played the role of a wicked male supporting character and lovesick doormat.
At first, the System told He Xue:
"Your character is a notorious lovesick doormat. The difference between you and other doormats is that they fawn over one person at a time, while you fawn over four."
"They are:
Yi Chuan, your boyfriend in name only, the young master of the Yi family. Young, handsome, and rich, he's a future overbearing CEO in the making. He's ill-tempered, arrogant, and looks down on everyone equally.
Wei Yu, the student council president. Polite and gentle, with excellent grades, he's been at the top of the campus confession board for ages. He's everyone's unattainable campus crush.
But all of that is a facade. He's never been a good person. He's extremely controlling, obsessed with maintaining his public image, gloomy by nature, and holds grudges, never letting the slightest slight go unpunished.
He Yansheng, a beautiful, icy professor who once went viral across the internet thanks to a low-resolution lecture video that still couldn't hide his good looks.
Worth mentioning: your families were neighbors when you were children, and your parents even joked about arranging a marriage between you. But clearly, he never took it seriously. He's devoted to academics and never even gives you a proper look.
Sheng Xia, a poor but determined junior and campus heartthrob. His father died young, his mother left, and his sickly younger siblings and shattered self are all he has.
He looks incredibly lovable and pitiable, but years of poverty have twisted him into a yandere, with his corruption level at one hundred percent."
"Each of the four male leads is handsome in his own way, and difficult in his own way, too. The only thing they have in common is that they all like pure, sweet little wallflowers and hate scheming bitches most of all.
And you are a notorious wicked beauty, a famous cheap floozy who throws herself at men, with not enough self-respect between your head and your toes."
Fortunately, the mission only required He Xue to play his role seriously. He didn't have to win the male leads' affection.
As long as he racked up enough hatred points, he could wrap up his role, leave the story, and earn a fortune, rising to the top of life.
He Xue took this mission very seriously. He even made a schedule for the male leads:
10 a.m.: Go to the basketball court to watch his dear boyfriend play, and go out of his way to show off his presence. Yi Chuan hates people who put on airs.
12 p.m.: Return to the dorm to rest. After showering, wander around shirtless on the balcony where the student council president can see. Wei Yu has been harassed by admirers for so long that he's developed a visceral disgust for people like that.
3 p.m.: Go ask Professor He a question. Pretend not to understand the simplest problems, then try to get out of it by acting cute and coy. He Yansheng can't stand stupidity.
In the evening, go work at the villa. Force a "chance encounter" with the other family tutor, Sheng Xia, and mock him as a country bumpkin who doesn't belong in the rich neighborhood.
Perfect. Plan in motion. (Check.)
He Xue drew pretty little flowers around his schedule and stuck it on his desk.
He thought that since he was working so hard to be a pain in the ass, he'd surely wrap up his part early and rise to the top of life.
Strangely, for some reason, as time went by, the male leads' hatred scores wouldn't go up. Yet their reactions to He Xue grew stranger and stranger.
Their gazes began to follow He Xue without them realizing it. They kept messaging him, anxiously demanding to know who the man beside him was.
They shaded He Xue from the sun on clear days and brought him umbrellas when it rained. They carefully learned what he liked, and their moods were always tied to him.
They competed for his attention and got jealous of each other. The good buddies who used to throw their arms around each other's shoulders became petty boys trading barbed comments. Their cool masks fell away piece by piece, shattered into scraps.
It seemed... they had all fallen in love with He Xue.
