[Main story complete] [Content warnings: Please see the author's note in Chapter 1 for details.]
Shen Xu and Lu Ting are known throughout the entertainment industry as sworn enemies. The two stars can't stand each other, and their fanbases are just as hostile.
During a dating reality show, Lu Ting declares, “If he's there, I'm not. If I'm there, he's not.”
The director's arrangements leave Shen Xu with no choice but to appear in women's clothing.
When Shen Xu gets “kicked off,” Lu Ting's fans celebrate across the land.
They look forward to their idol proving on the show that no one can measure up to him, as he remains aloof and keeps every lovestruck beauty at arm's length.
The guests pair up based on their first impressions.
Shen Xu stays as far away as possible.
Before any of the other male guests can react, Lu Ting is the first to choose Shen Xu.
Shen Xu: What? What does this guy see in me?!
Fans: What's going on? Why did Ting take the initiative to choose someone? It must be scripted!
Everyone heads into the mountains to look for food.
Shen Xu accidentally slips.
Lu Ting catches him in time, blushing all the way to his neck.
Shen Xu: It's just holding hands. Why are you blushing???
Fans: We must have started the day wrong. Let's try again!
Unable to sleep in the middle of the night,
Shen Xu chats in the hallway with another male guest.
Lu Ting stops him, eyes red.
Shen Xu: ??? What's wrong with you now?
Fans: Don't tell us Ting is jealous. That's absolutely impossible!
With their idol's affection too obvious to deny, Lu Ting's fans reluctantly give in. The woman their idol likes can be elegant and capable, able to cook and host, stomp on a venomous snake, and carry a bucket with one hand. That's fine too!
Shen Xu thinks Lu Ting is crazy and vanishes as soon as the show ends. Not a single fan can uncover “her” identity.
Until one day, on another variety show,
a celebrity makes a live call to his friend Shen Xu, and a cold voice answers, “He's still asleep.”
Celebrity: Who are you?
The other person: Lu Ting.
Then Shen Xu angrily shouts in the background, and Lu Ting gently coaxes him: “I'm sorry. I shouldn't have answered and woken you.”
The whole internet is in chaos: Weren't they supposed to be sworn enemies?
Reading Guide:
A blunt-tempered bottom who rolls up his sleeves at the slightest provocation, Shen Xu x a cold movie-star top with a puppy-like side, Lu Ting
One-on-one, both inexperienced, lots of creative liberties, don't overanalyze.
The fans' comments are just teasing. Please don't read anything into them or assume they refer to anyone real.
Coming soon: The Whole Dorm Became Dogs
Morning news in Huancheng:
A university building collapsed, injuring numerous students...
All four residents of Dorm 401 were caught in the accident and hospitalized in a vegetative state. When they woke up, they had become dogs belonging to the top-tier Fu family.
1. Song Xingqi, the most timid of the four, has his soul enter a Tibetan Mastiff. Faced with a tiny puppy many times smaller than him, the Mastiff trembles with fear. Whenever the puppy barks, he hides behind the Fu family's eldest son's heel, whimpering. One day, thunder makes a huge lump rise under Fu Chen's covers: the family Mastiff has crawled into his bed to hide from the storm.
But the Mastiff is smart and clever. He can fetch the newspaper, wake people up, and understand everything you say.

Fu Yu is solitary and cold, ruthless by nature, and a business prodigy. One day, a hacker breaks into his computer. He sets a trap to catch them, then sees on the security footage that his husky is sitting in front of his laptop, typing...
3. Sheng Xiaoxing, the most prickly guy in the dorm, wakes up in a filthy place and finds himself a scrawny Shiba Inu. He is wary of everyone and bites the man bringing him food, sinking his teeth into the hand of Fu Yan, world boxing champion. When everyone thinks Fu Yan will punch him to death, Fu Yan picks him up and takes him home.
No one knows that Fu Yan, nicknamed the Iceberg, is secretly a dog-obsessed fanatic. He bathes the Shiba Inu, brushes his fur, and uses cotton swabs to clean his butt...
4. Jiang Ling, the school's notorious playboy, has dated more men than he's had meals. Seductive and beautiful are his defining traits, but he's furious to find himself transformed into a tiny Bichon Frise. How is he supposed to charm men looking like this?!!! He glares at the Fu family's youngest son, who has one person in each arm, bares his teeth, then leaps up and scratches the others' faces.
Later, people hear that the famous playboy has been tamed by a dog, spoils it rotten, and even claims he wants to marry a dog...
Later still, the four boys wake up in the hospital and begin their lives anew.
