Why Is It So Hard to Be the Military Academy's Social Butterfly?

Wen Chu transmigrated into a book and was forced into a fiercely competitive military academy.

All the students here came from powerful backgrounds, while his role was the popular protagonist's three-month-only boyfriend...

In the original story, he would feel increasingly inferior among the favored sons of heaven, constantly argue with the protagonist, and eventually break up with him. Before the protagonist could mourn the end of their relationship, he would have to deal with the passionate pursuits of several male leads.

If someone asked how to become the military academy's social butterfly:

First, learn to accept every leering gaze, whether or not the person was your type. Face them with a smiling, unruffled expression, because you never knew which bad-tempered lunatic might target you over some little slight.

If you wanted to graduate safely without being bullied, you had to learn to smile.

That wasn't hard. What gave Wen Chu a headache was that his life was bound to the protagonist's. If the protagonist got stabbed, he would die too.

So he had no choice but to keep an eye on his fragile boyfriend, who seemed like he would shatter at the slightest touch. First, he had to find a way to chase off all the admirers surrounding the protagonist.

On the first day of school, someone tried to get the protagonist to talk alone in a classroom. Wen Chu grabbed the person's hand and smiled, his eyes crinkling. "But I'd like to talk with you too. Is that okay?"

At the end of the term, the academy held a hot spring trip. Someone invited the protagonist to another bath. Wen Chu stepped between them. "My boyfriend doesn't like the smell of alcohol. I'll go with you."

Tournaments, exams... He chased off one person after another.

Finally, one day, Wen Chu's bond with the protagonist expired. He could safely become a nobody at school and focus on his studies.

Wen Chu decided to stop interfering with the original plot.

The New Year fireworks festival arrived. The school arranged for the students to stay at a local inn, with two people to each floor mattress.

Naturally, Wen Chu shared one with the protagonist. According to the plot, tonight, while everyone was fast asleep, the always restrained and self-controlled A would be unable to resist touching the protagonist and confessing his feelings.

In the dead of night, all was silent.

Wen Chu pretended to keep his eyes closed, ignoring the faint rustle of clothes as he waited for A to lose control and kiss the protagonist passionately. He waited and waited, only to feel a finger press hard against his lower lip.

On the other side of the mattress, the protagonist was still sleeping, completely unaware...

The plot began to slip out of Wen Chu's control. A truly frightened him, so Wen Chu acted decisively, faked his death, changed his name, and went to live a leisurely life in another city.

He had no idea that the night he died, dark clouds had gathered over the First Military Academy.

Life at the military academy had been a dream to Wen Chu. He hadn't taken any of it seriously.

Half a month after changing his name, Wen Chu had already forgotten all about it. He went out for training with the school's main group, and just as he opened his umbrella, he met a pair of unhinged eyes in the steady drizzle.

In a classroom at the military academy, its curtains tightly drawn, A leaned over and pinned someone against the wall, impatiently biting their earlobe. The muscles in his arm tensed, and desire filled his eyes.

A window was right beside them. At the same time, three people heading into the building below, one behind the other, suddenly stopped and looked up.

Someone murmured, half smiling, "So he isn't dead after all..."

He hid himself very well.

The other two said nothing, their expressions dark and uncertain.

Wen Chu looked annoyed, moisture gathering in the corners of his upturned eyes. Suddenly, as if sensing something, he turned his face and met the gazes of the three people below, his expression blank.

The downpour abruptly grew heavier.
