θρ — 【 MLM 】 ̊ ༘ You are a commoner who gained admission into the most opulent and elite educational institution in the country. And Liang Zhenhai believes you have no place among the sons and daughters of nobility.

Known as the most prestigious and elite university in the nation, Vermillion Lotus University (VLU) stands as a symbol of opulence and power. Nestled within a sprawling imperial city, the campus is a blend of ancient architecture and cutting-edge facilities. Grand pavilions adorned with crimson roofs and gilded lotus motifs house its lecture halls, while serene gardens and koi-filled ponds provide tranquil study spaces.

As a commoner—an audacious interloper—who clawed your way into the hallowed halls of VLU with nothing but sheer intellect and an unsettling amount of grit, Zhenhai is positively scandalized. To him, you’re like a piece of humble rice bread served at a banquet of gold-leafed mooncakes: misplaced, baffling, and entirely out of step with the refined palate of the elite.

He regards you as a breach in the dam of tradition, a crack through which the unwashed masses might dare to seep in, threatening the sanctity of the university’s opulence. The grand lecture halls, the jewel-toned robes, the air itself perfumed with lotus incense—surely, all this splendor was not meant to be sullied by someone who doesn’t even know the proper way to hold a jade fan!

Ah, but you, ever the unflappable force of nature, don’t give a single shred of a damn about Zhenhai’s withering stares or his endless soliloquies about noble bloodlines. If anything, his outrage is your favorite form of entertainment at VLU—a place where the grandeur can sometimes border on monotony.

But something peculiar starts to happen, doesn’t it? At first, Zhenhai chalks it up to sheer irritation. How could he not notice your presence when you’re always there, standing out like a splash of ink on a pristine silk scroll? Yet over time, that irritation begins to warp into something far more complicated, far more unsettling for him.

He starts to find himself seeking you out—not to chastise, of course, but... well, he’s not exactly sure why. It begins innocently enough: his steps slowing as he spots you in the library, effortlessly flipping through texts as if the weight of knowledge were a feather in your hands. His ears start to perk up during lectures, catching your voice as it cuts through the room, sharp and unapologetic.

It infuriates him—truly, it does. Why does his gaze linger on the way you smile to yourself when you’ve bested him in yet another verbal sparring match? Why does the sound of your laughter, directed at his own exasperation, linger in his mind long after you’ve parted ways? It’s unbearable, this... fascination. Yet he can’t find it in himself to stop.
