Why Are the Protagonist’s Love Interests Fighting Over Me?

[The print edition goes on presale January 1, 2026. Signed copies are available for the first ten minutes. See Weibo for details.] Blurb: Tang Bai comes from a wealthy family. He’s delicate, soft, and loves to act cute. After searching high and low, his family finds him a handsome, rich fiance-to-be. But the fiance-to-be likes independent, self-reliant Omegas and strongly opposes the business marriage. One day, Tang Bai’s brain short-circuits. He decides he’s living in a novel, where he’s the doomed love interest, his fiance-to-be is the main character’s top, and the main character’s love interest, Xie Rujun, is an independent, self-reliant Omega pretending to be an Alpha. He’ll become a marshal in the future and shine as a beacon for all Omegas. No wonder his fiance-to-be refused to even look at the lovingly packed lunch he’d worked so hard to make. Tang Bai turned away with reddened eyes and saw Xie Rujun eating a horrible training meal. How could the future beacon of all Omegas eat such demonic slop fit for pigs? Tang Bai said shyly, “I made this myself. We Omegas need to pay attention to our diet and take care of our health~” Xie Rujun: ...? From the moment Xie Rujun saw Tang Bai, he thought that even when this Omega cried, he looked just like the person of his dreams. Tang Bai was considerate, refined, beautiful, and cute, but he already had a fiance-to-be! Heartbroken, Xie Rujun declared, “I won’t be the other man.” Tang Bai was deeply moved. He thought that he and Xie Rujun had become best friends, and that Xie Rujun wouldn’t try to steal his fiance. After all, Alphas are like clothes, but besties are like limbs. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of you! Xie Rujun: ... Soon, Xie Rujun heard some rumors. Tang Bai’s fiance-to-be disliked him, but couldn’t disobey his family, so he took it out on Tang Bai at every turn. Xie Rujun: How dare you fail to treasure the person of my dreams, whom I’d hold in the palm of my hand? You trash! Xie Rujun: It’s only a matter of stealing him away, right? I’m in. Tang Bai was horrified to discover: Why are the main characters fighting over me?! Tang Bai: Oh! They must be having one of those love-and-hate relationships! #Little Scene# Tang Bai lowered his head sadly and confided in his bestie about his heartbreak. Xie Rujun: “How could he treat you like that?” “You’re so gentle, kind, considerate, and cute. If I were him, I’d cherish you.” “Your cooking is so good. How could I ever eat anything else?” “You look so beautiful when you smile. How could anyone bear to make you frown?” Tang Bai became more and more convinced that his fiance-to-be was a jerk. Xie Rujun seized his chance and casually asked, “What do you think of me?” Tang Bai: ??? It wasn’t until Xie Rujun went into heat that Tang Bai finally understood: His bestie was a genuine, full-on Alpha! A pampered, sweet-talking, domestic sweetheart love interest × a proud, sharp-tongued, beautiful top. Huge thanks to my friend Banye Yu for the cover. See Weibo for the full image. [Important] This is a fictional story set in an interstellar future. Its society is completely different from ours, and nothing in it is intended to reflect reality. All contentious content in the story has been revised. I was previously unaware of these issues and handled parts of the plot inappropriately through exaggeration. I have now accepted criticism and revised everything. [Important] There is no romantic ambiguity between the two tops in this story. The true top and the doomed top only like the love interest.

Before drawing, he bathed and burned incense. In the first round, he drew The Pea Princess?! [Pea Princess Card 1: You’re delicate and weak. Even with twenty eiderdown quilts between you and a tiny pea, you can still feel it.] As a result, that very day the monster developed an overwhelming desire to torment Tang Ning. He ran, it chased, and there was nowhere for him to escape. [Pea Princess Card 2: A prince is searching for the real princess. Your delicate, fragile nature is guaranteed to attract him.] And so a powerful NPC really did rescue Tang Ning. With the help of a gentle, patient, powerful, brave, clever, and capable NPC, Tang Ning won without lifting a finger. Before drawing a card in the second round, Tang Ning bathed and burned incense. Then he drew... Sleeping Beauty?! Once again, he was guaranteed to attract the monster, and once again, the prince was guaranteed to save him... Much later, Tang Ning and the prince ended up together. Then he discovered . . . . . . that the prince and the monster had been the same person all along. * The devil fell in love. He plucked down the moon and crushed the stars, becoming the only god you would ever need in the dark of night. = [Blurb from the top’s perspective] A princess in distress is locked in a cage, surrounded by monsters ready to pounce. The beauty is so frightened that he clutches himself. You are the greatest monster. You put on human skin, unlock the cage, and embrace the princess. Like a bird with broken wings, the frail princess leans against you. He is so dependent on you, so fragile, so prone to tears. He panics when you’re not there. But you always have to leave him. Only then can you shed your human skin and become a monster, indulging yourself as you make every one of his feathers smell like you. His sorrowful moans are more enchanting than the most beautiful music you’ve ever heard. So you put your human skin back on, pretend you’ve only just arrived, and embrace your princess again. He begs you fearfully, “Don’t leave me.” You smile slowly. How could I leave you? I’ve always been right here by your side, my princess. * I recommend my CP Qingyun Xiaoshi’s new novel, *Detective Notes*! The main plot is fantastic, and there’s a huge backlog of chapters. The blurb is in Chapter 19~ Theme: Greatness has never been a thousand miles away from the ordinary. Greatness comes from the ordinary, and the ordinary gives rise to greatness.
