[EABO worldbuilding + transmigrate-into-a-book System + mutated pheromones + two lunatics + two powerhouses + one-on-one romance]
[Younger, unhinged, straightforward Enigma top x cold, world-weary beauty villain bottom]
Chu Yan, a top-tier star Alpha singer, blacked out during a concert. When he opened his eyes again, he found that he had transmigrated into a novel called Against the Blaze, becoming a deranged cannon-fodder character who loved the protagonist bottom but could never win his heart, and who was eventually framed, driven to bankruptcy, and left to die on the street.
The smell of disinfectant still lingered in the luxurious hospital room when a cold mechanical voice rang out in his mind:
[Warning: Abnormal world coordinates detected. Final mission loaded: eliminate the world-ending villain, Gu Qingxian! Deadline: 365 days. Failure will trigger the soul-erasure protocol!]
Chu Yan clutched his pounding head, aching from the original owner's drunkenness, and looked up irritably. The wall-mounted smart TV was playing financial news.
On screen, a man in a custom black suit, with exquisitely handsome features and gloomy, icy eyes, was attending a top-level summit. His gaze, behind gold-rimmed glasses, was so sharp it seemed able to pierce the screen.
The System urged him sharply: [Target locked: Gu Qingxian, CEO of the Gu Conglomerate. Threat level: SSS+! Host, formulate an assassination plan immediately!]
But Chu Yan stared at that face, which combined restrained elegance, aloofness, and a hint of broken beauty, and felt his heartbeat suddenly go haywire.
[...Assassinate him? This is clearly my ideal wife made flesh!]
He scoffed, promptly tossed the System's assassination mission into the recycling bin, and started searching for every public appearance on Gu Qingxian's schedule.
The next day, at a much-anticipated high-tech industry launch, Gu Qingxian had just finished a dazzling speech and was surrounded by reporters.
Amid the flashing camera lights, someone carrying a huge, flamboyant bouquet of Ecuadorian roses ignored the security guards' attempts to stop him and strode straight through the crowd.
Chu Yan unceremoniously shoved the roses into Gu Qingxian's arms as he stood there stunned. Facing countless cameras and astonished gazes, he flashed a brilliant, brazen smile.
"President Gu, your presentation was wonderful. And you're even more wonderful. Starting today, I'm officially pursuing you."
An unexpected elevator accident caused their pheromones to briefly run wild and clash in the cramped space. In that instant, Chu Yan caught a completely different voice that had flashed through Gu Qingxian's mind:
System: [Alert! Target's corruption level +5! Host is neglecting the mission. Level-one punishment initiated!]
Chu Yan (thinking): [Tsk, that hurts like hell... But the way his eyelashes tremble when he's startled is kind of cute.]
Gu Qingxian froze, his pupils contracting slightly behind his gold-rimmed glasses.
Things spiraled even further out of control when Chu Yan was seriously injured protecting him from a violent business-related kidnapping targeting Gu Qingxian.
After waking from a coma that lasted several days, Chu Yan underwent a second differentiation under extreme stress, and his pheromones mutated into those of an Enigma, a rank superior to all Alphas.
