I Played an Alpha So Convincingly, Everyone Thought I Was Strong

Ji Jin stares at himself in the mirror: sharp canine teeth, a gland at the back of his neck, and a faint, icy "pheromone" clinging to his body. How is he supposed to tell everyone that the teeth are dentures, the gland is a temporary tattoo, and that so-called top-tier pheromone is just expensive perfume he bought specifically to impress a wealthy woman?! Before transmigrating as an Alpha, Ji Jin was an ambitious pretty boy hoping to marry into a wealthy family and live off his looks. After transmigrating as an Alpha, he accidentally ends up at an interstellar military academy, a poor and miserable student whose future is uncertain. Before transmigrating, he was about to attend an ABO role-playing party. To win over the person he had his eye on, he had carefully dressed up, determined to outshine all the other pretty boys and become her favorite type: a cool and aloof Alpha. * At the opening ceremony for first-year students at the interstellar academy, everyone had already assumed that the strongest students in this class would be the same handful of people, until a dark horse suddenly burst into view: a civilian Alpha from a trash planet. A top-tier Alpha. * Unable to drop out, Ji Jin plans to be an ordinary student, keep his head down, make it through a few semesters, graduate, and pack up and leave as soon as possible. Then he can keep working toward his dream of latching onto a wealthy woman and climbing to the top. But he may not have realized that this is an ABO world. There are no wealthy women, but plenty of Alphas covet him. [Content warnings] 1. At first, the protagonist has no grand ambitions. He just wants to coast through life and take shortcuts. He rises to prominence in the middle of the story. 2. In his previous life, the protagonist hadn't managed to woo a wealthy woman before he transmigrated, so he was still a virgin. After transmigrating, he is turned gay. 3. The author's values are not necessarily those of the characters. Please don't apply the novel to real life. Theme: There are no shortcuts in life.
