She’s a Passerby, But Can See the Protagonist’s Halo Novel

Yan has always seen unusual things. As a child, she grew up overshadowed by her genius neighbors, their "precious little geniuses" with halos, constantly triggering comparisons that made her life feel tragic. To escape this, she attended a private boarding school. There, her deskmate, a quiet girl, later woke up with a "rebirth" halo and effortlessly navigated various social circles, leaving Yan in awe as a lone observer. By university, Yan hoped for normalcy, only to find her dorm filled with roommates sporting halos like "ancient times to modern," "post-apocalyptic superhuman," "will die if not spending money," and "ghost king revival." Despite her failed attempts to change rooms, Yan adapted. As different halo types like "handover systems" and "interstellar live streams" appeared, she learned to ignore them and focus on her own life. She now assists her varied roommates daily, from helping one avoid paparazzi to tasting her tycoon roommate's luxury hauls, and inquiring if her ghost king roommate returned with anything. Yan acknowledges she is merely a passerby in this world, not its protagonist.
