Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!-Chapter 564 - 263: Yes, It’s Me_2

Usually, no one cares much about how old the authors of the novels they read are, but because of the author of this novel, there are too many legends. One moment people say the author is eighteen years old, the next they say forty, and some even say the author is a woman, which greatly piques everyone's curiosity.

The boys at the back are talking excitedly while the girls at the front are listening in a bit of a haze.

The main reason is that they vaguely heard Gu Yaoyao's name.

"Yaoyao, it seems like they're talking about you," Li Jing said.

"I heard it too, it seems like they're comparing Yaoyao with the novel's female protagonist," Ma Tian said.

"What novel?" Gu Yaoyao was curious.

"It seems to be called 'Unwilling to Reincarnate'?"

"That's right, it's 'Unwilling to Reincarnate'; it's really popular. I heard it made a million last month!"

"Really? As if!" Liu Yue perked up when she heard it made over a million, and then she heard from Ma Tian that the author was about our age.

Liu Yue couldn't help but ask, "I wonder if he's handsome?"

"If he's handsome, let him teach me how to write novels," Liu Yue said with a cheeky grin.

Ma Tian couldn't help but roll her eyes: "With his knack for making money and good looks, do you think he'd be interested in you?"

Liu Yue was just joking around; she's like the class clown in the dorm, always good-natured about the jokes others make about her, and sometimes even pokes fun at herself.

Ma Tian heard about it from a guy she's close with; he also said the novel's author was having an interview tonight at eight, so Liu Yue suggested they could check it out.

With the help of the novel website, the attention to the novel indeed increased a lot. Just halfway through December, Zhou Yuwen's manuscript fees had already exceeded a million, and it was estimated that without counting donations, monthly manuscript fees alone could exceed three million.

The boys at school were basically talking about it; even if they didn't read the novel, they would use its male protagonist to describe a girl.

For instance, if a girl was particularly gentle and well-behaved, the boys would say she's Shen Xiaoyu.

Yes, the very Shen Xiaoyu from the novel!

Girls, however, were baffled by this nickname, going online to search and only then realizing they were talking about the novel's female protagonist.

Take Shen Yu, for example, who today during rehearsals for the New Year's Eve party at the auditorium, was inexplicably confessed to by a sophomore student.

For a pretty and well-mannered girl like Shen Yu to be confessed to by a boy who has a crush on her is a common occurrence. The boy holding the roses suddenly rushed in front of Shen Yu and said, "Shen Yu, please give me a chance!"

Initially, Shen Yu was just stunned, but then quickly came to her senses, "First of all, I appreciate your feelings, but I'm sorry, I really have no plans to date in college."

The boy looked a bit disappointed upon hearing this and wouldn't give up, saying, "Can't we even be friends?"

"I don't make friends with the opposite sex, sorry," Shen Yu said kindly, smiling.

The boy's confession was quite a spectacle, with quite a few students cheering him on, even calling Shen Yu his 'white moonlight,' and likening her to Shen Xiaoyu from the novel.

Shen Yu was puzzled, thinking to herself, who is Shen Xiaoyu?

"It's from a popular male-targeted novel recently," a female classmate working with Shen Yu in the student council explained.

The boy who confessed to Shen Yu was also an outstanding member of the student council, set to take over as Acting Head of the Organization Department next semester, if all went as expected.

In other students' eyes, he and Shen Yu were meant for each other.

It was baffling why Shen Yu would reject him.

The reason Shen Yu gave was that the other person couldn't give her a sense of security.

"I don't know how to describe this feeling," Shen Yu said upon returning to the dormitory.

Some girls from the next dorm, obviously having taken the boys' side, relentlessly spoke in his favor, even following Shen Yu back to her dorm.

They said, "Please, Shen Yu, we're only seventeen or eighteen, talking about this sense of security is too much for us, isn't it? If Department Head Liu isn't secure enough, then who do you think in our school is?"

Shen Yu just smiled and didn't say anything, still maintaining that she really hadn't considered dating in college.

But out of respect for the other party, Shen Yu still searched for the female protagonist mentioned.

The conclusion was: "Look, he actually doesn't understand me. According to Baidu, this female character has some social anxiety and is timid, which clearly means he has idealized me too much."

The girls also looked at the summary with Shen Yu, who had opened up Baidu Encyclopedia. After reading it, they all laughed, saying it was typical of a male-targeted novel, written too presumptuously.

"What kind of girl would be like this?"

"Exactly, and so devotedly considerate of the male lead, it's way too patriarchal," they said.

The girls, in their back-and-forth critique of the novel's female characters, concluded that the male fantasy was overdone.

How could several girls all revolve around the male protagonist?

"Did I hear the novel's author makes several millions in a month?"

"Is it true, are novels that lucrative now?"

"I always feel like if I wrote it, I could do it too."

As Shen Yu was browsing through the novel's information, she was unimpressed by what the other girls were saying. While she searched for the novel, a slew of Baidu entries popped up, such as last month's manuscript fees breaking two million!
