After the Everyone's Favorite Tried to Save Themself and Crashed

A proud, vindictive, irresistible charmer vs. a sensitive, affection-starved, green-tea puppy of a top

Plum wine vs. grapefruit

Yu Shu, the famously untouchable darling of the empire, was raised in the lap of luxury. Then, to his shock, he dreamed that he was merely a cannon-fodder side character in a hit novel.

What a joke! Was he the sort of person who would stand meekly around waiting for someone to hit him?

But as soon as he stepped outside, he ran into the destitute puppy he'd picked up on the street. He recognized him almost immediately: Ji Yanjing, the original novel's male lead.

Putting everything else aside, the man's looks were exactly to his taste. He seemed obedient and harmless, but was really a wolfish Alpha ready to fight back at any moment.

How had he only just realized that he was merely a weak Omega who couldn't even hurt a fly?

To prevent the tragedy that was supposed to happen later, Yu Shu planned to treat Ji Yanjing neither well nor badly. He would just keep his distance.

But things didn't go according to plan...

At a virtual filming studio

Yu Shu was chatting idly with a friend when Ji Yanjing, who had been filming in the distance, hurried over and snatched the soda from his hand.

"You'll get a stomachache if you drink that," Ji Yanjing said with concern.

Yu Shu was silent for two seconds, then replied, "Don't you think you're overstepping?"

But this six-foot-tall man actually teared up in front of him and quietly explained, "Can't I even care about you...?"

Yu Shu put on a stern face. "I don't need you to care about me."

Yu Shu's inner thoughts: It's not that I don't want to treat you well. It's just that you were so cruel to me later...

At a famous awards ceremony

Yu Shu, as one of the investors, had been seated in the very center. He watched Ji Yanjing, a newcomer, suffer one unreasonable demand after another without saying a word.

Unable to contain his anger, Yu Shu went over and pulled Ji Yanjing away.

Ji Yanjing followed meekly behind him. After a long while, he reached out and tugged at Yu Shu's sleeve, pleading, "I was wrong. Don't be mad. Could you please talk to me?"

Yu Shu froze. He'd treated the man so badly, so why was he still clinging to him?

"I'm not ignoring you." Only after a long pause did he turn his head and manage to get the words out.

At a quiet bar

He was surrounded by people playing the King game. They were egging him on to choose someone there and kiss them for three minutes when the door suddenly swung open. Yu Shu looked up blearily, drunk, and saw Ji Yanjing looking miserable as he scooped him into his arms and bent down to kiss him.

After the kiss, Ji Yanjing said in a wounded voice, "We agreed there could only be one of me by your side."

After the story veered off course, a rumor suddenly spread through the empire, stirring the entire royal family of the federation. Yu Shu was preparing to leave, but another midnight found Ji Yanjing binding his hands and feet.

He frowned and struggled. "What are you doing? You... You have the nerve to cry while tying me up!"

Ji Yanjing's voice was hoarse. He rubbed against Yu Shu's gland, half threatening and half pleading. "There are too many people coveting you. I'm going to mark you."
