    This is the first non-CP (no romantic pairing) boy band novel I've ever read! I personally think it's great and really suits my taste, I especially love it 🥰. Some people might find the beginning a bit hard to get into, but if you've read a lot of this type of novel, you can give it a try! The male lead transmigrates into the body of a parallel universe's original owner with the same name. Because the original owner was just a "pretty face" in the group, he had a lot of haters. But after the male lead transmigrates, he gradually changes and becomes the group's darling. Later on, there will be explanations for why the original owner had so many negative traits, and there are also side stories. In short, I recommend it! PS: If you read a few chapters and still can't accept it, you can just click exit. I personally like this kind of thing 😋
