Background
Jiang Wangshu was bought from human traffickers by the man he knows as his father. He considered attending Easton Academy an escape from home, where his father tormented him 13 36.
At Easton, Jiang entered as a special-admission student. After he stood up for his roommate Wang Yue, the student council targeted him, and other students kept their distance. Wang Yue eventually moved out, blaming Jiang for the trouble 2.

Personality
Jiang is defiant toward people who abuse their power. He spat in Huang Zhenghao’s face during a beating and later refused to apologize to him. He also rejected He Zhenglin’s offer of help, holding F4 responsible for enabling the student council’s bullying 1 11.
He is deeply affected by kindness but reluctant to burden others. After Jimo rescued him, Jiang tearfully said that no one had treated him so well since he enrolled. He later concealed the extent of his injuries so Jimo would not worry 2 5.
Jiang can be calculating as well as stubborn. He arranged for Professor Mosi to witness a student council attack, seeking the professor’s intervention, and used a decoy strategy to secure a tie in the riding-ground game 17 25 26.

Story Role
The original fate
Jimo’s system identifies Jiang as the male lead of the novel Jimo entered. According to the system, Jiang’s apparent happy ending conceals a tragedy: F4’s heirs marry women of matching status, restrict Jiang’s freedom when he tries to leave, and he ultimately dies by suicide. Jimo’s mission is to prevent F4 from becoming interested in him 1.
Student council bullying
Jimo interrupts a bathroom assault by triggering the sprinklers and deletes the forum post that could have produced the photo drawing F4’s attention. He takes Jiang to his dorm, where Jiang begins to trust him 1 2.
The attacks continue. After Jiang is hospitalized with a fever, Jimo discovers his dorm has been ransacked. On returning, Jiang deliberately lets student council members attack him so Professor Mosi can catch them in the act 13 17.
Riding-ground game
After Jiang quickly learns to ride, He Zhenglin draws him into a contest against the student council. Jimo objects to Jiang competing alone, and nine special-class students are added to his team 19 21 23.
Jiang lures the opposing team away while Wang Yue hides with five name tags, securing a 5:5 tie. Chen Ziwu kicks Jiang during the pursuit, injuring his waist; He Zhenglin then threatens a humiliating punishment if Jiang’s side loses another game 25 26.
Birthday banquet
After Jiang returns home to deal with his father’s demands for money, an agreement allows him to return to school. At He Zhenglin’s birthday banquet, Jiang is made to wear a bunny-girl outfit. When a guest restrains and gropes him, Jimo intervenes and tries to take him away 36 40 41 42.
He Zhenglin blocks their departure, and Jimo agrees to a card game for their release. Jiang takes part and secretly returns He Zhenglin’s weakening card. After the party, Jiang helps Jimo prepare for his transfer exam and accepts his invitation to visit during the break 43 45 48 49.
