I Have My Eye on the Nobleman's Familiar [Apocalypse Academy]

[Dystopian] [Pactcraft Academy] [Strong and determined, pure-love warrior heroine] [First-person narration] Blurb (romance): From the moment I took a liking to Shi Nian, there was no turning back for me. I want him. I don't care whether he has already made a pact with someone else. I tried so hard, but everyone around me kept getting in my way. "Miss Geng Wan, I'm sorry. I've already become the young master's familiar," he said. "Geng Wan, stop indulging that sick obsession of yours!" his pactmaster said. "Little pactmaster, why don't you consider me instead?" another familiar said. I turned a deaf ear, clinging to optimism and determination, until I grew tired. One day, I told Shi Nian that I was giving up on him. The next day, Shi Nian disappeared from the academy. When I saw him again, he had become someone I no longer recognized. A monster with a horrifying smile reached out to me with its bloodied, mangled hand. [I... can... make a pact with you now... Miss Geng Wan...] [You still... want me... don't you?] Blurb (plot): In the future, the world has fallen. Baicheng, one of the few surviving cities, has built an academy on its outskirts. The children chosen to attend study the pactcraft used to summon and control familiars. Every semester, they must face an examination. Those who fail are eliminated. Those who pass every examination graduate and earn the right to venture beyond the city to fight monsters. What lies beyond Baicheng? What are the monsters outside the city like? The children know nothing about it. All they know is that the graduates who venture outside never seem to return. 1. A devoted, proactive, pure-love warrior pactmaster heroine × a familiar who seems cold on the outside but has long since fallen apart within 2. The male lead is Shi Nian, but two other male characters also like the heroine. All the male characters are virgins. 3. The main cast starts out as children. They speak and think like children, and they will grow up. 4. First-person narration, niche tastes. If it's not for you, please don't be cruel.
