So What If the Beautiful Campus Belle Loves Money? (1)

"Mmm... my stomach's so full..."

Shi Zheng struggled in a haze, the alcohol weighing down her body and filling her head with cotton.

"Where do you think you're going?"

A deep male voice sounded beside her ear, slightly hoarse and tinged with an unquestionable desire for control.

Hot breath brushed the side of Shi Zheng's neck, sending a shiver through her.

She tried to push away the weight pressing down on her, but another hand easily caught her wrist and raised it above her head.

"No... I don't want any more..."

Shi Zheng's protest was silenced.

In the darkness, Shi Zheng could only make out a pair of eyes, dark and deep, like a bottomless pool ready to swallow her whole.

Her skin was exposed to the cool air, only to be covered by an even hotter body.

Like a small boat in a storm, she was tossed up and down by surging waves, until she finally sank completely into a dizziness that swept over her head.

Her head throbbed.

Her body ached, her back and waist sore.

Shi Zheng slowly woke, feeling as though a heavy truck had rolled over her again and again. Every bone in her body was protesting.

The crisp scent of cedar hung in the air, mingled with the intimate traces of passion.

The bedsheets were a mess.

Her school uniform and pink lace underwear had been carelessly tossed onto the carpet.

That, and the way her body felt, told her what had happened last night.

Apart from Shi Zheng, the room was empty.

The man who had spent a night of passion with her had long since left.

Shi Zheng pushed herself into a sitting position.

The quilt slipped down, revealing suggestive red marks on her shoulders and neck.

Everything that had happened last night was exactly what she had planned.

Shi Zheng called out in her mind: System, check the target Gu Yanshen's current favorability.

The system: [Gu Yanshen's current favorability: -99.]

Shi Zheng raised an eyebrow, unsurprised by the number.

In the original novel, the male lead Gu Yanshen, as the student council president of Sacred Cherry Academy, made the rules and enforced them perfectly. He was synonymous with order at the academy.

A girl of questionable conduct like the original host was exactly the type he hated most.

What was more, Shi Zheng had slept with him last night.

According to the original plot, the original host would currently be overwhelmed by the revelations about to appear on the school forum.

She would tearfully defend herself in the academic affairs office, then be formally suspended that afternoon.

Gu Yanshen, meanwhile, would watch coldly from the sidelines and even vote in favor of expelling her at the meeting.

But things were different now.

Shi Zheng threw off the quilt and got out of bed, stepping barefoot onto the carpet.

She walked into the bathroom.

She looked at the girl in the mirror, her complexion rosy and her beauty breathtaking.

The moment she became the original host, her appearance had automatically changed to that of Shi Zheng herself.

And now, her identity was that of the vicious female supporting character in a novel called "What Should I Do When Two Big Shots Set Their Sights on Me at the Same Time?"

She was a supporting character from an ordinary family who posed as a socialite and flirted with different rich second-generation heirs, dreaming of marrying up and crossing class lines, only to be dealt with by the two male leads working together after she framed the female lead, Su Qingqing.

So the first thing Shi Zheng did after transmigrating was change the course of the plot.

According to the original novel, last night's party had been thrown by a group of fair-weather friends to celebrate the other male lead, Hua Jinchen, becoming single again.

The original host had deliberately pretended to be drunk at the party, hoping a one-night stand would naturally lead to her becoming Hua Jinchen's girlfriend.

But Su Qingqing, who was working part-time as a waitress, stopped her, setting off the original host's subsequent jealousy and framing of the female lead.

But Shi Zheng had changed the script.

She had deliberately drugged both herself and Gu Yanshen.

Then she had "accidentally" wandered into his suite...

Remembering it now, Shi Zheng lightly brushed her fingers over the marks on her neck.

That was... thrilling.

Shi Zheng's lips curled up.

She turned on the shower, letting warm water wash over her body.

The mirror soon fogged up, but she could still see the marks.

The hickeys on her collarbone.

The handprints on her waist.

The bruises on her inner thighs.

Gu Yanshen had been really rough.

After her shower, Shi Zheng wrapped herself in a bath towel and walked out of the bathroom.

The system: [Host, your plan didn't work at all. Gu Yanshen's favorability is negative.]

[Your dirt has already been exposed according to the original plot. You're about to face expulsion!]

[Sorry to remind you, host, but if you don't complete the original host's wish missions, we'll both be finished if the mission fails!]

The original host had two wish missions in total.

One, resolve the expulsion crisis.

Two, snatch the two male leads away from the female lead and make those Celestial Dragons who looked down on her kneel before her and act like dogs.

Shi Zheng wore a thoughtful expression.

Then she opened her phone.

As expected, a string of notifications came pouring in.

The title of the pinned hot post on the school forum read: [Hard evidence! Campus belle Shi Zheng's true colors exposed! A sea king's ship has capsized: she strung along multiple rich second-generation heirs at once, rented luxury goods to pose as a socialite, and even got a hotel room with an unidentified man last night!]

The post had been published at one in the morning, and the number of replies had already passed a hundred.

[Holy shit! I was wondering how she changed her bags so often. So they were all rented? She really took us all for fools!]

[Hard evidence she's a master of time management! Last week I saw her getting into Young Master Chen's sports car, and yesterday she was eating with Young Master Li. Who's this today?]

[Absolutely disgusting! A lowlife posing as a socialite actually played us all in the palm of her hand. To think I used to like her makes me sick.]

[The hotel in the photos is the one where Young Master Hua and the others held their party last night, right?... Damn, could the man in the photos be Young Master Hua!? That would be just like her, scheming to hook a rich guy.]

[Don't spread rumors about Young Master Hua! How could he possibly be interested in a gold digger like her?!]

[She's pretty, though, to be honest.]

[You bootlicker upstairs, get lost!]

[It's good that she's broke. It's freaking fantastic. I didn't have a chance before, but now I finally have a shot at getting with her.]

[Can a lowlife who keeps up her image by deceiving people get out of our school? School, please expel this morally corrupt student and give everyone a clean campus environment!]

Shi Zheng browsed through everything with an attitude of complete indifference.

The evidence was too thorough, so thorough that it looked as though someone had spent months carefully gathering and preparing it.

Someone wanted to destroy her completely.

Who could it be?

Shi Zheng: System, do you know who exposed the original host's dirt?

The system: [...The original plot didn't specify who it was. Since the author didn't describe them in detail, they should be an unimportant background extra.]

An unimportant... background extra?

Shi Zheng smiled.

Shi Zheng: The person who published the post might be a background extra, but the mastermind definitely couldn't be one.

No matter what, the original host was a crucial character in the original plot. Someone capable of going up against her should be a person of equal standing.

After all, the original host was ultimately defeated by the protagonists working together. System, do you think a background extra is worthy of defeating her?

The system answered without hesitation: [Not worthy. So, host, you suspect this was...]

Just then, the phone rang.

Content warning: the plot is brainless and illogical and contains morally questionable developments. This work caters to my personal kinks; the heroine is not a strong female lead, nor is she a dominant heroine. It mainly involves pulling heaven's favored sons down from their pedestals and then doing this and that to them. Just read it for entertainment, and please go easy on this thin-skinned author. Orz

Important: please read the author's note.
