Adapted SUMMARY:

Yun Yingzhi is the delicate and beautiful second son of the Imperial Marshal’s family. Despite his privileged birth, he’s seen as fragile and only as an otherworldly beauty in a world where power, strength, and beastly “second forms” define one’s worth.

Admitted into the Royal First Military Academy through family influence rather than merit, Yun Yingzhi struggles to find his place. Every student there possesses formidable animal forms—tigers, leopards, bears—but Yun Yingzhi’s second form is a small white rabbit, symbolizing weakness and innocence.

After a disastrous ending to his first relationship, Yun Yingzhi decides to use his secret weapon to show his ex that he isn’t just a pretty face. He hides that he is a gifted Source Weapon manufacturer—an artisan capable of creating powerful energy-based weapons.

Yun Yingzhi decides to enter the galaxy’s source weapon competition held once a year but he does so anonymously to not let his family know. However, his quiet student life unravels after an unexpected encounter with Elvis, the only prince of the Loos Empire. After an unexpected mishap during a social event, Yu Yingzhi ends up pregnant…with no memories of how it happened. The only thing he knows is that he woke up naked beside Prince Elvis.

 

Original SUMMARY:

Yun Yingzhi is the second son of the Imperial Marshal’s household. Aside from his flawless, breathtakingly beautiful face, he didn’t possess any particularly special qualities. Relying on his good family background, he entered the Royal First Military Academy through the back door.

His classmates’ secondary forms were all ferocious beasts—tigers, leopards, bears, lions, wolves… Only he was the odd one out among the predators. His secondary form was a soft, adorable little rabbit.

During an unexpected social event, an accident occurred, and he had to take a year’s leave from school—during which he gave birth to a baby bunny whose form matched his own. When the little one turned one year old, Yun Yingzhi returned to the First Military Academy.

The little one missed his father terribly. A week later, the little kit, whose secondary form was identical to Yun Yingzhi’s, welled up with tears, and—tiny paws pattering—made his way alone to the military academy in search of his daddy. The little kit looked heartbreakingly pitiful.

Facing the towering, imposing walls of the academy, he bravely marched into the den of tigers, leopards, bears, and lions. Like a newborn calf unafraid of tigers, he had no sense of his own weakness and fearlessly growled at everyone he saw.

There had always been a hierarchy of suppression among species—higher-grade secondary forms naturally dominated the lower ones in the genetic chain.

But the little one was stubborn to the core, unflinching in the face of danger. Every time he growled, an invisible force of pressure accompanied his cries, leaving the tigers, leopards, bears, and lions dazed and bewildered.

In the Eastern Seas, there was said to be a creature called Hou—a beast shaped like a rabbit. Though small in size, it could fight dragons.

Yun Yingzhi stared at his fierce little bun, his mind slowly forming a gigantic question mark. All along, it seemed… he might have been completely mistaken about what he really was.

Fansa Academy was the Empire’s First Military Academy. When Yun Yingzhi woke up that morning, he immediately logged onto the academy’s official website to check whether the list of participants for the upcoming Ranking Battle had been announced. Every year at the end of the term, the Empire’s Ten Great Military Academies held a friendship competition, known as the Ranking Battle of the Ten Great Military Academies.

The participants of the Ranking Battle were usually chosen about two months after the semester began, selected according to their academic performance. Yun Yingzhi knew himself well. As someone who had entered the Empire’s First Military Academy through family connections, he knew it was impossible for him to be selected as a member of the Ranking Battle.

However, while he couldn’t, his boyfriend of over half a year could. Unlike Yun Yingzhi, who had relied on influence to get into Fansa Academy, Huai Boshe—who also came from a prominent family—had been admitted as the top student of his class.

Soon, Yun Yingzhi found Huai Boshe’s name among the list of students posted on the academy’s website. Those chosen for the Ranking Battle were generally upperclassmen in their third or fourth year. Yun Yingzhi and Huai Boshe were both sophomores. The Ranking Battle did accept a few second-year students, but those selected were always the very best of their year—students who excelled in all areas with outstanding overall performance.

When Yun Yingzhi saw Huai Boshe’s name on the sophomore list, he felt a genuine surge of happiness for him. He immediately sent Huai Boshe a video call request. The connection tone rang for about thirty seconds before the call went through.

A projection of Huai Boshe appeared on the screen. It was one of those rare mornings without early classes, and Huai Boshe clearly hadn’t woken up yet. His light amber eyes were half-closed as he blinked drowsily at Yun Yingzhi and murmured, “Oh, Yingzhi. Morning.”

Yun Yingzhi’s smile deepened. “A-She1, congratulations!”

Huai Boshe rubbed his eyes and asked, “What happened?”

“You’ve been selected,” Yun Yingzhi said. “Your name’s on the list for this year’s Ranking Battle!”

Huai Boshe froze for a moment before his eyes lit up. He sat up halfway in bed, and the soft blanket slid down, revealing his toned body. He had the habit of sleeping nude. As Yun Yingzhi took in the sight of Huai Boshe’s bare chest, the healthy bronze of his skin, and the defined lines of his eight-pack abs, his face flushed crimson. Even through the projection, his gaze darted away instinctively, unable to look directly.

Huai Boshe asked, “Yingzhi, what about A-Yao2? Was she selected too?”

Yun Yingzhi frowned slightly.

The announcement schedule for the Ranking Battle participants varied every year. He had only managed to see it so quickly because he’d been refreshing the academy website daily these past few weeks.

Huai Boshe’s greatest strength lay in his individual combat ability. From the moment he entered Fansa Academy, he had maintained the top rank in his grade. But when it came to selecting participants for the Ranking Battle, the first and second years were evaluated more on overall development. Because of that, even though Huai Boshe had stood out for his combat skills as a freshman, he hadn’t been chosen at the time.

The “A-Yao” he was asking about—Yun Yingyao—was Yun Yingzhi’s younger sister. This year, she was the freshman representative of Fansa Academy and the top student of her class. The three of them had grown up together. Yun Yingzhi understood why Huai Boshe cared about Yun Yingyao, but he couldn’t help feeling a little jealous. After all, he and Yun Yingyao were only a year apart, yet the difference between them was painfully large.

In the Empire, some people could transform into a second form. Those who did had a certain chance of awakening special combat abilities. This transformation was a basic requirement for admission into the combat divisions of the Ten Great Military Academies. Second forms were ranked by level—the higher the rank, the stronger the power. 

When Yun Yingyao was three years old, she had manifested her second form—a polar bear, covered in pure white fur. She had awakened several rare ice-based abilities and possessed exceptional strength both in solo and group combat.

Compared to his sister, Yun Yingzhi could only feel crushed. He deeply envied his younger sibling. His own second form was… a little white rabbit.

Even now, the Empire still kept white rabbits like him as adorable household pets. Their fur was smooth and silky, their ears long and floppy, their tails short and fluffy—sweet, harmless little things that looked gentle and well-behaved.

In the Yun family, the eldest brother’s second form was a raptor, the youngest sister’s was a fierce beast, and only Yun Yingzhi was a fragile little white rabbit with no combat power at all. Madam Yun disliked him deeply. She considered Yun Yingzhi the disgrace of the family. In contrast, General Yun and Madam Yun doted endlessly on Yun Yingyao.

Because so many people around them favored Yun Yingyao, Yun Yingzhi hoped that at least his boyfriend would not be overly concerned about his sister. He pressed his lips together, staring at Huai Boshe through the screen, and said unhappily, “Why do you always care so much about A-Yao?”

Huai Boshe chuckled. “Yingzhi, A-Yao is your sister. We’ve all grown up together—of course I care about her.”

“I don’t even care about her that much,” Yun Yingzhi muttered.

“Alright, alright, don’t be mad,” Huai Boshe said soothingly. “Was A-Yao selected too?”

“I didn’t check. I only looked for your name.”

“Hold on,” Huai Boshe said. “Let me see if A-Yao was chosen.”

Yun Yingzhi blinked, momentarily dazed. He wasn’t sure if he was just imagining it, but it always felt like Huai Boshe paid too much attention to Yun Yingyao. Even as her brother, Yun Yingzhi had never been that interested in her. Then again, he thought, maybe that was because they were only a year apart and had spent their entire childhood competing for their parents’ affection. Their relationship had never been the kind of normal closeness siblings were supposed to have.

He shook his head to clear his thoughts. Boshe was the one who confessed first, he reminded himself. He likes me. There’s no need to overthink it.

Huai Boshe cared about Yun Yingyao simply because she was his sister. Trying to calm down, Yun Yingzhi opened the academy’s online forum on his personal holographic panel to check whether Yun Yingyao’s name appeared among the selected students.

But Huai Boshe beat him to it. The corners of his light amber eyes curved with joy, and his voice was bright as he said, “Yingzhi! A-Yao was selected!”

Yun Yingzhi felt a mixture of awe and resignation. “Of course she was. She’s amazing.”

Huai Boshe nodded eagerly. “Yeah! I’ll contact her right now and tell her the good news!”

Yun Yingzhi froze, his mind blank for a second. By the time he processed what had happened, the video call had already been cut off. His eyelid twitched. Staring at his personal terminal, he hesitated for a few moments before sending another call request.

A system voice replied almost immediately: The recipient is currently busy. Please try again later.

Moments like this only confirmed Yun Yingzhi’s uneasy suspicion—Huai Boshe’s concern for his sister seemed… excessive. And it really didn’t feel normal.

Frustrated, Yun Yingzhi ran his fingers through his hair, feeling his patience fray. His three roommates looked up from their bunks and asked with concern what was wrong. Like him, they were all members of Fansa Academy’s lowest-ranked combat class—the so-called “tail-end” group. Each of them had ended up there for one reason or another.

Yun Yingzhi briefly explained the situation with Yun Yingyao. His roommates were all astonished.

The one closest to him, Yu Feiwen, exclaimed, “Congratulations to your sister! Even our grade’s top student didn’t qualify for the Ranking Battle as a freshman. For her to get in during her first year? That’s seriously impressive in every way.”

The other two chimed in with their congratulations as well.

Yu Feiwen asked again, “But you don’t look very happy. Did something bad happen?”

Yun Yingzhi thought for a moment, his gaze serious as he looked at his three roommates. “It’s something that happened to my friend,” he said.

The three exchanged subtle glances. In their unspoken understanding, “a friend” often meant the speaker was actually talking about themselves. They didn’t call him out and kept the same serious expressions, staring at Yun Yingzhi.

He chose his words carefully. “It’s like this… I have a friend, and he has a girlfriend…”

The three roommates immediately straightened, their faces suddenly very serious.

Yu Feiwen narrowed his eyes. “You have a girlfriend?”

“Who is she?” Another roommate stepped forward and grabbed Yun Yingzhi’s hand.

“Why have you never mentioned her before?” the third roommate asked.

The atmosphere in the four-person dorm became tense, the three roommates looking as if they were facing a major crisis.

Their exaggerated reactions made Yun Yingzhi freeze. Nervously, he touched his lips and said, “…N-no, it’s not like that. I don’t have a girlfriend. It’s just… it’s my friend.”

Under Huai Boshe’s request, their relationship had been kept secret. Yun Yingzhi didn’t mind being open about it. Huai Boshe had said that since they were both boys, and both sons of Empire generals, and still students, it wasn’t ideal for others to know about their relationship.

Hearing Yun Yingzhi’s explanation, the three roommates finally believed him. The tension dissolved instantly. What Yun Yingzhi didn’t realize was how differently he was seen by others.

In his eyes, his sister Yun Yingyao was a genius—gifted with a powerful second form and unparalleled skills from childhood. From the moment she entered the academy, she was admired by everyone, many calling her a goddess.

But in the eyes of most Fansa Academy students, Yun Yingzhi, currently in the sophomore tail-end class, stood out among a group of second forms that included tigers, leopards, bears, and lions. The only exception was him—his second form was an adorable, soft, snow-white rabbit, about 30 centimeters tall.

Even without considering his cute second form, Yun Yingzhi’s most captivating feature was his face: soft black curls, jet-black eyes, a high nose, and naturally red lips. His features hit almost every aesthetic mark. People couldn’t help but look at him, and over time, they naturally grew to like him.

Each year, Fansa Academy held a vote for the most beautiful and handsome students. Since Yun Yingzhi entered, he had always taken the lead, claiming the title effortlessly. As a male student, he was the academy’s first male beauty. With his looks, Yun Yingzhi’s fame at Fansa Academy rivaled any genius student, even surpassing that of his sister Yun Yingyao.

Some people who had never seen Yun Yingzhi in person would say he had nothing but his face, calling those who liked him shallow. After meeting him, they didn’t retract their statement, but they often added, “I didn’t realize before seeing him… that I’m just shallow!”

Under the watchful eyes of his three roommates, Yun Yingzhi continued. “So… my friend’s lover… cares very much about my friend’s… friend.” He changed the word “sister” to “friend” to avoid making it obvious.

“How much care are we talking about?” Yu Feiwen asked, curiosity piqued.

Yun Yingzhi paused, counted on his fingers, and said, “That lover notices what the friend eats for breakfast, what he likes, the people he usually interacts with; also whatever happens to him, that lover pays more attention than my friend himself does…”

He counted all ten fingers, listing every little detail of his and Huai Boshe’s time together.

Yu Feiwen poured a glass of water and handed it to Yun Yingzhi.

He took a sip, easing the dryness in his throat just enough. “Am I overthinking? Is it an illusion? That lover seems especially attentive toward the friend.”

Yun Yingzhi was already jealous!

Yu Feiwen took the glass from Yun Yingzhi’s hand and set it on the nearby table. “Your friend isn’t imagining things,” he said.

Yun Yingzhi furrowed his brows. So he wasn’t overthinking it? He hesitated, then added, “But… it was his lover who confessed first!”

“Yingzhi, your friend with a patch of green over his head3… and the friend who gets all that attention from the lover… their relationship—is it really that close?” another roommate asked.

Yun Yingzhi’s eyelid twitched. Instinctively, he looked up, feeling that familiar patch of green hovering overhead. He thought, He and Yun Yingyao were siblings, not especially close, but bound by unbreakable blood ties. After a moment of silence, he said, “It’s… like the relationship between real brothers.”

Yu Feiwen patted Yun Yingzhi on the shoulder. “Then let your friend and the lover split up.”

“Not breaking up with this kind of lover who has someone else in their heart, are they going to wait until graduation?” one roommate said.

Another added, “They already have a whole green meadow over their heads.”

Yun Yingzhi instinctively glanced upward again, imagining an amplified version of that lush green meadow. He thought for a moment, then couldn’t help but say, “But… it was the lover who confessed first, so that must mean… the lover likes him… right?” 

The more he said it, the less certain he became.

Yu Feiwen climbed onto Yun Yingzhi’s bed and sat down.

One roommate said, “Yingzhi, you’re thinking way too simply.”

Yun Yingzhi frowned. “No, I’m just thinking… if the lover didn’t like him, why confess?”

Yu Feiwen shook his head. “I’m guessing that before confessing to your friend, that lover must have confessed to your friend’s… friend first.”

Yun Yingzhi froze, his expression completely stunned. A massive question mark formed in his mind. Had Huai Boshe confessed to Yun Yingyao before confessing to him?

Translator Notes:

  1. 阿涉 Nickname for Huai Boshe 懷博涉 using the last character in his name
  2. A nickname. Chinese nicknames are commonly created using 阿 (a) and a character in the person’s name
  3. In China, “wearing a green hat” means being cheated on.  The legend is that a woman made a green hat for her husband to wear so that her lover would know when her husband left the house. So having this patch of green over his head is like saying he’s wearing a green hat or being cheated on.
