What to Do When Pretending to Be an Alpha Gets Exhausting [Entertainment Industry] - Chapter 1

“You are mine.”

A deep, seductive voice rang by his ear.

Warm lips pressed against his ear, rubbing and teasing.

That voice again.

Ye Xingyuan tried to see the other person’s face, but this time, his vision was covered by a deep blue tie that had been pulled over his eyes.

Even his hands were restrained.

The play had been upgraded this time?

Ye Xingyuan started to look forward to it.

His mind wandered through several bold scenarios, and he even said loudly:

“Come on, don’t hold back just because I’m a delicate flower.”

……

“Brother Xing.”

Ye Xingyuan suddenly opened his eyes.

It was pitch black—he couldn’t see anything.

The strange sensation over his eyelids made him frown. He reached up and pulled it off—an eye mask in deep blue.

Damn. So close again.

If this kept happening a few more times, he was really going to be sexually frustrated.

“Brother Xing.”

The noisy voice beside him made him turn his head irritably.

A chubby boy was angrily gripping the seat in front of him, staring at his phone and cursing nonstop in internet slang.

Ye Xingyuan first froze, then calmly looked around.

He confirmed he was sitting in an unfamiliar van, and next to him was an open makeup kit.

An unfamiliar environment.

Unfamiliar people—but their way of speaking was strangely familiar.

He quickly realized: he had transmigrated into a book again.

Again, because this wasn’t his first time.

He had entered many different books.

After each world ended, his memories would become fragmented. He could only recall scattered pieces—never a complete story, never a single face of those “paper people.”

But the moment he entered a new world and regained consciousness, everything would immediately return.

He was a transmigrator, with a system named 001.

Before entering each world, 001 would implant the plot into him and assist him in helping characters who had awakened self-awareness fulfill their wishes.

His journey would never end, unless……

“Beep. Three-second countdown. Preparing to receive host memory. 3, 2, 1… complete. Congratulations, host, for unlocking the plot of “Omnipotent Alpha Information”.

As always, the original body shares your name and is also an Alpha, who became obsessed with a popular Omega……”

Ye Xingyuan interrupted immediately upon hearing “Alpha”:

“Again? Another Alpha? Don’t tell me not a single Omega ever awakens self-awareness?”

“None!”

“…If you had been silent for two more seconds, this wouldn’t sound so unconvincing.”

“Hehe, there will be chances in the future. Let me finish the mission first~”

Ye Xingyuan fell silent.

In reality, he was an Omega with an extremely sweet pheromone scent, yet in these books he always became an Alpha.

“The original host, due to his obsessive love for the popular Omega Su Luoqing, brought ruin upon his family. Before dying in regret, he finally awakened self-awareness and made three wishes……”

The original host was a male Alpha celebrity.

A cannon-fodder character in Omnipotent Alpha Information, one of the many suitors of the “popular Omega.”

Born into wealth—his father a nouveau riche, his mother from a scholarly family, an older CEO brother who doted on him, and a younger genius student brother who adored him.

He could have lived a carefree life, but he fell in love at first sight with Su Luoqing on screen.

To pursue Su Luoqing, he ignored his family’s objections and forced his way into the entertainment industry.

Though his talent was mediocre—bad at acting, singing, and dancing—he had a face that made up for everything.

A youthful, striking face that immediately gained him a wave of fans.

Even the media praised him as a “once-in-five-thousand-years handsome face.”

At first, thanks to his looks, he gained many opportunities and endorsements. But within two years, his low emotional intelligence and terrible personality offended everyone he worked with.

Once people knew he was in a project, they avoided it like the plague.

His roles dropped from lead to barely-speaking extras, and from serious dramas to trash web series.

A director of one of those web dramas even publicly exposed his bad behavior on set, causing him to be fully blacklisted online.

As a result, he became the target of mass online hate.

Meanwhile, the director and cast gained popularity.

On top of that, his clumsy pursuit of Su Luoqing made things worse after Su publicly criticized him on Weibo, destroying his remaining reputation.

His fanbase collapsed like a cliff.

……

“Stupid beyond saving.”

That was Ye Xingyuan’s four-word evaluation.

He glanced at the chubby assistant.

The assistant was still ranting angrily:

“That trash Pei Yanchen is seriously not human!”

Ye Xingyuan asked casually, “How so?”

The assistant turned red with anger:

“Brother Xing, didn’t you check Weibo? Your jewelry endorsement renewal got snatched again by Pei Yanchen!”

“HU brand too?”

“Yeah! He also took your variety show last month! Now he’s stealing your endorsements again! That HU deal alone is at least 20 million a year!”

“It’s annoying,” Ye Xingyuan said lazily.

“And his fans are still insulting you online! Calling you scheming, saying all kinds of things—I can’t even repeat it!”

Ye Xingyuan pressed his temples. “It is annoying.”

Being interrupted halfway through a dream like that—anyone would be annoyed.

The assistant shoved his phone over.

Ye Xingyuan looked at the post.

The screen was full of hostility.

【HU announces new ambassador: Pei Yanchen】

【Another endorsement stolen from Ye Xingyuan? That’s three this season already.】

【Stolen? Learn some literacy. Your idol is just low-tier, of course brands chose ours.】

【Anyone with eyes would pick Pei Yanchen over him. What are Ye fans even doing?】

【Copying airport outfits again? Please explain.】

【Wasn’t he the one who once cornered the “popular Omega” in a restroom stall at a wrap party?】

【Why hasn’t he been blacklisted yet?】

……

Ye Xingyuan frowned deeper and deeper.

It was a full-scale online attack.

After scrolling for a long time, he finally found a single supportive comment.

【Get lost haters. My husband’s face is once-in-five-thousand-years handsome. He looks good in anything. Jealous much?】

This…

No need to be this aggressive.

Still, at least it was real support.

Curious, he clicked the profile—and saw the pinned post.

A muscular man with chest hair, two ponytails, bright red lipstick, holding a rose and winking at the camera.

Below it, glowing blue text:

【Beloved ☆ Xingxingzi】

Ye Xingyuan: “……”

So this is the type of fans he has now?

He tossed the phone back.

“We’ve arrived at the studio,” the assistant said.

They got off the van and entered the set.

Inside the makeup room, someone was already being styled.

Only the back of the person was visible, heavily styled with gel.

The face was blocked by a cameraman.

Ye Xingyuan sat down casually, glancing at the mirror.

His own face reflected back—delicate, striking, with slightly upturned peach-blossom eyes and long lashes.

No wonder he had so many fans.

With this face, if he didn’t become famous, it would be an insult to heaven.

He pinched his cheek.

“How is such a seductive face an Alpha? Does the author have some kind of fetish?”

He leaned back, head tilted, gaze upside down.

On the wall were posters of the same person.

One stood out—a swimwear poster.

A man with sharp brows and deep eyes stared at the camera.

He wore a white shirt, soaked and clinging to his body, revealing sculpted chest and abs, with clear V-lines.

The shirt might as well not exist.

Alpha pheromones seemed to radiate off the poster.

Ye Xingyuan’s eyes lit up.

That’s it.

The perfect Alpha.

Every detail matched his aesthetic.

He swallowed.

“Brother Xing, I found the time—”

Before the assistant could finish, Ye Xingyuan grabbed his wrist.

Pointing at the poster, eyes flushed with excitement, he said:

“Within three minutes, I want all information on this Alpha.”

“Huh?”

Even the makeup artist and actor paused and looked over in disbelief.

Then the door opened.

The man from the poster stood there.

Real, taller, sharper, more overwhelming than the image.

The pressure of a top Alpha filled the room.

Just eye contact made the heart race.

Ye Xingyuan couldn’t look away.

“001… is my first love about to bloom?”

He stepped forward—

But the assistant quickly pulled him back and greeted:

“Brother Chen.”

Ye Xingyuan: “Chen-ge?”

001 chimed in:

“Wake up. That’s your rival.”

Author’s note: A true Alpha lets the rival take center stage.
