   Looks so good! [Dual male leads + transmigration + sweet romance + clean romance + classic + brainless + aristocratic academy] [Calm and deliberately flirtatious transmigrated second male lead (shou) x seemingly straight but actually easily gay male lead (gong)] Shi Yu transmigrated into a classic Mary Sue novel as the devoted second male lead. The original owner was the childhood sweetheart of the male lead, Pei Xuyan, with a noble status and superior family background, and should have been a chosen one. Unfortunately, to highlight the female lead's charm, the author forcibly lowered his intelligence, turning him into a tool that was always at her beck and call. He was the first to rush to her aid when she was in trouble, he was her emotional dumping ground when she argued, and he silently disappeared when she made up, mainly playing the role of someone to be used and discarded without complaint. But then Shi Yu arrived. Forget the devoted second male lead, forget the silent protection—he's all going to shine alone! But as soon as he transmigrated, he realized something was off. Why did the male and female leads act like enemies? Could these two really end up falling for each other out of nowhere? Even more strange was… why was this male lead treating him better than the female lead? Staring at Pei Xuyan's ridiculously handsome face, Shi Yu had a bold idea. Since he wasn't exactly straight anyway, why not… test the waters? Who would have thought that after accidentally drinking some unknown beverage at a party, his simple attack would send the opponent instantly teleporting to Jiaotong University. The next day, unable to get out of bed, Shi Yu crawled around in the shadows under the covers. What kind of straight male lead turns gay with just one flirtation?!
