A laid-back, unflappable cat girl x the military academy's rabid dogs
When Xiang Nian opened her eyes again, she was no longer on an interstellar battlefield reduced to rubble, surrounded by the disgusting remains of the Zerg.
The good news: This place was peaceful, with no wars.
The bad news: She had been reborn as a delicate, provocatively dressed Omega influencer.
The bad news: Her son-obsessed parents had packed her off to military academy to serve in place of her twin brother.
The horror story: It was the Federation's top all-male military academy.
Xiang Nian, Federation big shot: No more grinding. I'll lie flat and become a provocative influencer.

Saint Ihes Federation's First Men's Military Academy was a talent pipeline directly under the Federation's military command.
From the outside, its students might all look like uniformed brutes, with wealthy and powerful families behind them, but they were still devoted to the Federation.
Their noble character was truly admirable.
Otherwise, why would they give up comfortable, easy lives to suffer in a place known as an "inhuman hell"?

"New here? You're Xiang Chen?"
A wild, fiercely predatory gaze fell on Xiang Nian.
"You're so small and weak, just like an O."
"Are you an A?"
At the feet of her four roommates lay a mangled heap of flesh. The whole scene was sickeningly gruesome.
Without batting an eye, Xiang Nian carried her luggage into the dorm.
Before she came, someone had told her that all four roommates came from families of Federation generals. They were powerful and influential, and at Saint Ihes they could make clouds with one hand and rain with the other.
No one at Saint Ihes dared offend them.
So the first rule of the military academy survival guide was to stay far away from them.
Xiang Nian sighed and carried her suitcase to the bed. When she looked up, she saw her four roommates wiping the blood from their hands and closing in on her with smiles.
Xiang Nian thought for a moment, then handed them the things from her suitcase.
"Oh, are you going to help me unpack?"
"Thanks so much. You're all so nice."

Jem admired the newcomer named Xiang Chen.
He looked small and skinny, but in every training session and live exercise, he trounced everyone.
That night, Jem worked up the courage to ask him for advice, only to see one of his roommates lead him away.
Jem followed and secretly watched.
Through the blur of light and shadow, he saw "Xiang Chen" tug the young man's tie and kiss him.
Then came a sharp slap.
"What does it have to do with you whether I drop out? The other three can behave themselves, so why are you making trouble?"
"Know your place. Don't push your luck."
In the still of the night, with his heart pounding, Jem dared another glance:
The young man, usually arrogant beyond belief and utterly ruthless, was now kissing "Xiang Chen's" palm fervently, his eyes hazy.
"Does your hand hurt?"
"But, baby, those other three are being so naughty."
Xiang Nian narrowed her eyes and looked ahead.
In the darkness, three silent figures loomed like snakes about to strike, frantically flicking their tongues.
Xiang Nian thought it over.
Uh, did I... take things too far?
