The 1980s: Disguised as a Boy at an All-Boys' School, Even My Mad Dog of an Enemy Has Fallen for Me

[Alternate 1980s] [Disguised as a Boy] [Male Rivalry] [Everyone's Favorite]

Before Grandma breathed her last, she personally cut off Wen Zhao's waist-length hair.

"Zhaozhao, that face of yours is a curse, not a blessing. From today on, you're Wen Yang. Go to the capital. The Zhou family will protect you."

Eighteen-year-old Wen Zhao took her grandmother's final letter and entered the Zhou household in the capital disguised as her younger brother.

She thought she would simply be living under someone else's roof. But when Zhou's father saw the frail "boy" before him, he frowned, waved a hand, and sent her straight to a strictly disciplined military academy, where she would keep company with his unruly younger son, Zhou Yi'ang.

Zhou Yi'ang was the Zhou family's most incorrigible little devil. After being forced into military school, he went even wilder, snapping at anyone who crossed his path.

The first time he saw Wen Zhao, he looked her up and down with disdain. "Where'd this weakling come from? Get lost."

Living under the same roof, Wen Zhao was on edge every day. She had to endure inhuman physical training and jostle against a group of male classmates overflowing with testosterone. Even taking a shower meant sneaking around like a thief.

She was especially cautious around Zhou Yi'ang, terrified of letting even the smallest slip show.

But this mad-dog of a young master seemed to take a liking to bullying her. Making her tidy up was routine, and he was merciless during training.

Wen Zhao gritted her teeth and never fought back. Her dewy eyes were full of stubbornness and restraint.

Gradually, Zhou Yi'ang began to feel that something was wrong. Why did he get inexplicably irritated when he saw someone else patting "him" on the shoulder? Why did his gaze keep following that slender figure without him realizing it?

Just as he was finally about to face these strange feelings, the other predators lurking at the academy began to stir.

Then, during a field exercise, an accident occurred. The pretty mute boy on her team caught sight of Wen Zhao's back as she squatted to relieve herself, and his eyes went wide.

Wen Zhao pinned him firmly against the corner of a wall, her eyes red as she threatened him in a low voice: "Say a word, and you're finished!"

The mute boy blushed scarlet and nodded frantically.

From then on, she was the only one in his eyes.

And this was only the beginning of Wen Zhao's secret identity being exposed.

As her sworn rival who always clashed with her, the cold and impartial drill instructor, and the clingy youngest who pouted and wheedled their way into her world one by one, each with an attitude that left no room for refusal,

the usually most arrogant Zhou Yi'ang finally panicked.

That night, he cornered her in an empty equipment room, eyes red and voice hoarse as he pleaded: "Zhaozhao, don't look at them... Just like me, okay?"
