[A gentle, sickly, powerful bottom x a boy band full of tops]
Su Yan raised his younger brother on his own and struggled to make it in show business. On the day he won a major award, he suddenly died and accidentally transmigrated.
When he woke up, he had returned to ten years before winning the award.
Only, this was some kind of "ABO world," and he was in a boy band.
The group was falling apart. Here, he wasn't the gentle older brother his younger brother trusted at home, but a good-for-nothing, sickly Omega.
And he had to hide his identity in a group made up entirely of Alphas.
All five members were talented, but the company was neglectful and misunderstandings among the group members had brought them to the brink of disbandment.
Su Yan was bound to a System. It wanted him to help the group in this world achieve a happy ending and win the major award.
In return, it would cure his illness and send him back to his original world.
Su Yan: Who wouldn't want to live a healthy life?
Besides... Su Yan looked at the young, determined faces that reminded him of his little brother, and his heart softened.
He knew that disbanding now would mean the company would blacklist them.
These kids all had dreams, but a series of misunderstandings had brought them to this point. He couldn't bear to see it.
So he agreed.

The day Su Yan was reborn was also the day they were supposed to sign the disbandment agreement.
Su Yan refused to sign. He made a bet with them: if he couldn't change their minds about disbanding by the time they finished filming their last group variety show, he would never bother them again.
Su Yan: You've got to be kidding. Back home, I could always keep my own little hellion in line.
Su Yan was in poor health. He was the second-oldest member of the group, with four rowdy younger brothers below him and a cold, stern leader above him.
Su Yan seemed gentle and mild, but he had plenty of tricks up his sleeve. He'd once kept his own little hellion of a younger brother in line with ease.
But in this world, the cold, ruthless Alpha leader seemed to have a grudge against him and wasn't falling for any of his tricks.
Su Yan: Tch, what a pain dealing with an ice-cold face.
The younger brothers, who seemed "harmless," looked like they'd be easier to win over.
But the younger brothers were actually plotting to make Su Yan's life difficult so he'd agree to disband as soon as possible.
"Brother Su, this dance needs two people. Can you help me practice it?"
The good-for-nothing's stamina is terrible. He won't even make it through one run. He'll be completely exhausted and give up for sure.
Instead, Su Yan helped him master the dance and stayed up late drilling the moves with him, making him shine on the variety show.
But Su Yan caught a chill and developed a fever the next day. He hid it because he didn't want to affect his younger brother, who felt awful when he found out.
Later, one of the younger brothers said, "It's dark at night and I'm scared. Can I sleep with you?"
Netizens: [At night? Are you even making sense?]
Su Yan thought he'd comforted his younger brother: "You're still a kid. It's okay to be a little scared."
Netizens: [Are you seriously okay with the way he's looking at you like he wants to devour you whole?]
But the cold, unyielding leader remained unmoved, even going out of his way to avoid Su Yan.
Su Yan: That ice-cold face is such a pain.
Su Yan had kept the fact that he was an Omega hidden from them. In this world, Omegas hadn't gained equality like Alphas and Betas had.
So Su Yan needed regular suppressant shots to hide his identity.
Su Yan always thought the leader hated him, until one time, when he put himself at risk for the group and was deliberately induced into an accidental heat. At the last possible moment, the leader rescued him, gazing at him with restrained breaths.
"Can't you show a little awareness of what it means to be an Omega?"
Su Yan blinked, then suddenly leaned closer. "You knew I was an Omega?"
He found it a little funny. Was this the legendary case of being so homophobic that you were deep in the closet?
Su Yan couldn't help teasing him further. "Then... have you liked me for a long time?"
The leader's answer came the next second. "Yes."
Su Yan: ??
Theme: Keep striving and never give up.
