Note: The original blurb was set against the backdrop of a boy band survival show. It has now been changed to livestreaming and roommate fiction.
Shu Yi, five-time winner of the Golden Voice Award, had just announced his retirement when he was hit by a truck.
The good news: He transmigrated and didn't die.
The bad news: He transmigrated to an unfamiliar world.
Given a second life, Shu Yi didn't want to work himself to the bone every day.
The good news: He'd transmigrated into the body of an ordinary college student, the kind who disappeared into a crowd.
The bad news: The college student was a streamer, and the penalty for ending his contract and leaving the platform was enough to keep him working for three lifetimes.
The even worse news: He was also bound to a System that made him more beautiful the more fans he had.

To get through his contract in peace, Shu Yi planned to stream as a faceless, silent, unresponsive background character.
Comment 1: [Why's Brother Yi so quiet today? Not using a voice changer to bait people anymore?]
Shu Yi was horrified and searched his phone for the fish the original owner had caught: 1234.
Comment 2: [Why not bait a few little Omegas? We're tired of watching you bait Alphas.]
Shu Yi was bewildered and looked up the meaning of Alpha and Omega on his phone.
Comment 3: [Brother Yi, are you feeling unwell today? Say something.]
Shu Yi hesitantly said, "Hello."
Comment 4: [Holy crap, Brother Yi, did you transition? Why does your voice sound so different?]
Comment 5: [Is that a new voice changer? Drop the link!]
System: [Fans +100]
System: [Congratulations, Host! You've received a thick head of hair that stays silky and smooth no matter how it's permed or dyed!]
Thick hair, natural brows, clear eyes that shimmer like flowing water, delicate, snow-white skin, and more...
And an increasingly rich, intoxicating pheromone scent.
At first, Shu Yi thought, Good thing I'm a Beta.
Later, he sniffed the scent on his body, which no other scent could overpower, and made a dead-fish-eyed face.jpg.

The residents of Dorm 406 in Building A had been finding things a little strange lately.
At some point, the quiet, taciturn Shu Yi had transformed from a greasy couch potato into a beautiful presence whose aura couldn't be concealed even by a mask.
As Shu Yi walked past in his mask, a scent that wasn't overpowering but was unexpectedly alluring drifted into the noses of every Alpha roommate.
Roommates: ...Is that really an Alpha's scent?
*
His younger childhood friend, all bright-eyed and unable to bear watching him waste his potential, came running over and wrapped Shu Yi in his arms.
His broad shoulders and back held Shu Yi firmly in place.
Leaning against Shu Yi's shoulder, the childhood friend boldly brushed Shu Yi's reddening ear with his lips, right in front of everyone secretly harboring improper thoughts. His voice was sweet and cloying. "Yiyi, you're getting better and better. Be careful, or people will start coveting you."
Everyone: ...You're the one who covets him most.
* The CP is probably a sunny, cheerful puppy x a lazy, beautiful, Golden Voice Award-winning kitty.
* The puppy is not a roommate.
* I don't watch many livestreams, so this isn't realistic.
* Alphas and Omegas are equal.
* No-brain, everyone-loves-the-protagonist story.
* More to come as I think of it.
