A Guide to Playing the Background Character at a Noble Academy

Updates are somewhat irregular. Read at your own risk.

Lu Yu is a background character in a danmei novel set at an elite academy. He sits in the corner of the classroom with black hair covering his face, and wears long-sleeved uniforms all year round to hide himself completely. Reclusive and strange, taciturn and solitary, he leaves only a faint, gloomy shadow in the corners of the school.

He passes by the protagonists, watches important scenes unfold, witnesses iconic moments from the book, and occasionally plays a supporting role, helping the protagonist anonymously.

Lu Yu thinks he will live like this forever: peacefully, ordinarily, and unnoticed.

But gradually, more and more obscure, secretive gazes begin to gather on him. Ambiguous words with hidden meanings on the forums, photos circulating among the students, mysterious invitations stuffed into his desk...

Highlights: 1. The shou has a skin hunger disorder.

2. The shou is very good-looking. There is a reason he seems "ordinary" and "unremarkable."

3. The story has different one-on-one pairings at different stages.

Below is my upcoming novel, The Insect Mother’s Survival Guide. If you're interested, please add it to your favorites:

The war between humanity and the insectoid race has dragged on for years, with neither side gaining the upper hand. But none of this has anything to do with the shou, who lives on a trash planet in a remote star system.

His only wish is to get into a school on the capital planet, find an ordinary job, and spend a simple, happy life with his older brother, the only family he has.

But he unexpectedly differentiates as a C-rank guide and is forcibly conscripted into the logistics department of the Capital Military Academy.

On the eve of his registration, his body begins to undergo unspeakable changes. His fingers grow soft and pale, his sense of smell becomes more acute, a strange, slight curve appears in his flat abdomen, and his pupils turn into inhuman vertical slits in the dark...

Even the shou, muddleheaded as he is, understands that he's in deep trouble. He's changing into something inhuman.

The capital planet is the center of the entire empire, heavily guarded, with the entire star system under the surveillance of an intelligent system. Hercules Military Academy, the empire's primary reserve military force, has an especially sophisticated defense system.

If the shou is discovered to have inhuman traits, he will be executed on the spot.

His first day reporting to the military academy is the eighteenth day since his body began to change.

At that point, he has two months left before he fully differentiates into an insect mother.

Theme: Some birds cannot be caged. Every feather shines with the radiance of freedom.
