A Straight-Laced Guy Reincarnated as a Beta Cannon Fodder in a Noble Academy

Xie Yun wakes up in a novel about the nobility as the Beta older brother, unrelated by blood or marriage, of the protagonist’s love interest. In the original story, the school’s F4 bully the protagonist, Lu Yibing, because he’s an Omega. His Beta older brother becomes universally hated and dies without a body to bury for sticking his nose into their business. … So why not just stay out of it? Who can afford to cross a pack of Alphas like that? System: But your mission is to get involved and win Lu Yibing over. Otherwise, you’re dead meat~ He’s straight. How’s a straight guy supposed to win him over? Besides, on his first day after transferring in, straight guy Xie Yun realizes something is off. F1, the unruly one, is throwing water at Lu Yibing. Xie Yun rushes over and stretches an arm between them, giving F1 a cold look with his desolate eyes. F1 leans close to his ear and grins. “Kiss me, and I won’t beat him up.” When the haughty, ill-tempered F2 corners Lu Yibing against a wall, Xie Yun frowns and goes over, only for F2 to turn and push Lu Yibing aside, taking his place against the wall. Xie Yun looks up and sees F2 turn away, the tips of his ears red. During his rut, F3, the protagonist’s seemingly kind and cheerful love interest, leans close to the Omega protagonist. Xie Yun goes to stop him, but F3’s breath coils around his neck like a snake, and his arms close around Xie Yun instead. Even F4, the sinister, sweet-on-the-outside type, is bullying Lu Yibing when Xie Yun says just one line, following the plot. F4 drops to one knee before Xie Yun and kisses his slender, pale ankle. “Then, Yun Yun, I won’t bully him anymore. Please love me.” Then one Sunday, while Xie Yun is half asleep, someone climbs into his bed with a creak. In the deep night, Lu Yibing’s handsome face appears before Xie Yun. The unfamiliar scent of fir settles over the person beneath him. The man furrows his brows pitifully and murmurs, “Big brother…I feel awful.” Thinking it’s an Omega’s heat, Xie Yun pushes him away and mumbles, “I’ll get you some suppressants.” But before he can get up, a powerful force yanks him back. The heavy scent of fir sinks into Xie Yun’s skin. Lu Yibing slips out his soft tongue and bites the side of Xie Yun’s neck. “Do you know what kind of cycle I’m in, big brother? ^^” Xie Yun, bitten on the neck: ??? He’s just following the plot. Why are they all clinging to him? * A talented transfer student arrives at Fallowde Private Noble Academy. His name is Xie Yun. Tall and graceful, with strikingly beautiful features, his snow-pale face and weary, cold eyes tug at people’s heartstrings. After hearing about him, the members of F4 each find a way to get close to him. The original plot goes off the rails. Every chance meeting, supposedly accidental, is part of their plans. The members of the F group gradually begin to look at one another with loathing. From the moment Xie Yun arrives at school, countless hungry gazes stay fixed on him. From beginning to end, nothing ever changes. A straight, aloof beauty on a high peak who seduces people without realizing it, shou vs. a gong who pretends to be a weak Omega but is actually an Alpha (later undergoes a second differentiation into an Enigma) [Reading Guide] * A battlefield of competing suitors. Everyone has a one-sided crush on the shou. He only follows the plot and completes his missions. There are no romantic storylines for anyone except the main gong, but everyone loves the shou. (!) * No romantic ambiguity between the gongs!! Everyone loves the shou!! (I really hate that) (Pay attention!) * One-on-one, both virgins, fake stepbrothers, younger gong. The gong was adopted. * The main gong is Lu Yibing. He later differentiates into an Enigma. There’s a little bit of mistaken identity. The ending has a melodramatic, System-driven reconciliation after a breakup. ( * The shou gets lots of attention! I love a universally adored, icy shou. >﹤ End of previews After Yu Ling unexpectedly dies, he’s forced to bind himself to the “Voluntary Beauty” System because he’s too beautiful. He must complete each world’s missions partly by using his looks if he wants to come back to life. [The Holy Moonlight Priest Targeted by a Seductive Demon] The god worshipped by all lost his divine powers and was struck by backlash after showing mercy and saving the people. Even the believers he once saved turned against him. After finally escaping them, Yu Ling follows the System’s instructions and prepares to flee. The numbness from the backlash spreads between his legs, and the god collapses to his knees. A careless smile curls across someone’s lips. A shadow appears before him. “Dear Father, would you like me to help you?” [The Beautiful Wife Pursued by Both Father and Son] After Yu Ling becomes the wife of a business tycoon, he thinks he can simply enjoy being a pampered canary. But on his very first day in the house, he discovers the tycoon has a stepson from his previous marriage. And the boy is very badly behaved. After one too many challenges, boundary crossings, clingy advances, and attempts to win sympathy, Yu Ling finally furrows his snow-pale brows and slaps him. “Pei Zechuan, are you starved for love?” The slap lands on his face, smelling of cold fragrance, and stings like fire. But Pei Zechuan looks up with dark eyes and a carefree grin. “That’s right, Stepmom. Why don’t you show me some love?” (No blood relation!! The romance only starts after the divorce has completely ended the relationship!! At first, it’s a game of push and pull as stepson and stepmother compete for the upper hand!!) The gong still calls the shou Stepmom, as a little kink.

The original young master was supposed to spend his whole life impoverished in the slums, but instead he unexpectedly joined the Xie family and enjoyed wealth and luxury. Then the real young master, a special-admissions student who’d been left outside the family, recognized him. The real young master does one wicked thing after another, looks down on those beneath him and fawns on those above him, and uses the fact that Xie Shiyi is a fake young master to pin every deed on him. And Xie Shiyi happens to arrive on the very day his identity is exposed. The real young master spreads rumors everywhere that he and Fu Ze are involved. The original accepts the blame through gritted teeth, and the rumor becomes the talk of the school. The fake young master Xie Shiyi, exposed for who he is, becomes a vicious villain in everyone’s eyes. When he goes out, F1 stops him halfway and teases him in a husky voice. “You like that icy blockhead Fu Ze? Why not get together with me instead? I’ll make sure you thrive at this academy, Young Master Xie.” The aloof F3, a follower of the big shot, originally planned to teach this fake F2 a lesson. But he keeps wandering past Xie Shiyi for no apparent reason, staring at him with flushed ears as if he were a beautiful damsel in distress, before quietly switching to a different person to follow. The more sinister F4 is bolder. Bold enough to sneak up the building and spy on Xie Shiyi, and follow him home in the middle of the night, all for a glimpse of his striking, snow-white face, its fragile, vulnerable beauty tinged with anger. And Fu Ze is a very quiet, taciturn big shot. He quietly checks in on Xie Shiyi. He quietly invites him to his private lounge all the time, claiming it’s because they’re both F-rank. Even after learning that Xie Shiyi isn’t F2, and that he’s been spreading baseless rumors about their relationship, he merely gives a quiet “Mm.” It isn’t until Xie Shiyi has spent all this time face-slapping everyone that he remembers he needs to clear things up with Fu Ze. Fu Ze finally reacts. He lifts his eyes to look at him, and his normally indifferent lips curl into the faintest smile. “You want to distance yourself from me already, A Yi?” “We’ve been getting along so well all this time.” His voice is cool and husky, as if he’d been out in the snow all night. Straight guy Xie Shiyi shivers all over at the sound and sneaks away under Fu Ze’s complicated gaze. Later, their gazes grow stranger and stranger, and even the real young master starts pestering Xie Shiyi whenever he can. Everyone becomes brazen, staring at him without restraint and letting their eyes crawl inch by inch over Xie Shiyi’s neck, waist, and long legs. The forum turns completely upside down. Dark gazes lurk around every corner, and inexplicable hostility brews between the members of the F group. A major showdown is about to erupt. The straight man is terrified. Aren’t I the fake young master you all hate most? Why are you all getting gayer and gayer? Preview 3 After dying unexpectedly, Shen He wakes up as the second wife of Alpha Fu Xizhou. Everyone knows he’s just a sickly Beta canary who married into the family on the strength of his beauty and can’t have children. Fu Xizhou says the same. Shen He knows he really is weak, but he has to follow the System’s orders and win over the big shot, who just happens to love keeping canaries. After pursuing Fu Xizhou for a while, Shen He realizes that Fu Xizhou is actually unmoved by everything he does. Unmoved as he transfers money to his wife. Unmoved as he shows concern for his wife. Unmoved as, afraid he might hurt his sickly beauty, he holds Shen He close and endures his entire rut alone. Shen He wants to do research, so Fu Xizhou goes to the lab to find him rare equipment. When Shen He runs out of his favorite cool, mountain-snow-scented incense, Fu Xizhou quietly replenishes it. Even when Shen He casually mentions one day that he wants raspberry cake, Fu Xizhou brings one home every day for a whole month on his way back from work. It’s no big deal. Until one day at a party, all kinds of pheromones swirl around the Beta with the cool scent. For the first time, Fu Xizhou, unable to mark the person he loves, darkens his expression. He pulls Shen He away on the spot and drags him home. Shen He, used to Fu Xizhou treating him gently, is baffled. What’s gotten into him all of a sudden? Only when he’s thrown onto the bed does the usually gentle, taciturn Fu Xizhou reveal a faintly menacing look. He holds Shen He by the waist as he struggles to escape, his voice low. “Be good, He He. I’ll go a little deeper this time. I’ll be able to mark you.” For the first time, Shen He chokes back tears as he struggles to force out, “No. Get lost. Get off me.” (The gong later undergoes a second differentiation into an Enigma!!) For details, see: Can a Sickly Beta Be Pampered by a Daddy-Type Big Shot?
