A Guide to Climbing the Ranks at the Noble Academy

--- Blurb ---

Jiang Shiqian is a web novelist, barely making ends meet and dreaming of striking it rich.

He never reads serialized fiction or complains about the plot, but he transmigrates into a book.

The novel is set at Korea's most prestigious boys' school for the nobility. Here, being poor is a sin. The student body is strictly stratified, and the student council, controlled by the sons of conglomerate families, holds the greatest power. The plot is illogical, melodramatic, and brainless.

Jiang Shiqian transmigrates into the role of the poorest transfer student.

Jiang Shiqian: "What am I supposed to do?"

System: "Complete the plot of this book and fulfill your character's wish."

At Silla International Boys' High, there's only one way to avoid being bullied by the upper class: latch onto a rich second-generation heir and become his male pet. The original character has already seduced a high-ranking school bully, but still keeps large photos of three conglomerate heirs.

Are those all his targets?

It's a BL novel, too.

Jiang Shiqian falls silent.

Jiang Shiqian nods. "So I just have to hook a rich young master. Got it."

System: [?!!!!]

Jiang Shiqian: "Do I have a golden finger?"

System, timidly: [Yes... You can get item cards by completing System missions.]

Jiang Shiqian's lips curl up.

The conglomerate heirs as he imagined them: refined and cold-hearted.

The conglomerate heirs in reality: twisted, hypermasculine, perverted, arrogant and vicious, selfish, and utterly inhuman.

The System can't help worrying for Jiang Shiqian.

Much later, a legend emerges at Silla International Boys' High.

A poor transfer student takes over the school?

Sounds like a joke.

Everyone waits to see the pauper get toyed with until he voluntarily drops out, preferably crawling away. But as they wait, the story takes a sudden turn.

Why are those arrogant, overbearing conglomerate heirs the ones being toyed with until they fall apart and lose their composure?

System, wiping its sweat: [Host, I feel like I can't keep up with you.]

◎ Korean conglomerate-school style, centered on the protagonist, who controls the scene and has a powerful golden finger. He steals the spotlight. Romance is 1v1, with him returning only his partner's affections. No swapping or reversing couples. He's adored by many, with plenty of one-sided feelings, including admiration, love, and hate.

◎ No secondary couples, but the character relationships throughout are extremely dramatic, explosive, and unhinged, with melodramatic romantic entanglements. Everyone is selfish and villainous, and everything serves the protagonist.
