To celebrate Blue Star officially joining the Blue Sea Interstellar Peace Alliance, the Interstellar Peace Alliance decides to select nine people from its twenty-three member planets and form a girl group to serve as interstellar ambassadors of peace.
The Alliance's Publicity Department kindly reminds everyone: Although this is a girl group, not every member is guaranteed to be female.
On the Alliance residents' private forum:
-- Again? It's been ten years since the Magic Department boy band next door debuted, and I still haven't figured out which of them is a girl in disguise.
-- I've started seeing every member of that boy band as a girl. Don't make me start seeing every member of a girl group as a boy too!
-- Yay! I love cross-dressing guys. Give us more!
After round upon round of professional and rigorous auditions, the Interstellar Alliance Publicity Department's girl group, "Shining Stardust," officially debuts.
Qi Mengmeng from Pink Blue Star takes first place in popularity and claims center position!
As "Shining Stardust" begins touring planets, the group's popularity soars.
Before long, they attract terrifying interstellar pirate sasaeng fans.
To protect their safety, the entertainment company managing the group hires the finest interstellar bodyguard team in the universe.
At a friend's invitation, Ji Jinmian temporarily joins this all-female bodyguard team, responsible for the safety of "Shining Stardust" member Qi Mengmeng.
Onstage, Qi Mengmeng is radiant and dazzling. But whenever she's alone with Ji Jinmian, she turns so pitiful.
Qi Mengmeng tells Ji Jinmian:
"My family's poor, and I have a lot of siblings. I became an idol to help support them."
"This little injury is nothing. I have to keep performing, or the company will dock my pay."
"Sister Jinmian, the electromagnetic storm outside is so scary. Could you stay in my room and keep me company?"
Only later does Ji Jinmian learn that this "delicate girl" in a cute disguise is not only unbelievably strong, but also richer than half the Alliance!
"Qi Mengmeng! No, I should call you Qi Mengdu. Stop pretending to be poor. You own nine mining planets!"
"You're scared? Get out of here! They're the ones who should be scared of you!"
The first time Ji Jinmian met Qi Mengmeng:
Qi Mengmeng was pulled off the stage by a fan frenzy in the crowd and injured her ankle.
Ji Jinmian strode forward and effortlessly carried the fallen Qi Mengmeng in her arms.
The first time Ji Jinmian met Qi Mengdu:
She had just taken on an entire elite enemy squad alone and was now unconscious from her serious injuries.
He strode through the flames of war and gently lifted her in the middle of the ruins.
And the first time Qi Mengdu met Ji Jinmian:
Ji Jinmian nudged the unfamiliar ally lying on the ground, pretending to be unconscious, with the tip of her foot.
"Wake up. Quit pretending to sleep and get up and do some work!"
Whenever Qi Mengdu recalls his first meeting with Ji Jinmian, he can't help but say:
"That kick of yours went straight to my heart."
Curled up in Qi Mengdu's arms, Ji Jinmian looks up speechlessly.
There is definitely something wrong with this guy's head.
Reader's Guide:
1. The world is entirely fictional, and both the setting and worldbuilding are very strange.
2. Both leads are incredibly strong. Qi Mengmeng's frail appearance is an act the male lead puts on specifically in front of the female lead.
3. The male lead is male throughout. Because of his species, he has four possible forms: child, adolescent (Qi Mengmeng), adult, and berserk. He will not date the female lead while in his Qi Mengmeng form.
4. If you don't like this setup, please leave. There's no need for us to make each other miserable. Peace and love.
