Add it to your favorites if you’re interested! On the eve of his company’s IPO, Chu Chu transmigrates into a book. He ends up at a classic F4-style academy for the aristocracy, where he becomes a teacher who’s hated by everyone and destined to be cannon fodder. The original owner came from a nouveau riche family, was shallow and vulgar-looking, and bought his way into an elite school, only to be exposed in front of the real upper crust. He couldn’t get into the upper-class tea parties or fit in with the scholarship students. The protagonists were his polar opposites. F1 through F4 were born into the highest ranks, and their families controlled the country’s economy, academia, and parliamentary power. Then there was the future F5, from an orphanage in the slums. Through sheer perseverance, he drew the attention of the other four protagonists.

If you get kicked out of the academy and fail the mission, we’ll both die.] When Chu Chu transmigrates into the book, his family is in crisis. According to the plot, the whole school will trample him into the dirt, the academy will fire him, and he’ll eventually kill himself. The heirs of powerful corporations, who live for entertainment, set up a massive betting pool over how many days Chu Chu will last. The students from poor families sneer: A pretty but empty-headed rich kid who bought his way in thinks he can teach? His colleagues, from either wealthy families or prestigious schools, watch coldly, waiting for Chu Chu to resign on his own so he won’t tarnish the school’s reputation. Chu Chu pays no attention to the world outside, focusing solely on teaching people how to make money. One student uses a difficult economics problem to publicly put him on the spot. Chu Chu says earnestly, “Your argument seems familiar. Did you ‘borrow’ it from an article in Journal X, issue Y? Remember to include your references next time.” He hopes the student will develop good habits around proper citations. The class erupts in laughter, but this time the student who tried to embarrass Chu Chu is the target of their mockery. An heir from one of the families mocks him provocatively: “I could fund your family, teacher, as long as you get down on your knees and…” Chu Chu shorts the student’s family company stock, giving him a practical lesson to improve his investment skills. The principal is about to host a garden party. The academic dean sends out invitations, leaving Chu Chu off the list. This time, Chu Chu does nothing. But at the party, the young guests of honor fail to spot a familiar face. Smiling as they greet the dean, they casually give their subordinates the same order: The dean is old. Send him home to rest after the next board election. Chu Chu makes no attempt to hide his actions, quickly offending teachers and students alike. He is called into the principal’s office for a private meeting. Many people wait for Teacher Chu to be fired. Those in the know wait for F4 to step in and rescue the beauty. Then a student comes to the principal to get a document signed and sees, The principal himself is holding out a cup of tea. “Chairman Chu, please have a taste.” “…” The cannon-fodder teacher who offended the entire school has become a board member! Many years later, the chosen students of Saint Sion Academy are constantly hounded by the media. They are pillars of their respective fields, famous and successful, yet they share one identity, which they mention again and again in front of the cameras: They were all once his students.
