After Transmigrating into a Noble Academy as Cannon Fodder

A money-minded, jack-of-all-trades top x a gorgeous, arrogant, flamboyant bottom who gets jealous easily and overthinks everything

Blurb:

Lu Yan opened his eyes to find himself a nobody among the students at an elite academy, a powerless assistant-in-training everyone could bully.

The original owner had been used as free labor by rich second-generation heirs. Worse, he had been hopelessly infatuated with the highborn villainous bottom, making him the laughingstock of the entire school and a prime target for bullying. In the end, he was expelled for framing the protagonist and died miserably on the streets.

Lu Yan was so hungry his vision blurred. He punched the rich kid who'd been exploiting him for free labor, knocked him to the floor, then flashed a QR code.

“An iced Americano is 85. The delivery fee is 8,500. Cash or scan to pay?”

Rich kid: ??????

#New road to riches: fleece the bullies for all they're worth#

He'd play games for people, run errands, shop on request, catch mistresses, fix plumbing, walk Tibetan mastiffs, and sell freshly braised pig intestines outside the school gate... As long as he was paid, Lu Yan would do anything.

Insult him? Fine, but he'd charge emotional damages by the character.

#Think bigger: turn every bully into a customer#

The bullies went from furious to stunned to numb. Then they realized they couldn't beat Lu Yan, outargue him, or outdo him in shamelessness. Fuming, they complained to Shen Yufeng:

“Young Master Shen! Lu Yan's completely out of control. He's extorting us and corrupting the academy's values! Just say the word and he'll be expelled!”

That pauper Lu Yan didn't know his place. He actually dared to covet the second young master of the Shen family. Shen Yufeng must have been itching to kill him for ages!

But in the shadows of the corridor...

The flamboyant, dazzling Second Young Master Shen, whose presence could fill a room, was now nestled in Lu Yan's arms. His voice was thick with affection, edged with the lazy annoyance of someone whose fun had been interrupted.

“I offered you a ten-million-a-year allowance to be my kept man, and you turned me down. Wouldn't taking care of me be easier than dealing with these losers?”

!!??

Everyone froze in place, eyes bulging, their worldview shattered.

As Shen Yufeng held his face and forced a kiss on him, Lu Yan found himself wondering the same thing as everyone else:

How had the villainous bottom, who'd been infatuated with the protagonist top and treated Lu Yan like trash, ended up clinging to him?

Reading guide:

1. Top's point of view. Both leads are strong. Lu Yan is the top.

2. The bottom is Shen Yufeng. Early on, he has one-sided feelings for the original novel's top, but this takes up very little space and never becomes a real relationship. Once the top transmigrates into the story, he only has eyes for the top.

3. The bottom is a tsundere with a fiery temper: irritable with everyone else, sweet only to the top. “Sweet” doesn't mean feminine or coquettish (there's nothing wrong with being feminine). He gets jealous, learns to behave, and even worries that the top won't like him enough to quit smoking.

4. The bottom is a bit sharp-tongued early on, so please go easy on him.

****Neither lead is perfect, and they both have room to grow. This may not suit fans who are strongly attached to one character type! Important, in bold and underlined!!****
