5:40 PM.
Lu Qing left campus and walked towards his apartment, feeling uneasy.
Not because of anything else, but because the incredibly cute girl following behind him seemed to have latched onto him, drawing considerable attention from passing students nearby.
"I'm Bai Xing, from the Broadcasting and Hosting Department, specializing in anime and film voice acting. Although I'm a freshman, one year below you, our elective courses basically overlap."
She introduced herself seriously, her sweet and clear voice seemingly meticulously crafted, as if even the frequency had been carefully designed.
Is this what a professionally trained student is like? Could she be a part-time voice actress?
Lu Qing wondered to himself.
"So, why do you keep following me?"
"I'm not, I'm just going home too. Seems like we take the same route, is that not allowed?"
Bai Xing blinked her eyes, running a few steps innocently to walk beside him.
Lu Qing glanced at her from the corner of his eye, feeling quite pressured.
To be honest, Bai Xing's appearance was highly distinctive—black and pink outfit, dyed hair, Japanese-style makeup, cute nail art...
She carried a soft, fluffy shoulder bag, exuding girlish charm. Especially after removing her mask, her underground idol-level beauty caused nearly everyone around to turn their heads, with a head-turning rate approaching 100%.
It was easy to imagine that if his good friend Wen Le were here, he would definitely exclaim—"Isn't this exactly the ultimate cute anime wife I've been dreaming of!"
Unfortunately, this delicate porcelain doll-like girl was now seemingly possessed, following him relentlessly.
"Stop it, I've already said I prefer being alone. Even with the compensation you offered, it holds no attraction for me."
Lu Qing maintained a stern face, quickening his pace.
"Hey! Why are you so stubborn? Are you saying I'm not cute enough?"
Bai Xing acted as if she'd received a huge blow, pitifully reaching out her small hand to grab his sleeve.
"?"
Obviously, this gesture was quite dangerous.
To onlookers, they appeared like a quarreling couple, with the girl seeking forgiveness after being wronged, while the boy coldly ignored her with disdain.
More ridiculous was that Bai Xing naturally possessed an angelic, pure face and was extremely skilled at acting.
She sniffled, her tearful expression melting the hearts of everyone around. Even Lu Qing, being directly involved, couldn't be so emotionally dense as to roughly shake her off and leave.
"Holy crap, am I seeing things? That super cute girl over there seems to be getting scolded by her boyfriend."
"Yeah! She's gorgeous, beautiful face and long legs, even wearing black stockings! How could anyone bear to bully such a high-quality girl?"
"Which department is she from... why haven't we heard about her before? Just with that face and that aura, she'd be noticed just walking across campus, right?"
"If only I could take her home..."
"Bro, wake up."
The surrounding discussions had given their verdict.
Clearly, Bai Xing's qualities completely overshadowed ordinary college girls. Any guy with decent aesthetic sense would find it impossible not to be moved.
"Let go quickly, people will think there's something between us if they see."
Lu Qing, already feeling the crisis, had no choice but to stop and speak up.
"I won't! If you don't agree to my request, I'll sit on the ground crying, saying you have another girl outside, that you abandoned me after we spent the night together, and make you die of embarrassment."
Bai Xing raised her small face, using pitiful eyes to say not-so-pitiful words.
"?? Are you trying to blackmail me?"
"Not at all, I'm just upset, not understanding why you're dissatisfied with me."
She pressed her small lips together, appearing genuinely hurt.
Logically, with her looks, she should have been the center of attention all her life, treated like a precious jewel. Just a casual word from her would have hordes of fanboys rushing to curry favor, leaving her without any worries.
Such a person must be surrounded by flattery and praise, already tired of compliments and worship.
Now, the young girl had been blatantly "ignored" by Lu Qing, even after she actively offered dating compensation...
This was a fatal blow worse than failing an exam.
"Hmph, he subscribed to my channel but acts completely uninterested in me, doesn't even follow me! This won't do. Before he notices anything unusual, I must make him fall for me, make him completely dependent on me! Then finally tell him that I am Hoshizuki Rina - I am Rinae's real identity! I'll make him completely fall at my feet, I must conquer him!"
Bai Xing shouted in her heart, firmly raising her internal flag, while maintaining a pitiful exterior appearance, as if she had been severely bullied.
"Lu Qing, don't avoid the question. Answer me, am I not cute? I want to hear you say it yourself."
"...That's not it."
Forced to respond, he told the truth.
"Then why won't you date me? What about me dissatisfies you? Tell me, I can change, I can become whatever you like."
The girl performed her submissive act so perfectly that several nearby male students couldn't bear to watch anymore, some already cracking their knuckles, ready to teach her "boyfriend" a lesson.
"No, why do you have to choose me? Aren't there other groups that could accommodate a goddess like you?"
Lu Qing felt extremely troubled and quickened his pace again, "Also, how do you know my name? Who told you?"
"Of course I remembered it during roll call, you were sitting right next to me, I just had to observe a bit," Bai Xing rolled her eyes and continued following him.
"Huh..."
In fact, there hadn't been any roll call in today's Market Research class.
The teacher had simply announced the assignment content after stepping onto the podium, so such a lie naturally couldn't fool Lu Qing.
But he didn't care about these details anymore, only vaguely feeling that this girl approaching him was likely premeditated...
"Fine, anyway, stop sticking so close to me first. If you want me to agree to take you, you need to maintain a five-meter distance from me."
Since he couldn't outmaneuver her in mind games anyway, and refusing would only disadvantage himself, he chose to compromise and use diversionary tactics to shake her off later.
"Hmm, so you agree? You've accepted me as your attachment, right?"
She put away her wife-like expression and curved her lips triumphantly.
"I didn't..."
"Eh? What did you say? You agreed? That's wonderful! I knew you wouldn't leave me alone!"
Bai Xing locked down his intended words and pleaded, "But five meters seems a bit far, it's hard to hear clearly when talking, and inconvenient to walk together. How about three meters? Or... one meter? Is that okay?"
Pushing her luck seemed to be her specialty, and she didn't even need to act cute. Her plain tone combined with her pure face was enough to capture any man's heart.
Lu Qing's defenses gradually crumbled, and with no choice left, he decided to end the conversation and hurry along. He thought to himself: As long as I don't look at you, your charm won't have any effect on me.
However...
Until they reached the subway entrance, until he bought his ticket—
"Why are you still following me??"
"I'm taking the subway home too."
"Huh?"
"I also rent a place outside, don't live in the dorms," she said matter-of-factly.
"Okay, fine."
Lu Qing naively believed her story, thinking he could finally shake her off after a few stations.
However, this naive thought only lasted until they got off...
"Why are you getting off at this station too?"
"My rental place is nearby."
...
"Wait, we've walked so far from the station, why are you still following me?"
"I'm going this way too."
...
"Hold on, why do you have a keycard for Tianhe Platinum Apartments??"
"Hehe..."
"What the hell, y-you're entering the same building as me!"
"Because I live in Building C, Unit 1902."

u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty! Reward: 1000 Gold Coins.】 Shen Nian: "Wait, I’m a high school senior here—did some guy who got isekai’d accidentally bind his system to me?" Hold on, completing quests gives gold rewards? Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
