Join the ServerTime, a swift and relentless current, had carried Li Yunxin into her third year at Starfall Magic Academy. At sixteen, she had blossomed into an elegant, slender beauty. The accursed Goddess System’s attribute bonuses ensured her radiance was impossible to conceal, even when she deliberately draped herself in the plainest attire. Unsurprisingly, the academy’s perpetually hormonal boys had concocted a “Campus Beauty Power Ranking”—and to her utter dismay, she was ranked third!
‘These perverted idlers with far too much time on their hands…’
Li Yunxin gritted her teeth, crumpling the latest issue of the ‘Starfall Beauties List’ into a tight ball. Emblazoned on it in gilded letters were:
– First Place: All-Element Genius Su Liyue
– Second Place: Frost Goddess Mu Wanqing
– Third Place: Night Elf Li Yunxin
‘Night Elf, my foot!’
She stomped her foot in utter frustration. She had gone to such lengths, wrapping herself like a zongzi in voluminous robes, always choosing the last row in class, even deliberately hunching her back when she walked. And still, these boys had bestowed upon her such a chuunibyou-esque nickname!
‘They truly are a boring bunch,’ she mused.
She had tried every conceivable method to conceal her beauty, yet she still managed to break into the top three of the campus beauty list. This accursed Goddess Cultivation System! If not for its attribute bonuses and the skill tree panel, she would likely be worrying about being captured and used as a cultivation vessel or pet! As a former ‘steel-straight man,’ she knew all too well the lewd thoughts rattling around in these boys’ heads.
Just last week, a greasy man who claimed to be a noble had ‘accidentally’ dropped his Transfiguration textbook at her feet. The lecherous gaze he gave her while bending down was precisely like that of a pervert on the subway in her previous life.
‘Low-profile… I must stay low-profile…’ Li Yunxin adjusted her test scores for the nth time. She deliberately missed two questions in her theoretical classes and held back thirty percent of her power in practical combat, perfectly maintaining a middle-of-the-pack ranking in her grade. This strategy allowed her to avoid attracting undue attention from her instructors while still ensuring a smooth graduation. Yet, this meticulous art of score manipulation proved even more challenging than slacking off under her boss’s nose in her previous life!
Moreover, after three years of observation, Li Yunxin increasingly found the top two ranked beauties on the campus list to be rather peculiar. Mu Wanqing had blurted out “yyds” during their last potion class, and Su Liyue had complained in the cafeteria that the food was “even worse than 996.” It was almost as if they were exchanging secret codes, though, to be fair, these terms had only become popular in the academy thanks to her, the self-proclaimed ‘meme queen,’ who propagated them everywhere.
‘Damn it, I need to find a way to verify their identities…’
Unfortunately, Su Liyue, that ice queen, was utterly unapproachable. Coupled with the fact that they weren’t in the same class and had limited opportunities for interaction, Li Yunxin had no choice but to focus her energy on improving her own strength. After all, in this world where strength reigned supreme, wouldn’t it be a simple matter to ‘package’ both campus beauties and add them to her harem once she was powerful enough?
However, developments unfolded faster than a tornado. Su Liyue, the very girl rumored to suffer from an allergy to men, actually contracted Ye Xingchen, the lowest-ranked student in their grade, as her familiar during a summoning class! What was even more outrageous was that the ice queen not only didn’t reject him but even blushed like a maiden in the throes of first love!
‘What the hell?! This plot isn’t right, is it? Why did a cuckolding male lead suddenly appear?’
As a former ‘steel-straight man,’ she understood this sense of NTR déjà vu all too well. ‘Where’s the promised phoenix-like female protagonist building a harem? Why was the female lead snatched away first?’
Seizing the opportunity of this practical combat training, and relying on her system’s formidable strength, she immediately ventured forth in search of Golden-tier magical beasts. Strangely, after searching the entire training ground, she only managed to locate one particularly troublesome lightning-attributed Golden-tier magical beast. After defeating it, she scoured the entire forest but found no further trace of Golden-tier magical beasts.
‘Damn it, the academy is so stingy! They only released three Golden-tier magical beasts!’
However, once she calmed down, she realized the true problem. For ordinary cultivators, a Golden-tier magical beast would require no less than four fully-staffed, powerful teams to defeat. Aside from her, with her system acting as an unparalleled cheat, who else possessed such formidable strength? Could it be Su Liyue, the stunning top student of the third year? If it truly was her, then things were becoming infinitely more interesting! She yearned to quickly kick that cuckolding Ye Xingchen out of the picture and bring Su Liyue into her own harem!
When the competition concluded, she, quite naturally, produced the Golden-tier magic core. Feeling the admiring and astonished gazes of her classmates and instructors, her heart swelled with a sense of satisfaction unlike anything her ‘social animal’ self had ever experienced in her previous life. Indeed, subtle showing off was the most lethal; if she was going to show off, she might as well go big!
This display, she was certain, would capture Su Liyue’s attention. After all, in her estimation, if not for that meddlesome Ye Xingchen’s interference, Su Liyue, with her unapproachable demeanor, softened only by a slight gentleness towards other girls, should have long since been hers for the taking!
However, man proposes, God disposes. When that cuckolding Ye Xingchen made his grand entrance, riding his flashy ‘little motorcycle’—a heavily modified magic broom—everything changed. Not only did Su Liyue’s gaze towards him betray an intimate affection, but what truly dumbfounded Li Yunxin was that he casually pulled out *two* Golden-tier magic cores! Even she, blessed with her cheat-like system, was utterly stunned.
‘Could it be that Su Liyue is not only peerlessly beautiful but also far stronger than I had anticipated?’ she thought. ‘If so, wouldn’t my plan to ‘conquer’ her be completely ruined?’
‘Damn that cuckolding Ye Xingchen!’ she gritted her teeth, though her gaze couldn’t help but linger on the modified broom. Its sleek lines and surging magic engine looked exactly like a motorcycle from her previous life, just missing two wheels!
The more Li Yunxin pondered, the more unsettling her thoughts became. Had she guessed incorrectly? Were the true transmigrators not Su Liyue and Mu Wanqing, but that cuckolding Ye Xingchen? It was entirely possible that he was the one who taught the two campus beauties those popular Earth slang terms!
After all, this guy was known as the ‘Alchemy Maniac.’ He could even modify a magic broom into a motorcycle shape. If someone claimed he didn’t possess some modern knowledge, only a fool would believe them!
Just as she was in the throes of a frantic brainstorm, a bouquet of moonlight roses was suddenly thrust before her eyes. Looking up, she saw a boy striking a greasy pose, a rose clutched between his teeth.
“Student Li Yunxin, I…”
‘Confess your ass! I’m a pure man!’ she roared internally.
Although this body was that of a beautiful girl, and she was bound to some damned Goddess Cultivation System, for her to accept such a perverted confession? Only if the universe restarted! On the other hand, the guy was somewhat handsome. If not for his lecherous aura, he would have strongly reminded her of an otherworldly version of Wang Dachui.
After coldly rejecting the lunatic named Liu Yuxuan, she hadn’t expected the fellow to make a comeback. This time, he was even more outrageous, reciting with deep emotion:
“I stop my carriage to admire the maple woods at dusk, the frosty leaves redder than February flowers…”
‘I’ll stop your sister’s car!’ Li Yunxin almost blurted out, then suddenly a shiver ran down her spine.
‘Wait! Isn’t that Du Mu’s poem?!’ she thought, her eyes widening.
Her pupils dilated as she stared at this ‘Wang Dachui 2.0’ before her, her mind practically overheating. ‘Could the real fellow transmigrator be here? Are the memes that Ye Xingchen and the others learned all circulating from this guy? But no matter how I look at it… this style just doesn’t feel right?!’
“Oh? Then are you Du Mu, or Du Fu?”
The scoundrel’s immediate reply, “Tofu?” utterly broke Li Yunxin. ‘You want to eat *my* tofu?!’ she fumed, swinging her hand to deliver a resounding slap! Then, following Liu Yuxuan’s aggrieved gaze, she locked onto Ye Xingchen in the distance and, with a swift stride, charged towards him.
“The Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger!” Li Yunxin cut him off, her finger practically poking his nose, directly deploying her ultimate verification code: “Answer immediately! No thinking allowed!”
This unprompted question immediately exposed two of them.
“The Precious Pagoda suppresses the River Demon!” Ye Xingchen blurted out.
“Teemo is one point five meters tall!” Su Liyue responded simultaneously.
Beside them, Mu Wanqing wore a face full of question marks, perfectly playing the role of an ‘otherworldly native.’
‘The Precious Pagoda suppresses the River Demon!’ (✓)
‘Teemo is one point five meters tall!’ (✓)
‘A face full of question marks!’ (X) – Mu Wanqing was directly eliminated!
Li Yunxin’s lips curved into a dangerous smile. ‘Excellent. Now, the Werewolf game can begin…’

Read : Not Me, The Fans
I hate transmigrators that think they are immediately entitled to a harem as soon as they traverse. Same with slave-hoarders. Meaningful relationships cannot blossom with that mindset. It just cheapens it.
Hopefully Liu Yuxuan can capture this fellow’s heart, hehehe.
