After I Paired Up with Someone Else, the Player Finally Panicked

Workaholic Li Qing Qing worked tirelessly at the company like a beast of burden, but died suddenly from the 996 work schedule.

After dying, she unexpectedly found herself inside the entertainment-industry danmei novel she'd recently been following, as Ye Yi, the devoted female supporting character whose love went unreturned.

Ye Yi had grown up with the heroine, Wu Si Si, and had secretly loved her for years under the guise of being her best friend. She even covered for Wu Si Si when she skipped class. When Wu Si Si wanted to become a star, Ye Yi went with her to audition for a talent show.

But Wu Si Si happily took advantage of Ye Yi's devotion while pairing up with various big names in the entertainment industry, treating Ye Yi as a stepping stone to fame.

Li Qing Qing: "So you're a player? Two can play that game."

During interviews, Li Qing Qing would casually praise the team captain again and again. In the dorm, she'd cuddle up with the youngest member. While practicing new songs and dances, she'd chat and laugh with the second and third sisters. But whenever Wu Si Si approached her, she'd deliberately look away, pretending they barely knew each other both in public and in private.

"Wu Si Si? We're just coworkers. We aren't close."

"We used to be teammates, and that's all we'll ever be."

"She's not my type, but we're still friends."

After Li Qing Qing stopped giving Wu Si Si her heart, she thrived in the entertainment industry and formed sizzling girl-girl pairings with every other member of the group. When the group shot to fame overnight, fans of every pairing fought over which one deserved the favored spot, while the pairing with Wu Si Si was completely ignored.

Everyone thought the two weren't close, until a video unexpectedly appeared online

Backstage at a fan meeting, Wu Si Si cornered Li Qing Qing in a quiet stairwell, her eyes red as she demanded, "Didn't you used to be willing to do anything for me? Why are you ignoring me now?"

The fans had sharp instincts: "A love-hate romance? I'm obsessed!"

Both of their social media accounts were flooded, and Li Qing Qing had no choice but to post a clarification: [A misunderstanding, we're just col...]

The fans: "You didn't finish typing? Coworkers or lesbians, I'll decide for myself!"
