Back in the white space again, Feng Guang had never felt so excited. As soon as she came to her senses, she shouted, “System, are you there!?”
After a long pause, the System’s voice finally answered, “I’m here.”
The sound of that long-absent voice instantly steadied her heart. She asked, “Where have you been all this time? Why didn’t you show up?”
“System upgrade,” he replied coolly.
Feng Guang’s brow twitched. “You disappeared for all this time just to upgrade, without a word?”
“Mm.”
“Then what about when you told me not to trust Suva? What was that supposed to mean?”
“You’re mistaken. I never said that.”
Feng Guang blinked. “I… remembered wrong?”
“Mm.”
Feng Guang: “…”
This colder-than-usual attitude from the System left her momentarily at a loss for words.
The System continued, “Host currently has forty points.”
“That many? In this world?” She was surprised. If she remembered correctly, up until the last world, she only had twenty-eight points. To suddenly hear that she had twelve more was enough to startle her.
“You’ve stayed in this world longer than usual. Naturally, the points increased accordingly.”
Feng Guang thought about it, then nodded. “That makes sense. Even I don’t really know how long I’ve been here.”
“Draw a script,” the System ordered, not giving her time to think further.
She suddenly felt something was off about the System’s tone, but didn’t have time to dwell on it. Instinctively, she reached out and drew one of the books floating around her. Quickly, she saw the title—The Gangster Prince Fell in Love with Me.
The storyline immediately poured into her mind.
The heroine, Mu Jin, was an ordinary girl from a regular family. But when she turned seventeen, her life took a dramatic turn. Her biological father turned out to be Jin Ming, chairman of the Jin Corporation in City A. She was, in fact, the Jin family’s long-lost daughter. At age three, she had been kidnapped by the family’s enemies and abandoned at an orphanage, later adopted by her foster parents. Jin Ming had searched for her for over a decade before finally finding her.
From then on, Mu Jin’s life underwent a complete transformation. She moved into a grand villa and began living like a true princess. She also transferred into an elite private school in City A.
There, she met the male lead, Gu Lan—the infamous “gangster prince.” At school, he was arrogant, domineering, and lawless. Even the teachers gave him three steps of courtesy, and students scrambled to avoid crossing his path.
So when he encountered someone who not only refused to bow down but even dared to challenge his authority, Gu Lan became intrigued by Mu Jin. That interest naturally grew into love.
Overall, it was a classic enemies-to-lovers high school romance.
The essential trio of tropes was all there: the domineering male lead, the gentle second lead, and the vicious fiancée. Gu Lan’s overbearing personality needed no further elaboration. The fiancée’s role primarily existed to advance the plot, serving as a key obstacle to the main couple’s relationship. And the second male lead? That would be Han Chen—the gentle, handsome, top-of-his-class student council president.
Once the entire plot had settled into her mind, Feng Guang said, “Mission start.”
