She's the New Heartthrob at the Aristocratic Academy

Chi Luo transmigrated into an unfinished novel with a terrible ending.

Every character in the book had a hidden setting. As a supporting character, Chi Luo's setting was: remain a boy. If she ever revealed her gender of her own accord, she would be punished on the spot.

With no guidance at all, Chi Luo decided to treat it like an adventure game--

In her current life, other people saw her as a poor little thing. After her parents divorced, neither of them wanted her, and they tried to make up for it with a little money each month. Next, she was going to transfer to an elite high school, the main setting of the story.

Chi Luo: Okay, I can work with this.

But things started going wrong as soon as she transferred:

During PE, Chi Luo got heatstroke and rested under a tree. Someone took her picture and posted it on the school forum, where it became a hot topic with the title, "The sickly campus heartthrob today!"

Chi Luo stared at the picture, lost in thought. Wasn't the male lead supposed to be the campus heartthrob?

After school on Friday, Chi Luo received a movie ticket. A cute girl stood in front of her, gathering her courage to ask her to see a movie together.

Chi Luo: Wait, weren't you supposed to ask the male lead?

Behind Chi Luo, the former campus heartthrob snatched the ticket from her hand and wedged himself between her and the girl. Looking flustered, he said, "What movie? I'm coming too!"

Chi Luo: Hmm... maybe things are getting back on track?

The school's anniversary show always featured a play about a princess and a knight, and voting for the roles was a hot topic.

One evening, Chi Luo happened to check the voting. The original female lead and several other girls were neck and neck for the princess role, but Chi Luo's name sat firmly at the top of the list for the knight.

This can't be right, can it?

She didn't breathe easy until she got to school the next morning and heard someone say the former campus heartthrob was paying people to cast votes for him.

But later she learned she'd relaxed too soon. He really was paying for votes, but he wasn't trying to get the knight's role.

In the rehearsal hall, the former campus heartthrob wore a princess costume and lifted his chin with poise, though his eyes kept glancing at Chi Luo. "Ahem, aren't we rehearsing the scene where the knight kisses the princess today?"
