My Archenemy Forced Me in a Dream

STAR LIGHT is a hit boy-band competition show, and among its 99 contestants, Li Bai seems like an outlier.

He has a stunningly beautiful face that could earn him a spot in the final lineup on the spot. He's a true makeup expert, and his waist-length hair makes every look a showstopper.

What's more, he's a hard worker.

He dances nonstop for fifteen hours in the practice room, his translucent silk shirt damp and clinging to his back, outlining the delicate curve of his waist and the barely visible waist chain and navel piercing beneath it.

A trainee who has just entered stops in his tracks, his gaze growing heated despite himself.

At the public elimination competition, he appears in a vintage red dress that everyone else would avoid, performing in drag. His pale bare toes skim the water, and his long hair brushes across the other trainees' arms as he moves.

For a moment, the only sound onstage is the collective gulping of throats.

Li Bai's reputation changes quickly. In the blink of an eye, he goes from being called a “sissy” after the first performance to becoming “everyone's wife.”

The trainees who usually pride themselves on being straight start dropping hints as soon as he comes out publicly in an interview.

In the 24-hour livestream, fans of the contestants also start trying to pair their favorites with him.

But one member remains cool toward him, neither warm nor cold. Sometimes he looks at Li Bai with a smoldering gaze, fierce enough to devour him.

Li Bai doesn't understand. Even if he's homophobic, there's no need to hate him this much, is there?

Wen Ting is annoyed.

He's a hardline straight guy, but ever since joining the competition show, he's kept having strange dreams.

In them, Li Bai, dressed beautifully, always looks at him with those seductive eyes, his gaze unfocused and his eyelids flushed and damp, as if Wen Ting has been tormenting him terribly.

He thought it was only a dream, but when he woke up drenched in sweat in the dorm, a long, slender strand of Li Bai's hair was wrapped around his fingers.

No matter what he does, the Li Bai in his dreams clings to him like a demon, opening and closing his red lips to ask why he won't kiss him.

Wen Ting can take no more. He can't stop himself from pinning him beneath him...

He's made a mistake.

But without realizing it, he's also become completely unable to take his eyes off Li Bai.
