Senior Bailin had never liked surprises outside her plans, whether joyful or shocking.

Since Junior Li Ming was her most cherished underclassman, Senior Bailin could’ve simply ordered him to join the Student Council in a key role. It would’ve been effortless—no objections from the council members. After all, he was her protégé, his abilities and achievements plain for all to see.

Forget experience—even some deputy and full department heads in the Student Council couldn’t match Liming’s efficiency. Such monstrous talent! Hadn’t the head of the Life Department spotted Liming’s brilliance immediately, rushing to recruit him on the spot and even bringing it up to Senior Bailin?

But Senior Bailin had a plan. She hadn’t even pinpointed when it began. Its effects were unexpectedly perfect, exceeding her expectations.

Liming hadn’t realized it: the moment he stepped into Qianning High School to start his high school life, he’d already fallen into the intricate web Bai Ling had woven for him. Visible and invisible threads pulled Liming step by step toward Senior Bailin’s side. Unaware of being guided, Liming felt not anger but burning determination.

Just like her former partner, this web ensnared not only Liming but everything around him. Everything was on track—Liming would join the Student Council, using others as stepping stones.

Otherwise, with Liming’s credentials, joining the council wouldn’t be an issue. But filling the long-vacant secretary position beside Senior Bailin? That would spark fierce backlash within the council. Even with her authority, doubts were inevitable. After all, it was under Liming’s watch that the Zhenzhong Student Council had collapsed…

Yes—the secretary seat beside Senior Bailin had stayed empty solely for her dearest Junior Li Ming! No one else in this world deserved to stand by her side! Just as only she deserved to be with her adorable Junior Li Ming!!

So close! Just a few steps—mere steps—and she could touch Junior Li Ming! His unique vanilla-scented hair, that shy, guilt-ridden expression!!

She longed—ached—to keep her underclassman by her side forever.

Senior Bailin’s unhurried steps and captivating figure made her the dazzling star of attention, even in Qianning High School’s plain uniform. Everything around her faded into insignificant backdrop. Bathed in reverent, worshipful gazes, her gentle, tolerant exterior clashed utterly with the turmoil within.

Among the crowd’s admiring stares, she easily spotted the malicious, lustful eyes mixed in.

How boring. Such filthy, pig-like desires didn’t deserve her glance.

Of course—how could swine comprehend her molten, pure love? This precious, soul-shaking devotion!

Loving others brings happiness; surely the beloved will feel that joy someday!

[Junior Li Ming’s vanilla-scented hair is mine. His tender eyes are mine. His tempting lips are mine. All—all, all, all!! Everything about Junior Li Ming is mine!! No one will take him from me…!]

Unlike the cold, fickle world, this possessive love for Liming was terrifying—brighter than diamonds, older than time.

If forced to choose between Liming and the world, Senior Bailin would pick Junior Li Ming without hesitation.

Fine wine needs perfect brewing: strict steps yield exquisite flavor. One misstep ruins the batch.

She couldn’t let momentary impulse break her control over Junior Li Ming. For their beautiful future, she suppressed her erupting emotions.

Otherwise, she might scare him off…

Senior Bailin was brilliant—so sharp some called her inhuman. A fool couldn’t have elevated Qianning High School’s Student Council to such heights in just a year.

How could such a clever girl not notice her own abnormality? Her sincere, all-consuming love seemed like mad obsession to others. That’s why she’d graduated early in junior high.

At such thoughts, a shadow dimmed her heart. If Junior Li Ming knew this side of her, he’d only flee in panic—not love her…

What was this? Senior Bailin knew: others called it yandere.

Yandere came in two types: those broken by love’s weight, and those inherently twisted who grew worse in love.

Clearly, Senior Bailin belonged to the latter—especially after meeting Liming…

Thinking differently from most labeled you insane. What felt normal to Bai Ling seemed extreme and frightening to others.

A wolf among sheep can’t hide forever; its uniqueness always shows.

Senior Bailin knew this. So she disguised herself as a devoted Student Council president—a genius from the start, standing above the rest.

One step ahead: genius. Two steps: madman. Being a genius suited her better.

[After all…]

Basking in students’ respect and awe, Senior Bailin’s flawless image was unshakable.

[After all, being a genius means Junior Li Ming won’t run away at first sight.]

As planned, Junior Li Ming would inevitably grow dependent on her, fall for her, and never leave her side again!!
