Two country bumpkins arrived at the elite academy.
They were Zhou Zhou and his childhood friend, who followed him around.
One was beautiful and vain, the other wooden and quiet.
Zhou Zhou relied on his good looks to shamelessly take advantage of everyone around him. His greed was obvious to all.
The young masters and misses at the elite academy didn't take him seriously. They treated him like a mouse, building him up only to laugh at him later.
Whenever Zhou Zhou was humiliated, he would pretend to stay calm, then take all his anger out on his childhood friend.
The young masters and misses had secretly witnessed this a few times, and it only made them despise Zhou Zhou more.

Until one afternoon, a few young gentlemen happened to see the usually arrogant Zhou Zhou curled up in the arms of his battered follower, crying so hard he could barely breathe.
The follower, however, seemed used to it. He wrapped one arm around the person in his embrace and bent down to kiss him. The young man's eyes reddened from the kiss, but he still tilted his head back, as if he had long since grown accustomed to it.
The rich young masters stared fixedly at that beautiful face covered in tear tracks, none willing to look away first.
They began to envy the follower Zhou Zhou was always picking on.

Tong Bao transmigrated into a harem novel and became the protagonist's love interest.
He knew the plot inside out, and knew that his quiet childhood-friend follower was actually a young master from a wealthy family who had been missing for years.
He came from an ancient and prestigious family.
If Tong Bao showed him kindness before his background became known, he could be the first to secure his future power and affection.
Again and again, Tong Bao made the vicious male supporting character lose face in public. Then, when Zhou Zhou took out all his anger on his childhood friend behind closed doors, Tong Bao would show up to comfort him.
But the other boy was impervious to persuasion, determined to be Zhou Zhou's punching bag.
The only time Tong Bao ever saw him lose his composure was when Zhou Zhou, in a fit of anger, slapped one of the young masters.
His eyes were bloodshot as he grabbed Zhou Zhou's hand, his voice trembling. "Why did you reward him?"
