[Blurb]

Lu Lianchen, employee number 0327 of the Space-Time System, is mild-mannered and outstanding at his job. The only mission he ever botched was a mess hastily dumped on him by a colleague from the Romance Department next door.

His target was a genius alpha singer-songwriter. His task was to have a passionate romance with him, then leave and become his unforgettable first love and source of inspiration.

Determined to finish the mission and never see each other again, Lu Lianchen worked diligently and took the romance seriously.

At the moment he faked his death in a car crash, he saw the completion bar at one hundred percent and his ex-boyfriend's eyes full of agony. Finally relieved, he headed to the next mission world.

And then...

Lu Lianchen: This is the cat I raised during my last mission.

System: Coincidence.

Lu Lianchen: This is the courtyard I stayed in during my last mission.

System: Coincidence.

Lu Lianchen: This is the target from my last mission, who also happens to be my ex-boyfriend.

System: Coinci...

Lu Lianchen: Hello. He's looking at me (.

A bug caused Lu Lianchen's mission worlds to overlap.

His identity had changed, but the world was still the same as before.

He was a rookie contestant auditioning for the position of vocalist in the top-tier boy band Starry. The head mentor in charge of evaluating the contestants was none other than Gu Yuanzhi, the ex-boyfriend he'd abandoned after faking his death, and the leader of Starry.

Lu Lianchen: ...Is it too late to apologize?

The next second, the show began.

The spotlight fell on him.

*

Everyone knows that Above the Stars not only found Starry a vocalist, but also made one of its contestants a top-tier star.

With his handsome face and outstanding skills, Lu Lianchen turned the tables, gained a huge following, and became Starry's darling. The only one who didn't like him was the very leader of Starry who had personally helped him make his debut.

He was never mentioned in interviews, never brought up on the group's variety show, and rarely appeared in the same frame as the others.

Only Lu Lianchen knew that on the night of his debut, his ex-boyfriend had pinned him down in the practice room during his heat.

Under the absolute dominance of his pheromones, his ex-boyfriend brushed a tear mole at the corner of his eye and asked gently:

Are you going to run away again?

Please note:

1. A famously aloof male idol and his runaway sweetheart, his unforgettable first love.

2. A not-quite-typical second-chance romance, with classic alpha-omega dynamics. One-on-one, both each other's first love.

The gong is a little unhinged at first. The shou is sweet and good-tempered, but a little slow when it comes to love, and a little liar.

A bittersweet romance: angsty at first, sweet later.

3. Romance within a five-member boy band, with some focus on their careers. No real-life inspiration.

4. There is a secondary couple, but they don't get much page time.

After Transmigrating Into a Book, I Stole the Scum Gong's Beloved [ABO]

Wen Shengran, the young master of the Wen family, is handsome and carefree. His only flaw is that he loves to have fun.

After a car accident, he transmigrated into a book, becoming the shou protagonist with the same name in a melodramatic story about a scumbag gong and his devoted lover.

The protagonist was the real young master of a wealthy family, raised away from home. He was meek and timid, and let the scum gong keep him as a substitute for three years without complaint. After a string of melodramatic twists and turns, the two of them got their happy ending.

Wen Shengran: ...How could that possibly end happily?

The young master had never put up with this kind of humiliation in his life. He was ready to run, only to be told that, because of a defect in his gland, only the scum gong's pheromones could soothe him until a special medicine was developed.

Wen Shengran suddenly saw the light.

It's stupid to turn down a chance to live, and foolish not to use medicine that's right there. If there's a scum gong available, why not have some fun...

You'd have to be a fool not to.

Apart from following the plot, he'd eat and sleep as he pleased, occasionally putting on a tearjerker performance with the scum gong. The scum gong's gaze grew more and more complicated, while Wen Shengran got more and more tired of looking at him.

By chance, according to the book's plot, the scum gong's beloved was the doctor Li Yu, who would develop the special medicine.

Li Yu was the second son of the prominent Li family in City A. Cool and aloof, he was pursuing advanced studies overseas.

So Wen Shengran decided that once Li Yu returned home and he got his medicine, he would run away.

And then...

He saw Li Yu in person.

*

Everyone in City A knew that the eldest young master of the Yi family, Yi Cheng, kept a little substitute. As soon as his true love returned, he dumped the substitute.

The little substitute was the real young master, yet his family didn't welcome him.

Yi Cheng's actions were cold and heartless.

Only Yi Cheng knew that wasn't what had happened.

The little substitute had never relied on him. Through his own efforts, he made the Wen family beg him to come home.

And he...

He had fallen for the little substitute long ago, but on the very day their agreement ended, the little substitute dumped him, then turned around...

And ran to his beloved.

"Doctor Li, you're so handsome."

"Doctor Li, are you looking for a partner? What do you think of me?"

"Doctor Li, I'm sick. I..."

"It hurts."

Yi Cheng was consumed by jealousy. He was just about to mock the little substitute for being delusional, pretending to be obedient and pitiful, when he saw that cool, radiant moon furrow his brow and stop for the first time, bending down.

"...Where does it hurt?"

Theme: Love life, work hard, stay positive, and treat others sincerely. That's how you can find a wonderful and fulfilling life.
