He's Cuter Than His Image [Entertainment Industry]

ABO / entertainment industry / younger love interest / a sweet story of unrequited love fulfilled When Qi Ran's secondary sex characteristics were slow to develop during his school years, he went to the hospital. Biological tests showed he was an omega, but he was unable to produce pheromones normally. The doctor said he didn't need shots or medicine; falling in love would fix it. So while other parents kept their children focused on studying, his parents hoped he would fall in love young. Qi Ran is easygoing and considers everyone he gets along with a buddy. After entering the entertainment industry, he has even less interest in dating. Seeing this, his company decides to give him a cool, disciplined public image. Since his debut, his pheromones have remained a mystery. After years of being neither popular nor unpopular, he takes a gamble and accepts a web drama in hopes of changing his career direction. He hears that the other male lead is a well-known figure in the industry: young, yet with years of acting experience and a number of awards to his name. Naturally, he's also proud, picky, and difficult to deal with. He even has a peculiar habit: he hates it when people release their pheromones in front of him. Taking his manager's advice to keep his pheromones under control to heart, Qi Ran prepares himself to be disliked, looked down on, and put down, then enters the cast in a state of nervous trepidation. Then the drama becomes an overnight hit, and all his old performances, stages, interviews, and variety show appearances are dug up. The number of passersby who become fans is staggering. Wait, isn't this guy a stage idol who sings and dances? How is his acting so good too? Weren't they supposed to have only brotherly affection? Where did this addictive chemistry come from? Honestly, what do his pheromones smell like... I want to know. * Ji Hanjing has had a crush on someone for five years. Under the guise of being a fan, he's followed him ever since his debut. He always keeps the proper distance between idol and fan, never intruding on his favorite star's private life. On the surface, he's a levelheaded, devoted fan.

Ji Hanjing keeps a cool, rational fan's expression on his face, while fireworks go off in his heart every day. Damn. His idol seems even cuter than his public image. * A gentle bottom, a professional idol and rising actor x a younger top, a secretly lovesick star who found fame young The top seems like everyone's dream man on the outside, but is actually a bit of a fool. * Other stories in the ABO series are listed on the author's page: The Teary-Eyed One (Entertainment Industry), Cen Yi x Shen Wenji Perfect Mark, Ji Shao x Jiang Liaoyin My Childhood Friend, Whom I Raised, Turned into an Alpha, Fu Anyang x Shen Wenxu Theme: Sweet romance.
