A Guide to Passing as an A While Pretending to Be an O

[Tough-talking, insecure avoidant-type beauty-in-distress bottom × pure-hearted, lovesick, flirtatious top who failed to turn evil]

Fang Ji is the top student at the Alliance's First Military Academy. He attends classes, goes home, and carries out assassination missions against his targets, all according to schedule.

Yes, he also happens to be an assassin for an anti-Alliance organization.

Fang Ji: I have to make ends meet. It never hurts to have another skill, right? Who doesn't have a side job?

That's right, he's a college senior with years of assassination experience (not really).

But Fang Ji isn't loyal to the organization. His real goal is to uncover the truth behind the tragedy in his hometown and get revenge.

To achieve that, Fang Ji rises from an ordinary military academy student to the governor of an entire star sector.

Throughout it all, he sticks to the principle of being lenient with himself and strict with others. By all rights, everyone should be keeping their distance from him.

So why are all these people rushing over to him, squealing and clingy as can be?!

An ordinary friend from military school: "Wherever you go, I'm going too!"

Someone who once framed him: "If I tell you this secret intelligence, could you maybe... forgive me a little?"

A mentor from the organization who once used him: "I'll hold off the organization's pursuit. Go. Let this be the last thing I do for you."

A bunch of subordinates who cried their eyes out when he was injured: "We can't live without you, sob sob..."

And then there's...

His former nemesis, now clingy partner, Luo Feixing, protesting indignantly:

"You haven't paid attention to me for a whole hour today!"

A vein jumps in Fang Ji's forehead. "Why don't you open your eyes and look at the tentacles wrapped all over me? That's you too!!!"

---Blurb for the upcoming novel, After the Fake Young Master Returns from an Infinite-Flow Game---

The two children of the wealthy Lin family are well known to the public for their achievements:

Their son became a rising star in business at a young age, while their daughter is a popular actress who has already won prestigious awards.

Few people know that the Lin family has another child, an unremarkable and dull eldest son named Lin Xu.

Lin Xu is nowhere near as outstanding as his younger siblings, and his parents are always sighing over him.

But all that came to an abrupt end when he was discovered to be a fake young master, because Lin Xu's life ended that very day.

No one knows that on the rainy night he was driven out of the house, Lin Xu was pulled into an infinite-flow game. After enduring countless hardships, he finally cleared it and returned to reality as he had hoped.

When Lin Xu, battered from head to toe, opened his eyes, he saw four unfamiliar faces.

They claimed to be his family.

The price of escaping the infinite-flow game was that he lost all his memories of his family.

The Lin family never expected that Lin Xu, who used to greet everyone with a gentle smile and forgive every mistake, would now be sensitive, easily startled, and murderous, like an injured wildcat.

But even though Lin Xu had forgotten them, the Lin family still felt that Heaven had given them another chance.

Everyone was waiting to see Lin Xu make a fool of himself, but what happened left them dumbfounded:

The Lin parents held a special banquet to celebrate their eldest son's safe return, announcing in front of everyone that they would give Lin Xu 50% of the Lin Group's shares.

Soon after, someone photographed the ruthless, cold-blooded business prodigy speaking gently as he helped Lin Xu out of a car.

The proud, aloof actress, a household name, publicly denounced the vicious online attacks for the first time to defend her older brother, Lin Xu.

Only then did outsiders come to their senses. Though Lin Xu was an ordinary fake young master, the Lin family still cherished him like a treasure.

At some point, an infinite-flow game called The Ninth Day appeared in the real world.

To protect themselves, people began studying the game and noticed something strange: the ID of the player ranked No. 1 on the leaderboard was gray.

When the entire city was dragged into the terrifying A-rank instance, Bewitching Marsh, and everyone waited in despair to die, someone stood in the street and waved. The dense fog covering the sky suddenly vanished.

When the light returned, everyone saw that the person was the Lin family's fake young master.

The game System's voice rang in everyone's ears: "A-rank instance cleared. Congratulations, player [Lin Xu], on your return! Your current ranking is No. 1. Keep it up!"

At last, the No. 1 ID on the leaderboard lit up.

Everyone, unable to believe it: "You're saying that ordinary, unremarkable Lin Xu is the No. 1 player in the infinite-flow game?"

Lin Xu's younger siblings, shocked and heartbroken: "You're saying our big brother, who's so afraid of the dark that he needs someone beside him to fall asleep, is that amazing?"

Elsewhere, in another instance, He Zhen was instantly fired up. He punched a monster to the ground and declared triumphantly, "Honey, I'm coming to find you!"

Tough on the outside, soft on the inside beauty-in-distress bottom (Lin Xu) × handsome, self-obsessed, lovesick top (He Zhen)

The top and bottom were teammates who relied on each other in the infinite-flow game, and their relationship has the feel of an old married couple.
