Synopsis

Bai Niaoxiu is reborn in a parallel-world Tokyo. He only regained the memories of his previous life at eighteen, and his high school grades are abysmal. He’s the worst student in the school, year after year.

Just then, the model class monitor, a good student in both conduct and academics, approaches him. She offers him a fortune to play himself, posing as her delinquent boyfriend so she can take him home and rile up her dad.

Several choices appear right after that.

[Option 1: Go through the motions. Follow the script written by Yamabuki Minami and pretend to be a blond delinquent boyfriend for the trip to her house.]

[Option 2: Give it your all. Negotiate and suggest they make the performance as realistic as possible.]

[Option 3: Mind your own business and keep studying C Programming: From Beginner to Expert.]

[Option 4: Take advantage of the situation. “Class monitor, you wouldn’t want your parents to get divorced, would you?”]

Steer Clear of Toxic Reads, Focus on What Makes Each Story Special (Especially Fanfiction)

I've been reading on Qidian for twelve years. I don't give books ratings or stars ⭐ because everyone has their own tastes. I focus on what makes each book distinctive. The ones on this list have all found their own niche. Reading lets us immerse ourselves in worlds others have created and feel for their characters and stories. A book that suits your taste is hard to find. I read widely and I'm picky, so I'll collect any interesting books I come across here. I hope you find something you like. I

Older Unfinished Books, New Books, Fresh Themes, and New Takes

After all these years of reading, there are only a handful of novels I’ve managed to finish. I leave so many on the back burner for too long that I forget the plot and can’t be bothered to continue. So I start a new novel instead, then put it on hold after finishing it until I’ve forgotten the whole story… and the cycle begins again. So for most of these years, I’ve spent my time reading new books. This list only features new books I’m currently reading. Since I mostly read in short bursts and c

Urban Fiction, Entertainment, and Transmigration: The Best Picks

1. My main focus is urban and entertainment-industry fiction, with some historical, sci-fi, and spacefaring stories, as well as the occasional indescribable masterpiece. Xuanhuan, cultivation, and immortal-demon fiction rarely make this list. That’s just my personal taste. 2. I often browse other people’s lists too. Whenever I see a book I love recommended by lots of readers, I’m happy, but also a little intimidated. I can only work harder to avoid repeating the great books already on everyone e

🍀 When will the good books return? I raise my cup to ask the heavens. I don't know what year it is in the world of web novels. I long to ride the wind home, but I'm afraid of unfinished books and toxic weeds; this reading slump is too much to bear. What use is trying every herb when the good stuff is nowhere to be found? 🌙 The moon turns past the tower, shines through the low window, and falls upon those still awake. Why should immortal herbs be left unfinished? People have joys and sorrows, par
