The Dragon-Proud Protagonist Enrolled in the Wrong Noble Academy

Shi Huaibai is a Dragon-Aotian type. One day, the System pulls him into a noble academy world, where he becomes a timid, cowardly, impoverished student.

Shi Huaibai: "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Don't look down on a young man..."

Before he can finish, a whole line of Lamborghinis comes speeding up and parks in formation. At the end of the convoy, a Rolls-Royce Phantom brings up the rear. The chauffeur opens the door respectfully, and the F4 step out with effortless elegance.

Shi Huaibai: "..."

Bro, are you even more of a show-off than me!?

The System tells Shi Huaibai, "The F4 are the four people at the top of the noble academy food chain. They live in luxury and are cold-hearted. So, what's our mission?"

Shi Huaibai: "Easy. I'll take four underlings! Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish. I'm taking back everything that's mine!"

System: "Bro..."

1.

F1 is the student council president, a fake gentleman and a real scoundrel. He often puts on a warm, considerate act, but he's rotten to the core beneath that polished exterior.

At first, F1 just thinks of Shi Huaibai as a pretty little puppy: obedient and adorable, good for carrying bags, serving tea, and coming whenever he's called and leaving whenever he's dismissed.

At an auction, Shi Huaibai stares intently at the item before him. "There's nothing in this world I don't want, and nothing I can't get!"

He boldly bids on a worthless rock, raising the price by ten million at a time. He's so determined to win the rock that he casually throws down twenty million.

"Wait, stop! You can't!" As F1 watches in horror, Shi Huaibai suddenly grabs his hand and interlaces their fingers.

F1 freezes. "Huh..."

They're holding hands?

Is the pretty puppy... acting cute?

Then Shi Huaibai lets out a shout and raises the hand interlocked with F1's.

"Light up the auction!"

Our Dragon-Aotian knows his way around an auction, all right!!!

Obedient little puppy: No, no, no!

Beagle king: Go, go, go!

2.

F2 hates clingy parasites who depend on others. They may look delicate and beautiful, with soft, boneless bodies, but they're nothing more than bloodsucking midges.

Like the "new dog" he's recently noticed at F1's side: Shi Huaibai.

F2 keeps hearing about Shi Huaibai by accident. He even comes across Shi Huaibai's pictures being discussed and fawned over on the academy forum whenever he happens to browse it.

So F2 casually comments, "He's just a gold digger. What's so great about him?"

A forum user replies, "The person above has insulted every single post about Shi Huaibai, then clicked into every single one. Is this a hate-following superfan?"

F2 flings his phone down. "I... I haven't!"

Later, when he "happens to run into" Shi Huaibai, he sneers. "Just as I thought, you're a gold digger!"

Shi Huaibai gets it. "So this is a duel between men!"

He promptly throws F2 over his shoulder, leaving him half-paralyzed. "Even heaven has exceptions, but if you defy me, there's no way out. Now understand who you're supposed to submit to."

That night, a new comment appears on a hate-following post about Shi Huaibai: [Which family's pretty-faced wolf cub is this? Get lost.]

3.

F3, a flirtatious and debauched art student, sees Shi Huaibai for the first time at the auction and is struck dumb by his beauty.

He tries to keep Shi Huaibai like he used to keep his other lovers, transferring money, sending flowers, buying him bags, arranging dates, and lighting candles every day.

"The blue gum tree is poisonous, and nothing grows around it, but it allows the mistletoe bird to perch in its branches. Pretty, isn't it?"

Shi Huaibai: "Looks nice."

"This perfume is A Rose by MFK. It's made from the first drop of dew extracted from 250 Grasse roses, and represents love beyond gender."

Shi Huaibai: "Smells great."

F3: "Blah blah blah... luxury cars."

Shi Huaibai: "Nice car."

F3: "Blah blah... a fireworks extravaganza."

Shi Huaibai, distracted: "Tastes good."

F3: "Huh? What???"

You really are an NPC-level straight guy.

4.

F4 is elusive, and treats Shi Huaibai with indifference.

After a while, Shi Huaibai stops throwing himself at a cold shoulder. "You ignore me today, but tomorrow you'll be begging for my attention. Do you even know whose love you're rejecting? A god's love."

While away on a business trip in Northern Europe, F4 occasionally recalls Shi Huaibai's impossibly beautiful face and loses himself in thought. He thinks, Crap, Shi Huaibai really has caught my attention.

The day he returns to China, F4 walks out of the airport and sees the face that has kept him up at night.

"It's been ten years." F4 is stunned. Did Shi Huaibai wait ten years for him?

Shi Huaibai, now a great success, gives a slight nod. "You're back?"

F4's voice catches. "Yes."

Shi Huaibai: "It's been ten years..."

Then he changes tack. "The ten-year deadline has arrived. The weather's getting cold, so the Wang family should go bankrupt! Just you wait!"

"I'm going to acquire your company."

Coming soon: Good Turtle, Don't Be So Love-Struck

A supremely unbothered, naturally adorable little turtle who loves stars, as the bottom, and a cold-faced Dragon-Aotian who washes his underwear, as the top.

Qi Yigui is a little turtle with a quiet, lazy personality. Every day, he slaps the protagonist, splashes red wine on him, pushes him into a pool...

Yes, he's played a vicious cannon-fodder character in many different worlds.

At last, the light of destiny shines on his shell. The Main God is finally giving him a System. He's getting promoted!

This time, he's the protagonist!

The mission will definitely be fun and easy. O(∩_∩)O

System: [In this world, you are the vicious cannon fodder in a web novel. You are arrogant, despicable, extravagant, debauched, and guilty of every evil under the sun. You kicked your stepmother's son out of the house, and he was left to beg in the streets and starve to death.]

Qi Yigui: "..."

O_o?

Isn't that still a vicious cannon fodder?

System: [But now, your younger brother has been reborn, and his true identity is a Dragon-Aotian. He's wild, domineering, and cruel, and he hates you most of all: the hypocrite who hides his evil nature behind a gentle facade. He wants revenge. He'll take your inheritance, steal your friends, ruin your youth, and destroy your life!]

Qi Yigui packs his luggage into his shell. "Goodbye, System. Goodbye, Quick Transmigration Administration."

System: [Wait, wait, wait! As long as you listen to me, everything will be fine.]

Qi Yigui pokes his little head out of his shell. "So what do I do?"

System: [Isn't it obvious? Wash the Dragon-Aotian's underwear, make him pastries, care for him and ask after him, and move him with your meticulous attention! Then he'll give up on taking revenge on you.]

Qi Yigui feels a little sick.

(-_-|| )

So I've been given a love-struck System that makes me suffer for no reason!

That night, under cover of darkness, he slips a little sleeping medicine into his younger brother's dinner.

Once his brother has passed out, he sneaks into the room with one shoulder bare.

Then...

He throws his love-struck System into the Dragon-Aotian's brain!!!

"Go bind yourself to the Dragon-Aotian!"

Hmph. That love-struck System is even more vicious than me.

Qi Yuan has been reborn. In his previous life, he was deceived by his stepbrother, who shared neither his father nor his mother, and gave up all his inheritance rights. In the end, his stepbrother kicked him out of the house.

Now he's back, and he's even gotten a System!

He's going to take back everything that's his

System: [Our mission is to do your older brother's laundry, make him pastries, care for him and ask after him, and move him with your meticulous attention! Then he'll soften up and stop targeting you.]

Qi Yuan: "..."

Bro?

Later,

Qi Yuan scrubs away at his older brother's underwear with a cold expression, muttering, "I'm going to get revenge. He'll regret everything."

I'll wash the carrots in the kitchen with water, poke a hole in Yigui's condom, pretend I forgot to buy the wontons he likes...

Coming soon: The Ninth-Rate Shadow Guard Raised a Mad Prince

A beautiful, powerful, gentle shadow guard who is barely alive, as the bottom, and a classic-era madman, as the top.

Wu Youyu is a shadow guard who spends every day silently loafing on the rafters. He uses his light-footed skills to slip away and clock out on time, and puts off every mission until the very last moment.

Over time, everyone comes to think he's a ninth-rate shadow guard with poor martial skills.

"The capable get more work, the incapable get less. That's the good life!"

The missions he receives are relatively easy: keep an eye on the twelve-year-old prince born to a concubine and neglected by everyone.

Wu Youyu: "OvO"

What a perfect job for slacking off. What a wonderful life.

Clearly, three taels a month means you work like you only get three taels a month.

Hanging from the rafters, he watches the illegitimate prince being treated even worse than the Noble Consort's dog, ordered around and bullied.

I don't even have to do anything. This prince will die soon anyway...

Wait...

If he dies so soon, won't I get another mission soon?

If I finish my work quickly, they'll just give me more work!!!

And so...

Shen Yuance is shoved into a deep pit, left in darkness, and on the verge of starving to death. When he looks up, he sees a furtive figure.

He's seen too many people kick someone when they're down. His heart turns cold, and he expects stones to rain down on him.

Instead... a rice ball drops from the sky.

Wu Youyu throws three rice balls to the little prince. Two are snatched away by birds, so he grits his teeth.

"Heave-ho!" He throws down a zongzi!

Shen Yuance is an un favored prince.

His mother was a fool who fell and died while walking at night, and the child she gave birth to is a little fool afflicted with madness.

At four, a palace maid pushes him, injuring his leg.

A rumor spreads through the palace: The stupid prince is four and still can't walk.

At five, the Noble Consort slaps him until his cheek swells.

People outside the palace gossip: The stupid prince is five and still can't talk.

At twelve, he discovers that a "ghost" has moved into his room. The ghost seems terrified that he'll die.

When he's confined, the ghost secretly drops food for him.

But... it's a culinary nightmare...

When he's sick, the ghost pours medicine down his throat while he's unconscious.

All kinds of poison. Fighting poison with poison.

When he can't sleep, the ghost even gently lulls him to sleep: "Once upon a time, there was a corrupt official. He died, and someone pulled out his intestines and wrapped them around his neck. His eyes bulged out, and his eyeballs fell to the ground..."

Shen Yuance: "..."

He was raised well, at least... he stayed alive.

Even though he had never seen the ghost's face,

Even though the ghost was clumsy,

When the "ghost" disappeared without a trace when he was sixteen, Shen Yuance went mad.

He launches a coup, kills everyone at court, and searches for the ghost over and over. The palace is plastered with faceless portraits, and the outside is covered in missing-person notices. Officials who keep shadow guards are dragged away and tortured, while palace staff who don't keep them are hauled off for questioning.

Wu Youyu escapes and lives carefree in a faraway place where the emperor's reach can't touch him, renting a little house.

One day, he buys a rice ball like the ones he used to eat and tosses it around in his hand.

The door creaks open.

The candlelight flickers.

Shen Yuance, who should be in the capital, sits at the table, his eyes pitch-black and his white robes making him look like a widower.

On the table are the culinary nightmares Wu Youyu used to prepare for Shen Yuance. His master and fellow shadow guards have been tied up and thrown in a heap in the corner.

Shen Yuance picks up his bowl and chopsticks, his voice so intimate it seems they were never apart. "Let's eat."

Coming soon 3: The Useless Husband and the Second Male Lead Fiancé

Qi Mu is just a wage slave. He works nine to five, puts in overtime every day, and comes home exhausted.

He has no energy and no worldly desires.

His coworkers envy him for getting together with his first love. Being able to go public as a gay couple is impressive.

But Qi Mu knows the truth: his relationship is already over. His partner cheated on him with a twink.

Qi Mu's partner is a rich second-generation heir.

In his partner's eyes, Qi Mu is useless, spineless, and utterly forgettable.

He gets cheated on, then has to make breakfast for three before work: himself, his partner, and the man his partner cheated with.

After each affair, when he sees Qi Mu looking like an honest man in his apron, his partner feels guilty and coolly transfers him some money.

Qi Mu: "Huh?"

Wow.

I don't have to go to a shitty job, and neither does my dick.

Wouldn't it be great if things stayed this way?

It's fine. He and his partner don't have any feelings for each other anyway.

Until one day, his new boss approaches him with grave sincerity. "Xiao Mu, I think your boyfriend is cheating on you."

Qi Mu immediately covers his ears. "Hearsay isn't proof. Seeing is believing. I trust him."

Don't pull me into this.

I like being a useless, blind husband.

Xi Youjin is tall, handsome, rich, powerful, and cheerful, with open-minded parents. People who like him are lined up from City A all the way to France.

The night his fiancée runs away with someone, he has a dream.

He dreams that this world is just a book, and that he's the second male lead who got left at the altar. Xiao Mu, who works at the same company, has it even worse: he's a "useless husband who's been cheated on."

All right, then!

He's definitely going to save Xiao Mu!!!

To help Qi Mu wake up to the truth as soon as possible, Xi Youjin goes to great lengths to catch his boyfriend cheating.

Xi Youjin finds the scumbag's hotel records and forwards them to Qi Mu.

Qi Mu looks heartbroken. "My darling must be exhausted from his business trip."

Xi Youjin sends him a five-minute sex video of the scumbag and his mistress.

Qi Mu clutches his chest like Xi Shi. "AI face-swapping technology is terrifying these days."

Xi Youjin runs into the scumbag having dinner with his mistress and hurriedly sends Qi Mu the location.

Qi Mu immediately replies, "Mr. Xi, given our relationship, inviting a married man like me to a romantic restaurant feels a little ambiguous."

Xi Youjin: "Open your eyes and look!!!"

Qi Mu: "..."

Come on,

today, too, I'll pretend my eyes are empty.

Xi Youjin thinks Qi Mu is a lovesick fool, but... a little cute.

Later, after failing to help Qi Mu catch his boyfriend cheating for the ninety-ninth time, Xi Youjin storms over to him.

Since the scumbag cheated first, he can't blame me for stealing his man.

His clothes are disheveled, wet fabric clinging to his skin. He rubs water across Qi Mu's face and backs him into a corner, his fingers brushing Qi Mu's wrist. Qi Mu, who claims to be impotent, is already trembling.

Xi Youjin acts like nothing is wrong.

"Xiao Mu, Xiao Mu, my clothes are wet. I'm going to take a shower at your place. Your boyfriend won't be mad, will he?"

"Tell me, why does your boyfriend never come home?~"
