Outgoing, sunny shou x aloof, arrogant iceberg gong
Su Yan transmigrates into a melodramatic dating-show novel as a delicate, beautiful little omega.
The original character is a struggling actor caught up in a cheating scandal, so the moment he joins the show, people tear into him online. But Su Yan is too busy trying to figure out the guests' genders to pay attention to what the internet is saying about him!
There are six guests in total, three alphas and three omegas, at least on the surface.
But Su Yan has skimmed through the book and knows that among them are an omega pretending to be an alpha, an alpha pretending to be an omega, and, more terrifyingly, an alpha on the verge of differentiating into an E!
Su Yan can only exclaim, "Well, would you look at that! They're stacking buffs now!"
His rational side tells him that if he wants to preserve his dignity as a straight man, he'd better keep a low profile. But his kind heart won't let him sit by and watch!
He brings boiling water, an omega essential, to an alpha who's just returned from exercising and is about to take a cold shower.
With an I-know-what-you're-going-through look, he says: "Pretending to be an alpha is exhausting, right? Drink more hot water!"
The alpha about to differentiate into an E: "..."
He shares his favorite little cakes and saves two extra for his roommate.
Watching his roommate eat with a kindly smile, he says: "You love sweets so much, you must be a real omega. We're best buds!"
The alpha pretending to be an omega: He loves me so much!
Su Yan is convinced he's a genius, having correctly identified the real genders of all the "special cases."
So when the show staff awkwardly tell him that one of the guests really needs him, Su Yan doesn't wait for anyone to lead the way. He grabs an omega-specific suppressant and rushes straight into the room.
By now, Su Yan has perfectly adapted to the ABO world. He calls out: "Sister! How could you not prepare suppressants for your heat? I'm coming!"
But once inside, something feels wrong. Why is his own gland getting hot, and why does his whole body feel weak and unable to move?
Three days later, Su Yan walks out of the room unsteadily, dazed and confused, with someone looking thoroughly satisfied following behind him.
Su Yan is about to cry. How did he get everyone's genders mixed up?
Su Yan tries to reason with him: "You know how advanced mark-removal technology is these days. I'll go get my mark removed tomorrow. I definitely won't cling to you."
The other person's face darkens. He grits his teeth: "Suit yourself."
Su Yan takes him seriously and heads to the hospital that very night, but someone stops him along the way.
The privileged heir, who has always looked down on delicate omegas, lowers his head and softens his voice. "I can change anything about myself that you don't like."
