Xie Zhuoyin was a senior at Dadu University and also served as president of the student council. Unlike the universities Neng Yunhuan knew from her previous life, Dadu University held a unique status in society—half its ownership belonged to the Chinese government while the other half was controlled by an elite board of directors composed of powerful figures.

Though these directors technically possessed authority, most of the university's operations fell under national jurisdiction. As such, they rarely appeared on campus except during special events and seldom interfered with academic affairs. Their primary role wasn't administrative oversight but symbolic mentorship, funding substantial contributions to maintain the institution. This financial commitment earned them immense prestige among students who regarded these board members as benefactors even after graduation.

Despite their limited real power, the directors' influence remained formidable due to their wealth and social standing. Offending one would risk provoking the wrath of Dadu University's extensive alumni network spread across various industries, making it unwise for many wealthy individuals to pursue board membership aggressively.

Xie Zhuoyin's father Xie Xu occupied a seat on this influential board, granting him unparalleled visibility at Dadu University. However, his reputation transcended mere connections—his striking appearance and notorious charm set him apart from other privileged students. At around 180cm tall with an athletic build, he often lounged near classrooms wearing that signature smirk which hinted at both mischief and danger.

Over four years on campus, Xie Zhuoyin had cycled through romantic partners faster than fashion-conscious girls changed wardrobes. This pattern created a peculiar hierarchy among female students where being his girlfriend conferred social validation of one's beauty. Many women, drawn by his good looks and prestigious background, willingly threw themselves at him despite knowing about his reputation.

Currently leaning against a column outside the classroom with hands casually in pockets, his presence stirred mixed reactions—jealousy from male classmates and fluttering excitement among female students. The teaching assistant on stage struggled to maintain composure as well, her thoughts drifting toward similar fantasies.

"Xie Zhuoyin just broke up with Wang Meiren from sophomore year," someone whispered. Xie's pattern of short-lived relationships had even prompted some to rank his ex-girlfriends according to how quickly he discarded them, with the current one having lasted only three weeks before ending abruptly.

Ning Yunhuan averted her gaze after catching sight of him through the window, her brow furrowing in displeasure. Unlike those captivated female students, she felt no romantic interest—having witnessed countless encounters between Xie Zhuoyin and his second lover Gu Yingxi from a previous life. What should have been an ordinary relationship transformed into a melodramatic saga where he initially abused then eventually became obsessively devoted to the heroine.

As Neng Yunhuan's memories replayed this tragic romance, she instinctively felt someone watching her. The uncomfortable sensation made her instinctively check her phone and send off a message before realizing what she'd done.
