When Bai Jingyou woke up, a lingering smell of disinfectant filled his nostrils.

It has a very pungent smell.

He struggled to open his eyes and saw a pure white ceiling with a bottle of transparent liquid hanging from it, dripping down a thin tube and extending all the way to the back of his hand.

The cool needle pierced the blood vessel, causing a slight swelling sensation.

Is this... a hospital?

Before he could sort out his thoughts, his brain felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer, and countless fragments of memories that did not belong to him surged in like a flood bursting its banks.

The owner of memories, also known as Bai Jingyou.

The young master of the Bai family is a prominent figure at Haicheng University. He comes from a distinguished family and is exceptionally handsome.

He should have been a chosen one, but he turned out to be a complete love-obsessed person.

The object of his infatuation was a girl named Lin Ruyu.

Images from his memory flashed through his mind like a poorly edited, clichéd movie.

"Lin Ruyu, this is a limited edition perfume that I had someone bring back for you from France. I hope you like it."

"Lin Ruyu, this restaurant is very difficult to book. I waited in line for a long time."

"Lin Ruyu, are you having some kind of trouble? Tell me, and I'll help you solve it."

……

The scenes of humbly fawning made Bai Jingyou's stomach churn; he was so embarrassed he could practically dig a seaside villa out of his toes.

This Bai Jingyou is practically a walking engraving of the word "simp" on his forehead.

The final scene of the memory is frozen under the tree-lined path on the university campus.

Holding flowers in his hands, Bai Jingyou nervously and expectantly confessed his love to Lin Ruyu.

The girl named Lin Ruyu tilted her head slightly, looking innocent and troubled, and said in a soft voice as if afraid of disturbing a butterfly, "Jingyou, you are very good, but... I really don't have any thoughts about dating right now."

and then?

Then, Bai Jingyou, overwhelmed with grief and anger, fainted and was taken to the hospital.

Bai Jingyou: "..."

He closed his eyes, feeling a throbbing pain in his temples.

This is not some damn hallucination.

Bai Jingyou, Lin Ruyu... these familiar names, this ridiculously idiotic plot, isn't this the same urban romance novel he read before he transmigrated to kill time?

A story about a female protagonist who has nothing to offer except her looks, yet inexplicably attracts countless high-quality men, and a group of male characters whose intelligence has been lowered, all of whom stage a melodramatic and ridiculous drama where she runs away, they chase, and they are all trapped.

And, by sheer bad luck, he ended up transmigrating into the most resentful male character in the story.

The guy who was obsessed with the female lead, crazy about her, and even banged his head against the wall for her, was ultimately used as a stepping stone by Lin Ruyu and met a tragic end.

Just recalling the original owner's foolish pursuit of Lin Ruyu, Bai Jingyou felt an urge to jump out of the window right now.

He's a top-tier rich kid, with money and good looks, he could have any woman he wanted, so why did he have to hang himself on a stunted, crooked tree?

Did he end up in the hospital because of a vague refusal?

How shameful!

Bai Jingyou smirked, a hint of mockery in his eyes.

He remembered that Lin Ruyu in the book was a master of martial arts.

She never explicitly accepts anyone's advances, nor does she explicitly reject them.

She revels in the vanity of being the center of attention, accepting all the conveniences and benefits offered to her by her suitors with a clear conscience, yet she can turn around and innocently tell others that we are just friends.

While discussing academics with a finance major, she had the sports major save her a seat, and sat comfortably in Bai Jingyou's luxury car, not even letting him touch her hand.

This kind of woman had a very fitting name in her past life—green tea.

It's still top-grade Longjing tea.

Now that he's the one in this body, it's time to rewrite the script.

Should we let him continue being that simp who fawns over Lin Ruyu?

dream.

He had no interest in getting involved in those childish games of men fighting over a woman.

He raised his other hand, the one that wasn't receiving the injection, and touched his chin.

Now that we know the plot, this world is full of opportunities. Instead of wasting time on a woman, we should make good use of the Bai family's resources and our own precognitive advantage to do something meaningful.

For example, let the Bai family's assets multiply several times over.

As for Lin Ruyu...

Bai Jingyou's eyes turned completely cold.

She's just a parasitic plant that climbed to the top by relying on men; without those sustenances, she's nothing.

He will no longer provide her with any nourishment.

Just as he was planning his future, there was a gentle knock on the door of the ward.

Tap, tap, tap.

Bai Jingyou adjusted his breathing, and the sarcasm and indifference on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a calm demeanor.

"Please come in."

The door was pushed open, and a man in a business suit and gold-rimmed glasses walked in. He was Chen Mo, the original owner's assistant.

"Young Master Bai, you're awake." Chen Mo saw him sit up and breathe a sigh of relief. "The doctor said you just had a sudden attack of anger and a bit of low blood sugar. It's nothing serious. You'll be fine after a couple of days of rest."

"Understood," Bai Jingyou replied casually.

Chen Mo was somewhat surprised.

The young master Bai used to be aloof to outsiders, but his emotions fluctuated greatly, especially when it came to matters related to Lin Ruyu. Now that he's awake, however, he's unusually calm.

He cautiously observed Bai Jingyou's expression and tentatively asked, "Young Master Bai, regarding Miss Lin... would you like me to send something over to explain things?"

In Chen Mo's view, his young master's hospitalization this time was entirely due to the failure of his confession.

According to past practice, we should now try to continue to please Lin Ruyu.

Upon hearing this, Bai Jingyou looked up at him.

His gaze was calm, yet it inexplicably made Chen Mo feel a sense of pressure.

"Explain?" Bai Jingyou's voice was unreadable. "Explain what?"

"So...you suddenly fainted yesterday..."

"From now on, I have nothing to do with her." Bai Jingyou interrupted him directly. "You don't need to report anything related to her to me anymore, understand?"

Chen Mo was stunned.

I was completely stunned.

What... what happened? The person who booked the entire theater just two days ago so they could watch the same movie as Lin Ruyu is saying it's okay today?

This change happened so fast.

Could it be that his confession was rejected, and he turned to hate because of love?

"Also," Bai Jingyou added, as if remembering something, "anything I gave away before, if I can get it back, I'll get it back. If not, then forget about it."

Chen Mo's mouth opened even wider.

Things that have been given away... are they going to be returned?

This includes, but is not limited to, designer handbags, jewelry, limited-edition cosmetics... the total value of which is enough to buy an apartment in a second-tier city.

What kind of shock did Bai Shao suffer?

Seeing Chen Mo's horrified expression, Bai Jingyou grew impatient.

"Can't understand?"

"Got it! Got it!" Chen Mo snapped to attention and nodded quickly. "I'll get on it right away!"

Watching Chen Mo's hurried departure, Bai Jingyou finally felt a little better, as the anger in his heart subsided.

Forget about his character design, forget about his storyline.

I'm done playing.
