"Ye Zhen, the student council is waiting for you in Building C, Room 203."
Ye Zhen, who was in self-study class, was called out by a classmate from the neighboring classroom.
The weather was hot.
Ye Zhen squinted her eyes, taking in the dazzling colors of this world.
What an extravagantly designed school this was!
Luxury permeated every corner—Roman-style sculptures and fountains dotted the grounds. Everyone passing by was impeccably dressed, their appearance refined down to every strand of hair.
Without a doubt, this was a world straight out of a comic book.
This was Saint Laurent Academy, equivalent to a university in the real world, yet with a few key differences.
The minimum age requirement for admission is eighteen.
Annual academic reviews are conducted; those with poor grades may be held back or even fail to graduate.
After completing three years of study and earning all required credits, students can pursue further education. Some advance to the main campus of Saint Laurent, while others head to other cities…
That's equivalent to pursuing graduate studies or doctoral degrees in the real world.
Now, less than a month remained before Ye Zhen's final graduation exam at the end of her three-year term.
The scorching wind blowing across her face carried a faint sweetness. In the distance, magnolia trees bloomed with large white flowers, releasing a rich fragrance.
Beads of sweat trickled down her youthful, innocent face.
Long-awaited early summer.
Long-awaited youth.
Reborn!
Truly reborn!
Ye Zhen never imagined she'd get such a stroke of luck, let alone reincarnate into a manga she'd once read, becoming the classic villainous female supporting character—Ye Zhen.
Wait.
Villainous… female supporting character?!
Villainess???
Ye Zhen furrowed her brow, trying to connect with that mechanical, stiff voice in her mind: "Dog System, are you still there?"
[Host, hello! Welcome to this cute system!]
"Are you kidding me? I'm a man! Do you even understand what that means?"
Ye Zhen fought to suppress his rising anger as he argued with the system in his mind: "Even if I'd been bedridden for ten years, I was still a 6-foot-tall hulk before I died. I put up with you shrinking me down to 5 feet 10 inches, but you can't even shrink my physical features, can you?"
Yes, that's right.
Before his transmigration, Ye Zhen was actually a man.
A man turned into a cute girl—and one who looked utterly helpless at that? No one could stand that!
These skinny arms, this tiny waist—she'd struggle to carry a bucket of water. How was she supposed to live like this?
And she was straight as an arrow, okay?
Even in this frail new body, she still adores all kinds of beautiful girls.
How was she supposed to flirt with girls now? How was she supposed to enjoy this brand-new life?
[Host, hear this cute little excuse! It was an accident. Your death was just too unfortunate. At that exact moment, there was only one body compatible with your soul—no other choice…]
Ye Zhen took a deep breath. "So what do we do now?"
She wasn't one to make a fuss.
Her rational, masculine mindset made her prioritize "problem-solving" when confronting issues.
[Host, to make it up to you, I've deleted and modified all three hundred mandatory tasks—like "humiliating the real heiress," "making the male lead fall for me," "ruling the world," and "conquering the universe." You're free to do as you please in this world!]
Hearing this, Ye Zhen exhaled deeply.
This dog system might be unreliable, but it still had some use.
Seriously, were those mandatory tasks meant to be
a joke
or something?
Anyway, back to the point…
This comic about fake and real
heiresses
had a plot so cringey and tacky that nearly every man in the story adored the real heiress, Ye Fuli, while every woman despised her, viciously bullying her!
Among these women, the one who acted the most viciously and met the most tragic end was none other than Ye Zhen.
After all, she—Ye Zhen—was the fake heiress!
She had monopolized her parents' affection for twenty years, just days away from inheriting the Ye family's billions. Yet after Ye Fuli appeared, she lost everything overnight—driven penniless from her home.
In the end, she died alone and miserable, succumbing to illness beneath a bridge.
Emerging from her memories, Ye Zhen sighed.
"Going against the Mary Sue heroine? That's practically suicide."
As everyone knows, the leading ladies in Mary Sue comics are all supremely arrogant and domineering.
High IQ, stunning looks, and magnetic charm!
Each of them seemed to have read the script beforehand, never stumbling into a single pitfall. Their lives were like having cheat codes activated, smooth sailing all the way.
What good could come to anyone who defied such a goddess?
What's even scarier is…
In this script, burdened with the ultimate debuff of being the fake heiress, even if I don't court disaster, I'm destined to be cast out of the family eventually!
Ye Zhen sighed again at this thought.
"All I can do seems to be to give up and play innocent, secretly pack up my valuables, and be ready to run at any moment."
Stay away from the heroine to stay safe!
Stay away from the male lead, and I'll have a future!
Great. Life is looking brighter by the day.
……
……
C Building, Room 203.
Ye Zhen pushed open the heavy door.
Here, it was eerily quiet and eerily dark.
All the floor-to-ceiling curtains were drawn, but as her eyes gradually adjusted to the gloom, Ye Zhen could make out the scene at the back of the classroom.
A figure sat alone in the back row.
A girl with a high ponytail, dressed neatly in her school uniform, sat expressionless, staring at her.
As the faint light seeping through the curtain slits illuminated her face, Ye Zhen's heart skipped a beat.
Holy crap, it's the female lead!
At this point, the female lead shouldn't even know who she was—the evil supporting character.
Ye Fuli's expressionless face was unsettling, but what was truly terrifying was the words she was about to utter: "Come here and clean my shoes."
Hearing this, Ye Zhen forced a smile. "Why?"
"You ask why?"
Ye Fuli's lips also curved slightly upward into a smile.
Her smile was beautiful, but right now, it looked terrifying.
"Ye Zhen, come here and take a look. What is this?"
Ye Zhen watched as she pulled a stack of documents from the desk drawer.
Immediately, the stack was tossed in front of her, scattering across the floor.
Among the scattered papers, Ye Zhen spotted the words "Paternity Test" on one sheet.
Ye Zhen's head buzzed.
She hurriedly communicated with the system: "System! System! You dog system! What's going on here?"
[Uh, some unknown malfunction has occurred… This cute little system is working hard to fix it…]
Damn it.
The dog system was useless.
But judging by the current situation, Ye Fuli had somehow discovered that Ye Zhen was the genuine heiress of the wealthy Ye family.
Yet at this point in time, Ye Zhen hadn't started acting recklessly or bullying Ye Fuli at all.
Why is Ye Fuli staring at me with such a cold gaze?
Could it be that she already knew this fake heiress would eventually go on a rampage, tormenting her relentlessly?
No!
She had changed. She absolutely would not self-destruct!
Wait, this is confusing, so confusing…
Ye Zhen took a deep breath, about to make some excuses, when Ye Fuli spoke: "Ye Zhen, you don't want this matter to be exposed too soon, do you?"
Their eyes locked.
Ye Fuli propped her chin up, her smile forced and insincere.
She seemed to be waiting for her answer.
Ye Zhen felt like crying but had no tears. She answered honestly, "I… I don't want it to."
If she were kicked out of the house now, she'd truly starve to death on the streets.
Moreover, judging by the look in Ye Fuli's eyes, even if she were kicked out, she wouldn't have it easy.
Ye Fuli must have found out something…
She had to figure out what was going on with her!
"Then from now on, you'll do whatever I tell you to do, okay?"
She stretched out her legs and beckoned Ye Zhen with a flick of her finger.
The leather shoes on her feet were a bit dirty.
"Come here first and clean my shoes."
