Ji Ge is notorious for being useless. Unable to transform into a beast, he is branded a "genetic-chain reject" and cast out by his family. The elegant young man wheels his suitcase aboard a ship bound for Origin Star without looking back.

Why bother becoming an aberrant when he could teach and nurture the next generation instead?

The First Academy of Origin Star welcomes two strange new teachers.

One is the homeroom teacher of Class Six. He looks as though a strong gust of wind could knock him over, yet he insists on making his students run laps around the track every day. Today, they beat some aberrants; tomorrow, he wants to take them out to fight alien beasts.

And somehow, the students of Class Six treat this teacher like a treasure. They handle him with such care that you'd think he might break, and protect him like he's royalty.

If they hear anyone say a single bad word about Teacher Ji, they swarm in at once to stand up for their homeroom teacher.

The other new arrival is an instructor in the school's administration office, a peerlessly handsome man who always wears the faintest hint of a smile.

His cool gaze is enough to make even the principal nervous, forcing him to wonder whether he has violated school regulations.

The only one bold enough to cheekily provoke him is that sickly-looking Teacher Ji from Class Six. Sometimes he fondles the instructor's hand in public; sometimes he stumbles right into his arms. He takes advantage of any opportunity he can get.

All the teachers wait for the stern, impartial instructor to put his foot down and punish the brazen Teacher Ji according to school regulations.

Instead, the instructor's eyes grow dark. He slowly wipes the blood from his lips, then pulls Teacher Ji into his arms with a satisfied expression.

The others see this and think, This won't do. The instructor has been bewitched! So they decide to wait for Teacher Ji to embarrass himself at the Interstellar League.

But when Class Six, competing as ordinary people, wins the Inter-School Interstellar Tournament and defeats a whole group of aberrants, Teacher Ji returns to Origin Star safe and sound.

When a genetic catastrophe breaks out and the school is besieged by aberrants who've lost their minds, Teacher Ji is still as high-profile as ever.

Looking at the combat force behind Ji Ge, enough to rival an entire army corps, everyone falls silent. How does this teacher act more like a corps commander? That's hard to explain.

Boldly makes the first move · bravely pursues love · pureblood bottom

Denies being in love, but folds fastest · vampire top

PS: The top isn't a vampire in the conventional sense, and there are plenty of original worldbuilding details. If that's not your thing, there's always the next novel.

PS: If you're reading pirated copies, show some decency. Any comments telling me how to write my story will be deleted, cursed out, and reported, all in one go!

1. Interstellar setting, with plenty of original worldbuilding.

2. No pregnancy or childbirth; children are conceived through technology.

3. I'm terrible at writing blurbs. Read the story for the actual plot.

4. Read in harmony with yourself. Don't force it; I'll feel bad.

A little scene

The school administration office.

The man looked at the young man with interest. "I heard Teacher Ji wants to spar with the homeroom teacher of Class One?"

Ji Ge denied it with all his might. "The homeroom teacher of Class One is supposed to be a role model, yet he keeps spouting nonsense. I just want to discuss quality education with him."

The man said, "Teachers fighting on campus... Isn't that against school rules?"

Ji Ge asked, "As an instructor, are you going to handle this or not?"

The man stood up and elegantly rolled up his sleeves. "The school has its rules. Do me a favor, Teacher Ji, and let me handle this personally."

That night, the Class One homeroom teacher was summoned by the instructor under the pretext of discussing quality education. The chatty culprit later said he deeply regretted it.

Bai Liyu discovers that in a certain book, he's a delusional simp who tries every which way to come between the protagonists. And people who ruin the protagonists' romance usually don't get a happy ending.

So he does everything he can to avoid getting involved with Song Cheng, one of the protagonists. But Song Cheng's texts cling to him like a bone-deep itch.

Things take a turn when Bai Liyu accompanies his parents to a wedding banquet. The people getting married flee, and the next moment, he meets the other protagonist, Shi Feng.

Looking at this man, who checks every box on his list of good looks, Bai Liyu can't help thinking: What a match made in heaven!

Question: How do you derail the plot of a book? Naturally, you do the exact opposite!

So he heads straight against the flow, weaving past the guests leaving in disappointment. Under his parents' astonished gaze, he firmly takes the man's hand.

"Hello, nice to meet you. Would you be interested in spending the rest of your life with me?"

The man is taken aback. He studies him for a few seconds with his deep-set eyes, then slowly smiles. "Yes."

His prospective husband is handsome, long-legged, and from a family of equal standing. That single yes makes Bai Liyu go weak at the knees. As soon as the wedding banquet ends, he eagerly follows the man to register their marriage.

The only downside is that his new husband already has a child from before their marriage. An adopted one.

The four-year-old looks at Bai Liyu and gives him a soft, sweet smile. "Hi, Dad! I'm Mianmian, because I loooove sleeping!"

But what has a child ever done wrong? Bai Liyu, who loves soft, cuddly things, thinks to himself. Besides, he and Shi Feng can't have children of their own anyway.

After they marry, the man is busy earning a living for the family. So, in the spirit of sharing marital responsibilities, Bai Liyu takes their kid on a variety show. He never expects to run into Song Cheng, the very person he's been going to such lengths to avoid.

Thinking he's arrived at the wrong place, Bai Liyu asks over and over until he finally learns that his company has signed him up for a variety show where rich second-generation kids flaunt their wealth: The Daily Lives of the Young Masters.

He's the struggling young celebrity brought in by the production team to make the rich kids look good.

Bai Liyu, the real young master: "Make them look good? What the hell are you talking about?"

On the show, Song Cheng targets him again and again. Even the sweet little flower who is supposedly the male lead's true love in his dream looks down on him. At last, Bai Liyu quietly takes out the black card his dad gave him.

The exquisitely handsome young man says sheepishly, "I'll pay for it myself. This is the card my dad gave me for spending money. I don't know if there's enough on it."

Hearing this, the little bundle in his arms immediately pulls another black card out of his own little bag. "It's okay, Mianmian has one too!"

Touched, Bai Liyu puts the child's card back in his bag and smiles. "It's fine. Your other dad also gave me another card for groceries."

As he speaks, he takes out a discreetly luxurious black-and-gold diamond card.

"If that's not enough, I also have a card for household expenses."

"A card from your maternal grandmother."

"A card from your uncle."

"A card from your paternal grandparents."

Bai Liyu looks at the owner of the establishment, holding all the cards in his hand, and asks innocently, "With this many cards, we should have enough to cover the minimum spend for a private room, right?"

Song Cheng is left dumbfounded. The rich kids, who still rely on their parents for pocket money, stare at the stack of black cards in his hand, tears of envy trickling from the corners of their mouths.

Online commenters: Well, well, who exactly is the real rich kid here?
