Chapter 1 The Noble Academy Substitute (1) She has always been the most special...
Chapter 1
In this prestigious St. Mus Academy, almost everyone knows Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi, although in the special talent class, has always been the most special in this aristocratic academy with a strict hierarchy.
Because in everyone's eyes, she is beautiful, gentle, and kind. Most importantly, she is the eternal white moonlight in the hearts of these top-tier pyramid masters.
Xia Zhi, however, disagreed.
Three years ago, she unexpectedly transmigrated into this world from a book. With guidance from the system Xiao Qi, she learned that she needed to complete all the "white moonlight" storylines before she could proceed to the next world, and only after all the worlds ended could she return to the real world. This was the first world. According to the original plot, she would eventually be rejected by the male leads due to the appearance of the female lead, ultimately leading to her accidental death. The female lead, Lin Yue, would then replace her, becoming 'eternal'.
Of course, unlike typical sweet romance novels, this is a tragic one. Xia Zhi's existence is the root of the pain for both the male and female protagonists.
Because the female lead always believed that she was a substitute, a series of heart-wrenching and physically abusive plots occurred.
In reality, Xia Zhi knew that the female protagonist was the one who was 'eternal'.
Because she'd been living inside this novel for several years, Xia Zhi was starting to get bored. But luckily, she'd just been informed that the female lead would be appearing at her birthday party. The female lead would be bullied, and the person who saved her would be one of the male leads.
From this point on, the female protagonist begins a heart-wrenching storyline with three male protagonists.
Xia Zhi was excited just thinking about it, because she could finally leave. Once she officially faked her death, she would have completed her mission in this world.
And now, her birthday party is about to begin.
Actually, as a girl from an ordinary family, she never planned to hold a birthday party. However, because Xie Yi and the others forced her to hold one, Xia Zhi had no choice but to do so.
The three male leads are Xie Yi, Meng Ziyue, and Xu Yu.
These three individuals come from extremely wealthy families; in this novel, they are top-tier rich second-generation heirs, wielding considerable resources and power. When Xia Zhi first met them, she was intimidated by their arrogance, but she still obediently followed the plot.
In the end, just like in the original story, they regarded her as their ideal woman.
However, it was only 'temporary', because the female lead appeared soon after.
Xia Zhi looked at the blue dress she was wearing with a bit of awkwardness. It did look good on her, but it was a little too revealing.
However, since it was a birthday gift prepared by Xie Yi, Xia Zhi could only take a deep breath and then push open the door and walk out.
As soon as she stepped out, she heard gasps of surprise from the crowd.
Xia Zhi felt a little awkward, and even a sense of incongruity. Should these things belong to her?
She sighed softly, then suddenly met Xie Yi's eyes, which held a half-smile. Xie Yi was wearing a suit today; his tall, lean frame made him appear long and slender. He stood out in the crowd, his fair skin and captivating, slightly upturned eyes holding a hidden glint of light. He exuded confidence simply by standing there, and his expensive clothes further accentuated his noble air.
He stared intently at Xia Zhi, then smiled slightly and said to her in spoken language, "Happy birthday."
Xia Zhi nodded, but in her heart she was calculating when the female lead would appear.
"Zhizhi, happy birthday."
Soon, Xia Zhi heard a familiar voice coming from beside her.
Xia Zhi couldn't help but look over; it was Meng Ziyue. Today, he was wearing a light gray suit, tall and thin, with gold-rimmed glasses. His eyes, beneath the glasses, held a hint of amusement, and his high, straight nose accentuated the depth of his gaze. His thin, cool lips gave him an air of aloofness.
Xia Zhi smiled and said, "Thank you, Ziyue."
Meng Ziyue subtly shifted his gaze. Xia Zhi looked so beautiful today that he couldn't help but feel a little flutter in his heart.
He was about to lose control; ever since he met Xia Zhi, he had been unable to control his emotions.
He would feel jealous whenever he saw Xia Zhi talking to the person next to her.
But it is precisely because of this affection that he carefully maintains his distance.
Xia Zhi didn't notice Meng Ziyue's change in mood. She simply walked to the front naturally and said with a smile, "Everyone, thank you for attending my birthday party. Please make yourselves at home!"
"Okay!! Happy birthday, senior!!"
Wishing you happiness every day, senior!
Looking at the fresh faces below, Xia Zhi couldn't help but sigh. She had been in this world for three whole years since she enrolled.
Xia Zhi looked around and finally found Xu Yu in the corner. Xu Yu was cold, but of the three, Xia Zhi had the best impression of him. Moreover, in the original story, when the female lead was being bullied, it was Xu Yu who came to her aid.
Xia Zhi planned to go find Xu Yu, since the female lead should be next to Xu Yu.
Xia Zhi dragged her skirt to the corner, and Xu Yu seemed to notice her, raising his eyes slightly.
Xu Yu's eyes were burning as he stared at Xia Zhi's innocent and beautiful face, speechless.
Xia Zhi was used to his silence, so she stepped forward and said, "Xu Yu, thank you for your birthday present."
For her birthday this year, Xu Yu gave her her favorite collaboration doll, and she was truly grateful to him.
Xu Yu raised his eyes indifferently, "It's alright, as long as you like it."
Xia Zhi nodded, then blinked. "Were you eating cake in the corner? Was it good?"
Xia Zhi looked at Xu Yu curiously, and Xu Yu's heart skipped a beat when he saw her face suddenly approaching. He pursed his lips, looked away, and didn't reply.
Xia Zhi didn't take it seriously; Xu Yu's personality was somewhat eccentric to begin with.
From an angle she didn't notice, Xu Yu's indifferent and handsome face turned slightly, secretly staring at Xia Zhi.
In truth, they didn't know how long they could endure it, but all three of them had extraordinary patience. They were extremely careful with this relationship, afraid of it breaking, afraid that Xia Zhi would no longer pay attention to them, and afraid that they would not even be able to remain friends with Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi was a little annoyed, wondering when the female lead would appear...
Suddenly, they simultaneously heard the mocking voices of several girls nearby.
"Lin Yue, you're really just copying others! You're wearing the same skirt as your senior today!"
"But you look really ugly in it!"
"Hahahaha! So funny! Look at her expression!!"
Lin Yue? Xia Zhi quickly realized that this was the heroine who had finally appeared!
She almost burst into tears of emotion, then she took a deep breath and subconsciously looked at Xu Yu.
Xu Yu didn't look at her, but frowned and looked over there, his face a little gloomy.
Xu Yu suddenly walked up to her without making a sound. Xia Zhi was a little excited; the plot should continue to develop along the original trajectory!
Everyone noticed Xu Yu approaching and couldn't help but tremble.
Xu Yu looked down at them and then said, "If you want to argue, go outside."
Xia Zhi: ...? Huh?
Xia Zhi found it a little strange and took another look at the female lead, Lin Yue.
Lin Yue was wearing the same dress as her today, but her dress was probably a fake. However, because she was pretty and charming, she looked pitiful in the dress.
Xia Zhi thought to herself, "The female lead isn't just imitating Dong Shi; she's the one who's really good at it!"
Xia Zhi stood still, waiting for Xu Yu to speak again.
However, a voice suddenly sounded in her head.
[Zhizhi! The plot testing has officially begun! However, it's uncertain whether the plot will follow the original storyline! In short! You must try your best to keep the plot on track!]
[Zhizhi! The plot has now progressed to the point where the female lead appears. When Xu Yu saw her, he saved her because of her pitiful appearance and the fact that she was wearing the exact same dress as you!]
Xia Zhi nodded silently in her heart, but after waiting for a long time, Xu Yu only glanced at them with disdain before preparing to walk towards her.
[Plot deviation detected! Plot deviation detected!]
Xia Zhi sighed silently in her heart. Although she didn't know why it was different from the original plot, her task was to complete the White Moonlight mission.
So Xia Zhi went over and asked, "Xu Yu, what happened?"
Xu Yu touched the expensive watch on his wrist and said casually, "It's nothing, just a few women arguing."
Xia Zhi found it a little funny, "What do you mean by arguing? They're just right to bully that girl, okay!"
Xu Yu couldn't help but frown. Xia Zhi was a kind person who often helped the weak.
but……
Xu Yu's gaze fell on Lin Yue, who was wearing the exact same dress as Xia Zhi today, which was nauseating to look at.
Xia Zhi quickly walked over, and when everyone saw her, their expressions changed drastically.
"Senior..."
Xia Zhi ignored them and looked at Lin Yue, gently comforting her, "Are you alright?"
Lin Yue looked at the beautiful older sister in front of her and felt inexplicably moved. She had just started school, but because of her poor family background, she had been verbally and physically bullied by them.
She had gotten used to it, used to being in the abyss.
But the beautiful woman in front of her clearly intended to help her, and for some reason, Lin Yue felt like crying.
Seeing that Lin Yue was about to cry, Xia Zhi felt a little sorry for her, so she bent down and took out a tissue and handed it to Lin Yue.
Lin Yue took the tissue with trembling hands, then asked a little shyly, "Beautiful lady, what's your name?"
"Holy crap! She doesn't even know Xia Zhi!"
"What are you pretending for?"
Lin Yue was a little confused. She genuinely didn't know anything because she had been bullied since starting school and hadn't paid attention to the outside world. As for today's birthday party, she had only wanted to sneak a piece of cake...
Xia Zhi smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Xia Zhi, and I'm your senior."
Lin Yue nodded upon hearing this, glancing at the blue dress she was wearing; it was clearly an authentic product.
Lin Yue said a little shyly, "Thank you, Senior Xia."
Looking into Lin Yue's pitiful eyes, Xia Zhi couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.
Sigh, the female lead will suffer in this angst-filled novel again.
Thinking this, Xia Zhi couldn't help but turn around and look at Xu Yu.
Xu Yu stared at them expressionlessly. Xia Zhi looked at his gloomy face and for a moment thought he was angry.
Why is he angry?
Xia Zhi was a little confused, but she still called out, "Xu Yu, come and help."
Xu Yu tried hard to suppress his emotions. She really was kind-hearted, being so considerate to a girl he didn't even know, yet she could be so indifferent to his feelings.
Xu Yu gave a cold laugh, but still walked over.
