As a beastman whose animal form is a tabby cat, Pei Jin has a simple creed: if he can lie down, he won't stand; if he can use his fists, he won't use his words.
He hasn't even had his fill of the good life when he transmigrates into a melodramatic romance novel, as the cannon-fodder lackey who gets bullied by the original male lead for over a decade, yet remains devoted and keeps groveling at his feet.
This lackey has the same name as him, and his mecha-controlling spirit form is also a tabby cat. But he's rated E-class, and on the battlefield, he gets killed while taking a hit meant for his beloved.
Pei Jin, who has always taken death in stride and fought back against anyone who crossed him, can't accept that.
A lapdog is a lapdog, but in the end, it shouldn't have to lose its life.
But seriously, how can a tabby cat be cannon fodder?!

Something big happens at Othos Military Academy. Ever since the lackey who always waited on Third Prince Kairen hand and foot returned to school to recover from injuries sustained during a purge mission, his personality has completely changed.
He mouths off to teachers, beats up princes, and does whatever he wants.
His classmates: “Did he hit his head during that purge mission?!”
Then one day, they see the newly arrived instructor, the Empire's smiling Grim Reaper, Wen Yu, pinned against the door of a training pod in a kabedon by that very same lackey.
His classmates: “We're doomed. He really did hit his head!”
He even dares to provoke Wen Yu!
*
Wen Yu is the youngest commander in the history of the Sena Empire, and the first anomaly to enter the center of power with a D-class herbivore spirit form.
The young look up to him as a role model, the public reveres him as a hero, and his colleagues see him as a mad dog.
Never did he expect to be pinned against the door of a training pod by the lackey who trails after the Third Prince.
“Instructor Wen, forgive my forwardness. I just wanted to ask, since I owe you money, would you accept me selling myself to you?”
