[Top-tier beauty, a sharp-tongued spoiled heir (Sheng Yi) × a gloomy, starving ghoul of an ML (Fan Ling)]
1.
After enduring eighty-one heavenly tribulations, Sheng Yi failed to withstand the final bolt. He closed and reopened his eyes, only to fall into a novel called The F4 of the Elite Academy Are Madly in Love. It was a terrible novel.
This was a story of obsessive love and ruthless possession, centered on the mistreatment of a specially admitted student, the protagonist and shou.
001: Host, your mission is to play the cannon-fodder gong, avoid going OOC, complete the key plot points, and make a perfect exit! If you refuse, you'll be punished with an electric shock.
Sheng Yi flicked the glowing orb in front of him away with one finger and sneered. "A noseless, faceless thing dares to threaten me?"
Sheng Yi wasn't afraid of a little electric current, but his cultivation had been wiped out, and even his hair had been singed. To ascend again, he accepted 001's mission. The cannon-fodder gong he was supposed to play was a transfer student.
The cannon-fodder gong was sharp-tongued, arrogant, and conceited, and never followed the rules. At the strictly hierarchical academy, he looked down on everyone and especially tormented and humiliated the protagonist shou, all because of his twisted love for him. In the end, the protagonist shou's four gongs joined forces to kill him, and he died violently in the street.
Sheng Yi was born to play this cannon-fodder gong.
2.
A transfer student arrived at Holston Academy, causing a huge stir on the first day of term. His face was as lovely as a peach blossom, but his personality was vicious to the extreme. If anything displeased him, the moment he opened his mouth, his words made people wish they were dead.
Fan Ling, the cannon-fodder shou, was small and thin, with pale skin and red eyes. Rumor had it he had albinism and couldn't even be out in the sun. As a specially admitted student with neither power nor connections, he was bullied year-round. But nobody knew that he was actually a vampire with an eating disorder.
When he encountered Sheng Yi, he was lying facedown in a foul-smelling ditch, while this godlike figure looked down at him with disgust.
With the blood moon overhead, resentment took hold of him. He pounced on Sheng Yi, rubbing the stench all over him. Sheng Yi cursed incessantly, so Fan Ling bit down on his mouth, drawing blood.
The foul, metallic blood flowed into Fan Ling's mouth. Fighting his nausea, he spat out the bloody froth.
"Disgusting."
Those were his first words to Sheng Yi.
3.
The cannon-fodder gong forcibly kept the cannon-fodder shou by his side. He was hopelessly in love with the protagonist shou, and when Fan Ling covered his eyes, he looked remarkably like him.
In this life and his last, Sheng Yi had never been called disgusting. But he had to follow the plot and interact with Fan Ling, treating him as a stand-in for the protagonist shou.
When Fan Ling bit him and called him disgusting, Sheng Yi kicked him hard in the face, forcing this dog to say he loved him. It was his way of getting even.
Then one day, Sheng Yi cleansed his meridians and marrow, purging all the impurities from his body. After he accidentally got hurt, everything changed. Fan Ling kept staring at him with those strangely red eyes for no reason, even swallowing nervously.
Once again, the wretched dog pinned him in a corner. Blood poured from his neck, and Sheng Yi grew weak in Fan Ling's arms as he was bitten. His curses gradually became sobs, and even the tears that fell were licked clean.
Fan Ling said he smelled delicious.
4.
Sheng Yi died.
He died in Fan Ling's arms.
He had always loved using the word "love" to disgust Fan Ling, but as he lay dying, Fan Ling kept whispering that he loved him.
[Reading Guide]
1. One-on-one sweet HE, both are each other's first. Dog-blood drama + (pseudo) stand-in + faked death.
2. The gong doesn't die × the shou lives forever.
3. The gong is starving in the early part of the story. Once he gets enough to eat, he grows incredibly fast into a handsome, muscular miner.
4. Major warning: The gong is absolutely, outrageously crazy and has little sense of morality. Please decide for yourself whether it's for you. The shou may cross-dress.
Theme: Out of eight billion people, there's bound to be someone who understands you.
