A Straight-Up Puppy Lands in an ABO World and Becomes a Top-Tier Star

Cheerful puppy-like straight top × aloof, possessive alpha bottom. He falls for him despite himself, and the straight guy gets turned. Younger top, with an age and status gap. Read the details before you start. Yu Yao was accidentally hit and sent flying by a drunk driver, then transmigrated into a world with six genders. He was the only person without heat or rut cycles, completely unaffected by pheromones: a straight man through and through, otherwise known as a beta. To survive, Yu Yao signed a "contract of servitude" and was forced to join a talent show. In the ABO world, betas were mediocre "worker ants," and the looks-driven entertainment industry was unquestionably dominated by alphas and omegas. When Yuehe Entertainment announced its roster of trainees, one beta was listed only by name and silhouette. The mysterious reveal earned plenty of mockery. But when the show premiered, the 188-centimeter-tall Yu Yao stood among the alphas and omegas with a bright, sunflower-like smile. He was prettier than the omegas and more handsome than the alphas, dazzling the entire audience. The people who had laughed at him and watched for a spectacle promptly changed their tune. Even the top-tier alphas and omegas, who usually thought very highly of themselves, went wild voting for him: Little Fish, I'm yours! Among them was Huo Tingyuan, chairman and CEO of the Huo Group, an elegant, icy-blooded capitalist. He'd taken Yu Yao in with the sole intention of turning him into a marketable entertainment product. But this puppy was passionate and sincere, with a sweet naivete that didn't belong in this world. He kept bouncing happily around Huo Tingyuan. He'd lean over the table, eyes sparkling, and remind him, "Brother Huo, did you eat properly?" He'd travel a thousand miles to bring him a gift, stand unwaveringly by his side, and declare frankly, "Of course I'm biased toward you, Brother Huo." Huo Tingyuan's principles began to waver. Maybe having a puppy around wasn't so bad. Always a decisive man of action, he made his move, wrapped an arm around the back of Yu Yao's neck, and kissed him. To his surprise, Yu Yao jumped three feet away, wiping his mouth hard as every hair on his body stood on end. "That'll cost extra!!!" Huo Tingyuan: "?" Yu Yao: "I'm straight, totally straight!!!" Huo Tingyuan: "What nonsense are you babbling about now?" As the biggest spender in Yu Yao's fan club, Huo Tingyuan was a practiced regular in every corner of the fandom. When he saw all the over-the-top praise, he merely sneered and held out a hand to the person beside him, who was engrossed in a video game. Yu Yao glanced over. "What?" He put down the controller and obediently leaned against him. Huo Tingyuan bent down, gripped his chin, and let his pheromones seep into every part of Yu Yao. His tone left no room for argument: "Mine." Yu Yao still couldn't sense the intense possessiveness in Huo Tingyuan's pheromones, but that didn't stop him from happily giving Huo Tingyuan a kiss. "Your pheromones have practically cured me into salted fish jerky." The elegant, icy Huo was completely unrecognizable during his rut. He built a nest with Yu Yao's clothes, clung to him shamelessly, and bit the back of his neck where there was no gland. Never getting any response from a bonding mark, he could only bury his face in Yu Yao's neck, restless. "Yao Yao, don't go." ABO setting includes original worldbuilding. The top and bottom are eight years apart; both are equally and intensely into each other. Neither has been with anyone before. No real talent-show competition; it's all for the story. No switching or reverse-dream content. The only romantic pairing is the top and bottom; everyone else is platonic. Reader's guide: 1. The bottom has a bad temper and takes time to fall in love. The two treat each other as special and make exceptions for each other throughout the story; their mutual feelings are intense and obvious. 2. This isn't a serious talent-show novel; the show is just the start of the top's rise to stardom, and there's plenty about his career. 3. The top isn't sexually weak. Not recommended for readers who treat the characters as fixed archetypes or expect the top to behave a certain way, or for readers with strict character-role preferences. If you drop the story or take sides, please do so quietly without making a declaration. I Am the Heart's Desire of the Great Villain Demon King Ruan Yuanbai was a country dog who transmigrated into an old-fashioned, melodramatic revenge novel and was adopted by the story's great villain demon king. The villain, Xi Ningyu, was a highly intelligent, antisocial psychopath, ruthless and cruel. He was still lying low for now. According to the plot, he'd soon turn on the protagonist, become head of his family, make countless enemies, and face constant assassination attempts. And every major character in the book was a dangerous criminal. Any one of the things they did would earn at least ten years in prison. In the end, it was kill or be killed. As the villain's only precious pet, Ruan Yuanbai thought: Goodbye, Dad. I'm going to be homeless tonight. The System: "Don't panic. There's still time. Change them before the plot gets going." To stay alive, Ruan Yuanbai returned to his old trade after years away from being a pet. The villain and protagonist squared off, ready to fight. He wedged himself between them and barked, "Guys, calm down. Do it for the dog." The villain planned to kidnap the protagonist and use him as leverage. Ruan Yuanbai clamped his teeth around the villain's pant leg to stop him and barked, "Crime might feel good now, but you'll be crying behind bars later." The villain clashed with his nemesis, and the subordinates all cocked their guns. Ruan Yuanbai ran back and forth between them, trying to calm everyone down. "Ever heard of making money through peaceful cooperation?" Fortunately, the villain was crazy but genuinely loved dogs. He was a good owner and listened to what his dog said. * At first, Xi Ningyu had adopted a country dog on a whim, purely because it looked handsome and cool, like a dog worthy of him. He didn't expect much from it. As long as it was smart enough to read the room, that was fine. But Xiaobai turned out to be very perceptive. He spent all day whining in Xi Ningyu's arms or following him everywhere. If Xi Ningyu talked to someone else for too long, Xiaobai would join in, afraid of being left out. If Xi Ningyu tried to go out, Xiaobai would bite his pant leg and refuse to let him leave, unable to bear being apart from him. If Xi Ningyu traded barbs with his nemesis, Xiaobai would try to soothe him, worried he might be upset. He was always there where Xi Ningyu would see him first, his amber eyes filled with Xi Ningyu at all times. He'd never met a dog so clingy and affectionate. And to Xi Ningyu's surprise, he seemed to like it. [System notification: Affection +1,000] * After doing a diligent job for a while, one evening the System suddenly lit up: Affection has reached the amount needed to transform. Exchange now? The next day, Ruan Yuanbai woke to the System's voice: "The villain's affection for you has exceeded one million in a single instance! The prize pool is now fully open to you." Ruan Yuanbai opened his eyes blearily and saw Xi Ningyu staring at him, his gaze frighteningly intense, his Adam's apple bobbing. "...Exchange for [Mind Reading]." The next second, Xi Ningyu's thoughts came crashing down on him: "So pretty, so cute, I want to fucking kiss him. Would kissing him to death count as murder?" Murder? His thoughts were still going downhill. The reformation hadn't gone far enough. Not realizing he'd transformed, Ruan Yuanbai climbed into Xi Ningyu's arms as usual, ready to start his lesson in good behavior. Then he realized that Xi Ningyu had gone stiff as a steel girder. ...Was it too late to turn back into a puppy? * The reformation was in full swing. The revenge, betrayal, and taking advantage of others in their hour of need that should have appeared in the original novel never came to pass. The plot charged toward a harmonious future. Xi Ningyu eventually learned he was the villain of a novel, but he didn't care. "Without Xiaobai, you can all go die." The other major characters also graduated from Xiaobai's Reform Center. They could sit down and share a drink in peace, as long as Xiaobai was there. Ruan Yuanbai: "Call me the Peace Dog." The world is falling apart, and the puppy is here to patch it up. Cheerful puppy × wild villain Reader's guide: A silly comedy. The top and bottom are intensely into each other, and their relationship is very affectionate. The other characters are mostly platonic. This isn't a conquest story. A happy puppy doesn't need to win anyone over; he'll heal everyone just by being himself. Theme: Lonely people warm each other up
