Zhou Yu is famous in the shantytown, mostly because of his face.
Arrogant and dazzling, like a raging wildfire, he makes people want to sneak a second look even when they know he has a terrible personality and is unbearably vain.
So after winning a full scholarship to an elite academy, Zhou Yu immediately set himself a modest goal:
Within a month, find a few suckers willing to go through hell for him, then make it through the year in one piece.
The plan went smoothly.
In the morning, he was the student council president's most capable assistant, sweetly calling him "Senior."
In the afternoon, he was the basketball team captain's most promising new player, slapping hands and laughing with abandon on the court.
At night, he was the school bully's newly claimed "kindred spirit," hanging out at bars and drinking while they talked about life.
Looking at the Alpha who was devoted to him, Zhou Yu thought he was a genius. He felt completely secure.
The only problem was that those three suckers seemed to be getting stranger and stranger. The greedy, lecherous way they looked at him was impossible to hide.
Especially the most arrogant school bully, Lu Jinye.
He looked at Zhou Yu as if he wanted to swallow him whole.
Zhou Yu decided to cut through the mess quickly.
He sought out the school bully's uncle, who was supposedly the only person capable of keeping him in line: Lu Huaixu, head of the Lu Group.
The uncle had always been courteous and gentle with him, and Zhou Yu considered him a "reliable elder."
In an empty room, relying on their modest acquaintance, Zhou Yu complained with righteous indignation:
"Mr. Lu, could you please do something about your nephew? He keeps looking at me in this weird way! Didn't he say we were friends?"
The composed, elegant man on the sofa gave a low laugh and looked up at him.
His gaze was dark and teasing. Zhou Yu suddenly found it familiar: it was exactly the way Lu Jinye looked at him.
"What standing would I have to stop him from doing that?" Lu Huaixu rose unhurriedly and walked toward him.
Zhou Yu froze in place. Only when the man's tall figure loomed over him, bending close until their breaths mingled, did he finally react.
"That he can't hurt his 'friend' without permission?"
The man paused, a dangerous curve appearing at the corner of his lips.
"Or that he can't... overstep his station and bully his own 'little uncle's wife'?"
Zhou Yu: ???
Wait, whose uncle's wife am I supposed to be?!
P.S. This novel may include pregnancy or coercive romance. Then again, it might not. I haven't decided yet. ^O^
