Leaving the airport at ten o’clock and then taking an hour to go from the airport to Huatian Hotel. Fu Yichen could still be able to sleep comfortably and then participate in the audition at nine o’clock the next morning. Of course, this was the original plan provided that he didn’t get blocked by fans at the airport for two hours.
Fu Yichen took off his sunglasses and threw his bag on the bed. He then turned to his assistant standing behind him, “Go and take a rest. I’ll handle the other matters.”
An apologetic look flashed on his assistant, Xiao Tian’s face. He couldn’t hide the exhaustion on his face, “Then Brother Chen, you should also rest early.”
After a two-hour-long flight, they were stuck at the airport for more than two hours. Then it took another hour for them to reach their hotel from the airport and now it’s a few minutes after one o’clock in the morning. Not to mention a little girl, even a tall and fit man like Fu Yichen was unable to hide his exhaustion.
After Xiao Tian left, Fu Yichen took a simple shower and fell on his bed. His slender limbs almost filled the bed with the charm and strength of a grown-up man. However, at this time Fu Yichen was unable to hide the tiredness and annoyance on his face which made him feel a little downhearted.
It was hard for him to sleep in the middle of the night. Fu Yichen rolled over, laid on his back, and suddenly let out a sigh of relief.
Physical fatigue was the other reason for his exhaustion, his main reason was that he was mentally drained. To be honest, the overwhelming crowd of fans almost drowned him and he was trapped in that crowd for more than two hours, unable to move.
Of course, if it was his own fans then he wouldn’t be that exhausted. He happened to be on the same flight as a popular senior. That popular senior that had no intersection with him can be said to be a role model for their generation and was simply a benchmark for all their peers. Their popularity could be seen from tonight’s scene.
Before graduation, Fu Yichen had already started acting and was in the industry for about four to five years. In the past few years, he had received no less than a hundred plays. As long as he has the chance to play, he wouldn’t pass it. Unfortunately, the role he plays normally is either a sidekick or a supporting role. His acting was always on the edge1, so his reception has been lukewarm for the past five years.
It’s not because Fu Yichen was unable to act. On the contrary, Fu Yichen has great skin. His height of 1.85 meters allows him to perfectly display his tall and well-proportioned figure. His handsome face and gestures show the calmness and admirable demeanor of a grown-up man.
Such external conditions were absolutely excellent in the entertainment industry, not to mention that he was a diligent person. Even if he were to play a supporting role, he would give his best to play his role but unfortunately, he still has not met his Bole2.
Brother Xu, Fu Yichen’s former agent once said that Fu Yichen definitely had a talent for acting. If he was given the chance, he would definitely become a hit and a blockbuster. But the problem is that Fu Yichen was too rigid and straight, unyielding and stubborn. Sticking onto his principles.
In the big dye vat of the entertainment industry3, there are many mixes of fishes and dragons4. His character isn’t suitable for a place like the entertainment industry and opportunities for artists were their top priority5.
Fu Yichen admits that what Brother Xu said was right but he doesn’t agree with him. He insists on his own unyielding principles. So he will still have to persevere even if his reception is lukewarm. But occasionally in the dead of the night, he will quietly smoke a cigarette or make an inaudible sigh, just like his current situation.
Who doesn’t have their own dreams?
There are only a few people who can insist on realizing their dreams.
Fu Yichen tidied up his mood, turned on his side, and grabbed his cell phone that was placed by the bedside. His tired body was now extremely active and he was unable to sleep. So he simply swiped Weibo and browsed Tieba6.
For an actor who is seriously lacking in resources, sometimes opportunities could be stumbled upon in these places. With the rapid development of the internet, online literature has developed into an unprecedented position, especially online novels which are greatly sought after and loved by young people.
Various themes such as fantasy, time travel, rebirth, ancient times, futuristic…
Some that Fu Yichen had never even heard of. However, drama adaptations have pushed all of these to the highest point and more and more popular novels are being adapted into TV series and put on screen.
Be it online dramas, TV dramas, or even movies and animations, more and more novels were being adapted and put on screen. In this process, not only has it brought in new blood and new prospects into the film and television industry, it has also allowed online texts to gain an unprecedented development. This was actually a win-win process, even giving a large number of artists the opportunities to stand out.
This is the reason why Fu Yichen pays attention to these things. Of course, he has also read some online novels.
During his years on campus, there were millions of novels with ten millions of words. He would turn off the lights and hide in the quilt every night to read. But it has been years since then and he hadn’t had the time for many years.
Currently, online novels were not as good as previous literary works. Not only are the qualities a mix of good and bad, some even spread negative energy with their bad views which is why Fu Yichen was no longer willing to waste his time on it.
On the other hand, in the face of increasingly younger and wider audiences of online readers, many novel websites have lowered the thresholds for authors which directly leads to authors whose ability is unstable, so the works released are naturally a mix of fish and dragons7.
As he was scrolling through his phone, a post suddenly caught Fu Yichen’s eyes. It was a post with an eye-catching title, ‘Mary Sue should all die!’. He could feel the strong resentment across the screen and the post showed that the number of reads had already reached more than 250,000 and the number of replies reached as much as 100,000.
Fu Yichen raised his brows and clicked on the post with some curiosity. It could clearly be seen that it was a rant post and the object of the ranting was one of the popular types of online texts, Mary Sue romance novels.
Fu Yichen flipped through it casually and he saw words such as ‘Mary Sue authors are mentally retarded’, ‘brainless’ and ‘broken three views’. Following this post, Fu Yichen found a post with a very simple and rude name, ‘Anti-Mary Sue alliance’.
This post opened the door to a new world for him. There were tens of thousands of posts in it, all complaining about Mary Sue novels. The Anti-Mary Sue alliance state that today’s romance novels couldn’t be read any longer, they are all filled with Mary Sue characters who have no logic and broken three views.
The topic on Fu Yichen’s screen is full of Mary Sue and all Mary Sue should die.
This is probably the reason why this group of people gathered in this post. They were able to freely complain about Mary Sue Novel’s various unreasonable mental retardations, all kinds of broken logic, and distorted three views. All kinds of neuropathic texts…
Fu Yichen even read a few of the novels mentioned. The most popular novels that they were ranting about were ‘Devilish School Grass wants to Chase Me’, ‘Domineering Billionaire Husband, Please Be Gentle’ and ‘Three-Year-Old Empress Dowager Going Against the Sky’. This isn’t Sky-Defying… This title is more Heaven-Defying from how Mary Sue these novels are.
The corners of Fu Yichen’s mouth twitched and he was a little irritated. His eyes were looking at the strange post. Even if he didn’t pay much attention to them, the titles of the books alone blinded him. He couldn’t imagine the brain structure of the authors that wrote these sorts of things.
After a general scan of the post, it could be seen that this kind of post with these sort of book titles had around tens of thousands of replies. The resentments of those in the anti-Mary Sue alliance could be felt across the screen.
Fu Yichen looked through the post as if he was looking at a funny joke. Time passed and soon it was already past two in the morning in the blink of an eye. Drowsiness soon struck him before he knew it and he fell asleep at some point. His slender limbs lay casually on the bed with his mobile phone in his hand. His phone screen was still on and the content displayed on the screen was still the anti-Mary Sue Alliance post that he was looking at previously.
After a while, a white light flashed in the silent room. But the sleeping Fu Yichen didn’t notice it at all. It soon disappeared as if nothing happened, as if it was just an illusion.
The next day, Fu Yichen woke up to an unfamiliar voice. The moment he opened his eyes, Fu Yichen could only feel that today’s quilt felt very comfortable and soft. But there seemed to be an unfamiliar figure standing at the corner of his half-opened eyes which made him feel a little weird. As if he was still in a dream, seemingly awake but also asleep.
“Master, please get up. Breakfast is ready.”
The respectful and pampering sounding voice seemed a little old but kind. It felt strange but quite intimate. Fu Yichen sat up straight from the bed all of a sudden but the next second, he froze.
He was not in his hotel room. He was in a very spacious and brightly lit room, equipped with an eye-catching wardrobe, lighting, and bed, all of which exuded an extravagant smell of corruption8 and standing beside his bed was an old man in a neat suit. The old man was looking at him with absolute respect and indescribable doting.
Fu Yichen swallowed unconsciously, completely in confusion towards his situation. The old man standing beside his bed bent down towards him with a grin on his face and in a respectful tone said, “Master, you are finally awake.”
Fu Yichen’s heart jumped once more. He was pretty sure he didn’t know the old man but he was also equally sure that the man was speaking to him, ‘What the hell is going on? Is this a dream?’
Before Fu Yichen could speak, the old man skillfully picked up the clothes on the hanger that was by the bed and walked towards Fu Yichen, “Master, breakfast is ready. It’s your favorite steak.” The old man stretched out his hand as he spoke, seemingly wanting to help Fu Yichen dress.
Immediately, Fu Yichen’s conditioned reflex blocked the clothes that the old man was going to hand over and blurted out, “I don’t like steak.” After speaking, he was stunned. It’s not that good to be so rude on their first meeting.
The old man was stunned for a moment but he soon regained his smile. Fu Yichen saw him put his clothes in front of him respectfully, “I’ll let Uncle Zhong prepare something else.”
The corner of Fu Yichen’s mouth twitched again, ‘What’s going on?’ He was completely stunned but the more he had to face such an unfamiliar situation, the more he had to remain calm. No matter what situation he was facing, he should always remain calm.
It wasn’t until the old man bowed, went out, and closed the door that Fu Yichen breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment though, a sudden voice that appeared made him shudder.
[Hello, welcome to the world of Mary Sue Novels. This is the Mary Sue Reversal System.]
A mechanical tone sounded out. It sounded a little strange.
Fu Yichen quickly determined that he was the only person in the room and there were no robots or anything similar. However, the voice definitely came from the room he was in. No, more precisely, from his mind. Immediately, Fu Yichen’s nerves tensed up.
“Who?”
[You have been bound to the Mary Sue Reversal System. From now on you will live and die with the system, don’t panic or be afraid, okay?]
The mechanical voice said once more, replying to Fu Yichen’s question without any emotion. But the last ‘okay’ didn’t seem to hold any intentions of comforting him, rather a word filled with a bit of disgust. The words ‘Mary Sue will die!’ unconsciously appeared in Fu Yichen’s mind.
“What is this thing?” Fu Yichen tried his best to calm down. Although he wasn’t too focused, he could clearly hear the three words Mary Sue9. It reminded him of the post he had just read. The situation he is in right now should definitely have something to do with it. He could only think properly once he calms down.
[The system is not a thing.] The mechanical voice spat out. It sounded very strange, [This is the Mary Sue Reversal System. All Mary Sue should die!]
Fu Yichen raised his eyebrows. Sure enough, his situation is really related to that post. But how to explain his situation? His current situation is terrifying and he is very confused.
Fu Yichen took a deep breath and slowly calmed himself down, “Then please explain, what’s the current situation? What are you? And what are your intentions?”

Fu Yichen is a calm person and his calmness has been exercised to the greatest extent in the past five years. But even so, in the face of such a confusing situation, his heart was unable to calm down. This situation was too strange for him to calm down.
[The Mary Sue Reversal System is not a joke. The Mary Sue Reversal System is a super-powerful force that is formed by the strong resentment and complaints of those from the Anti-Mary Sue Alliance which causes the Illusory World Reversal System to form. The System isn’t child’s play1.]
Fu Yichen’s heart skipped a beat, ignoring the mechanical voice’s continuous rant. He was able to immediately grasp the key point, ‘Illusory world?’
[Yes, this is an illusory world derived from a Mary Sue romance novel. That is, the world of a book, the world of Mary Sue. Mary Sue should go die!]
The corners of Fu Yichen’s mouth twitched again. This mechanical voice isn’t suited for roasting2 but he could generally understand what was going on. That is to say, he is now currently in an illusory world and this world is a world derived from a Mary Sue romance novel. To put it simply, he has now entered a novel.
‘Is this a dream?’
Dreaming is similar to something like the person’s soul leaving their body to go to another unknown world. In a dream, a person would feel that everything around them was real and that their body was real but when the person wakes up they will only discover that it was all an illusion. The only difference between the book world and a dream is that he is aware that he is in an illusion.
[What the hell do you mean by dream?]
Fu Yichen closed his eyes when he heard the mechanical voice of the system, he needed to get used to this garbage-like system that’s full of rants as soon as possible. The mechanical voice continued before Fu Yichen could speak.
[You have been forcibly bound to the Mary Sue Reversal System and will coexist with the system from now on.]
[Then… how do I get out?] Fu Yichen could only feel that the corners of his lips were a little dry. Not mentioning how he got in, he should be able to get out, right? Although his current situation is something similar to dreaming, it’s a bit scarier than a dream because he was aware.
[Reverse the ending of the Mary Sue Female Protagonist in this article in getting the Male Protagonist, I hate the mentally retarded Mary Sue the most!] This introduction filled with spit shows that the system has a lot of resentment towards Mary Sue.
[What article?] Although Fu Yichen had a general understanding of the situation but he had never read any Mary Sue romance novels and even if he had read novels, at most he would’ve read Tom Sue3. Besides, there are thousands of Mary Sue novels, how would he know which one was which? Who was the Male Protagonist and Female Protagonist? What was the plot?
But soon the Garbage System answered his question.
[Host, please receive the information. Host, please receive the information]
Fu Yichen always felt that the tone of this system was a bit rude so he opened his mouth to talk, “Receive.”
[You just need to answer in your heart, no need to open your mouth.] That voice sounded a little gloating?
Now Fu Yichen doesn’t want to give it just a little beating but a very bad beating.
Soon, a large amount of information surged into Fu Yichen’s mind. After quickly clearing and sorting it out, Fu Yichen was stunned for a long time. It wasn’t because the information was difficult to sort or accept, it was really… it blinded his eyes. No wonder there was an anti-Mary Sue alliance.
He was currently in a campus Mary Sue romance novel called ‘The Devilish School Grass Wants to Chase Me’. Fu Yichen didn’t really blame the alliance for the hate anymore. Wasn’t this the novel that was hung up in the alliance? He had just glanced at it roughly at that time and didn’t pay much attention to it. He didn’t expect to be trapped by it at this time.
Fu Yichen remembered that when he had first glanced at it, it happened to be the author of this article that was being ridiculed by the group. It seemed that the author’s application to sign the largest novel reading website in China, Jinjiang literature city4, was rejected. The author’s little friend5 ran to the Jinjiang forum to laugh at the editor’s lack-of-eyes and was also spat on by the alliance.
Fu Yichen used his palm to support his forehead, he wasn’t interested in this mess. How much weight does he carry6? Besides, what does their resentment have to do with him? From billions of people in the world, why was he the one being bound?
Fu Yichen took a deep breath. Now was not the time for him to be complaining. Complaining can’t solve anything. The main priority for him now is to find a way to get out.
‘The Devilish School Grass Wants to Chase Me’ is a typical campus youth romance novel. The plot starts with the Mary Sue Female Protagonist’s point of view and it’s in this view for the entire novel. This novel article was very long. Although the plot was filled with dogblood and lightning7, the plot’s ups and downs appeared left and right on a magnified scale8. Fu Yichen summarized the plot in general.
The Female Protagonist Su Susu9 was originally a seventeen-year-old girl from an ordinary working-class family. She lived an ordinary life but because she accidentally saved the wife of the principal of Xingyao Aristocratic Middle School, she accidentally got the opportunity to enter Xingyao Middle School and was sorted into the famous third-year class of the school.
Xingyao Aristocratic Middle School was the most authoritative and prestigious aristocratic middle school in the country. Almost everyone wants to be admitted into this school but not everyone can enter. Either those with strong economic strength, those with absolute political power, or those with a strong familial background. In short, this is a school filled with children from wealthy and powerful families.
It was amazing that the Female Protagonist did a good deed and was admitted in because of it.
Along with that, the first class of the third year of the school is well known in the school to have students with a big background. It’s a class where students such as the child of the richest man in the world would be in. It’s a problem class that even the principal doesn’t dare to manage.
Coincidentally, this article’s Male Protagonist who is crazy, cool, and dazzling, the ‘as handsome as a god and as unruly as a devil’, the eldest young master of the Shen family, Shen Tianyu was also in this class.
And so the dogblood filled story began. The Female Protagonist who was poor, upright, and bold but with a good figure, was so different from the others that she attracted the attention of the devilish school grass. Since then, the two started a period of love and killing10. During this period, there were also others involved. The eldest grandson of a family with a military background, Xia Houming. The loyal dog second male and of course the mayor’s son, the third cannon fodder male.
In the end, Su Susu’s unknown and mysterious background was revealed in various twists and turns. In short, it’s a story about a group of noble sons with eyes above everything who all fell in love with a grass-roots princess11. Finally, in the end, the Male Protagonist, the devilish school grass, crushed the competition and got the hand of the grass-roots princess.
As expected of a Mary Sue novel. Fu Yichen who had finished sorting out the plot, didn’t recover after a long time. He was out of focus.
‘Can I choose to die?’
How to stop the Protagonist’s gold finger12 from being too thick? Moreover, Fu Yichen raised his hand and looked at his slender fingers and long slender legs. This was obviously not his body.
‘If this is an illusory world then, that is to say, what exists in this book world is only my consciousness. My body is still in the real world. If I choose to die, will my consciousness be able to go back to my original body?’ Fu Yichen asked the system calmly.
[Isn’t the host thinking too much?]
Fu Yichen’s veins jumped, was this really a system with no consciousness?
[This is an illusory book world, everything is an illusion. However, for the host this is all real.]
‘Can you explain?’ Fu Yichen’s heart skipped a beat and he had a bad premonition.
[Speak proper human words, okay?] The system was inexplicably arrogant.
The corners of Fu Yichen’s mouth twitched once more and he thought to himself, after he figures out the situation, the first thing he would do is to clean up this trash system.
‘What do you mean?’
[The consciousness of the host is real. The host has been bound to the Mary Sue Reversal System so the consciousness of the host and the system coexists and dies together. If the system dies so does the host. But if the host dies, the system will have to look for a replacement.]
Wasn’t it ‘If you13 die, I14 will die. But if I die then nothing happens to you’? Fu Yichen stroked his forehead, he could feel a headache coming. He had probably bumped into a dirty thing15 last night, which is why he encountered such an unfortunate incident.
[So once the host’s consciousness dies, the host will really die.]
Fu Yichen took a deep breath, ‘What if I live16 in this world?’
A person’s consciousness dominates their body and a person’s life and death are judged by the existence of their consciousness. Since his consciousness was in this world and stuck in this current situation, the identity of this body is unique. It can be presumed that this body’s living conditions are good in all aspects. Then is he going to be forced to live and die in this world with this body?
[The Mary Sue Reversal System is designed to reverse the ending of the Mary Sue obtaining the Male Protagonist. The Male Protagonist cannot be with the Mary Sue Female Protagonist, even if he has to end up with the second Female. The plot has already begun. And if it doesn’t turn around, the day the Mary Sue gets the Male Protagonist is the day the system collapses. Once the system dies, the host dies and the world in the book will collapse.]
Fu Yichen took a deep breath. He could only use two words to describe his situation, impossible17. The only way to leave this world is to reverse the ending of the novel. The final ending of the book is that the Female Protagonist Su Susu and the Male Protagonist Shen Tianyu get together and have a grand engagement banquet. So what he had to do was to reverse the plot, prevent the two from getting together and ensure that the Male Protagonist and the Second Female get together.
‘Then how am I able to know the progress?’
As a bystander, how is he able to know the thoughts of the two parties involved? What if he succeeds in separating the two but they secretly fell in love with each other in their hearts?
[The system will automatically sense it and prompt the host.]
“*Knock**Knock*” At this moment, there was a soft knock at the door and a familiar voice came into Fu Yichen’s ears.
“Young Master, how are you?”
“*Cough*” Fu Yichen cleared his throat and turned to look at the neatly folded clothes that were on his bed closely. It was a white shirt, a school uniform with black embroidered edges. It’s made of high-end and luxurious fabrics. The small words ‘Xingyao Middle School’ are embroidered on the corner of the collar as well as the cuffs and the school emblem. Every part of the clothing was delicately designed.
It seems that he was also a member of Xingyao Middle School which made his situation much easier to handle. It’s always better to be closer to the Protagonists.
Fu Yichen quickly put on his clothes and stood up. Although he hadn’t seen what the face of his current body looked like, as far as the height of the body was concerned, it wasn’t any different from his own body. He was still tall. In terms of muscles, this body is firmer and more stylish than his own body. It can be seen that this body used to exercise frequently. Fu Yichen was very satisfied with this.
When he opened the door, Fu Yichen was once again shocked by the magnificent hall that was revealed. Everything he saw was lavish and corrupt. He lived on the second floor and when he opened the door, he was able to see the luxurious hall downstairs. There were several people in uniforms and when they saw him come out, they all stood at attention and said respectfully in unison.
“Morning, Young Master.”
Fu Yichen held back the twitching corners of his mouth. He had never seen such a scene, even in the several popular idol dramas that he had acted in.
“Young Master, let’s go and wash up first.” The old man in the suit bowed with a smile.
[Uncle Qi, the housekeeper.] At this moment, the mechanical voice of the system suddenly sounded in Fu Yichen’s mind and Fu Yichen almost stopped in his tracks.
Fu Yichen didn’t answer but followed Uncle Qi towards the bathroom. But the moment he stepped into the bathroom, Fu Yichen suddenly thought of a question.
‘Who am I?’ This was the key issue. Only by knowing his identity would he be able to know what role he was playing and how to react to whoever he was facing. As an actor, playing roles is not a problem as he has a script. However, he still didn’t know what role he was playing.
[Xia Houming.]
“F*ck.” Fu Yichen accidentally blurted out.
No wonder he felt something was off. When the system had said the name of the grandson of the military family that is the second male, Fu Yichen saw himself in the mirror.
Damn, wasn’t that his own face?
Editor: Xin
Proofreader: UM3
“Young Master?” Uncle Qi looked at Fu Yichen with a puzzled look on his face.
“You go out first.” Fu Yichen suppressed the stormy waves in his heart and spat out a few words calmly. The voice that came out was a bit cold but was full of charm which was in line with the temperament of the second male lead.
“Understood Young Master. I’ll be at the door, please call me at any time if you need anything.” Uncle Qi didn’t suspect him and was as respectful as always, closing the door on his way out.
Fu Yichen took a deep breath and looked at the face in the mirror that was himself, that was four to five years younger. In fact, apart from the fact that his outline was slightly more immature than in reality, his 18-year old self was already over 1.8 meters tall and handsome. His face was well-defined and even his eyes showed a coldness that didn’t match his age, showing the uprightness of a soldier.
‘So I am now the Second male Xia Houming?’ Fu Yichen wanted to confirm it.
[Yes, the host is the Second male Xia Houming.] The mechanical sound of the system answered him.
Fu Yichen slapped cold water on his face in a daze and soon the stimulation of the water was able to calm him down. His current identity was actually a good thing for his current situation. As the Second male lead, he has enough opportunities to get in touch with the Male and Female Protagonists which is the most favorable condition to prevent them from developing feelings or breaking them up.
On the other hand, as one of the protagonists of the novel ‘The Devilish School Grass Wants to Chase Me’, his unique golden finger gives him an absolute advantage and convenience.
Of course, for an actor who had been playing a supporting role for five years, this was definitely a great opportunity to improve his acting skills or to say, an opportunity to show his acting skills. Fu Yichen could only think this way optimistically.
Before sitting at the dining table, Fu Yichen quickly sorted out the information about the Second male Xia Houming in his mind. He had to admit that the character of the Male Protagonist in this Mary Sue romance novel was completely better than the male lead in most idol dramas that he knew. He could only sum up a few points.
The relationship between the Second male and the Male Protagonist is very close (as close as brothers). He is handsome but not as handsome as the Male Protagonist and is often reduced into the foil of the Male Protagonist.
The biggest villain has more money and power than the Male Protagonist but he isn’t able to win against him or get the Female Protagonist.
Most of them have superior backgrounds, outstanding abilities, successful careers, handsome and compelling but no matter how much they do for the Female Protagonist, they will always be rejected by the Female Protagonist in the end.
Handsome, extraordinary, and even flirtatious, but all infatuated with the Female Protagonist and dedicating everything for her. They will not hesitate to do everything for her but no matter what, they aren’t able to obtain the Female Protagonist’s heart.
In the end, all of them choose to let go because of their love for the Female Protagonist, fulfilling the ending of the Male and Female Protagonist. They either leave sadly or pair up with the Second female.
In short, it’s similar to a table of cups. As the Second male, Xia Houming obviously couldn’t get rid of this routine. Born in a military family, he has a distinguished status, outstanding ability and intelligence.
He has been favored by his grandfather who is a senior military officer since he was a child. He is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. Especially after falling in love with the Female Protagonist there were only two words to describe him, total infatuation.
Except for not obtaining the love of the Female Protagonist, the setting of the Second male Xia Houming is almost the same as that of the Male Protagonist who is amazing, cool and dazzling.
But even so, he wasn’t able to escape the fate of the Second male. After falling in love with the grassroots Female Protagonist, he was completely infatuated with her. However, the Female Protagonist chose the Male Protagonist so the Second male could only look at the two showing love to each other with a smile on his depressed self.
Of course, although the Second male chose to give up the Female Protagonist, in the end he must be sad and definitely not live a good life. Otherwise it would appear that he didn’t love the Female Protagonist enough which was not in line with the Mary Sue’s settings of ‘Everyone loves me and they can’t extricate themselves’. With the professional settings of a qualified actor, Fu Yichen quickly sorted out his role. Whether it’s role analysis, character speculation or behavioral expressions… he had already made professional judgments of all segments. Then he took a deep breath and walked out of the bathroom.
“Young Master, the breakfast has been changed into an English breakfast.”
As soon as Fu Yichen opened the door, Uncle Qi greeted him respectfully. At this time, Fu Yichen remembered that he had inadvertently rejected the steak that was specially prepared. He is now Xia Houming, not Fu Yichen.
Fu Yichen hummed neither lightly nor heavily as a response and then based on the description of Xia Houming’s mansion that he searched for in his mind, he calmly walked to their super-long dining table which was quite large and luxurious and also had a royal VIP-level lineup. This setting of a soldier’s home is unreasonable and the scene blinded Fu Yichen’s eyes.
Fu Yichen sat down expressionlessly on the dining table that could accommodate eleven to twelve people. The reason why he could accurately find his place on the dining table was that his breakfast had already been placed where it should be. There was no one else to serve but him at this time.
Knives, forks and chopsticks were placed on both sides of the plate in an orderly manner. Fu Yichen glanced at the rich breakfast on his plate. Sausage, bacon, tomato, toast, omelet… Everything was placed in the best position to ensure that the plate looked gourmet.
Fu Yichen calmly picked up the glass of milk beside the plate and took a sip- overwhelmed with shock.
In addition to Uncle Qi who has always been standing beside him respectfully, there were also two maids and a fat uncle wearing a chef’s uniform next to him. They all looked at Fu Yichen with a respectful and expectant attitude.
[Maid Xiao An, Maid Xiao Li, Chef Zhong Shu.]
The mechanical voice rang in Fu Yichen’s mind at the right time.
Fu Yichen calmly ate a sausage, chewed it slowly and raised his eyebrows, “It’s not salty.”
The expressions of the onlookers changed, especially Uncle Zhong who quickly bowed and said, “Apologies Young Master, I will pay attention next time.”
Fu Yichen didn’t even answer but continued to eat expressionlessly.
In fact, Fu Yichen had to admit in his heart that he was a salt-lover. He also always only liked Chinese food, “In addition, I will only have Chinese food in the future.”
The four other people present were surprised. But it was fleeting, Uncle Zhong hurriedly agreed. After all, their purpose was to provide the best service for their master.
Fu Yichen’s face was calm but an inexplicable wave of relief flashed in his heart, not because of the pleasure of being above others but because as an actor who had no chance to act but loved acting. He was able to perform on the spot. He could also add plays at any time. After all, except for the fragments in the book, the rest of the performance belonged to his own free-to-play plot and there is no script to play on the spot which is very fun.
After breakfast, Fu Yichen raised his hand and looked at the expensive watch on his wrist. It happened to be 7:35. It had been mentioned many times in the original work that Xia Houming was deeply influenced by his family’s strict military discipline and style so he had a strong sense of time. Not only that, he also has a regular schedule for his life, work and rest. He was definitely not an arbitrary person.
Fu Yichen put on his school uniform jacket and Uncle Qi personally carried his school bag to the car for him. At this time, the driver had already respectfully opened the car door for him.
“Young Master, please1.”
[Private driver, A-Yuan.]
The sound made by the system was a bit unpleasant but its reminder function was really worthy of praise. Fu Yichen looked at the low-key luxury car in front of him and was calm, but some words such as ‘corruption’ and ‘violation of discipline and law’ flashed in his mind.
Leaving home at 7:30, arriving at the gate of Xingyao in 20 minutes, and then walking into Class 1 of Year 3 within 10 minutes, half an hour just before Xingyao students finished their early morning reading. He is able to avoid the useless morning reading time. This is the author’s description of the Second male Xia Houming’s schedule when going to school in the original work.
Of course, these understandings are extracted by Fu Yichen from the original author’s exaggerated and naïve long speeches without any meaning at all. Unfortunately, Fu Yichen who had just arrived, took a few minutes to get used to the role so he was about five minutes late.
But in these five minutes, the gate of the majestic Xingyao Middle School was blocked. It was 8:03, only three minutes after the end of morning reading.
“Ah ah ah!” Screams sounded around the gates.
“It’s Senior Xiahou!”
“My God, it’s Senior Xiahou!” The student was so excited that they were about to faint.
“So handsome, male god. Ah ah ah, male god!” That student probably had epilepsy?
…
The moment Fu Yichen stepped out of the car door, he was faced with such a scene. He glanced blankly at the scene that looked like a fan meeting. Fu Yichen’s face was calm with a small hint of impatience. He couldn’t help but mention in his heart, ‘They are very dedicated in their group performance but their acting is a little bit too exaggerated.’
The moment Fu Yichen raised that sentence in his heart, perhaps his cold eyes stayed in a certain direction for a few tenths of a second.
“Ah, Senior Xiahou… he he he2… He looked at me!
“Oh, she fainted!”
Fu Yichen felt that they weren’t acting a little excessively but too excessive.
Reaching out to take the schoolbag that A-Yuan respectfully handed over, Fu Yichen walked straight towards the school. Even though the main gate was surrounded, Fu Yichen seemed to have his own aura. Wherever he passed, the onlookers retreated one after another. The crowd, while obsessed with fanaticism, didn’t forget to follow his figure with their phones.
However, just when Fu Yichen was about to reach the end of the crowd, there was a piercing scream of ‘ah’ behind him. At the same time, the piercing sights and mobile phones that were facing him all turned 180 degrees into another direction.
Fu Yichen turned his head and saw an unknown luxury car driving slowly outside the school gate. The students who were chasing him previously, rushed up like a swarm of bees as if they smelt something sweet. Pushing each other as if they were afraid of being unable to grab food. Their performance was more dedicated and exaggerated than before. They were lucky enough to meet Senior Xiahou who never entered the school after the end of the morning reading. However, this was a whole different person that made them sprint 100 meters within two minutes. The real reason that caused them to rush to the school gates at the speed of flight had arrived.
“Ahhhhh~ Senior Shen is so handsome!”
“Male god ah ah ah, the male god is so handsome, his hairstyle is so cool!”
“Sure enough, there is no one more handsome than Senior Shen.”
“Senior Shen, this is the love letter I wrote to you… Ah!” The student was slapped away by others.
“Go away. Senior, please look at my… ah!” Similar to the student above.
…
What sh*tty settings.
Fu Yichen’s mind automatically flashed the scene of the Male Protagonist Shen Tianyu’s first appearance in the original novel. The author of this Mary Sue novel used a full chapter to describe the appearance of the Male Protagonist. Wasn’t it the current scene? Radiant and domineering, like a king who rules the entire school – this was the Male Protagonist Shen Tianyu.
Fu Yichen raised his brows, then turned around and left. However, before he was able to take a few steps, the screams behind him suddenly reached an indescribable height. He was wondering why when he suddenly felt a strong gaze behind him that couldn’t be ignored, like the aura of the Protagonist that is equipped with a halo. Bright and impossible to ignore.
When he turned his head around, he saw a boy behind him who was about the same height as him.
“*Bang* *Bang*” Fu Yichen seemed to hear something in his mind getting hit repeatedly until his mind went blank. Fu Yichen completely crashed.
About two seconds later, Fu Yichen resurrected with half of his blood back and he heard the person next to him jokingly say in a very magnetic voice, “It’s amazing Xiahou, you’re five minutes late today.”
Fu Yichen crashed again and about two seconds later he tried his best to hide the twitching corners of his mouth but his heart was in disarray.
So could anyone tell him why the handsome, cool and dazzling Male Protagonist Shen Tianyu looks exactly the same as Su Zhan, who is at the top of the entertainment industry?
