He tricked the female lead into becoming his boyfriend, but then went on to criticize the male lead.

Sang Jiuning was woken up by her phone alarm.

When she opened her eyes, the ceiling wasn't the Totoro she was familiar with.

She was unable to come to her senses for a long time.

I've transmigrated? Transmigrated into a book?

A sharp pain shot through my head, and a flood of information rushed in.

confirmed!

She's transmigrated into a book.

She transmigrated into a college campus novel she had casually flipped through the first chapter of last night before bed, becoming Sang Jiuning, a cannon fodder roommate with the same name as the pure and beautiful female protagonist, Su Qingyan.

The book describes her in just eight words: hypocritical, pretentious, and vain.

As for the plot...

All she remembered was the female lead, Su Qingyan, who would be the school's white moonlight, surrounded not only by a dark and crazy male lead who loved to force love, but also by a group of devoted, handsome, and rich male supporting characters.

other?

What's the male lead's name?

What's a simp called?

I didn't remember one.

Sang Jiuning sat on the bed, remained silent for three seconds, and then her eyes suddenly lit up.

I've transmigrated into a book!

It's still a sweet campus romance novel!

Since she's destined to be a cannon fodder extra, why follow the plot?

The female lead has a crazy rant about the male lead, and a bunch of simps.

So it's not unreasonable for her to skip one, right?

She just loves that kind of devoted, obedient, clingy, and rich male supporting character!

Anyway, in the original work, the simps didn't even get a full look at their faces, so choosing whichever one she picks won't affect the main plot.

After all, the purpose of cannon fodder is to highlight the heroine's brilliance, not to actually advance the plot.

Sang Jiuning threw off the covers and got out of bed. She swiped her finger across her phone screen, opened the anonymous section of the campus forum, and searched for "Finance Department", "Campus Heartthrob", and "Often Hangs Downstairs from the Girls' Dormitory".

A trending post popped up: "Does anyone know?! Last night I saw that same guy wandering around Building 3 again, carrying a thermos..."

It seems that the female lead's simp has already started working after only one month of freshman year?

Sang Jiuning raised an eyebrow and clicked on the post.

The original poster described in an extremely excited tone how a tall, long-legged boy wearing a white T-shirt lingered outside the girls' dormitory at 8 PM, carrying what looked like an expensive-looking insulated container, before being "friendly" persuaded to leave by the dormitory supervisor. The comment section instantly exploded with speculation.

"Is that Weng Zhicheng from the Finance Department? I heard he's been going to Building 3 every day lately, I wonder who he's waiting for."

"Weng Zhicheng? That top scorer in the provincial college entrance exam, the one whose family is supposedly super rich? He's actually a sycophant too?"

"Don't talk nonsense, upstairs. What if they're waiting for relatives?"

"A relative needs to deliver a thermos in the middle of the night? And it's right outside the girls' dormitory? I bet five cents, he's definitely trying to woo a girl!"

Sang Jiuning's gaze lingered on the three words "Weng Zhicheng" for two seconds.

Provincial top scorer? Family is extremely wealthy?

This setup is definitely a top-notch simp candidate!

She was calculating in her mind, her fingers flying across the screen, trying to find out more information about this student, surnamed Weng.

Sure enough, someone in the comments section dug up more details:

"It seems that Weng Zhicheng lives in the villa area outside the school, and he drives a low-key Maybach when school starts."

"Not only is he good at academics, but I heard he's also an amazing basketball player. Last time in the Freshman Cup final, his game-winning three-pointer was absolutely stunning!"

"Ahhh, it's him! I saw him at the library yesterday, sitting by the window, the sunlight shining on his profile, he's like a novel hero brought to life!"

Sang Jiuning's eyes lit up the more she looked at him. Wasn't this the perfect tool she had always dreamed of—"deeply affectionate, obedient, and rich"?

Weng Zhicheng?

Sang Jiuning frantically searched her memory for information from the first chapter of the original book, but had no recollection of it.

It seems he's just a background sycophant, whose name might only be mentioned once or twice in conversations with strangers.

Perfect!

She immediately wrote down the name, left the forum, and opened WeChat.

The original owner didn't have many WeChat friends; most of them were classmates.

Using the profile picture of the original novel's female protagonist, Su Qingyan—a cute little rabbit—from her memory, she found her WeChat account. Clicking on it, she saw that her Moments were set to be visible for only three days, and the latest post was a photo of a library from yesterday, captioned: "Working hard!"

The comments below are overwhelmingly positive; she truly lives up to her reputation as the school beauty and female lead.

Sang Jiuning also gave it a like and commented, "Don't overwork yourself, remember to rest."

As mentioned in the first chapter of the original book, Su Qingyan mustered up her courage and added a certain big shot on WeChat.

Sang Jiuning tried hard to recall, but the phone number was blurry. She only remembered that it was the same as the legendary Nth simp who was the most devoted to the female lead, and it was missing the last digit.

I'm taking the gamble!

Sang Jiuning immediately pulled out her phone from beside her pillow and dialed a number from memory.

For the last digit, she closed her eyes and randomly pressed "6".

Searching for users brings up a user with a blank profile picture and the nickname "ZC".

That's him! Ong Chee Sing!

Sang Jiuning grinned and immediately clicked to add her as a friend.

The verification request was accompanied by witty remarks:

[Baby, receive your adorable girlfriend~]

send.

It didn't pass.

Sang Jiuning didn't care at all.

Being a simp requires patience.

Without thinking further, she logged out of WeChat and started washing up.

The girl in the mirror had a pretty face, with almond-shaped eyes, peach-blossom cheeks, and fair skin, but her eyes still held a trace of the original owner's timidity and scheming.

Sang Jiuning made a face at herself in the mirror, silently chanting, "From today onwards, I am Niu Hulu Jiuning! Cannon fodder? Forget about it! Simp? Here I come!"

After washing up, she changed into a simple white T-shirt and jeans, casually tying her long, black hair into a high ponytail, looking refreshing and energetic.

The original owner came from an ordinary family, but always loved to buy cheap imitations of brand-name goods, making herself look out of place.

Sang Jiuning doesn't have that kind of hobby; comfort and ease are the most important things for her.

Just as she finished tidying up, the dormitory door was pushed open, and a girl wearing a white dress, with long hair draped over her shoulders, who looked pure and innocent, walked in. It was none other than the female lead, Su Qingyan.

When she saw Sang Jiuning, a gentle smile appeared on her face: "Jining, you're awake? You don't have class today, want to go to the library together?"

Sang Jiuning looked at her, a standard "white moonlight" heroine, and felt no emotion whatsoever.

She waved her hand: "No, I have an appointment today."

Su Qingyan was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting Sang Jiuning, who always liked to stick to her, to refuse.

But she quickly smiled again: "Oh, is that so? Okay then."

After saying that, he went to pack his things.

Sang Jiuning ignored her subtle reaction, picked up her phone and backpack, and turned to leave the dormitory.

Her goal was clear—Finance Department, Weng Zhicheng!

Since he's "often loitering downstairs at the girls' dormitory," at this time, he might be on his way to deliver a loving breakfast to the female lead? Or perhaps he just finished delivering it?

She jogged all the way to the main road of the campus, her eyes scanning the surroundings like radar.

The campus is fresh in the early morning, and students are everywhere, doing their morning exercises or heading to class.

As Sang Jiuning walked, she asked for directions to the finance department's teaching building, and finally stopped in front of an impressive building.
