A Guide to Getting Your Idol Boy Group Back Together

[48-member idol group story]

The story of Shiyiyu, the former fan-favorite pairing in Link, an idol theater group built around a nurturing concept, came to an abrupt end in the winter when they were eighteen.

Two months earlier, Ying Shiyue and Qiao Yi had just taken first and second place in the general election, full of confidence and ambition. Two months later, Qiao Yi left the group for no apparent reason and vanished without a trace, leaving Ying Shiyue alone and at a loss.

Overnight, Shiyi went from being a regular topic on RPS romance bots to the long-lost fan-favorite pairing that countless people still pined for.

Until four years later.

Ying Shiyue fell to fifteenth place in the sixth general election, at the lowest point of his idol career;

Qiao Yi suddenly returned to the public eye and announced that he was rejoining Link.

After the sixth election, Ying Shiyue unexpectedly ran into Qiao Yi backstage and heard him announce his return in person.

He thought about it and said, "I don't care."

Qiao Yi's sudden departure four years ago had hurt Ying Shiyue and everyone around him.

He had no intention of having any private involvement with this person again.

But things did not go as planned.

A few days later, to save his election ranking and fulfill a promise to his fans, Ying Shiyue finally agreed to room with Qiao Yi again and perform a duet onstage.

On the day of the stage performance, #ShiyiReunited# trended across social media.

The character designs are animal-inspired: a floppy-eared little bunny x an upright-eared puppy. In the setting, Xiao Yi's dog ears are a headband, but most of it is hidden in his hair, leaving only the ears visible. Anyway, please support the cutest bunny and puppy in the whole world >.<
