The Beloved of the Noble Academy

Xia Ran is a guitarist. She’s painfully timid, afraid of people and shy around strangers. She has always dreamed of starting a band and shining onstage. But in reality, she never dares to take her guitar out of the house. She’s always huddled timidly in a corner of the classroom. One day, her school band needs a guitarist. She summons her courage, takes out her guitar, and gets ready to audition. * Xia Ran never gets to fulfill her dream. She gets into a car accident on her way to school. When she wakes up, she discovers she has transmigrated into a book. She’s become a minor female character in White Moonlight of the Elite Academy. This character has done all sorts of awful things. She offends the female lead Gong, Lin Ziqiu, the aloof white moonlight and student council president. She secretly tears the pretty dress of the female lead Shou, the white-lotus, lovesick younger sister from her parents’ blended family. She puts cockroaches in the drink of a disposable female lead Gong, the red-haired school bully. And she steals the golden-rimmed glasses of the school doctor, a gentle woman with a dark side. After causing trouble left and right, the minor character meets a miserable end. Her parents ultimately abandon her completely and send her abroad. She lives it up overseas, then dies of alcohol poisoning. But none of that matters to Xia Ran. What matters is this: This minor character... Is the school band’s... guitarist and lead vocalist! She’s the guitarist and lead vocalist of the band Charis!! * Everyone notices that the guitarist, who used to be unbelievably bad and unbelievably ill-tempered, has suddenly become everyone’s darling. Someone passing by the grove sees the student council president, face cold, hand Xia Ran a hot drink and remind her that her period is coming, so she shouldn’t have anything cold. Then she asks if Xia Ran is free for a date this weekend. The red-haired school bully, who always looked impatient whenever Xia Ran came up and wished she would disappear from the world. One day, someone sees Xia Ran sitting properly on the back of her motorcycle. The red-haired girl, usually so ill-tempered, asks her earnestly, “Are your legs cold like that?” And the gentle, lovable, pitiful younger sister who’s always bullied by her older sister is often waiting outside Xia Ran’s classroom. When someone asks, she blushes shyly and says, “Xiao Ruan is waiting for Big Sis to finish class.” Even the school doctor, who always seems gentle and polite but is actually distant and cold toward everyone, is spotted stroking Xia Ran’s hair and saying tenderly, “You’ve lost so much weight. Remember to take your medicine on time.” The students: “????” What’s going on? & Everyone realizes Xia Ran has changed. She’s become timid, weak, and cautious, as though anyone could bully her. What’s going on? Why aren’t the people she used to bully taking the chance to get revenge? Then one day, Charis begins its official tour. The girl takes her guitar and walks onto the stage. Brilliant clouds, wild winds, vibrating strings, and the girl’s eyes, blazing and sparkling like bolts of light. So dazzling, so radiant, so full of brilliance! As the wind and clouds surge, in that moment, the whole world is at her feet. * Who could help loving her? Everyone loves her. * “Aren’t you concerned about your future?” “Outside the band, I don’t care.” “What about love?” “...” Under the gazes coming at her from every direction, Xia Ran looks guiltily at her toes. “Emmmm...” Th-this is so hard. * [Everyone’s darling, love interests up for grabs, romantic rivalry, band story, NP, multiple endings, love-interest character settings still being refined.] Theme: Pursue your dreams with unwavering determination.
