Zhao Youyue could not help but feel a tinge of disappointment . It was already such a crucial point, and he was still talking about literature . She was not forming a society for fun - she had a motive, and that was to slip into the student council, earn the t.i.tle of Deputy Minister, then gain the rights to vote in the Student Council president voting . It was all part of her plan to step into a higher realm . Once she becomes the Student Council President, she would gain the rights and power to do as she wished .

No matter what, Han Leng was still her old cla.s.smate . He did not seem overtly keen on getting close to her, but at the very least, he was still loyal to her faction, which would have to suffice . With Han Leng's talent, becoming the Deputy Head of the Advertising Department would not be too far-fetched an idea . He was almost unbeatable when it came to the pen . He would boost their standing on no time at all .

Han Leng's reputation alone would be enough to qualify for a dedicated column in the school magazine . Who cares about the content when sales would rocket up with a casual slide across the paper with his pen and a few hundred words .

Zhao Youyue was already almost treating herself as the Student Council President . She was working to surround herself with her trusted cohorts and lieutenants . She was convinced that such a mindset would constant remind herself of her l.u.s.t for that spot . An instance of complacency might just be enough to make her forget her goals .

Considering the positions that Lady Zhao had once chaired or was still chairing, even the top inst.i.tute's Student Council President position would not matter much to her . It was nothing compared to her moviemaking studio, it was nothing to what her "Two Dimensional Gate" could ever provide . She may not yet have access to certain resources as she had yet to obtain a governess' character card, but that was just a matter of time .

Zhao Youyue was not born a genius . Even if she gave her maximum effort, she would not have amounted to much . Without her "Two Dimensional Gate," she might have truly ended up as a boring old Milady throughout her entire life .

Of course, others may think that being a Milady was enough of an achievement, but Zhao Youyue was a prideful one . She wanted to stand with her own two legs, minus her connections . Those underhanded methods were too shameful . She intended to continue working with her own strength and prove her worth .

The past Zhao Youyue might have lacked the initiative and means of doing so . Her helplessness only contributed to her past self's solitary coldness . As her proficiency over the "Two Dimensional Gate" grew, her very being was reformed, remolded . Now provided with the means, she could begin her conquest and claim her spot above others .

Zhao Youyue had the mind of a monarch, but she was no tyrant . She was somewhat in the same vein as a Yin King [1] . She used her calm, warm voice to instill an inexplicable sense of compliance and obedience to her subjects . They would obey without a question, and the thought of hesitating would not even cross their minds .

Zhao Youyue had moved on to her new stage . The play was just beginning . She led Han Leng to the lone corner on the 3rd floor of a certain library . Maybe it was due to the school opening just recently, or maybe because it was noon . Either way, the library was almost completely empty .

When exam periods draw closer, that library would turn into a warzone . When it came to the library of Jiangnan University, lines might spill to the outside entrance . At that time, phrases like "Have you seen the rising sun at Jiangnan University?" would be irrelevant, but that was how hardworking students or crammers lived .

Zhao Youyue leaned back against a bookshelf, folding her arms across her chest . She gazed at Han Leng, but did not immediately start speaking . The tense silence only made her seem more authoritative than ever .

Han Leng had always been extremely uncomfortable whenever he got alone with Lady Zhao . The empty library left him no one else to turn to, no distractions to relief his mind . An empty, cold, silent library may seem romantic to some, but he made no move on her . It did not make him the gentleman, but rather, a well-behaved primary school student .

A braver man might just go for a kabe-don [2] . It sure sounds exciting to kabe-don a Milady .

Looking at how proud and confident the Milady was, the experience would be entirely different . It would only work if the one doing the kabe-don actually surpa.s.sed her standing and status .

But didn't some guys love the crus.h.i.+ng sensation of servility beneath a girl? They would be the n.o.ble knight serving a queen, wouldn't they?

In the end, delusions would remain as delusions . Zhao Youyue knew very well that Han Leng was not that sort of guy, so she had no qualms about meeting him in such a manner . If it was someone else, she would have had her guard up, as if she was dealing with Cao Chuanguang, and there was no way she would agree to it . She might just find the mercy in her heart to not set her entire team of bodyguards on that man like a pack of wolves - but she would definitely bring her cane along .

Lady Zhao was one who treated the honest and the obedient appropriately . If the honest and obedient had talent to add on to his already favorable traits, she might even praise him . If he becomes an irreplaceable a.s.set, she would not hesitate to shower him with rewards .

She was different, compared to those who treated honest people as spare tires . Such girls only knew how to ask and ask, taking full advantage of the meek and honest . They would wear them out, tie them down until they had nothing left to give, before leaving them to waste away .

Han Leng was already trembling in fear . He was starting to regret asking her out . In reality, he was just spouting bulls.h.i.+t that he heard from Zhang Xiang who had grown rather close to him . Zhang Xiang had tried to try to get Han Leng to join the literature club by raising the possibility of his popularity serving as the catalyst to forming a harem out of those female members .

After all, literature club members had to be into literature, and Han Leng was a famous writer . He would be their ideal cup of tea .

Guys were efficient producers of nonsense . When you pair them up together with their own kind, you would see the greatest form of teamwork mankind could ever witness - an unG.o.dly amount of nonsense would spread around - and the main topic would undoubtedly be about girls . Han Leng was a stranger to picking up girls - but he was just as capable as the next guy when it came to spouting nonsense about hitting on girls or getting some girls into literature for him, etc .

Due to this, Han Leng had habitually spouted a whole bunch of nonsense in front of Milady, only to finally notice that his 3 seconds of coolness had just gotten himself into a load of trouble . He would soon receive Milady's wrath if he did not shut up .

Just when Han Leng could not take it anymore and was about to break down from his cool, arrogant composure, Zhao Youyue spoke up . She went straight to the point . "I want to be the student council president, and I'm offering you the chance to become a powerful figure yourself, second to only me . "

Han Leng was fl.u.s.tered . If she wanted to join the student council, why the heck open her own club?

That was when Zhao Youyue laid out her plan to Han Leng . Upon hearing her plan, he was fl.u.s.tered in an entirely different direction . "That actually works?!"

Translation Notes:

[1] Yin King: "Yin w.a.n.g" can be translated to "a king with virtue," yet it might also be a reference to the web novel series "賢王"

[2] Kabe-Don: 壁ドン, the action of slapping a wall fiercely, which produces the sound "don . " Often appears in shoujo manga and anime when a man forces a woman against the wall with one hand or leans against the wall and makes the sound of "don," and this has become popular as a "clever move of confession . "
