Setting the Aristocratic Academy Straight

Complete Song Xingqiu was a ruthless self-made entrepreneur. Just as he was about to expand his business empire, he transmigrated into the body of a good-for-nothing rich kid several generations removed from the family fortune. The rich kid couldn't lift a finger, had no work ethic, and thought of nothing but bleep-bleep-bleep-bleep... wicked ideas that would get censored if they were put in a blurb. Then, at the insistence of his father, a rich man one generation closer to the fortune, he returned to the country and enrolled in an elite academy. The students there were all disasters just like the original owner of his body. Every day, they either bullied their classmates or made their debut at school. His nephew had started a group called F4 and become the school's biggest star, doing the most inhuman things imaginable. He'd casually corner the poor scholarship student, who excelled in both conduct and academics, in the bathroom and bully him. When Song Xingqiu saw it, he punched his nephew right in the face. If you can't be saved, does that mean you have to drag other people down with you? From then on, Song Xingqiu set out on the road of no return: reforming the school's culture. [F1] F1 knew he had a younger uncle who shared his father but not his mother. His family had sent the uncle overseas when he was little, and he was notorious for being a spoiled playboy. He'd come home once in a while for the New Year, and F1 had seen him twice. He looked like he'd been doing... things. His eyes were sunken, his face pale, and his whole body was as thin as a reed. He didn't look like he'd live to see twenty. At first, F1 didn't care when he heard his uncle was coming home to attend his school. Then a man with rosy cheeks, handsome features, and a tall, lean figure, who looked bursting with vitality, appeared in front of him. F1's entire worldview shattered. What shattered it even more was that his good days were over. Every day, he was forced to study, forced to be kind to his classmates, and forced to become an exemplary heir to a business empire. He considered secretly asking his dad for help. Apparently, his father and uncle had always been distant because they shared a father but not a mother. But when his dad heard what his younger uncle had been making him do, his usually stern father gave the uncle a fawning smile and even lit a cigarette for him himself. His uncle promptly snuffed it out. "Minors aren't allowed to smoke." F1 was desperate. [The Bullied Poor Little Flower] For the generous scholarship, the poor little flower came without hesitation to an academy full of nobles. Every day, he had to put up with his classmates' mockery and F4's bullying. Until Song Xingqiu appeared. He punched F1 back and gave him a safe haven at school. From then on, the poor little flower couldn't take his eyes off Song Xingqiu. [F2] F2 was the student council president, gentle and refined, and made people feel like they were enjoying a spring breeze. He was the only "good person" in F4. But no one knew that in private, he was gloomy and extreme, with a calculating mind. That was, until Song Xingqiu became his roommate. Every day, he had to go running with Song Xingqiu in the morning and at night. Song Xingqiu seemed to have an endless supply of energy. After exercising every day, F2 didn't even have the strength to hurt himself anymore. The student council work he'd once hated became his refuge. F2 always took all the blame upon himself and cleaned up after his subordinates. But right in front of him, Song Xingqiu flung a stack of papers at the face of a department head who'd made another mistake and said coldly, "You made the mistake, so you fix it yourself." Then he turned to F2 and said earnestly, "If you handle things this way, you won't learn the skills a manager needs to lead people, and you'll waste a lot of time." F2's heart stirred, and the way he looked at Song Xingqiu changed. Song Xingqiu continued, "You'd be better off training with me." F2: "..." Thanks, but no thanks. [F3] F3 was a top student, aloof and arrogant, and looked down on everyone. Since childhood, he'd followed his father around, learning finance and how to become the perfect heir. He was proud of his business achievements. Until he heard his father tell the legendary story of how Song Xingqiu had raked in tens of billions of federal credits overseas. Coming Soon: Transmigrated as a Villain, I Became the Dragon Proud Sky's Spirit Pet A shameless, comfort-loving, lie-flat bottom x a cold, ambitious, cultivation-obsessed top 1. Song Qingdu transmigrated into a book as a demon-clan villain who was destined to hand the male lead opportunities and gear. The bad news: The male lead of this book followed the lone-wolf, level-up-alone route. Not only did every villain who opposed him die, but even all his good friends died. Anyone who got involved with the male lead had their odds of survival plummet. From powerful cultivators to ordinary mortals, no one could escape their fate. It was an absolute nightmare of a dungeon! The good news: Becoming the male lead's spirit pet came with immunity. As it happened, Song Qingdu was a beast, and a rare spirit beast with phoenix blood in his veins. The human cultivators of the cultivation world were all eager to get their hands on him. To save his life, he volunteered to become the Qi Refining male lead's first spirit pet, despite having a Golden Core cultivation base. And as a holy beast with demon-clan blood that was destined to be sacrificed, Song Qingdu worked for the male lead by day and went back to his clan at night to be their ornamental holy son. Spirit pets may get to live, but they still have to work! But it was fine. The male lead's enemies were low-level too, since he was still in the beginner village. Song Qingdu could mow them down with ease! When he ran into someone with a lower cultivation level, Song Qingdu said, "Leave this to me!" When he ran into someone at the same level or stronger, Song Qingdu said, "Master, help, I'm just a little vegetable! QAQ" Song Qingdu became the male lead's strongest ally in the early stages, especially when the male lead had lost his family and was being bullied by his fellow disciples. Song Qingdu was the only one he could trust with his whole heart. His position was obvious. Later, when the male lead took on new and powerful spirit pets, Song Qingdu's workload plummeted. Naturally, he began enjoying an early retirement, eating and drinking well. By day, he feasted on the resources of the male lead, the chosen one of this world. By night, he enjoyed his share of the resources as the demon clan's holy son. Whenever he had time, he taught the new spirit pet underlings a thing or two. He even took advantage of his villain secret identity to bully his "master" now and then, right up until the day his own face-slapping plot was supposed to arrive. When the demon clan tricked and forced him into a sacrifice, he successfully had the male lead beat him to the point of self-destruction in front of the assembled demons, gifting the male lead his heaven-defying opportunity. As a result, the demon clan suffered a crushing defeat. From then on, there was no more demon-clan holy son named Song Qingdu in the lower realm. 2. It wasn't until right before the male lead ascended. When one person attains the Dao, even his chickens and dogs ascend with him. Though Song Qingdu didn't have the male lead's cultivation, he could hitch a ride with him to the upper realm. As the male lead ascended, Song Qingdu exploited a loophole in their contract from years ago, broke it, and regained his freedom. As the male lead stared in shock, Song Qingdu transformed into human form, revealed his true cultivation, brushed himself off, and ran! Hahahahahaha! The calamity-bringing male lead had ascended. From then on, the lower realm would be the backyard of his ancestor Song! He had no desire to follow the male lead to the upper realm, cultivate all over again, and suffer being hunted down all over again. He chose to live like the strongest person in the lower realm! Song Qingdu returned to the demon clan with the highest cultivation in the lower realm. To everyone's horror, he tracked down every person who'd bullied or threatened him back then and dealt with them one by one. From then on, the name Song Qingdu shook the world! Song Qingdu enjoyed a carefree life in the lower realm for a full thousand years! 3. A thousand years later, with his lifespan nearly over, Song Qingdu had no choice but to ascend. He furtively planned to find a quiet place in the upper realm and lie low. But as soon as he ascended, the immortals seized him at the Ascension Platform and delivered him straight to the male lead. Only then did he learn that over the past thousand years, the male lead had become the strongest person in the upper realm. His first order upon taking that position had been to search the entire upper realm for Song Qingdu. Song Qingdu looked nervously at the male lead, who was now several cultivation realms stronger than him. He was on the verge of tears. It was over. This time, he was really going to die. The male lead sat above him, regarding him carelessly. After a long while, he grabbed a huge handful of pills and stuffed them into Song Qingdu's mouth with a faintly amused smile. Song Qingdu: What a cruel heart! He wouldn't even give him a quick death. He had to poison and torment him, too! Then Song Qingdu chewed. Huh?! They were all high-grade pills that could increase his cultivation! Song Qingdu stared at the male lead in shock. The male lead calmly continued feeding him pills that other cultivators would fight tooth and nail to get even half of, and said coldly, "You don't want to be my spirit pet?" Song Qingdu nodded without thinking... then shook his head frantically. He did! He was willing! The male lead gave a cold laugh. "It's fine if you don't want to be one." Song Qingdu: ??? Had he gone deaf after a thousand years apart? He said he was willing! Did he hear that? He said he was willing! Song Qingdu seethed. So he was still going to kill him after all. The male lead said coolly, "If you don't want to be my spirit pet, you can be my Dao companion instead." Song Qingdu: Gah?! Theme: Establishing a sound worldview
