Ideal Mary Sue

Imperial Capital University is a highly inclusive and extremely diverse institution of higher learning, providing opportunities and places for learning and further study for alphas and betas. It also specifically offers many majors for omegas to choose from. Unlike other universities that limit omegas in their choice of majors, Imperial Capital University gives omegas more freedom. Apart from majors like gardening, painting, flower arranging, which have no requirements for omegas, as long as omegas have enough knowledge or ability, they can transfer to their desired major.

Coincidentally, the major in ancient literature is one that requires sufficient knowledge to transfer into.

Su Ning filled out the application form and handed it to the teacher responsible for transferring students between majors.

Ancient literature was the major she had wanted to transfer into, and the ancient literature teaching building was right next door to the research institute where Eli was located. Plus, she now needed a reason to get close to him again…

Su Ning confidently took the transfer exam.

“Not bad, not bad.” The teacher holding her report card chuckled, “It’s been a long time since an omega got such good grades!”

“Congratulations, you scored 60 points, just enough to enter our major!”

60 points???

Su Ning was stunned; those simple character recognition questions, she thought she would score full marks!

“Teacher, may I see the test paper?”

The teacher nodded and handed her the paper, saying, “Your foundation is not bad, but there are some uncommon characters you don’t recognize. However, don’t worry, once you’re in our major, you’ll learn many more ancient characters…”

Looking at the questions marked wrong on the test paper, Su Ning helplessly held her forehead. Right, this is a place that could mistake the character ‘晶’ for ‘日’; how could she possibly score full marks!

(TL: ‘晶’ means ‘crystal’ and ‘日’ means ‘day/sun’)

···

The photos of Su Ning on the Star Network were cleared out overnight.

Eli kept one, staring at the bite mark on her neck in the picture, and pulled out his communicator to send a video call invitation to Robert, who had been wanting to contact him.

Looking at the disheveled appearance of the blond man in a white protective suit on the other side, Eli said directly: “Robert, I’ve approved your research project. Keep going.”

The blond man laughed: “Who made you change your mind?” Saying this, he tousled his hair and added: “Well, it doesn’t matter.”

“Wouldn’t I continue with the research project without your approval anyway?”

Eli sent him a document, saying indifferently: “This is the contract document. As long as you agree, I will provide you with the most advanced instruments and equipment, the most generous project funds, and the highest quality assistants, as long as you tell me all the progress and results of your research…”

···

When Eli walked out of the research institute, he saw a girl in white standing under the green tree next to the ancient literature teaching building. It was the person he had been thinking about these days. She was holding a thin notebook, focusing on reading, her lips moving as if she were silently reading something. When she stumbled over the recitation, she furrowed her brow, frustrated, and tapped her forehead.

Eli walked over and stopped lightly behind her. When he smelled the pheromones of another alpha on her, his eyes chilled for a moment but then returned to normal.

He heard her mutter to herself: “Stupid, stupid! Su Ning, you’re so stupid!”

“You can’t even remember these words, you’re too stupid!”

Eli chuckled and said gently, “Ancient texts are hard to understand, don’t force yourself.”

When Su Ning heard his voice and turned to see him, she covered her mouth in surprise. Her bright and moist eyes dimmed, and she subconsciously touched the back of her neck hidden by her collar. Lowering her eyes, she replied coldly and distantly, “Um… okay, Second Prince, I have something to do, so I’ll go ahead.” She then turned to leave.

Eli reached out and grabbed her wrist, stepping in front of her, and looked into her eyes: “Su Ning, don’t avoid me.”

“Second Prince, you’re overthinking it,” Su Ning said, turning her head and looking away. Her tight lips reflected her inner struggle. Clutching the pages of the book, she closed her eyes, then opened them with a cold look. “I’m not avoiding you, I really have something to do. Second Prince, please let go of me.”

“Su Ning, I won’t let go of you,” Eli said, brushing her messy hair behind her ears and smiling gently. “Unless, you really don’t want to see me.”

Though they were in a corner of the imperial capital university campus, there were many students studying nearby. Aware that people were starting to look their way, Su Ning looked at him, her eyes full of reluctance, sadness, and pleading, like an extreme pain. “Second Prince, can we never see each other again, please?”

“I…” Su Ning hesitated and then said with great difficulty, “I… I really don’t want to see you again!”

“You’re lying.” Eli embraced her, letting her head rest on his chest. He gently laughed: “My heart can feel that you like me. It’s impossible for you not to want to see me.”

“Do you remember? That day at your house, I said I wanted to see you every day, and you said you did too. I was very happy then, happier than I’ve ever been, because I felt your feelings for me were the same as mine…”

“So, Su Ning, don’t say you don’t want to see me again. Even though I know it’s a lie, it still hurts my heart, and it’s painful.”

Su Ning rested in his embrace, moved by his gentle words, but her eyes were fragile and helpless, filled with a hint of inappropriate hope, yet also fearful and insecure. “But, Eli, I’ve already… I’ve already been marked by Luo Ao…”

As she spoke, she quickly added: “Eli, I know you’ll mind, I won’t blame you, and I won’t cling to you. You’re so good and excellent, deserving of someone better… not like me, so stupid I can’t even memorize an article…”

Her voice was self-pitying and full of loss, as if she really believed that he would be disgusted with her and push her away. Su Ning tried to hold back but couldn’t contain the tears welling up in her eyes, sobbing softly: “I won’t cling to you, I’ll give up, I’ll stay far away from you…”

“Don’t say that!” Eli held her tighter, fearful that she would really give up, saying earnestly and sincerely: “I don’t mind, not at all, because it’s not your fault. Luo Ao marked you without your consent, didn’t he?”

Hearing Luo Ao’s name, Su Ning’s body trembled, as if she were terribly afraid of him.

Eli comforted her with a kiss on her forehead, whispering: “I’m not afraid of you clinging to me, just afraid that you want to leave me. As long as you stay by my side, I can ignore anything, give up anything.”

“Trust me, don’t think too much, I will find a way to remove this mark for you…”

Su Ning was stunned, “The mark… can it be removed?”

“Believe me, it can be removed,” Eli smiled gently. “So, you don’t have to force yourself to be with Luo Ao.”

“You can follow your heart’s feelings.”

Eli softly asked, “Su Ning, you want to be with me, right?”

“…Yes.” Su Ning nodded gently.

“In that case, stay by my side without fear of Luo Ao. He can’t do anything to you.”

···

Su Ning boldly and confidently hooked up with Eli.

Ten days is enough for her to get the ring and escape without a trace!

In the last world, Su Ning understood a truth.

She indeed wants freedom, but she was previously limited by her inherent thoughts, thinking that not being controlled by the system is freedom, but now she doesn’t think so. With the system, no one can trap her, and she is not bound by anyone.

She can freely release her nature without bearing the consequences.

How great!

···

At this moment, within the system’s space.

The appearance of three zeros on the screen left the manager frazzled, unable to recover a single bit of love value from three consecutive worlds, yet the detection system showed no errors.

The love value absorbed from each world’s main character is the power supply for the proper functioning of the Mary Sue world. Without this power, there will be extremely severe consequences.

The manager promptly summoned the three seniors of the Mary Sue world.

“As long as you can recover the love value of the main characters from these three worlds, I’ll grant you a thirty-year vacation.”

Mary Sue world’s eldest sister Bai Yi: “No problem!”

Mary Sue world’s second sister Mu Su: “Piece of cake!”

Mary Sue world’s third sister Su Qin: “Can’t do it!”

Su Qin, stared at by three pairs of eyes, unchangingly repeated: “It’s absolutely impossible.”

The manager gritted his teeth, “Sixty years!”

Bai Yi: “If she doesn’t come, I will!”

Mu Su: “I can take on two roles!”

Su Qin: “Even if you change it to six hundred years, it’s impossible.”

The manager dismissed Bai Yi and Mu Su, and asked Su Qin alone: “Tell me, why is it impossible?”

A golden-colored round box appeared in Su Qin’s palm, “Do you remember what used to be in this?”

“This… Is this possibly…” The manager’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“Yes, it’s the highest reward of the Mary Sue world—the Bai Dan.” Su Qin recalled: “More than twenty years ago, I spent hundreds of millions of points to exchange for it and consumed it. I didn’t know I was pregnant at the time. After giving birth, I realized that the Bai Dan was entirely absorbed by that child.”

“That child is Su Ning, born to stand out. You can say, she is the Bai Dan.”

“Bai Dan is the collective embodiment of all men’s desires, and no man can resist her charm.”

“I left her in a modern world, but I didn’t expect the system to find her and take her to do tasks. She is indeed an outstanding host, but…”

“Once the love value is obtained by her, the system shouldn’t expect to get a share.”

“Unless…”

The manager urgently asked: “Unless what?”

“Abandon a world, and confine her there forever.”

···

The study tasks of the classical literature major were much heavier than her previous ones in the ‘tea art’ major, but comparatively, Eli was much busier, seemingly because of new progress in a research project at the institute.

Even when he took the time to accompany her, he was constantly reviewing various documents and materials.

Su Ning’s eyelids were fluttering, and the classical literature book in her hand was thrown aside at some unknown time. She lay on Eli like a koala, rubbed against his clothes, yawned, and closed her eyes to sleep.

Eli reached for the “fur” blanket that had been prepared nearby, draped it over her, and wrapped her into a “fur” ball, leaving only her face exposed.

Although Luo Ao’s pheromone scent was very present, Eli could now directly ignore it, unlike before when he cared so much about it. That’s because Robert’s research was about to yield results. By then, this annoying smell would disappear without a trace, to be replaced by his own pheromones.

···

The day before the Imperial OA Exchange Conference, Eli took her to the research institute.

Su Ning was nervous and uneasy, looking at the surrounding pure white walls, and couldn’t help but clutch Eli’s hand tightly.

“Eli, this place is scary…”

“Don’t be afraid.” Eli soothingly clasped her hand in return and said with a gentle smile, “Today, you’ll be completely rid of Luo Ao.”

Eli’s smile seemed to have a calming effect, and Su Ning miraculously calmed down, following his instructions to sit on the white bed.

Did he really think she knew nothing?

Su Ning revealed a gentle smile to him, saying, “Great, Eli, after removing Luo Ao’s mark, can I be your omega?”

Eli took her hand, knelt halfway, and kissed the back of her hand, solemnly and sincerely saying, “Yes.”

Speaking, he took off the ruby ring from his thumb and handed it to her, “This is yours from now on.”

Holding the ruby ring and hearing the system broadcast the increase in points, Su Ning smiled with emotion.

Eli injected an unknown red liquid into her veins, like a fire, scorching her blood vessels.

An omega temporarily marked would be gradually transformed to suit the alpha who marked her, so that when the mating period came, only that alpha’s permanent mark could be accepted.

This tube of liquid could make the omega enter the mating period directly, during which anyone could permanently mark her.

What Eli had to do was to completely cover Luo Ao’s scent with his own pheromones.

Seeing her face unnaturally flushed, lying on the white bed, tightly gripping the sheets, breathing lightly, her eyes lost and dazed, looking at him, “Eli, I feel uncomfortable…”
