Bai Zhi had always thought of himself as a genius.
From a young age, his mind had been active, and his logic and ability to act were both maxed out.
While other children his age were still running around in crotchless pants, he had already sat solemnly on the steps, gazing up at the night sky and pondering the universe and the future.
While other children played with mud, molded Villains, and folded paper airplanes, he had assembled an AK-47 himself using wood and all sorts of tools.
While other children longed for poetry and distant places, he quietly set off on a trip at a moment's notice.
After he mixed reagents himself during chemistry lab, nearly blew up the entire class, and sent the Chemistry Teacher to the hospital for a full half month, the Chemistry Teacher declared that the next time he heard news of Bai Zhi after graduation, it would either be in the newspapers or on television.
The former meant going to a Cell; the latter meant bringing glory to the nation.
During the summer vacation after the College Entrance Exam, Bai Zhi had been mixing dangerous chemical agents at home alone when he accidentally made a bomb and blew himself to death. The explosive news of a province's Gaokao Top Scorer blowing himself up at home successfully made it onto television and into the newspapers.
The words once spoken by the Chemistry Teacher, who had suffered greatly at Bai Zhi's hands, had come true.
However, when Bai Zhi opened his eyes again, he found that he had transmigrated into the body of someone in another world who shared his name and had just died suddenly.
"Mm... he's a hundred million times more handsome than the original me."
After walking up to the mirror and staring at his reflection for a while, Bai Zhi nodded thoughtfully.
This world was similar to the one he had lived in before in terms of its setting and background, but there were subtle differences in certain details. Bai Zhi had always been rather calm about the person whose body he had taken over, someone with the same name as him. He was merely a little annoyed that the other person had the same name yet was so useless.
After searching through the memories he had inherited for the cause and circumstances of "Bai Zhi's" sudden death, Bai Zhi felt a deep sense of frustration at his failure. Although he normally treated melodramatic plots as entertaining spectacles to watch, when such melodrama actually happened to him, it was clearly hard for him to accept.
"Bai Zhi," seventeen years old, born in an Orphanage. Believing that knowledge could change fate, he had studied diligently since childhood. Living off scholarships all the way, he had finally entered Binhai City's best university—Binhai University—as the top student in the academic entrance examinations.
Looking over "Bai Zhi's" past, it had been a complete inspirational success story of a grassroots nobody. If things had continued along that trajectory, Bai Zhi would at least have had a fairly promising future.
But after entering university, his looks—which could absolutely be rated a perfect ten—combined with the boost from his Academic Halo, had made him get carried away, and thoroughly so.
At Binhai University, he was most famous not for his grades or his looks, but for his romantic history. In the first semester of his freshman year, he had dated a full seven Girlfriends. It was simply so enviable... ah, no, so detestable.
Actually, having Girlfriends didn't prove anything. After all, it was a matter of mutual consent. But Bai Zhi was also an absolute scumbag. Not only did he deceive other Girls' feelings, he went even further and swindled their money...
Human desire was like a boulder rolling down a mountain. Once it started, it could never stop.
"Bai Zhi" had fallen quickly. Putting on one face in public and another in private came as naturally as breathing to him, and driven by desire, he had done some truly outrageous things.
For example, after spending a long time persuading his second girlfriend to get a room with him, he had waited until she was showering, stolen all the money from her wallet, then pretended to have a stomachache and returned to the Dormitory to spend it lavishly...
That's right. "Bai Zhi" was less interested in women than he was in Games. The main reason he chose to date Girlfriends was to find ways to swindle money from them so he could buy all kinds of Game equipment and top-ups.
How could women possibly be more fun than Games!!
Still, although "Bai Zhi" was a scumbag, he had some limits. He only cheated people out of money and feelings, never their bodies. If things had continued like that, it would have been nothing much. But unfortunately, perhaps because he had become too full of himself, after ruthlessly dumping his seventh girlfriend, who had supported his daily expenses through part-time work, he turned his attention to the Campus Belle.
It wasn't that "Bai Zhi" lusted after the Campus Belle's beauty. He had simply grown tired of playing around and wanted to marry an honest, rich, beautiful woman... Yes, that was the genuine thought Bai Zhi had uncovered in this guy's heart. He had intended to live off a woman to the bitter end.
But the Campus Belle came from a wealthy family and had seen plenty of the world. Having long heard of his trashy romantic history, she was completely disdainful of him. Yet Bai Zhi was shamelessly thick-skinned and relentlessly pestered her.
Singing love songs beneath the Campus Belle's Dormitory building, confessing his love passionately in public while holding a bouquet of flowers—none of that was anything to a guy who had thrown away every last scrap of dignity...
...And after that?
After another day of relentlessly pestering the Campus Belle, "Bai Zhi" ran irritably to a nearby Internet Cafe to pull an all-nighter playing Games. Then, after several consecutive all-nighters, he returned to his rented home yawning nonstop, fell asleep, and never woke up. He died suddenly, ending his life as an unqualified scumbag.
If Bai Zhi hadn't transmigrated over, the news would probably have mentioned the incident a few days later, emphasizing the need to strengthen University Students' physical health management or something...
"This guy's skill level was pathetic. He even had to relentlessly pester a Girl to chase her."
After reviewing "Bai Zhi's" life, Bai Zhi shook his head regretfully.
When it came to relationships, although "Bai Zhi" had dated seven Girlfriends while he himself had remained single from beginning to end, Bai Zhi still felt that he was the other's Senior.
Because in his life before transmigrating, there had once been three Girls willing to give their lives for him.
—A whole!! Whole!! Three!!
When he was in elementary school, there had been a Girl willing to die for him—"If you keep pestering me, I'll really die for you to see!!"
When he first began to understand love, there had been a Girl willing to wait for him until the next life—"You want to be my boyfriend? In your next life!!"
When he had been poor and down on his luck, there had been a Girl willing to go to the Yellow Springs with him—"If you don't pay me back, I'll perish together with you!!"
See that? What was a Senior? What was experience!?
That was what a Senior was!!!
