Sang Yihuan has been in the entertainment industry for eight years. He has ratings, popularity, awards, fans...and of course, a rival.
His rival is Qi Ye, who debuted a few years later but got his start by winning awards overseas.
One mainly shoots TV dramas, the other focuses on films. They should have had little reason to cross paths, but somehow they keep running into each other at brand endorsements, award ceremonies, and variety show shoots. After their schedules clash a few times, they naturally become rivals.
"Do you think he's doing this on purpose? I wear clothes from this brand, and then he wears them too? How many times have we trended for wearing matching outfits now?"
But Sang Yihuan never expected that he and Qi Ye, the kind of textbook rivals whose fans nearly tear each other to shreds, would have fans shipping them together too.
Seriously, aren't you all too good at finding things to ship?
[Ship them! This is exactly the kind of love-hate romance we want!]
Wow, this story is really... What do you mean Qi Ye has been paying attention to me all along? I knew he was a copycat! Even the ship fans figured it out. Wait, what do you mean pheromones? What do you mean we fight like crazy in public and go wild backstage? That never happened! We've been in showbiz for years, we're professionals. We wouldn't fight in public.
And what exactly are omegas and alphas supposed to be?
Sang Yihuan falls asleep halfway through reading the fanfic. When he opens his eyes, the whole world has changed. His manager immediately comes over with a strip of tape to stick on his neck. "Qi Ye's recording too. How dare you not put on a suppressant patch? Did you forget what happened last time? Wait, where's your gland?"
What happened last time? And what gland?
Sang Yihuan is horrified to discover that he's transmigrated, and in this world, only he and Qi Ye are normal people!
No, Qi Ye seems to have changed too. What do you mean you didn't fall for me because of pheromones, you liked me in the original world too?
Can you let him go back to being a straight man in peace?!
A pure, sweet romance. The top has a crush on the bottom, while the bottom considers himself straight (though he's not all that straight).
