Tragic Novel? I'll Turn It Into a Power Trip

When I opened my eyes, I found myself holding an exquisitely wrapped sandwich.Whispers immediately drifted into my ears."Look, Jacob Blake's here again delivering breakfast to Carol.""He seriously has no shame. She already said she doesn't like him, but he still won't give up.""Exactly! Carol and Matt are obviously the perfect couple!"I froze for two seconds before a flood of memories suddenly crashed into my mind.I, the invincible hero of a power-fantasy novel, had actually transmigrated into the role of a pathetic simp side character in a trashy romance novel.Not only had this guy hidden his identity as a wealthy heir because he liked the poor heroine, but he had also willingly let her use his money to play the rich girl while chasing the college heartthrob, Matt Calloway.Back when I was the hero of the power-fantasy story, brainless plots were one thing.But did trashy romance novels not require logic either?As I trashed the plot in my mind, a crisp female voice c

"Breaking News! Carol's Payment Declined. Salesgirl Seizes Her Luxury Bag on the Spot."In the attached photo, Carol was clutching the strap of a Hermès handbag with a livid expression while the sales associate maintained a polite smile, firmly holding down the gift box.Matt stood beside her, looking awkward and embarrassed.I silently counted down in my head.Right as I reached one, Carol's call came through.I declined it.She called again. I rejected it again.Then she turned to WhatsApp. Within seconds, my screen was flooded with a relentless stream of messages."Jacob, did you freeze my supplementary card? What the hell is wrong with you? Turn it back on right now!" she spammed."Everyone's laughing at me! Do you have any idea how humiliating this is for me? Answer the phone!"Even without seeing her, I could tell from the messages that Carol was having a full-blown meltdown.I didn't bother responding. Instead, I casually told the smart home system to play something c

The moment my seven sisters appeared, the students went absolutely wild."No way! Look at the woman in the center! That's Jessica Blake from Blake Corporation, isn't it?""And the one beside her, isn't that the award-winning actress Jenna Blake? I literally watched her new movie yesterday!""And the one in the back! I've seen her in a magazine interview before. Isn't she Professor Ava Blake, the scientist who just won the Ravel Prize in Medicine?"Mr. Gosling's legs nearly gave out on the spot. The arrogance on his face earlier vanished without a trace.He hurried over shakily, asking, "Ms. Aurora, what brings you here?"That was when I finally realized that Aurora was actually one of the college's board members.No wonder she had pulled the original Jacob aside during enrollment and confidently told him, "Jake, do whatever you want at college. If anything happens, I've got your back."And what did he do with that backing? He used it to simp for a woman.I let out another exas

Carol had also sent a message along with the transfer. I could practically feel the fury pouring through the screen."Jacob, just you wait!"I honestly didn't care how she'd scraped together the money. Whether she had sold a kidney or borrowed from loan sharks, it was none of my business.I pulled off a smooth combo move and blocked her without a second thought. For the next week, everything remained unusually peaceful.Then, late one night, a hashtag called #RichKidBully blew up and shot straight to the top of trending.Carol had released a maliciously edited video.In the video, the original Jacob was seen humbly offering her a supplementary card, which she "rejected" several times before finally accepting.The caption said, "Jacob has powerful connections. I didn't dare say no to him."Next came clips of Mr. Gosling groveling to my sisters while berating Carol and Matt. The edit made it look like the college was covering for rich kids.The internet exploded, and everyone wa
