The Beautiful Mute Boy at the Noble Boys’ School

The new novel, *Materialistic, but I Was Forced to Marry a Big Shot*, is updating daily. Add it to your library! Ni Zhi is a little mute, but he’s so beautiful that everyone spoils him until he turns into a mischievous little green tea. One day, he transmigrates into a book, where he has to play the honest, disposable bottom at an elite boys’ school. Ni Zhi: ? Who, me? A disposable character? You’re calling someone who looks like this a disposable character? Everyone at the elite school is either rich or powerful. As a scholarship student from a poor family, Ni Zhi is destined to be everyone’s favorite target. For instance, there’s Top 1, born into a prominent family. He has at least three teams of bodyguards with him wherever he goes. He’s aloof and composed, and never lets a grudge go unanswered. In the original story, Ni Zhi accidentally offended him, and he humiliated Ni Zhi by slapping him in the face with money. Then there’s Top 2, a nasty-tempered superstar and musical prodigy who owns millions in music royalties despite his young age. In the original story, Ni Zhi accidentally stepped on him, so he made Ni Zhi kneel in public and lick the tip of his shoe clean. And then there’s Top 3, the gentle and considerate student council president, born into privilege and top of his class. In the original story, Ni Zhi thought he was his only friend, until he overheard him gently sneer, “How can a person be friends with a toy?” Ni Zhi is spoiled and willful, and he’s used to getting away with anything because he’s beautiful. He couldn’t care less whether the original story goes out of character. Top 1: “I was about to take out some money, when he slapped me.” But Ni Zhi’s fingers are long and soft, as white as a handful of fine snow. When his palm comes flying, the first thing you notice is his intoxicatingly sweet scent, like a bewitching, heady breeze. You can’t help worrying that your face might hurt his delicate palm. Top 2: “He stepped on me, and before I could say anything, he gestured for me to crawl over.” But as you crawl toward him, you can see Ni Zhi’s slender, beautiful ankles, wrapped in white cotton socks. They’re so thin you could hold one in a single hand. Even when he nonchalantly lifts your chin with the tip of his foot, you can’t bring yourself to resist. Top 3’s eyes redden. “...I really did think of him as a friend.” That figure is no longer the poor thing who could only cry in a corner. He shines beneath the envious, yearning gazes of countless people. Even when Top 3 kneels at his feet and begs for forgiveness, Ni Zhi won’t spare him another glance. On the other side of a wall, Ni Zhi is pinned firmly against it. Both hands brace weakly against the surface, and tears roll from his beautiful eyes, dampening his snow-white face. He looks utterly pitiful. The man holding him is tall and broad, with a close-cropped haircut and a lean, sharply defined face. His narrow eyes are dark and deep, and the double-headed snake tattoo behind his ear is brazenly conspicuous. Xi Wei is the heir to a colossal business empire. His father holds the reins of power, his mother comes from a wealthy family, and half the school’s board members work for his family. His influence is so overwhelming that even the other three tops have to bow before him. He alone stands at the very top of the school’s hierarchy. At that moment, Xi Wei gently wipes away Ni Zhi’s tears with one hand. With the other, he slips his fingertips into Ni Zhi’s mouth and teases his soft, slick little tongue, then bites his earlobe. “Baby, don’t reward them next time.” “Beg me out loud. Otherwise, even if you cry, I won’t stop this time.” △ Xi Wei is the main love interest, but Ni Zhi also has plenty of push and pull with Tops 1, 2, and 3. △ The bottom is a spoiled little green tea who’s good at acting like an innocent white lotus while ordering the tops around. He’s a serious heartthrob, and everyone loves him. △ All four tops are real jerks in the original story, but the bottom is an expert at training dogs.

[Sweet, teasing bottom x domineering, old-fashioned top] Eight-year age gap | A sweet-talker who doesn’t mean a word of it, a materialistic young actor vs. a powerful man whose old flame has reignited, with an overwhelming need for control Wang Zhi is a B-list actor who used his good looks to land a wealthy fiancé. When he first meets his fiancé’s powerful older brother, Gao Bochong, Wang Zhi thinks the man looks strangely familiar. Gao Bochong is a powerful businessman from a wealthy family. He’s been scandal-free and impeccably proper for thirty years, and exudes the cool detachment of someone accustomed to being in charge. A pair of gold-rimmed half-frame glasses sits on his tall nose, and he looks at Wang Zhi without the slightest restraint. Wang Zhi doesn’t dare read too much into it. He tries his best to act sweet and obedient so he can marry into the wealthy family. Until one day, he’s trapped on Gao Bochong’s lap, barely able to keep his balance. His fiancé is right outside the door, while Gao Bochong rubs his wrist and speaks in a cold, faintly mocking voice. “Go home and think carefully about when we first met.” Wang Zhi freezes. Because he remembers. Gao Bochong seems to be the stranger he’d spent one passionate night with before running off without a word. * Gao Bochong had kept himself pure for thirty years, only to be slept with and abandoned. The person who slept with him had a slender waist and long legs. When Gao Bochong pinned him by the waist against the bathroom sink, he tipped his head back, baring a long, delicate neck, so fragile and beautiful that Gao Bochong wanted to make him cry. For the first time, Gao Bochong discovered that he, too, could be captivated by a beautiful body. When they meet again, the owner of that beautiful body has become his soon-to-be sister-in-law, sitting beside his younger brother and sweetly greeting him, “Big Brother.” His eyes are bright, his expression innocent and obedient. Gao Bochong remembers that night: the young man’s voice, broken and trembling; the tears at the corners of his eyes, hot against his skin; his teeth sinking into Gao Bochong’s fingers as he urged him on through incoherent murmurs. Those flirtatious eyes, that soul-searing allure. For the first time in his life, the proper Mr. Gao finds a thoroughly despicable thought taking root in his heart. * Wang Zhi can’t give up his fiancé, his meal ticket, and he’s afraid Gao Bochong will recognize him. Then Gao Bochong sends him all kinds of jewelry and a top-tier agency contract. Wang Zhi is surprised and delighted, assuming it’s Gao Bochong’s severance package. But before he can even say, “I do,” he really does marry into a wealthy family. Not to his fiancé, but to Gao Bochong. Gao Bochong has broad shoulders and a wide back, and is twice Wang Zhi’s size. He looks tall, imposing, and impossible to fool. Remembering how pleasurable and painful that night had been, Wang Zhi is just about to object when Gao Bochong slides a card over to him. The legendary black card. After checking that it really has no spending limit, Wang Zhi thinks happily that changing husbands might not be such a big deal after all. Gao Bochong sees right through him and scoffs, thinking he’s so materialistic and easy to placate. Wang Zhi suddenly looks up and smiles at him, eyes curved like he’s hiding stars. He walks over, sits on Gao Bochong’s lap, wraps his arms around his neck, and sweetly calls him, “Hubby.” That night, Gao Bochong nearly breaks Wang Zhi’s back. But when Wang Zhi wakes up, he discovers Gao Bochong has bought him an island covered in roses. Wang Zhi is aching and happy. Gao Bochong thinks he’s so easily impressed, but can’t help lowering his head all the same. Wang Zhi obediently tilts his head up. Morning sunlight falls across his face, his skin luminous white and his lips vivid red. As Gao Bochong kisses him, Wang Zhi says with utter sincerity, “Hubby, I love you so much.” Sweet talk. That’s what Gao Bochong thinks, but his heating body can’t lie. His voice is calm, but his heart is boiling. “I love you too.” * At first, Gao Bochong thinks Wang Zhi is just a smooth-talking, money-hungry gold digger. Keeping him around for fun doesn’t seem like a bad idea. In the end, Gao Bochong is grateful he’s rich, incredibly rich, rich enough to buy Wang Zhi’s whole life and keep him by his side forever. △ 1v1, both leads are each other’s first and only, happy ending △ Age gap, size difference, and status gap △ The characters aren’t perfect.
