*Sorry for changing the premise. A pampered shou and a dog-like gong, a childhood friend who appears out of nowhere. The gong is the shou's most loyal lackey. This is self-indulgent writing, so please leave if it's not your thing~
[Blurb]
You were born with the highest known level of spiritual power in the Empire. From then on, you became the sole heir to the Empire's oldest family, standing at the peak of power and wealth. Since childhood, you were a role model to your peers and the favorite child of the adults around you.
After coming of age, you enter Ansite Academy, the Empire's finest school, teeming with children of the nobility.
You are the undisputed F1 in the eyes of the entire school. Everyone around you respects, loves, and flatters you.
And you find it all unbearably tiresome.
Then, in your second year at the academy, you receive a secret mission: pretend you've lost your spiritual power in an accident and search for the hidden threat lurking in the school.
You accept eagerly, thinking that the people who'd been surrounding you 24/7 would finally leave you alone, and you'd at last have some space to yourself.
But, to your surprise, the beasts cowed by your dazzling aura swarm toward you...
F2, whose abilities are second only to yours, breaks into your single dorm room in the middle of the night and advances on you step by step. "Marry me. I'm your best option now."
F3, a beauty known for her cool elegance, uses her physical advantage in combat class to pin you to the ground. She coils around you like a snake around its prey, gripping your wrists tightly as she rasps, "I won't let my prey escape me."
In an empty classroom, F4, bright, lively, and passionate as fire, forcefully takes your hand and plants a kiss on its back with a sunny smile. "Sweetheart, now it's my turn to protect you."
You frown, deciding to stay away from these three lunatics. Then you spot the poor scholarship student you've secretly supported and protected, standing under a streetlamp at the end of the path.
The scholarship student walks over and crouches down to look up at you, swearing his loyalty like a big dog. "I will always be loyal to you."
You lower your eyes to the humble man offering you his devotion and give him a wicked smile unlike any you've ever worn before.
You cup the scholarship student's face in your hands. "Can you be loyal in bed, too?"
The scholarship student silently rises and pulls you into his arms.
Leaning against his shoulder, you look back and meet three familiar pairs of eyes filled with anger and possessiveness.
You suddenly realize:
They've been coveting you for a long time.
