Our Group Is Done For!!

A goofy shou who's aloof by design but a bit dim x a short-tempered, awkward gong who's a flirtatious young master by design

The top-tier star boy band is on the verge of falling apart. Their accumulated conflicts can't be resolved, and disbandment is inevitable. Today is their final farewell concert.

Hong Zhiyan doesn't want that, after all, he's a beastman and will live longer than humans. The group's current "pension" won't keep him going for a thousand years, let alone longer.

But little people have no say! He's just the group's mascot. What right does he have to speak up?

"Whatever, let's disband!" Hong Zhiyan gives in. He can sing on the streets and hawk products afterward. Anything but going back to the beastman realm. That would be worse than death!

But fate gives the group some "superglue": a fresh start!

The four of them return to the beginning of their careers, with even their funds reset to zero.

After being reborn, Hong Zhiyan expects them to focus on their careers. Unexpectedly, though, he finds himself in a romance plot.

Hong Zhiyan notices that Xu Xiao has gotten even more short-tempered. Having him cling to him isn't scary, but the scary part is that he bullies him, too!

And the biggest surprise of all: Hong Zhiyan has a terminal illness?!

"I must have gotten sick from all this intense pressure!" Hong Zhiyan complains.

Since being reborn, every time he sees Xu Xiao, his heart races. Is he about to die?!

Cats don't understand love, but Xu Xiao does.

He's been working on winning over the silly cat Hong Zhiyan all along. He can't understand how the guy still doesn't get it when he's been so obvious: carrying him bridal-style, bathing him, licking his fingers...

How is he still clueless?

Then one day,

Xu Xiao made his move!

"I've made it this obvious. You get it now, right?"

"Little Tip"

Hong Zhiyan is terrified of being alone with Xu Xiao. He has no romantic experience, but Xu Xiao seems like an expert, with all sorts of tricks at his fingertips.

Hong Zhiyan is thoroughly pampered, lying on his side in bed while holding Xu Xiao's finger.

Hong Zhiyan falls asleep. Xu Xiao secretly browses his phone: Kissing Techniques, Bedtime **, How to Make Your Partner Happy, and fanfiction about the two of them.

"What are you grinning at?"

"I'm studying some techniques."

Hong Zhiyan rolls his eyes in disdain.

"Watch out, or I'll bite your ear."

"...I'm sorry."
