A proud, polite slacker who rolls with the punches × a scheming, flamboyant man who acts like a mom
[This is a time-crossing love letter about saving each other.]
Full manuscript in progress
Blurb 1
Wen Qiao spent four years of college wasting her time and accomplishing nothing. At graduation, she finally managed to land exactly zero job offers.
Lying on her empty dorm bed, she happily munched on snacks and watched TV dramas, completely unfazed.
When she woke up, Wen Qiao had returned to the day she started her freshman year, and was bound to the [Outstanding College Girl Development System].
Wen Qiao: "Heh, I'll have to pass."
White Cat System: "The System has denied your request to refuse."
And so Wen Qiao was forced to bind herself to the "Outstanding College Girl" System, becoming one of its long-term "victims."
Wen Qiao's mind was blown, but she had no choice but to accept the fact that she had gone back to her first day of college.
On her first day of class, Wen Qiao kept the laid-back attitude of a senior, expecting to sleep until noon as usual. But the moment it turned seven, White Cat started banging a gong beside her ear. "Wake up!!"
When Wen Qiao refused to budge, White Cat immediately activated the System's enforcement measure: a lightning strike.
"Aaaaaah!!"
Wen Qiao was smoking from head to toe after being struck. Full of resentment, she got out of bed.
From then on, whenever Wen Qiao disobeyed the System's orders, she'd get struck by lightning.
Wen Qiao: "I really want to get you fixed!"
The System was extremely responsible, and even created a personalized Outstanding College Girl (College Badass) Training Manual for her.
1. Get up early and eat breakfast every day
On the weekend, before Wen Qiao had even opened her eyes, the System dragged her all the way to the cafeteria for breakfast.
2. Don't doze off in early-morning classes. You must pay close attention.
The System submitted a request to cause trouble unless she sat in the front row. Refuse or agree? Wen Qiao didn't even hesitate before reaching for Agree. Before her finger could touch it, the System zapped her with a spark.
Wen Qiao: "..." A young woman must know when to bend and when to stand tall, so she bravely chose to give in.
3. Keep up the daily three-kilometer campus run
As Wen Qiao puffed and panted, dragging her feet the whole way, the electrified System cat chased her from behind. The main point was to keep her company.
4. No watching online lectures at faster playback speeds
Huaxia University's online course: 96 videos, all to be watched at normal speed
Wen Qiao slammed the table and leaped to her feet in a rage. "Isn't this going too far?!"
System: "Violent tendencies detected. Level One Lightning Defense Alert activated!"
5. More exciting entries in the manual to come... Add this book to your library to unlock them.
Blurb 2
To complete the first goal the System had set for her in college, passing the College English Test Band 4, Wen Qiao sat dozing in the library. Across from her, her childhood friend of many years, Pei Xuheng, watched her.
His childhood sweetheart, once a happy-go-lucky slacker, had now turned into a study machine. Pei Xuheng was both surprised and vaguely threatened.
It turned out that whenever Wen Qiao had completed System tasks before, she had been right there beside him.
On weekend mornings, the cafeteria was nearly empty. Wen Qiao was the only one who kept eating breakfast every day, and, by coincidence, she always sat at the table next to his.
In class, everyone crowded into the back rows, while Wen Qiao showed up on time every day to sit in the front row and pay close attention. She even earned praise from his favorite professor.
At the track, whenever he went to exercise, he always saw Wen Qiao following behind him, sweating buckets.
At first, Pei Xuheng thought, "When did she get so hardworking? Could it be... she wants to surpass me?!"
Later, Pei Xuheng thought, "She keeps showing up near me. Could it be... she's secretly in love with me?!"
Wen Qiao: "No, that's not it. You're overthinking things. I just don't want to get struck by lightning."
A pure, sweet romance. Note from November 2024.
Note:
1. The heroine isn't a poor student. She's the type who succeeds after years of hard work.
2. The heroine is a late bloomer when it comes to love, but this is a committed one-on-one romance.
Theme: Make the most of your youth
