Reborn, I'm a Top-Tier Star Again

[Thanks to everyone who supports the official release.]

Blurb:

Top-tier star Wen Song was deceived by his first love and brutally dragged across the internet.

Reborn after a car accident, all he wanted was to be a happy slacker. He was going to stay away from the entertainment industry, and even further from handsome men!

He'd never put up with that kind of misery again. Going home to inherit the family fortune sounded much better.

So he returned to the idol competition. While everyone else danced, he slacked off; while they rapped, he read. A wonderful life after elimination was just within reach.

When his scheming first love approached him again, Wen Song panicked and blurted out, "I'm into guys like him. Forget it."

Lu Yige, the captain of an immensely popular boy band, was only sixteen. To Wen Song, this aloof, cocky middle schooler was just a kid, not remotely handsome.

So...

When his first love fed him fruit, he passed it to the person beside him. "Eat more. Grow big and tall."

The boy accepted it with a cold expression and, after eating, commented, "It's awful."

When his first love cast him meaningful glances, Wen Song turned and high-fived the boy who had just finished his performance. "You were awesome!"

The little captain muttered that it was childish, but still held out his hand.

His first love... finally got the hint and backed off. But Wen Song realized that something seemed off.

Fans: Little bro, I'll help you!

Netizens: I'm shipping them.

The popularity-topper single-handedly pushed bottom-ranked Wen Song into the center position.

Wen Song had just gotten off the phone with his father, who'd told him his allowance would be cut off as soon as he debuted. "...Seriously, thank you."

In the practice room, Wen Song only wanted to go home and kept slacking off.

The tall boy wrapped his arms around Wen Song's waist from behind and whispered a threat: "Come on, hyung. Move those hips properly."

Wen Song looked at his own red ears in the mirror. He thought he might be doomed.
