After My Wealthy Father Claimed Me, I Became a Special Admit

A story about a handsome bad boy who throws his weight around and whips a school for the elite into shape.

During the summer break before his second year of high school, Shan Yang, who attended a high school in a small town, suddenly gained a rich father. After officially being claimed as his son, his new father sent him to an elite high school in an international metropolis.

Shan Yang didn't want to flaunt a rich second-generation identity, so he kept his name and background secret. He aced the special admissions exam and quietly enrolled as a scholarship student.

All he wanted was to keep his head down, coast through school, and get into the university of his choice.

But things didn't go as planned. After enrolling, all kinds of strange people kept appearing around Shan Yang.

Rich kids who looked down on him for being a scholarship student, a conglomerate heir trying to rally the whole school to ostracize him, the son of the richest man in the country trying to hire him as a scapegoat and leave evidence behind, the student council president deliberately blocking his scholarship...

Shan Yang had originally planned to mind his own business, but he had no choice. He cracked his knuckles and looked at the people provoking him. "Tch. What a pain."

He hadn't wanted to reveal the nickname he'd earned at his old school: The Town's Top Tough Guy.

Shan Yang's father was always worried that his son would be bullied at the international school while keeping his identity secret. He often called to ask how things were going, saying that if necessary, he could just buy the school and put it in his son's name.

On the other end of the call, Shan Yang sounded like he was talking to a classmate. Amid the noise, he casually told his father, "It's fine. Don't worry."

But just before he hung up, the phone picked up Shan Yang's voice turning cool and flippant, followed by two crisp smacks against someone's face:

"You gonna try that again? Hmm?"

Shan Yang's father heard a boy's trembling voice answer, "N-no, boss..."

Shan Yang's father: ???

I thought my son was getting bullied at his fancy school. Turns out he's the boss there?!

When Lu Haoze, chairman of the board of trustees, heard that his younger brother had bullied a scholarship student, he hurried to the school to clean up the mess.

The moment he saw Shan Yang, slender and standing with his head bowed in the corner, Lu Haoze stared at him as if he'd been bewitched.

Then he heard that Shan Yang was an ambitious, academically gifted student from a poor family in a small county town, and Lu Haoze immediately slapped his own younger brother across the face. "Are you even human? How could you bully such a good classmate?!"

His younger brother stared wide-eyed and pointed at Shan Yang, trying to make excuses, but Lu Haoze slapped him again. "Go apologize!"

After his brother apologized, Lu Haoze straightened his suit, rumpled from the scolding, and walked over to introduce himself to Shan Yang. "Hello, I'm Lu Haoze, Lu Xun's older brother."

Shan Yang, who had just been bullied by Lu Xun, gave him a strange sideways glance and walked past without a word.

Lu Haoze cleared his throat, undeterred. "Don't get the wrong idea. I'm not like my brother."

At that, Shan Yang finally stopped and lazily lifted his eyes to look at him. "How are you different?"

Lu Haoze stood ramrod straight, adjusted his tie, and answered with utmost seriousness, as if responding to a question on a blind date:

"In every way."

A secret-identity scholarship student who's not easy to bully, physically strong, highly intelligent, and vengeful, in the receiving role x a domineering CEO who falls for his younger brother's classmate and shamelessly pursues him despite being seven years older, in the pursuing role.
