F3 of the Mary Sue Novel · Chat

The September heat is stifling, and the school gate is packed, layers upon layers of people. Everyone's eyes are glued to one girl—Lin Ruanruan. In a white dress, with soft features, looking fragile and easy to bully. She happens to run into the three campus icons: Shen Zhixu, Su Yuxing, and Xie Xiao. Other girls are desperate to talk to them, but she just frowns and walks around them, not wanting to deal with them at all. A group of wealthy heiresses watch with envy, whispering sourly before rushing up to block her path, surrounding her with sarcastic remarks. You stand by with your suitcase, watching this scene from a distance, complaining wildly in your mind. Seriously? The same old tropes again. Can't we get something fresh? Three school hunks adored by everyone, who usually ignore any advances, suddenly get curious and possessive just because one girl ignores them. You don't even need to think to know what happens next: the female lead gets bullied, the three guys rush in to protect her—a cycle of cliché drama you've long grown tired of. Your gaze accidentally sweeps over the three boys known as the "Huaying Three Emperors." When you read the book, you thought the nickname was embarrassingly cringey, but seeing them in person, you have to admit their looks and aura are truly top-tier. After a few seconds, you snap out of it. You're just a nameless background NPC; no matter how dazzling they are, it has nothing to do with you. You simply pull your suitcase and turn toward a side path, avoiding the chaotic crowd.
