After a car accident, Yu Ran became a vegetative patient. Though fully conscious, he could only helplessly watch as a transmigrator used his body to fawn over the academy's F4 in every possible way.
According to the System, his world was a novel, and the transmigrator had to use his body to win over the wealthy, powerful, and highly esteemed F4 before the protagonist uke appeared.
Yu Ran watched coldly as "he" failed to win them over, then tried slashing his wrists to force the aloof, domineering F1 to accept his confession, only to be abandoned outside to fend for himself.
Playing hard to get was easily seen through, earning him nothing but a dismissive "Your acting is pathetic" from the suave, playboy F2.
The gentle yet scheming discipline minister F3 made all his confession letters public. Not only was his reputation ruined, but he also lost his inheritance rights.
Finally, desperate and out of options, he drugged someone, only for the gloomy, obsessive illegitimate son F4 to toss him into an alley, where he nearly lost his virtue.
Faced with this absurd farce, Yu Ran couldn't help laughing.
With a dream start, he'd turned into a complete loser. The System and its carefully selected transmigrator were both useless.
System: [If you think you can do better, go ahead. If you fail to win them over, your fate will be ten thousand times worse!]
Fine. He would.
After taking back his body, Yu Ran was in a great mood. From now on, he would make the rules of the game.
He publicly challenged F1 and reclaimed his rightful position as student council president.
He dumped a mountain of threatening letters on F2 and forced him to apologize.
He mocked F3 to his face, calling all the music he wrote a bunch of self-indulgent whining.
The first time he saw F4, he slapped him across the face. The System, however, kept reporting that their affection levels had risen.
A bunch of mad dogs.
From the aloof, domineering F1 to the gloomy, unhinged F4, at first every one of them treated him as a game to amuse themselves with. A disgraced, utterly defeated castoff of a powerful family, still dreaming of wearing a crown and taking the throne. How entertaining.
Later, they were all driven mad. They schemed and calculated, bowing their heads in submission, all for the chance to earn a glance from him. But no one could stop him from falling for someone else...
Yu Ran's gaze passed over the F4 and settled on the front row of the auditorium, where a man sat with his eyes half closed, untouchable and aloof.
Song Jinyu, F1's uncle. Distinguished and refined, restrained and courteous, he was the true head of the powerful Song family.
He was also the unattainable love Yu Ran had once worshipped from afar, now fallen from his pedestal.
Bonus Scene:
In a deserted corner of an underground garage late at night, Yu Ran narrowed his weary eyes and leaned against the man's shoulder, drenched in sweat.
"Uncle, when did you recognize me?"
Song Jinyu, cold and chaste in the eyes of others, bit his earlobe. His low, husky voice struck his heart, one word at a time.
"At first sight."
"The sky is full of stars, but there is only one moon."
A stunning, flirtatious beauty who's been pent up for far too long x an abstinent, domineering older man
P.S.:
1. Both are virgins! One-on-one romance!
2. Older man, with a six-year age gap.
