Plot
Lin Yan has transmigrated into a cliché Noble Academy novel.
The protagonist “Shou” (submissive lead) of the original book is a positive, gentle, and kind scholarship student. Right at the start of school, he offends the academy’s F4 one after another. After a series of “tsundere” realizations, male competition, and “crematorium” pursuit of the wife, the story reaches an Open Ending (OE).
The only thing worth mentioning is that the original author, seemingly to satisfy certain readers’ love for “immoral/taboo” literature, specifically gave the protagonist Shou a boyfriend.
Lin Yan has transmigrated as that boyfriend.
He isn’t any member of the F4; he is just an ordinary scholarship student. Gloomy, pale, and a wavering “fence-sitter.”
Yet, the protagonist Shou still loves him to the point of being unable to extricate himself. When the protagonist Shou is locked in a “dark room” by F2, Lin Yan secretly helps him escape, only to be shot dead, becoming a mere link in the angsty “S&M play” and reaching his exit from the story.
The timing of Lin Yan’s arrival is actually quite good.
Although the original body is currently being bullied for offending the F4, at least he hasn’t gone to act as a “beauty” yet, hasn’t been played like a fool by F1, and certainly hasn’t been shot dead by F3.
Lin Yan is not interested in the love-hate entanglements of the main characters.
He stops doing the foolish things described in the original book. Instead, he breaks up with the protagonist Shou cleanly and decisively, gradually distancing himself from the campus disputes to focus wholeheartedly on the things he loves.
What Lin Yan fails to notice are the spying eyes in the dark, the mysteriously disappearing clothes, and the increasingly gloomy, obsessed gazes.
They are all waiting—waiting for a legitimate opportunity to coil their prey into their arms and devour him whole.
The original plot is collapsing; everything is spiraling out of control.
