The Beautiful Omega Doesn't Want a Promotion

(The next book I'll be working on is "The Couple on Set, Fighting for Top Billing Online." Dearest readers, indulge me this once and add it to your reading list, please!)

Xia Ye got into this prestigious school by performing far beyond expectations. Under the pressure of his studies, he began writing fanfiction about an Alpha and himself in a private journal.

As he kept writing, simply writing about it stopped being enough. He began pursuing that Alpha.

A celestial beauty of an A like Ye Jingmo, with excellent grades and a privileged family, would naturally never be interested in an utterly ordinary, low-quality O like Xia Ye. He turned Xia Ye down with gentle politeness, just as he had turned down other Os.

Unlike those other Os, Xia Ye was gloomy and obsessive, and a little twisted. He didn't care at all that the Alpha had rejected him. He clung to the Alpha and wouldn't leave him alone.

The Alpha coldly rejected him, sternly warned him, and blocked him.

Xia Ye wasn't discouraged. He began offering himself up, sending the Alpha his medical checkup reports through private messages on every major social platform. He even made alternate accounts to add the Alpha, hinting that the Alpha could do whatever he wanted to him.

He was blocked and deleted every time.

Ye Jingmo was undoubtedly an Alpha with impeccable values, devoted to finding love and never fooling around. He truly lived up to his reputation as a "celestial beauty."

Just as Ye Jingmo hit a low point in life and fell into a miserable slump, Xia Ye showed up in front of him and asked, "Want to hook up?"

The "celestial beauty" began to fall: "Where?"

Xia Ye succeeded in getting him.

It was intense, way more satisfying than writing about it himself.

*

In the first year of fooling around with Xia Ye, Ye Jingmo harshly berated himself in his heart: You should face life with optimism and enthusiasm, not indulge yourself and fall into depravity by sleeping around with an Omega.

In the third year of fooling around with Xia Ye:

Sleeping around with an Omega.

In the seventh year of fooling around with Xia Ye:

Sleeping around.

In the tenth year of fooling around with Xia Ye:

Getting some.

He liked him. He wanted to make things official.

*

After ten years, even an iceberg like Ye Jingmo had been warmed up. He fell for the Omega and couldn't live without him. He wanted to date him and spend the rest of his life with him. Then the Omega mercilessly rejected him: "Isn't this arrangement fine as it is? Dating and getting married would be such a hassle."

Ye Jingmo suddenly realized the Omega might only like him... in bed.

Reading Guide:

1. A beautiful-on-the-outside but dark and twisted-on-the-inside Alpha x an Omega who seems gentle but is actually a little unhinged. The story opens ten years later, with an Alpha who wants to make things official and an Omega who doesn't. A groveling-after-the-breakup story, and a friends-to-lovers story. Ten years ago, the bottom pursued the top; now the top pursues the bottom. The timeline begins in 2023.

2. Angsty melodrama, first loves for both, 1v1, happy ending, and a mountain of original worldbuilding.

3. There is a side couple, A/O, with a very small role, mainly to move the plot along.

Huai You is an S-rank Omega, a stunning beauty who has starred in countless hit dramas. Ever since he shot to fame at nineteen, he has been the undisputed lead in every show he's appeared in.

Yan Zhou is an S-rank Alpha, a top-tier handsome heir to a wealthy family who debuted in an idol group formed through a training program. His family connections are unmatched, and he landed the lead role in his very first acting project. Countless veteran actors played supporting roles alongside him, and he held his own in every scene with them. He became a massive star as a result.

In the entertainment industry's game of musical chairs, the two top-tier stars never crossed paths. No production team could afford to hire both A-listers at once.

Then came a brutal winter for the film and television industry. Productions could only get off the ground if they secured one of the two stars, and the script for "Moon Over the West River" landed in both their hands. From the moment they accepted it, their respective teams began a full-scale war over billing.

The fight over billing got so ugly that the entire internet mocked them. Rivals, haters, both teams, and ordinary bystanders all joined in, making graphics, tables, and videos. After analyzing everything, the internet found that the two stars, though they seemed aloof and indifferent, were actually obsessed with billing. Neither had ever taken a role that wasn't the lead, and it took the industry's brutal downturn to bring them together.

Now that two billing-obsessed stars were competing side by side, the whole internet was waiting to see whose name would come first.

*

Filming began, but the two teams still hadn't "discussed" the billing issue to a conclusion.

Huai You had no patience for the Alpha he was about to work with. He'd struggled his way through the entertainment industry for years; he wasn't here to play second fiddle. If he let a connected star like Yan Zhou take the lead billing spot, his fans wouldn't be the only ones furious. He'd be furious himself.

To get himself in the right frame of mind for filming, Huai You went to the hospital for an inhibitor shot. He would crush the industry darling with his acting. After three shots, his heart was still as water and his soul as serene as a Buddha's. Then he saw Yan Zhou for the first time and realized the inhibitors had been a waste.

This top-tier industry darling was so handsome his knees went weak.

Yan Zhou also couldn't stand the Omega he was about to work with. He had talent, acting skills, looks, and popularity. Why should he take second billing to an Omega? His name had to come first.

Then he saw the Omega for the first time.

Damn.

Cute. I want to fuck him.

Somehow, the two became the on-set couple.

*

When filming wrapped, Huai You blocked and deleted the Alpha. There was no future with someone so obsessed with billing.

Yan Zhou realized Huai You had deleted him without blocking him, and cursed furiously: "You blocked me?! Go commit seppuku!"

They could both get along just fine without each other.

*

Six months later, the show aired, and the two began selling their CP to promote it.

Seeing the Alpha again reminded Huai You of their time on set, and he felt a stirring in his heart.

Yan Zhou had originally felt nothing but resentment toward the Omega. But seeing him made desire flare up.

By day, they played up their CP for the cameras.

By night, they sank into pleasure together in the hotel. Yan Zhou pinned the Omega down, his heart full of bitter resentment as he toyed with him: "Teacher Huai, you can't do this. You block me, then still enjoy me."

#Want to date? The kind where you get second billing#

#Give up the lead role for love? Not a chance. My boyfriend can't even take my top billing spot#

#Love is love, billing is billing. We'll date, and we'll fight for top billing#

#Even on the wedding invitation, my name has to come first#

Reading Guide:

1. A younger, foul-mouthed mad dog x a cool, beautiful, proud swan. Six-year age gap. Basically, a story about two billing-obsessed stars competing side by side.

2. The top and bottom are physically attracted to each other. They block and delete each other, and aren't close in everyday life, but sparks fly and passion ignites whenever they meet.

3. They're both seriously obsessed with billing. They'll argue for ages over whose name goes first on the wedding invitation. Their rivalry inspires countless rumors and ridiculous incidents. Even their wedding is a whole drama, but they get married anyway, and they're incredibly loving after the wedding. Normal people can't understand them, but billing-obsessed people understand each other. Billing-obsessed people understand billing-obsessed people.jpg

4. It feels like a sweet romance, but they aren't even friends with benefits; they just meet up and get straight to doing it. So it doesn't feel like an ordinary fluffy romance, and there may be some melodrama. Feel free to give it a try if it sounds like your thing.

Theme: After ten years of striving and enduring setbacks, never stop pushing forward.
