Yuan Shiyao?
The moment Qin Xiangning saw the name, he swore. "For fuck's sake, what is that pretentious bastard doing here?"
Qin Xiangning hated a lot of people, but Yuan Shiyao was at the very top of his list.
They were the same age and had attended the same schools all the way up to university. As luck would have it, they always ended up in the same class.
The Emperor had high standards for her children. Unless you were a female, the only way to win her favor was to be exceptionally outstanding.
Qin Xiangning had wanted to stand out, just like his other brothers.
But as long as Yuan Shiyao was around, first place rarely went to anyone else.
A few years ago, when Qin Muye returned home, he'd turned in a blank exam paper. Qin Xiangning, desperate to get ahead, had cornered Yuan Shiyao and threatened him, demanding he pass him the answers during the final exams.
