The Transfer Student Who Never Dared to Fight Back

[One heroine] [A slightly frustrating opening] [Then the fun starts]

Guan Tong was once a feared figure at Chun City No. 17 High School. After a bloody accident left him sick of the cycle of violence, he shed his “gang boss” reputation and moved far away to Ping City No. 11 High School, hoping to start over as an ordinary student. But his striking face, which drew admiring glances from girls and jealous looks from boys, and his beautiful deskmate Zuo Yimai made him a target for school bullies. When fists slammed into his back and dirty water was splashed over his uniform, he kept his lips sealed and his hands clenched around his cuffs, swallowing every humiliation as though it were penance.

Then Chen Ye, his former underling, came upon him being shoved into a filthy puddle in an alley. The deadness in the boy's eyes pierced his old friend's heart. One phone call roused their old friend Zhang Xiaofan in Chun City, and currents of trouble soon began flowing into No. 11 High. The mysterious transfer student Liu Nian, driven by a need to “repay her debt,” intervened three times, but Guan Tong firmly pushed her away. Everyone thought the fire in his blood had long since gone cold, unaware that the rusty butterfly knife hidden in his desk drawer was trembling alongside the sketches slipping from between Zuo Yimai's pages. On the paper was the line of his jaw, taut as he shielded her from a splash of flying milk tea.

When a bully's lighter set the edges of those sketches alight, and Zuo Yimai was cornered, Guan Tong finally heard his chains snap. As his bloodied uniform fluttered, headlights from his old crew in Chun City and the new forces at No. 11 High tore through the darkness over the sports field. Amid the uproar, he let out a quiet laugh. This time, he would fight only to protect.

[In the first few chapters, Guan Tong doesn't fight back when he's bullied because of a promise. Later, though, he hits hard, takes over one school after another, and gathers a crew of brothers around him.]
