Summary

If Yun Xiaonuo had Thanos's powers, the person she would most want to wipe out would definitely be her class monitor, Wei Qingyu! She was late only because she stopped to help a junior pick up his textbooks right in front of Wei Qingyu—yet he still recorded a demerit against her without mercy. She wrote out the equation for a problem, but he still gave her a zero on the grounds that her final answer was wrong. Worse still, her eighteenth-birthday coming-of-age celebration was ruined by one of his tattletale phone calls! Boiling with rage, Yun Xiaonuo drew a circle and cursed the class monitor to get lost—but never in her wildest dreams did she expect the wish to actually come true!

Editor's review

This is a youth story set against everyday campus life and told in a light-comedy style. The "grudges" that pile up between Yun Xiaonuo and class monitor Wei Qingyu over demerits, grading, and tattling create the dense humor and relatability of the first half; the "circle-drawing curse" unexpectedly coming true then pushes the story into a turn with a touch of fantasy, making readers wonder what will happen once the wish is granted. The pacing is brisk, the dialogue feels strong, and the character relationships are simple and direct—well suited to reading in fragmented time such as between classes or on a commute. It does not aim for heavy themes; instead, it vividly and tangibly portrays teenagers' small rebellions against rules, authority, and peer relationships, making it suitable for young readers who enjoy campus light comedy and coming-of-age stories.

Who it's for

A good fit for

Teen readers who enjoy campus light comedy and youth coming-of-age stories
Readers who want a light, briskly paced novel to read in fragmented time
Readers interested in "wish-fulfillment" fantasy premises
Readers who enjoy love-hate, bickering-couple dynamics

Not a good fit for

Adult readers who prefer serious literature or in-depth social issues
Readers uninterested in campus themes and fantasy twists

Reading tips

Suitable for reading in segments between classes or on a commute, following the brisk pace without needing to finish in one sitting.
When reading the conflicts between Yun Xiaonuo and Wei Qingyu, pay attention to the groundwork for changes in their relationship; the later twist will be more enjoyable.
If you like the bickering-couple setup in this book, look out for similar campus light comedies to compare and contrast.

FAQ

What age group is this book suitable for?

Based on the material, the story centers on campus life around age eighteen, with light language and comedic plotting, making it more suitable for teenagers and young readers who enjoy campus light comedy. Adult readers who prefer light campus themes can also read it, but should be prepared for the fantasy twist.

Is the story purely campus-based or does it contain fantasy elements?

The story is mainly about campus daily life and character conflict, but after Yun Xiaonuo draws a circle and curses the class monitor to get lost, "the wish actually comes true"—this premise carries an obvious fantasy twist, so it is not a purely realistic campus story.

Will not having read the author's other works affect reading?

The material does not indicate any connection requiring books to be read in order; the story revolves around the campus conflict between Yun Xiaonuo and Wei Qingyu, and should be readable as a standalone without obstacles.
