Ji Shunian was the most prominent young man at the aristocratic academy: the most distinguished family, the best looks, and the most admirers. One day, he woke up to discover he was actually the villain in a harem novel set at an elite academy.
In the original story, the transfer student Cheng Zhixing arrived at the academy and immediately won the affection of all the male leads. Meanwhile, Ji Shunian, consumed by jealousy and resentment, constantly targeted the newcomer. He even tried to hire someone to disfigure Cheng Zhixing, and committed plenty of other crimes. In the end, the male leads could take no more. They joined forces to bankrupt the Ji family and send Ji Shunian to prison. Cheng Zhiyan, meanwhile, worked hard and built his own business empire.
After reading the original story, Ji Shunian thought: ...Are you people out of your minds? These few guys bankrupt my family? Give them another two hundred years and they still couldn't do it. And being jealous of Cheng Zhiyan's looks and trying to disfigure him? Not a chance.
The whole plot sounds like a hallucination after eating poisonous mushrooms. ^ ^
Still, Ji Shunian took another look at Cheng Zhiyan's face, then thought about the business empire he built in the original story.
The guy really was good-looking, and he seemed pretty capable, too! He'd make a great underling!
"Hey, from today on, you're with me. I'll look after you from now on."
Cheng Zhixing looked up, bowed obediently, and kissed his hand.
"As you command."
