A Nobody at an Elite American School, Secretly Loved by Old Money

Coming next: From Asian Rookie Cop to New York Mayor, 1989

Sen Lin transmigrated into the melodramatic American TV series Old Money Campus, a flashy story of wealth and excess set at an elite university with rigid class divisions. One-night stands, love triangles, amnesia, fraternities, bullying…

But he was only a bit-part school doctor who kept making reckless mistakes until he landed in prison.

The male lead was Theo Tobias, heir to an old-money family standing at the pinnacle of power.

The System gave him two mandatory missions: first, confess to the male lead; second, drug the male lead, take photos, and use them to threaten him into dating.

Then he could happily head off to prison!

Only an idiot would do that, right?

But… Sen Lin chose to be that idiot.

Before the story began, Sen Lin helped an injured student. His name was Qiu Xie, a Chinese-American, a physics prodigy of the highest caliber.

But before long, the two unexpectedly ended up in bed together.

When they woke up, they were in a large bed.

Sen Lin tried to sit up, but his waist wouldn’t cooperate, and he fell back down.

“I’ll take responsibility.” Qiu Xie came closer, slipped his palm behind Sen Lin’s back, and helped him sit up.

Sen Lin opened his mouth. “…I’m not gay.”

He turned his back to get dressed, then glanced down at the scattered marks on his body. His fingers paused.

Sen Lin thought they’d never cross paths again, but he saw Qiu Xie once more.

Looking at the man covered in injuries, Sen Lin’s compassion got the better of him. “Hide in here. Don’t make a sound.”

The tall, broad-shouldered man curled up inside the cramped supply cabinet in the infirmary. Through the gap in the door, he watched Sen Lin’s face in silence, his gaze intent.

But it wasn’t until the mission began that Sen Lin learned Theo Tobias and Qiu Xie were the same person!

Sen Lin completed the second mission, and his threat worked.

After that, the man held him in his arms every night, their breaths mingling.

Sen Lin trembled all over and turned his head away.

“Don’t get distracted.” The man leaned down and bit the tip of his ear.

Sen Lin’s body instantly melted like water. Even the thought of resisting was licked away.

[Reading Guide]

① Both are each other’s first and only; one-on-one pairing; size difference: 196 × 181. A touch of harem-protagonist appeal. Other men will like Sen Lin, but he only responds to Qiu Xie.

② A dramatic, elite American university and melodramatic plot. The focus is on the couple falling in love.

③ An alternate-universe America, not based on reality. No real people or names; please don’t connect it to real life.

Coming soon: From Asian Rookie Cop to New York Mayor, 1989

Qi Qi transmigrated.

The good news was that he was still a police officer after transmigrating.

The bad news was that he’d landed in New York, still known as the “Capital of Crime,” as a rookie Asian cop.

The good news was that he’d transmigrated into an American TV series he’d watched.

The bad news was that it was a chaotic mash-up of who knew how many shows, and the plot was already a complete mess.

New York in 1989 was a city the whole world held up as a cautionary tale.

It was a city in the process of rotting.

Excess and extravagance were its skin; absurd, melodramatic chaos was its blood and bones.

“Capital of Crime,” “The Big Apple gone bad,” “A city committing suicide”: that was what everyone called it.

Manhattan’s skyscrapers still soared, and people on Wall Street’s trading floors still made fortunes overnight.

But step outside those narrow streets and the city revealed its true face.

Gang tags covered the walls. Used syringes littered the grass. Drug dealers and prostitutes stood beneath the neon lights at night.

A financial titan on Wall Street watched his company teeter on the brink of bankruptcy after a mysterious short seller targeted it overnight.

In a private room on the Upper East Side, a powerful political figure personally interrogated a bloodied informant.

In an abandoned Brooklyn warehouse, an undercover cop took the top seat in a criminal gang, while the former godfather died with his eyes open.

…

Meanwhile, in the Bronx, a young man named Qi Qi pushed open the doors of the 43rd Precinct, unaware of where the road ahead would lead.

The Bronx’s 43rd Precinct.

The highest crime rate, the worst public safety in the city. The police called it “the dump.”

Officers sent there had either messed up and been banished, or offended someone and been punished.

Qi Qi was the third kind.

No one could have imagined that this powerless, low-ranking Asian cop would one day become a major force shaping America.

[Highlights]

① A nobody’s rise, from rookie cop to New York mayor.

② Straight male heartthrob, with lots of one-sided crushes. One-on-one ending. The pairing is with an undercover cop who becomes a godfather: lovers who clash as much as they fall for each other.

③ Alternate-universe America, a mash-up of American TV dramas. Entirely fictional, so please don’t connect it to reality.

④ A brainless power fantasy, no logic required.

Theme: Even things that seem impossible can often succeed if you dare to try.
