1. The Backstory
Yin Xu thought his family’s wealth was enough for him to live off for three lifetimes. Thus, he spent over a decade happily being a salted fish and was the notorious ‘Little Overlord’ of Luhe No. 3 High School.
Unexpectedly, the family business went bankrupt. His father was imprisoned, his mother remarried, and the young master Yin Xu became a struggling delivery boy overnight. On the 10th anniversary of his high school graduation, while his old classmates were posting party photos on social media, Yin Xu was delivering food in a torrential downpour. He was tragically struck by a truck—only to wake up and find he had been reborn back into 2011, his sophomore year of high school!
Looking in the mirror at his Shamate hairstyle—dyed red with bangs covering half his eye—Yin Xu’s vision went dark. He thought: “I’d rather just go back into the cycle of reincarnation than look like this.”
2. The Plan
Now that he’s back, Yin Xu decides to turn over a new leaf. He vows to study hard, get into university, and become a self-reliant youth! The Delinquent Overhaul Plan begins:
-
Step 1: Get rid of the Shamate hair.
-
Step 2: “With no women in my heart, my sword-play will be divine.” Yin Xu clears out the mountain of love letters hidden in his desk.
-
Step 3: Find a reliable Straight-A student to tutor him.
Yin Xu scans the room and locks onto the perfect target: Shen Que. His lackeys are shocked to see their once-mighty boss following the grade’s top student around like a lost puppy, acting cute and begging for help.
“Student Shen, if I buy you premium memberships for your Q.Q Space, will you tutor me?”
“Brother Shen, I literally can’t live without you in this life!”
However, the next morning, when Yin Xu stops Shen Que at the school gate to offer him milk, Shen Que calmly declines: “Student Yin, please stop giving me breakfast and snacks. Otherwise, people will think you’re pursuing me.”
Yin Xu: “…”
The Students: Gasp. “What’s going on?!”
The Lackeys: “Boss! Since when do you like pretty boys like Shen Que?!”
Yin Xu: “You guys know nothing. Pretending to be head-over-heels for him is just part of my plan. Watch me take him down in three days!”
3. The Consequences
A few months later, late at night, Yin Xu posts an anonymous thread on a forum: “I accidentally turned the grade’s top student gay. What do I do? Waiting online, urgent.”
Netizens: “First! OP, give us the details.”
Yin Xu: “I accidentally fell asleep while we were watching TV. What does it mean if he secretly kissed me?”
Netizens: “He kissed you? How did it feel?”
Yin Xu: “His lips were soft and smelled good. By the way, I’m not gay.”
Netizens: “…Wow. Your lips are certainly harder than his.”
Mini-Theater
Yin Xu: “Bro, calm down. I don’t want your body, I want your grades! Let’s hold off on the confession. Just tell me how to solve the last physics problem first.”
Shen Que: “Calling me ‘Hubby’ will get you the answer.”
Yin Xu: “I’d rather die! How about this: if you help me get into the top ten in the next exam, I’ll be with you.”
Shen Que: “Deal.”
[After the exam results are posted] Shen Que: “…You are hopelessly stupid.”
Yin Xu: “Hubby, don’t give up on me! I can still be saved! o(╥﹏╥)o”
