Wen Qian recently started playing a casual campus-themed RPG game, simply called School Simulator.
After pulling an all-nighter playing games and suddenly dying from overexertion, Wen Qian opened her eyes to find herself actually inside the game world.
Looking up, she saw the school name gleaming in gold—Saint Thorn Royal Academy.
Looking down, she saw her school uniform washed so many times it had faded, along with a student ID marked with a red stamp indicating poverty.
Wen Qian, already anticipating the countless bullying—resistance—campus prince—campus princess storylines ahead, showed no expression.
Well, it’s come to this; better summon a cheat code first.
Her eyes firm, Wen Qian thought: So what if I’m a poor student? I will defy fate and change my destiny—being poor is just my starting point!

[Congratulations, you have reached level 5, pre-profession module unlocked]
[Your drawn profession is—Beggar]
Wen Qian’s status suddenly plummeted; she silently accepted it. A normal daily RPG game turns into a beggar’s survival guide for her, huh?
No one told her that “defying fate” could also go backward like this, sob sob… Can I go back to being just a poor student?
Love what you do—Wen Qian vowed to once again change her destiny.
Step one of defying fate—dig through the trash bins!
Classmate A: “What is she doing?”
Classmate B: “Probably beating up the trash can…”
Wen Qian: “Not beating, this is a cutscene.”
Wen Qian’s diligent figure could be seen everywhere on campus. No matter who you are, if you are in trouble, she will be the first to appear by your side.
When someone asked why she was so keen on doing good deeds,
Student Wen said: As a player, when you see someone with an exclamation mark (!) above their head, you do the same as I do.
Finally, Wen Qian’s days started to look hopeful.
Meanwhile, her long-offline voice assistant came back online.
[Honey, how’s the progress on the romance routes?]
Wen Qian: “?”
Wait, no one told me I had to do romance routes in this game!
