Days of Being Forced into Becoming Everyone's Crush

(The main story blurb is below.)

Next novel: That Beta Is Whimpering Again

I.

Ji Song is a poor beta from a low-tier mining planet. He's not clever or strong, can't fight or work, and all he has is a delicate, beautiful face prettier than an omega's.

Qin Hu, on the other hand, is an alpha general: perfect-looking, from a prominent family, and exceptionally capable. He's so powerful that no one dares challenge him, and enough omegas want to marry him to circle the entire star system.

Yet this perfect Qin Hu "married" Ji Song, a useless beta who whimpers even over a tiny scrape.

It's probably because this beta is really good at acting cute.

Otherwise, why would Qin Hu rush over, heart aching, whenever Ji Song called him and started whimpering?

Ji Song: QAQ Baby, I've been working all day and my little legs hurt.

Qin Hu: It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt. I'll blow on them for you.

II.

When foreign forces invade, Qin Hu can't return from the capital planet in time, and his entire jurisdiction descends into chaos.

Ji Song, a low-ranking soldier, lazily takes a seat in Qin Hu's chair and gives his orders without hesitation: "Follow me."

The leaderless army, under Ji Song's command, sweeps forward with unstoppable force.

The enemy commander, completely suppressed and unable to fight back, pretends to surrender, then tries to assassinate Ji Song when his guard is down.

Without even turning around, Ji Song sneers and smashes the commander's head into the wall.

The enemy commander wets himself in terror and stammers, "W-Who are you? How are you even stronger than Qin Hu?!"

Ji Song grins, his smile brazen and unrestrained. "Because I'm the one who taught Qin Hu."

Here comes my beloved trope of pretending to be weak while hiding one's strength.

==Main Story Blurb==

I

Jiang Shenjing transmigrates into the charismatic male lead of a novel written purely to torment its readers.

The original character is a terrifying man. Not only does he make all the powerful figures in this world fall head over heels for him, he also makes them sincerely believe they're the only one for him.

And his boyfriends are even more terrifying. Every one of them is unhinged. If the original character dares to break up with them, they'll turn evil on the spot and die with him.

Poor Jiang Shenjing is a decent young man with proper roots and values. To stay alive, he's forced to imitate the original character's sweet, scheming persona and embark on a life as a heartthrob who dates everyone. He has to learn to give those dewy-eyed looks and act coy as if he's holding back words

The CEO at the top of the Forbes list: I can buy you the whole planet.

Jiang Shenjing bashfully lowers his head. "You're amazing, big brother!"

The hottest idol around: I'll share all my cheers with you.

Jiang Shenjing shyly cups his face. "Oh my gosh, big brother, I'm so honored!"

The leading figure in scientific research: I built a star for you.

Jiang Shenjing blinks. "Will you give me a little heart, too, big brother?"

Jiang Shenjing: I disgust myself every day. Being a heartthrob who dates everyone is so exhausting.

II

Fortunately, there's one normal person in this world: Ren Furong. More precisely, he doesn't like Jiang Shenjing at all.

Jiang Shenjing is very pleased about that.

Until years later, the powerful men who once wouldn't leave Jiang Shenjing alone all kneel before him, sobbing. "We're sorry, Jiang! We won't ever dare to covet you again!"

Behind them, Ren Furong smiles radiantly, as bright as spring:

"From now on, I get to have you all to myself."

Jiang Shenjing: Weren't you supposed to not like me? QAQ! Liar!

III

Jiang Shenjing always thought he could never be attracted to men in this lifetime.

But one day, he burns his hand, and Ren Furong takes it and tenderly kisses the red mark.

The original character's boyfriends had tried to do the same thing.

Back then, Jiang Shenjing had quickly pulled his hand away and slapped the guy across the face, thinking:

So gross, so gross, so gross.

Now he watches Ren Furong's long eyelashes flutter like little butterfly wings as he lowers his head, and all he can think is:

Holy crap, he's so cute!

*

Couple: A genuinely rugged man pretending to be a sweet, scheming heartthrob, the charming top x A big shot who's truly hopeless at reading the room and thinks he's number one in the world, the bottom

◆ Jiang Shenjing is the top and Ren Furong is the bottom. Top-centric, equally strong, mutually doting couple; both are chaste, one-on-one romance.

◆ A silly comedy with no logic. Take it seriously and you'll cry.

Theme: No matter how difficult the circumstances, keep striving to survive.
