Ye Temesha was the unattainable first love of the male lead in a certain web novel, Holy Sword. Born into poverty, she was admitted to the continent's top magic academy, the Tower. Early in the novel, during a team competition, she was placed in the same group as the good-for-nothing male lead. At a critical moment, she unleashed tremendous magical power and successfully helped the swordsman male lead kill a dragon and claim its prize.
The male lead admired her perseverance and loved her cool, noble, pure, and flawless nature. He couldn't forget her, and repeatedly tried to befriend her whenever their paths crossed, only to be calmly rejected.
[Comments: Why is she acting so high and mighty? You'll be crying and begging the male lead soon enough.]
Ye Temesha, who can see the comments; summoned thousands of years into the future by heretics using forbidden magic; a prehistoric being; the greatest archmage in the history of the world; capable of killing a dragon with a single spell; and the one who merely had the male lead smash an exam camera with his sword: ?
Me? A support? Pure and flawless? Acting high and mighty? Begging the male lead???
She found it laughable and dodged yet another chance encounter with the male lead.
[If the author keeps portraying this ungrateful unattainable first love like this, I'm dropping the novel.]
[Please, First Love Sis, hurry up and get together with the male lead. She's so much like my own first love. If she doesn't get together with him in the novel, I'm seriously going to kill myself, aaaaah!]
With these comments ringing in her ears every day, Ye Temesha finally couldn't take it anymore. She set up a grand magic array and sent out a comment of her own.
[Verified] Ye Temesha: You're so annoying! Can't a first love have a first love of her own?!!!
The comments erupted.

Later, the comments finally stopped shipping her with the male lead and instead kept asking:
[Who is Shasha's first love? Tell us already! We're so curious, so curious, so curious!]
[Please, First Love Sis, hurry up and live happily ever after with your first love. She's so much like my own first love. If she doesn't get together with him in the novel, I'm seriously going to kill myself, aaaaah!]
Ye Temesha: <(._.)>

Lucio, the most gifted middle-rank mage of this century, found traces of necromancy in the sword wounds on a dragon. He suspected that the dragon hadn't been killed by the swordsman named Fjord, and began to suspect the solitary "Ye Temesha of the Mountains."
He gradually discovered that the apprentice mage led a strange life. Every month, she secretly broke through the wards to visit the gallery of archmages at the top of the Tower. One day, unable to resist his curiosity, he followed her up and saw Ye Temesha silently dispel the final binding spell and take down a portrait. Just as he was shocked to realize that the sage, second only to the greatest mage, Krista, looked exactly like him, Ye Temesha pulled a forgery from her portable magic pouch and hung it in the portrait's place.
The ink was still wet. The young man in the painting had a cool, pure gaze, and the delicate, hazy brushwork made it obvious that the work was filled with love.
Lucio suddenly sensed something was wrong. Just as he was about to run, he heard footsteps behind him: tap, tap.
She grabbed him by the shoulder along with his invisibility cloak, leaving him no choice but to turn around stiffly and meet her gaze.
Her eyes were dark, as though she were looking through him at someone else.
She said, "You don't seem to remember me, darling."
"But I've found you."

The comments cheered:
[Yes! Go get him, girl!!!]
[Shasha, I just realized he's been watching you for six months.]

The male and female leads are both archmages from the Mythic Age. Back then, they were colleagues, and the female lead had a one-sided crush on him. Sexually inexperienced couple, one-on-one romance, female-led relationship.
The male lead is an elf and a believer in the Church of Light. The female lead is an unbeliever who appears to be an archmage but is actually a dark mage.
The original male lead isn't evil.
At its heart, this is a marvelous adventure about a max-level powerhouse returning to the beginner's village and exploring the continent of magic.
Theme: Even a first love can have a first love of her own.
