Reborn as the Most Hated Student at the Elite Academy

Xie Ci is an orphan from the lower district. He has to give everything he's got just to earn a place at the aristocratic Nightingale Academy.

In the lower district, he's seen plenty of thugs who steal and engage in lewd behavior, so he always assumed the wealthy young masters at Nightingale Academy would be well-mannered and virtuous.

It isn't until he's locked in a cramped, dark storage room and hears the people outside insulting and mocking every aspect of his appearance, figure, and background that he realizes he was wrong.

These people are even worse than the thugs in the lower district.

But he never expected that the school was also hiding plenty of born "bad seeds."

Class monitor Cen Shu opens the storage-room door, fusses over him, and shows him every kindness, only to turn around and recommend him to a young masters' club called "King."

King member Sheng Huang helps Xie Ci get rid of his sexual harasser and is eager to be friends with him. But Xie Ci accidentally discovers that Sheng Huang is actually King's founder, and that he has shared hundreds of Xie Ci's photos in a private group chat.

One of the photos leaks and quickly becomes the most-liked picture on the school forum: Xie Ci is drenched, curled up on the ground and shivering, with a great deal of pale skin exposed, looking utterly wretched.

The student council president calls Xie Ci a talent and recruits him as his personal secretary, but in truth, he only wants Xie Ci to be his dog, coming when summoned and leaving when dismissed.

Xie Ci is deceived again and again, until at last he sinks completely into the darkness and becomes universally despised.

Xie Ci is reborn on his first day at the academy.

He decides to take revenge on everyone who bullied him.

To punish evil people, you have to be even more evil than they are!

So he ruins the ambitious class monitor's reputation;

He makes the two-faced members of King officially branded as criminals;

He strips the lofty student council president of all dignity, reducing him to begging and wagging his tail;

Yet even after his revenge sends them tumbling into the mire, these people remain devoted to him and unable to forget him.

Some even chase after Xie Ci, only to see him affectionately linking arms with the next person he's planning to take revenge on, as he says sweetly:

"Gege, I really don't know him."

1. The first half is his previous life, full of angst; the second half is revenge, full of catharsis.

2. A genuinely good person turns bad; the villain is a flirtatious beauty on the receiving end.
