Silent Desires (YiZhan)

Xiao Zhan, a bright but financially struggling middle-class boy, earns a prestigious scholarship to an imperial crest university dominated by the wealthy and privileged. Knowing he'll stand out-and likely face ridicule or bullying-he decides to blend in, carefully mimicking the mannerisms, fashion, and even the careless arrogance of his affluent peers. He becomes a shadow among them, silent but observant, never drawing attention to himself.

Enter Wang Yibo, the university's most enigmatic rich heir-cold, aloof, and utterly uninterested in the shallow social games of his peers. Yet, something about Xiao Zhan's quiet presence intrigues him. While others flaunt their wealth, Zhan's silence feels deliberate, his humility unnatural for someone in their world. Yibo, bored by the predictability of his life, finds himself drawn to Zhan, testing him with subtle provocations, trying to unravel the mystery behind his guarded demeanor.

One night, by chance, Yibo stumbles upon the truth-Xiao Zhan isn't one of them. He's a scholarship student, a boy from a modest background pretending to belong. Instead of exposing him, Yibo is fascinated. Here is someone who has played the game better than any of them, surviving in a world designed to crush outsiders.
Now, Yibo faces a choice: reveal Zhan's secret and watch him fall, or protect him!!!
