[Synopsis]
Cheng Zhi, the ace of a top-tier star boy band, transmigrates into a vase-like cannon fodder character who shares his name and has been given a script that sacrifices him to the talent show.
When he arrives, the original owner's first performance has gone disastrously, and the whole internet is mocking him.
Facing the cameras, Cheng Zhi simply smiles. "I'll keep working hard. Could you please give me a little more time?"
Three days later, several moments from his performance set the internet ablaze.
Video one:
Wearing a white shirt, Cheng Zhi undoes the top two buttons with his long, slender fingers. He casually holds his necklace between his lips and looks into the camera, a hint of a smile in his eyes.
Video two:
As Cheng Zhi dances, the hem of his shirt is lifted by the wind, revealing half of his slender waist. A little black mole there makes his skin look even fairer and has countless netizens screaming.
"I just left, and Cheng Zhi's gaze nearly made my soul leave my body. Orz."
"Stop teasing us, stop teasing us! Keep it up and I'll get a nosebleed, waaah!"
"Next time Cheng Zhi dances, I hope he steps to the beat instead of making my heart skip a beat!"

Song Baiyi is a popular top-tier star and a mentor on the talent show, known as the Iceberg Mentor for his impartial, stern manner.
"Are you dancing, or doing radio calisthenics?"
"The stage is for you to show off your skills, not to come here and beg for sympathy."
When faced with Cheng Zhi's impressive performance, he gives a frosty review.
"Nice dancing. Keep it up."
On debut night, Cheng Zhi's outstanding abilities earn him the center position in the debut lineup. Song Baiyi merely meets Cheng Zhi's eyes and comments, "Pretty good. You've got a bright future."

Just when all the fans think these two will have nothing to do with each other, a video surfaces.
Backstage, Song Baiyi wraps Cheng Zhi up snugly in his coat, pins him against the wall, and toys with the little black mole on Cheng Zhi's waist.
"Aren't you worried about catching a cold, dressed like that?"
Cheng Zhi smiles brightly in his arms. "But you're here to lend me your coat."
"No. You can't wear that again." Song Baiyi buries his face in the crook of Cheng Zhi's neck and murmurs, "I'm the only one who gets to see the mole on your waist..."
Fans: What happened to the Iceberg Mentor?!

Reader advisory:
1. The show segments are loosely based on Produce 101. The plot serves the main characters, so many of the other segments are made up by the author.
2. A fluffy romance with little logic.

How Can a Sickly Beauty Not Wear Long Underwear in Winter?!
Jiang Sui (seme) x Yu An (uke)
In his previous life, Yu An was a frail, sickly poor thing born into a wealthy family, with a father who didn't love him and a mother who didn't care for him.
To get his parents and his childhood crush to pay attention to him, his favorite pastime was wrecking his own health.
Yu An, who took his own life before he turned twenty, only realized at the end that he was the fake young master who had been switched at birth.
Behind his back, his parents doted on the real young master. Even the person he had loved for years pursued the real young master relentlessly.
Meanwhile, he had ignored Jiang Sui, who had quietly devoted years to him.
Reborn into a new life, Yu An has finally given up hope. After bitter reflection, he immediately makes two decisions.
First, he will take care of the body he has nearly wrecked beyond repair.
That very day, Yu An buys ten pairs of long underwear and casually drops two goji berries into his insulated cup.
In less than a week, he has infiltrated the neighborhood group chat for the local retirees and successfully joined the front lines of the wellness craze.
Second, he wants to rely on Jiang Sui a little more.
In his previous life, Jiang Sui was born into a prestigious family and doted on by everyone. His greatest hobby was quietly looking after Yu An, who loved wrecking his own health.
As the first person to discover Yu An's body, Jiang Sui, in front of everyone, pressed a blood-tinged kiss to Yu An's pale lips.
Reborn into a new life, Jiang Sui returns to a time when Yu An is still alive, and immediately makes a decision.
He will make sure Yu An survives, no matter what it takes.
When Yu An's gastroenteritis flares up, Jiang Sui is about to act, but sees Yu An set down the Pu'er tea he just made. Then Yu An looks at him with watery eyes, his voice full of pleading. "Tuotuo... it hurts."
When the weather turns cold, Jiang Sui is about to put a coat over Yu An's shoulders, but sees Yu An stick two heat patches to his waist. The next second, Yu An opens his arms, his eyes full of trust. "Tuotuo... I'm cold. Will you hold me?"
Jiang Sui, who was about to do whatever it took: ?
After Jiang Sui holds him close and kisses him until he settles down, he idly rubs Yu An's reddened earlobe and asks with a smile, "Are you still cold?"
Yu An's face is so red it might start smoking. Buried in Jiang Sui's arms, he gives a quiet little hum.
"I'm not cold anymore. Can you kiss me again?"
#This time the kiss can taste like strawberries, but it absolutely won't taste like blood.
[The uke who asks, "Will you wear matching long underwear with me today?" x the seme who says, "My bed is warmer than long underwear"] (crossed out)

Upcoming novel: He's So Sly and Flirtatious, Sharing My Dorm Room. If you like it, please add it to your collection. Thanks for your support!
Song Yuhang, the campus heartthrob at A University, has run into a bit of trouble recently.
The attentions of Lu Yuan, a suitor in his dorm, are giving Song Yuhang a headache.
To get rid of Lu Yuan, Song Yuhang grits his teeth and asks Fu Xiao, the campus heartthrob who sleeps in the bed across from his, for help.
Song Yuhang expects Fu Xiao to turn him down, but the other man just smiles lazily and prints out a Temporary Dating Agreement in five minutes.
Fu Xiao helps Song Yuhang get rid of his suitors, and Song Yuhang helps Fu Xiao fend off countless admirers.
They hit it off, sign the agreement, and work together like a dream.
When Lu Yuan is being attentive, Fu Xiao takes Song Yuhang's hand and smiles coolly at him. "Sorry, you're too late. Song Yuhang is my boyfriend now."
Lu Yuan doggedly brings breakfast for the uke. Fu Xiao looks at the scallions floating in the wonton soup and says scornfully, "If you're going to steal someone's boyfriend, at least pick a shovel the wall likes. How unprofessional."
Then Fu Xiao pulls out Song Yuhang's favorite soup dumplings and soy milk from behind his back, his eyes full of indulgence.
"Eat while it's hot, baby."
To make their act convincing, Fu Xiao takes great care of Song Yuhang in every way.
In the middle of the night, with thunder and lightning outside, Fu Xiao puts a hand on Song Yuhang's waist.
"Scared? Then how about I come sleep in your bed tonight?"
Song Yuhang sprains his leg playing ball and has trouble getting around. Fu Xiao curls his lips into a smile.
"Darling, want me to help you take a bath?"
Once Lu Yuan finally gives up and stops bothering Song Yuhang, Song Yuhang brings out the agreement to thank Fu Xiao and says their partnership can end here.
The next second, Fu Xiao looks at the sheet of paper, perfectly calm, and tears off the word "temporary" from the agreement.
Song Yuhang: ?!
Then, faster than the eye can follow, Fu Xiao locks the dorm room door with just the two of them inside and pins Song Yuhang against his desk.
Fu Xiao lifts a hand to hold Song Yuhang's chin, then gently rubs the little mole on his Adam's apple.
"We signed it in black and white."
"We've kissed."
"We've slept in the same bed."
Fu Xiao leans close to Song Yuhang's earlobe and breathes softly against it, his voice full of hurt.
"Are you really going to abandon me, boyfriend?"
Song Yuhang realizes he may have gotten himself into even bigger trouble.
An obsessive, devoted, tea-drinking seme x a sharp-tongued, soft-hearted, slow-on-the-uptake uke
