Bai Zhi had always considered himself a genius.
Since he was a child, his mind was active, and his logic and execution skills were maxed out.
While other children his age were still running around in split-crotch pants, he was already sitting solemnly on the steps, gazing up at the night sky to contemplate the universe and the future.
While other children were playing with mud, molding little figures, or folding paper airplanes, he had taken it upon himself to assemble an AK-47 using wood and various tools.
When other children were merely admiring the poetry of distant lands, he had quietly embarked on a journey without a second thought.
After he had nearly blown up his entire class while mixing reagents during a chemistry experiment, causing his Chemistry Teacher to be hospitalized for a full half-month, the teacher had predicted that the next time he heard news of Bai Zhi after graduation, it would be either in the newspapers or on television.
The former meant prison; the latter meant bringing glory to the country.
During the summer vacation after the Gaokao, because he was mixing dangerous chemical agents at home alone, Bai Zhi accidentally created a bomb and blew himself up. Such sensational news—a provincial Gaokao Top Scorer blowing himself up at home—successfully made it onto both television and newspapers.
--The words of the Chemistry Teacher, who had suffered greatly under Bai Zhi, had become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
However, when Bai Zhi opened his eyes again, he found that he had transmigrated into the body of a person with the same name who had just died suddenly.
"Hmm... slightly more handsome than my original self by a billion points."
Walking over to the Mirror and staring at himself for a long while, Bai Zhi nodded thoughtfully.
This world was similar in environment and background to the one he had previously inhabited, yet there were subtle differences in certain details. Bai Zhi's attitude toward this existence whose body he had occupied—who shared his name—was always calm, though he felt a bit annoyed that someone with the same name as him could be such a loser.
After searching through the memories he had inherited regarding the cause and effect of "Bai Zhi's" sudden death, Bai Zhi felt a sense of frustration at the other's wasted potential. Although he usually held a spectator's attitude toward melodramatic plots, it was clearly hard for him to accept when such drama actually happened to him.
"Bai Zhi," seventeen years old, born in an Orphanage. Believing that "knowledge changes destiny," he had studied diligently since childhood. Relying on scholarships, he eventually succeeded in getting admitted to the best university in Binhai City—Binhai University—with the highest cultural course score.
Counting the past of this "Bai Zhi," it was a textbook rags-to-riches story. In fact, if he had continued to develop along this trend, he would have undoubtedly secured a bright future for himself.
But alas, after entering university, due to his ten-out-of-ten appearance and the added bonus of his Academic Halo, he began to get carried away—and he did so quite thoroughly.
At Binhai University, what he was most famous for was not his grades or his looks, but his history of affairs. In the first semester of his freshman year, he had dated seven girlfriends in total; it was simply enviable... ah, no, it was simply detestable.
Actually, dating isn't inherently wrong, as it's a matter of willing participants. However, this Bai Zhi was an extreme scumbag. Not only did he deceive the girls' feelings, but even worse, he also swindled them out of their money.
Human desire is like a boulder rolling down a mountain; once it starts, it can never be stopped.
"Bai Zhi's" descent was rapid. Being two-faced became second nature to him, and driven by desire, he committed several acts that were intolerable to both gods and men.
For instance, after spending a long time persuading his second girlfriend to go to a hotel with him, he would steal all the money from her wallet while she was in the shower, then pretend to have a stomachache to return to his dormitory and squander it all.
That's right, this "Bai Zhi" had less interest in women than he did in Games. The main reason he chose to date was to find ways to swindle money from these girlfriends to buy various game equipment and top up his accounts.
How could women possibly be more fun than games?!
However, while "Bai Zhi" was a scumbag, he had his limits: he only swindled money and feelings, never bodies. If things had continued this way, it wouldn't have been a major issue. Unfortunately, perhaps because he had become too arrogant, after dumping his seventh girlfriend—who had been supporting his daily expenses by working part-time—without hesitation, he turned his sights toward the Campus Belle.
It wasn't that "Bai Zhi" was drooling over the Campus Belle's beauty, but rather that he was finally tired of playing and wanted to find a rich, pretty, and honest person to marry... Yes, this was the true thought Bai Zhi discovered in the depths of that guy's mind; he was fully committed to the act of being a "kept man."
However, the Campus Belle, who came from a wealthy family and was well-traveled, had long heard of his sordid romantic history and looked at him with utter disdain. But this guy had a hideously thick skin and insisted on pestering her relentlessly.
Things like singing love songs under the Campus Belle's dormitory building or making passionate confessions in public were nothing to this guy, who had long since lost any sense of shame.
...As for what happened next?
After finishing yet another day of pestering the Campus Belle, "Bai Zhi" ran to a nearby Internet Cafe to play games all night, feeling irritable and restless. Then, due to the consecutive all-nighters he had pulled, he fell asleep the moment he returned to his rented room and never woke up, ending his life as an unqualified scumbag.
If he hadn't transmigrated, in a few days, the news reports would likely have mentioned this incident in passing, emphasizing the need to strengthen the management of university students' physical health and quality.
"This guy's rank is too low; he's just pestering a girl."
After finishing his review of "Bai Zhi's" life, Bai Zhi shook his head with great regret.
In terms of relationships, although "Bai Zhi" had seven girlfriends and he himself had been a loner from beginning to end, Bai Zhi still considered himself the other's Senior.
Because in the life he lived before transmigrating, there were actually three girls who had been willing to give their lives for him.
--A!! Whole!! Three!! Of!! Them!!!
When he was in elementary school, a girl was willing to die for him—"If you keep pestering me, I'll really die for you to see!"
When he first experienced the stirrings of love, a girl was willing to wait for him until the next life—"If you want to be my boyfriend, wait for the next life!"
When he was destitute and down on his luck, a girl was willing to go to the Yellow Springs with him—"If you don't pay me back, I'll drag you down to hell with me!"
Look at that—what is a Senior, what is experience!?
This is what a Senior is!!!
