[Reborn after the White Moonlight's Death] [Dog Training Later On]
[Looping through multiple rounds, aristocratic boys' school for the privileged, cumulative affection, cool beauty protagonist adored by all]
After Luo Jia came back from the dead, he discovered that he'd become his own replacement.
By chance, Luo Jia transferred to an elite boys' school.
As the Empire's highest-ranking educational institution and a stepping stone into high society, Mianyin Academy was renowned.
But Luo Jia hated it.
Family background was everything, class divisions were rigid, and privilege ruled. Those of lower rank had to obey those above them without question, while the four highest-ranking Privileged students made the rules of the jungle.
With adolescent hormones surging, these repressed, twisted heirs to great families put on respectable faces while indulging in every kind of vice... A boys' school could only be more chaotic.
Luo Jia was grateful that his father's opportunism had earned him a fairly high rank. Protected by his family background, he kept a low profile during his first year as a transfer student, inconspicuous as an outsider.
Then he died.
Who killed him?
When he opened his eyes again, a refined, elegant young man was holding his chin and scrutinizing him. "You look so much like him... It's a shame you're only a fake."
He let go coldly, picked up a handkerchief to wipe his hands, and carried himself with an arrogance that clashed with his graceful, gentle appearance.
"Then I'll give you a chance to climb the ranks." He lowered his eyelashes, as if bestowing a favor. "But no one can replace him, even after his death. You'd better behave."
Luo Jia came back from the dead and found himself offering himself to one of the P4, hoping to become a replacement for his former self.
Only then did he realize that he had once been the shared white moonlight of all those heirs to great families.
Those casual touches, seemingly accidental encounters, and inscrutable looks... They had all been attempts to claim him.
The role he thought had been quiet, low-key, and well-behaved had long been watched by countless eyes full of obsession, love, desire, and yearning.
Their idea of bliss was to stain the pure one who drifted through the world, then watch him tremble and shiver beneath the boundless night.
Luo Jia wanted to escape the mire and find out how he died.
But after the loops began, the gazes fixed on him became harder and harder to read.
"A replacement... has a flavor all his own."
**
Luo Jia understood that these people couldn't even be called human. There was no point in reasoning with them.
So he decided to start training the dogs.
At first, the heirs to great families thought he was prey they were sure to catch.
Later, with their hearts empty, they could only beg him to fill them.
"...Please show me mercy. I'll be your most loyal dog."
