Lu Songxi transmigrates into the foolish female supporting character in the most popular real-person danmei fanfic in Korean fandom.
Following the principle that only popular beauties deserve danmei, the fanfic puts in all the hottest ships from several major groups and gives them the group name BL48.
The members are exactly what their names suggest: lip-syncing, phoning in their dance routines, shouting their raps, and forcing awkward laughs on variety shows. All they know how to do is sell fanservice and their public personas. Yet every fangirl in the world screams and throws money at them, and their popularity is baffling.
Perhaps the author despises heterosexuality, because the story includes a heterosexual couple doomed to hate each other. The male supporting character's relationship gets exposed, ending his career; he cheats, gets caught up in a sex scandal, and breaks up. The female supporting character's relationship gets exposed too; she gets pregnant, has an abortion, and breaks up, left emotionally and physically battered. Readers cheer at the fate of the only woman in an all-male world, leaving excited comments: Serves you right! That's what you get for dating!
The fickle, disposable love of heterosexuals is used to highlight the undying devotion of homosexuals, who would fly into the flames for love.
At the end of the fanfic, all the gay men publicly marry and receive the blessings of fans around the world, while the heterosexuals leave their groups and the industry and are cursed by everyone.
If she hadn't become a female supporting character in a danmei story, Lu Songxi wouldn't care about the message of this fanfic.
Because her world is small, full of flowers, trees, and vibrant life. Because her world is vast, filled with mountains, rivers, waterfalls, and towering grandeur.
She loves the blazing magma beneath her and the brilliant, songlike galaxy above, loves all of nature, with its flourishing plants and lively creatures.
But she simply doesn't love people or romance.
A heroine who has no interest in love or sex × someone yearning for her affection.
Content warning: Readers who are genuinely invested in shipping couples may feel called out.
Theme: Not loving people or romance
