Hands Off the Beautiful NPC

"The Path to Godhood" is a classic face-slapping wish-fulfillment novel. The protagonist, Lin Shuo, carries the bloodline of the Azure Dragon and enters the White Tower. He works his way up from the bottom to become the strongest Sentinel, gaining precious friendships and the adoration of countless people.

And Jiang Li plays an indispensable character in this kind of wish-fulfillment story:

A brainless, dumbed-down NPC.

She humiliates the male lead when he's poor and down on his luck, admires him when he starts to shine, and clings to him when he's become successful. She spreads rumors that they have a relationship, ruins his reputation, and even goes so far as to drug him and force herself on him.

According to the plot, Lin Shuo will ignore her, reject her, humiliate her in public, and finally kick her out of the White Tower when he can no longer stand her, leaving her to fend for herself.

Jiang Li thinks he's actually a pretty nice guy.

He even lets a vicious cannon-fodder character run wild for two hundred chapters.

Jiang Li takes her missions very seriously, but they always fail.

She humiliates Lin Shuo, and he responds with a bright smile, bending down to wipe the mud off her leather shoes. "Yes, this place really isn't suitable for a young lady like you."

She confesses to Lin Shuo, and he smiles with pursed lips as he takes the love letter in both hands. "I'll give it serious consideration."

After diligently working for 200 chapters, Jiang Li's face-slapping score is still zero. The System checks the comments, only to find things like [I'm shipping them so hard], [So sweet!] and [This couple is so lovey-dovey!].

The System and Jiang Li are both completely baffled.

In the end, Jiang Li can only blame the whole problem on Lin Shuo being too nice and too considerate.

When it comes to the drugging scene, Jiang Li hasn't even figured out how to get Lin Shuo drunk when he walks over, downs the red wine, and looks at her with hazy eyes. "Mm, I feel so hot."

Jiang Li stands frozen, the drug powder in her hand.

The System shrieks inside Jiang Li's head: [Hot? What hot? You haven't even drugged him! What the hell is he talking about? Something's wrong with him!]

A slow-witted, gentle girl x a scheming stalker who seems sunny on the surface.

A sweet little story about a big bad wolf and a little white rabbit.

The female lead is an ordinary person with her own survival smarts. The male lead is a hybrid.

A sweet romance with both leads having no prior partners.
