An Honest, Straight-Laced Guy Enters an Elite Academy

[I’m very sorry. I can’t handle writing the bottom character, and I’ve run out of creative energy. I’ve decided to make this novel free to read.]

Lin En is an honest, unassuming nobody who has spent eighteen years living timidly and miserably.

Girls are always giving him the “you’re a nice guy” treatment. When classmates pick on him, he only dares to complain to himself. His greatest hobby is playing farming games and being a cyber farmer.

One day, Lin En transmigrates into an aristocratic academy that mixes together several different worlds.

He discovers that he has become an utterly ordinary beta, with five eccentric alpha roommates.

Roommate No. 1 is a certain danmei novel’s top. He keeps asking, “You have a crush on me, don’t you? Why don’t you feel inferior when you see me?”

Lin En is helpless. He doesn’t fall for men, and he certainly doesn’t go around feeling inferior.

Roommate No. 2 is a Korean webtoon’s top. He keeps asking, “You owe a hundred million yuan, right? Just sleep with me, and you can pay it off immediately.”

Lin En is desperate. He wouldn’t even dare dream of a hundred million yuan, much less sleep with a man.

Roommate No. 3 is a certain web-novel site’s top. He’s aloof and taciturn. When he sees Lin En bathing, he stammers, unable to get the words out: “You, [censored]. I, [censored].”

Lin En finds it strange. How can such a handsome guy be unable to talk?

Roommate No. 4 is a certain fiction site’s top. He’s warmhearted and kind, and keeps quietly asking him, “Baby, I know you have a secret. I can help you, and I promise no one else will find out.”

Lin En is bewildered. What secret could he possibly have? And why is this roommate’s gaze so inexplicably ardent?

Roommate No. 5 is a Qidian top. He keeps asking him, “Buddy, why are you getting more and more fragrant? Can I have a sniff?”

Lin En is confused. They’re supposed to be comrades in arms. Why does this guy keep sniffing the back of his neck?

Later, Lin En somehow gets pregnant. He doesn’t know who the father is, and can’t bear to end the pregnancy, so he can only sneak away.

But four men catch him and corner him, demanding to know which one he wants to be the child’s father.

Lin En suspects they’ll beat one another to death no matter whom he chooses, so he timidly says something astonishingly bold: “Can’t we all get along and be friends? Please don’t fight.”

At this, all four men turn cold.

Roommate No. 1: “I’ve marked you over and over until your gland is nearly ruined, and we’re still just friends?”

Roommate No. 2: “You cried and called out in my arms, your belly swollen round, and we’re still just friends?”

Roommate No. 3: “We’ve already [censored]. How can you still think we’re friends?”

Roommate No. 4: “Baby, that’s not funny. We’re only friends?”

Roommate No. 5: “You clawed my back until it was covered in scratches, and left my lips swollen. We’re still just friends?”

Honest Lin En can’t answer. All he wants is to escape this world.

1. The bottom is an honest, straight man: slow on the uptake, wooden, and a little goofy and ridiculous.

2. All the tops are virgins. Angsty, dog-blooded harem story.

---- Advance Notice: The Unlucky Widower Keeps Getting Time-Stopped ----

Lu Zhiyu is intensely jealous and loves showing off.

After graduating from college, he marries a man for money.

His husband is a sickly man in a wheelchair. Lu Zhiyu only has to wait for him to die to inherit a huge fortune.

But after his husband dies, Lu Zhiyu discovers that the fool was drowning in debt.

On the day of the funeral, the chapel is packed with creditors, all elegant, distinguished men in suits.

Lu Zhiyu looks at these powerful men in despair.

Fortunately, the next day he gets a golden finger.

[Ding! The Widower System is online!]

[Every Friday, a man will enter the Host's bedroom.]

[During this time, the Host will fall unconscious and be unable to move, but will remain aware.]

[The next day, as long as the Host identifies the man who entered the bedroom, he can plunder 50% of that man's resources.]

At first, Lu Zhiyu suspects his late husband's younger brother. The little brat calls him sister-in-law, yet is always trying to move into his room.

Later, Lu Zhiyu suspects his late husband's former boss, who acts cold and ascetic but secretly collects his clothes.

Then, Lu Zhiyu suspects his late husband's classmate, who keeps using the excuse of looking after his friend's wife to stay at the house indefinitely.

Finally, Lu Zhiyu realizes that everyone around him is suspicious. It seems they have all been in his room.

Who could it be?

*

Lots of men have secret crushes on Lu Zhiyu, but he has a terrible temper, is petty, and is straight.

Luckily, these men have all acquired the ability to stop time.

Every Friday, one of them can use this ability on Lu Zhiyu.

But if Lu Zhiyu catches them, they lose their time-stopping ability, so the men are doing everything they can to keep up their disguises.

Who will get caught first?

---- Advance Notice: The Straight Man's Gold-Digging Scheme Backfires ----

The thing Lin Le regrets most in his life is saving seventeen-year-old Chu Ji by the river.

He regrets even more that, at twenty, he pretended to like men so he could make money to pay off his debts, and started dating Chu Ji.

If he had never met Chu Ji, then no matter how hard life was, at least he would still be free. He could get married, have children, and live an ordinary life.

But now, he’ll be tied to a man forever.

One day, he can’t take it anymore and tells the truth, hoping to break up.

Chu Ji doesn’t scold him. Instead, he forcefully traps him in his arms. “Lin Le, you’re already completely used to me. You even dare to ask for a breakup...”

Lin Le stammers out an explanation. “I, I don’t like you. It was because of the money...”

He can’t get another word out. He can only sob without stopping, crying until he faints.

*

Chu Ji often wonders whether there’s any point in staying alive. It isn’t until he meets Lin Le that he discovers the pleasures of life.

Lin Le can only be a private bedside lamp in his bedroom, not a sun hanging high in the sky to shine on others.

For this, he’s willing to carefully plan everything and take absolute control of Lin Le’s life.

---- The Vicious Cannon Fodder Turns into a Cute Creature Whenever He Acts Badly ----

Lu Jianing is an arrogant, overbearing young master with exceptional looks, living a life where everyone dotes on him.

But he has a secret he can’t bring himself to reveal.

For example, he’s jealous that the top student gets good grades, so he drags him into the equipment room and bullies him.

Just as he forces the top student to kneel, he shrinks into a tiny dwarf rabbit, curls up in the other’s palm, and stamps his hind legs in fury.

Another time, he’s jealous that his childhood friend has caught the goddess’s eye, so he locks him in a room and bullies him.

He’s barely slapped him twice when he turns into a cockatiel and pecks at him furiously.

Then there’s the time he’s jealous of his older brother’s excellence, so he drugs him unconscious to play a prank.

As soon as he starts, he turns into a cow cat and curls up in his brother’s arms, meowing coquettishly.

And another time, he can’t stand how nice his junior schoolmate is, so he asks him out to pick on him.

As soon as he starts hitting him, he turns into a little beagle, flapping his big ears and yelping.

*

Later, Lu Jianing learns that he’s a vicious cannon-fodder character. Whenever he does something bad, he turns into a cute creature for three days.

And the animal he turns into changes depending on which protagonist he bullies.

He makes everyone he bullies keep his secret and forbids them from telling anyone.

The stupid men are obedient enough and don’t blab. They just keep eagerly asking him to bully them.

Lu Jianing thinks they’re shameless and unworthy of being protagonists.

One day, however, they corner him and demand answers, looking furious.

“Ningning, wasn’t I the only one who knew your secret?”

Oh, he just told the secret to four different people and asked them all to keep it at the same time.

What’s wrong with that?
