By day, Jin Yi is Shen Rong's quiet younger brother in the same group.
By night, Jin Yi is a dark, obsessive fan hiding under the covers to write "Me x Shen Rong".
He has never confessed his feelings to Shen Rong, because Shen Rong has a partner, and that partner is in their group.
SIXTHTIME, nicknamed the Six Gods, is a group on its sixth reincarnation. Its members are leader Shen Rong, vocalist Zhao Shuo, rapper Zhao Qingyu... and youngest member Jin Yi.
Every year, when they have a comeback and tour, they work together. But once the work is done, Jin Yi and Shen Rong have nothing to do with each other.
But Zhao Qingyu is Shen Rong's boyfriend, so they spend their time off together, too.
At those times, Jin Yi can only stay home writing stories and drawing fantasies about his dream guy to numb himself...
Before he knows it, he becomes a famous online Shen Rong superfan and the group's most devoted supporter of its most obscure ship, attracting countless fans who both love and hate him.
Until... while preparing for this comeback, Jin Yi discovers that...
Shen Rong might be single?
A few months later, the ship that the fan artist loved has become wildly popular, but the artist seems to have vanished and stopped updating for ages?
Fans: Big, please come back!! Your obscure ship has made it big!!!!
Jin Yi: Thanks for asking. I've already moved in. No need to worry.
In a nutshell: A brooding younger guy's quest to win back his love, from bittersweet pining to sweet romance~ From insecurity and fear of loss to being firmly chosen by love!
(Shen is a surname, pronounced the same as Shen.)

Seme: Brooding younger guy, jealous and possessive (short-tempered shut-in + absolutely refuses to share his fave)
Uke: Gentle, beautiful older guy
188 x 181, youngest member x leader, both visuals, rivals within the group, both among the most popular, but their ship is in the Arctic Circle
An unlikely ship becomes wildly popular
Reader's guide:
1. A sweet story about a seme who secretly loves an older uke and takes the lead~ No controlling-characters fans.
2. The seme is just a little clingy and moody, with perfectly sound values~ I'll aim for a slightly gloomy but relatively lighthearted tone~
3. No real-life models. This is my version of the entertainment industry, with lots of headcanons, so don't overthink it!
4. For the sake of your heart, be careful about reading this from the perspective of a solo fan!
Message: The courage not to give up on loving someone
