Love is what makes you feel inferior.
Shi Xia transmigrates.
He lands in a fantastical world.
Here, men can give birth, and women have genitals bigger than theirs.
Shi Xia is devastated. As a no-name actor ranked 108th tier, he'd just gotten lucky and landed his first supporting role as the third male lead. He hadn't even had time to get used to the script before opening his eyes in this terrifying world, which has six bathrooms.
And he's an omega.
Just as Shi Xia is about to cover his backside and focus on surviving in this world, he runs into his ever-present ex, Qin Ke. Shi Xia looks at the muzzle on his ex's mouth and grits his teeth. This guy has become an alpha, one of this world's absolute elite.
At their first meeting in this other world, Shi Xia's gaze travels down inch by inch from his ex-boyfriend's handsome face, to his solid arms, his strong waist, and then lower. His face turns red, and he runs away even faster, covering his backside.
He doesn't get away. Instead, he has to act in a film with Qin Ke. Watching Qin Ke surrounded by people, Shi Xia bites the hem of his shirt, eyes brimming with tears. They both transmigrated, so why is he still a nobody while Qin Ke has become a young movie star adored by everyone?!
His own failure is certainly a disappointment, but his ex's success is enough to make his world go dark.
Shi Xia is furious. Shi Xia is frustrated. Shi Xia accepts reality.
He'll work hard and strive to improve. He's determined to surpass Qin Ke. He'll become famous, he'll become a superstar!
Later, Shi Xia lies on Qin Ke's bed, flushed and burning with fever, and grabs Qin Ke, mumbling, "Hubby."
Qin Ke looks at him ominously. "Who are you calling hubby? Aren't you widowed?"
After attending countless breakup-drinking parties and eventually sitting in the front row at the wedding, Shi Xia's friend says with a sigh, "Well, there you have it. You'll be hating each other for the rest of your lives."
