Ning Yi flew through the test paper that the teacher had just assigned for after-class practice. Each answer jumped into her mind the instant she finished reading the problem.
As a top student who worked through the WuSan while studying the HuangGang1, who felt it hard to bear not studying for a day, who couldnât wait to have a profound discussion with Mr. Wang Hou Xiong and Mr. Xue Jin Xing2Â on writing exams, Ning Yi was once dubbed by her worshiping classmates as the living problem-solving machine.
Unfortunately, a month ago, under the instigation of her deskmate, she read a novel with a supporting character that shared her name. The next day, she discovered that she had transmigrated.
Henceforth, top student Ning Yi disappeared and there was only mediocre trash student Ning Yi who canât even recite the first three elements on the periodic table!
Under the control of the plot, she could only act according to the original hostâs character design, unable to exercise free will. If there was any deviation, she would experience a headache.
I am really too difficult! 3
Nevertheless, life actually went for her, this little top student that loved studying like it was her life. QAQ

Really, if the Heavens could give her another chance, she swears she will never touch even a word of a novel!
âYiyi, your familyâs Lu Xu Nan is here!â
Her deskmate, Ju Meng, suddenly poked her, getting her attention with a whisper.
Ning Yi was forced to reluctantly put down the test paper that she had already more or less worked through mentally. She piously smoothed the corner that had been scrunched by her hand, picked up a little cake wrapped in pink sitting in the upper right corner of her desk, stood up, and walked toward the back row of the classroom.
She was going to give Lu Xu Nan, who was also the novelâs male lead, a cake.
This thing that she felt was completely meaningless, she had already done for a month since she transmigrated.
Because the original host liked Lu Xu Nan. As for how much she liked him? Starting from kindergarten in elementary school, she had liked him for thirteen years â that much.
She didnât know where she heard the rumor that said that if you make a strawberry cake to give to the person you like, the two of you will have a lifetime of happiness.
From then on, she began to give Lu Xu Nan cake every day.
Ning Yi transmigrated over on the first day.
Thus, she used her own hands that were originally used for problem-solving, that belonged to the future top scorer of the national college entrance exam to make cake for Lu Xu Nan for a month.
Honestly speaking, she herself also envied Lu Xu Nan, this lucky man. : )
Although in a monthâs time, Ning Yi had to do this kind of thing that lowered oneâs IQ by at least 100 points, she had at least gained something.
At the very least, through the passage of time and her own continuous testing, Ning Yi discovered that the character design could be gradually adjusted.
For example, right now. She had already transformed from that original hostâs condition of a world expert at acting spoiled that modified the grammar of the Chinese language to include âyingâ4Â in the list of modal particles5Â into a normal person that was ok with going âyingâ a few times a day.
She had reason to believe, so long as she completed her part as a supporting character, the binding of this worldâs plot would completely lose its power over her!
The original host, as the villainous female supporting character of this novel called âShining Starlight on Wanqingâ, was the small boss that the female lead, Mu Wanqing, met during high school and was also a stepping stone for the development of feelings between the protagonists, destined to court death with her low intellect and lay a wide and open road to happiness for the protagonists.
The original hostâs family and the Lu family were long time friends. They were both among the greatest noble families in Yucheng, an appropriate match.
The little ones were born in the same year around the same time and the other familyâs parents had watched them grow up. As for this pair of green plum and bamboo horse6Â dating, so long as they donât prematurely cross any boundaries, they tacitly accepted it and even encouraged it. The two friendly families were becoming even closer after all! It was so much that even before the two children had been born, they had already orally agreed on an arranged betrothal of the two.
Since young, the original host would often hear joking words like âBe NanNanâs wife after Yiyi grows up, okay?â When they were small, there was also a little kid who played with them that sang a rhyme, âNing Yiyi, dressed in red, marrying NanNan to be a little wife7,â to make fun of the two of them.
So in the original hostâs heart, she and Lu Xu Nan were destined to be together.
Starting from junior high, she had always considered herself to be Lu Xu Nanâs fiancee, pushing away any female that appeared beside Lu Xu Nan.
Later, following the development of feelings between Mu Wanqing and Lu Xu Nan, this kind of possessiveness caused the original host to begin continuously picking on Mu Wanqing and then continuously being face slapped by Lu Xu Nan, a cyclic journey of courting death.
Finally, the original host was thoroughly spurned by Lu Xu Nan because she pushed Mu Wanqing into the lake and nearly caused her to drown. After being strangled at the hospital and threatened with death, she finally gave up and was arranged to go study abroad by her family. Her role completely ended there.
At that time, which school should she attend? Both Harvard and Oxford were pretty good, but I like MIT even more!
Ning Yi was thinking freely about her future. She couldnât help sighing when she suddenly caught sight of Mu Wanqing sitting ramrod straight by the window wearing a pair of unsophisticated black framed glasses working on her problems.
The ugly duckling hadnât yet begun to transform into a swan, when will her days without the freedom to act independently finally come to an end? TAT
So envious of everyone else who can openly do questions!
Ning Yi sourly took her gaze back, walked to the last row of the classroom, and extended her hands holding the cake toward the young man that was sleeping on his desk.
Jiayou, Ning Yi! Today is the last day, after giving this, you wonât need to wake up early every day to make cake!
âNan gege, you definitely didnât eat breakfast again, right? I made this myself ying~â
ââ¦â
Lu Xu Nan didnât even raise his head, pretending not to hear her.
Ning Yi had already been subjected to Lu Xu Nanâs cold reception for a month. Although she wasnât the original host and didnât feel hurt, she also really couldnât come up with any good opinions of this person!
Was the WuSan not fun to work through? Had he completed the exercise booklet already?
Liking anything was fine, must you like a jerk so lacking in elegance?
The hands that held the cake didnât move. Ning Yi continued to softly and sweetly ask: âNan gege? Did you not sleep well last night? Do you have a headache?â
ââ¦â
There was still no movement.
He obviously just laid down! Even a pig wouldnât be able to sleep so fast, okay?
Ning Yi was speechless, but in order to give the cake, she had no choice but to continue like she was calling a spirit8: âNan gege, Nan gege? Gege?! Are you okay? Ying ying~ You wouldnât have fainted, right?â
She called him while she used the cake box to push Lu Xu Nanâs arm.
Lu Xu Nan finally raised his head under her unceasing persistence. His sword-like brows were tightly knit and his face was filled with impatience.
Ning Yi turned a blind eye, sending her cake forward with pleasant surprise: âNan gege, the cake I made for you~ For you to eat, after you finish eating it, can you teach me? I donât know how to do a lot of the worksheet that the teacher just assigned.â
Since before bed last night, Lu Xu Nan had been continuously hearing a sound similar to tinnitus ringing. In the beginning, the sound wasnât very loud, but later, it became more and more severe. He tossed and turned the whole night. When he woke up early this morning, it had already gotten to the point where his head hurt.
He took a trip to the hospital first thing in the morning, but no cause was found. Just now, when he laid down on the desk, his mind suddenly became extremely calm and quiet. The ringing had disappeared!
Lu Xu Nan who had just planned to have a good rest was called,â weng weng weng9â like the buzzing of a fly, a number of times by Ning Yi. His head hurt even more.
He swept a glance at the cake in the otherâs hands, not concealing his annoyance and impatience at all. His thin lips opened and closed, coldly spitting out six words: âNot eating, not teaching, get lost.â
Huh, old Dog Lu!
Ning Yi pursed her lips, the rims of her eyes slightly red, she still staunchly placed the cake on Lu Xu Nanâs desk: âNan gege, remember to eat it, not eating breakfast is bad for your stomach.â
What Lu Xu Nan couldnât stand seeing the most was this weeping and aggrieved face of hers.
Every day, if it wasnât ying ying ying, then it was wu wu wu10.
Since she was small, as long as Ning Yi showed this expression, he would suffer a calamity. Regardless of whether he was right or wrong, in short, he wouldnât be able to escape being scolded by his dad.
If he was wrong? You were wrong yet still wonât admit it? So old yet you actually still bully your meimei, you deserve to be scolded!
If he was right? Boys should yield to their meimei, how can you be so petty over little things and even make your meimei cry, you deserve to be scolded!
Thinking of those countless annoying matters, Lu Xu Nan was even more vexed in his heart. He directly snatched up that little pink box and tossed it backwards. With a clang, it was accurately and unmistakably thrown in the trash.
Ning Yi clutched her skirt tightly, afraid that she wouldnât be able to endure it and pull out a 40 meter long knife11.
Ahhhh! Draw your knife, Dog Lu!
So angry! How can there be trash like this in the world!
Be very thankful that youâre the male lead, otherwise the Exam Godâs hand would already be gripping your fate by its throat!
Ning Yi lowered her head, squeezed out a few tears, casted an aggrieved look at Lu Xu Nan, then turned around and left.
This time, even Lu Xu Nanâs deskmate, Fang Ci, couldnât watch on, he urged: âAi, Brother Nan, it wasnât so bad to the pointâ¦â
Ning Yi who was wiping her tears on the surface was, however, raging in her heart.
Stinky trashy, stinky dog poop! Teach me? Are you worthy?! When your dad was sweeping through questions, you were still wearing open-crotch pants12Â playing with mud somewhere!
After getting rid of the nuisance, Lu Xu Nan who was just about to lay down to continue sleeping looked at Ning Yiâs slender back in alarm.
Ning Yi was scolding him just now???
