Wei Yanzi and Gu Yiliang burst onto the acting scene together, igniting a rivalry fueled by their shared debut. But while Gu Yiliang dazzles with his acting prowess and idol-worthy looks, Wei Yanzi finds himself in the shadow with only his striking appearance to boast. Amid the barrage of online hate from Gu Yiliang's fervent admirers, Wei Yanzi's patience wears thin.
When Wei Yanzi stumbles upon an online community totally convinced there’s a romantic entanglement between the two actors, he is initially shocked but soon finds solace in their speculation as he immerses himself in their discussions.
Though their relationship is purely professional, Wei Yanzi can't shake the growing sense that maybe the shippers are onto something. As he spends more time with Gu Yiliang, lines blur, and Wei Yanzi begins to wonder if there might, after all, be truth behind the fan-fueled fantasies!
I Ship My Rival x Me Vol. 1 was so cute I couldn't stop reading when I started. I loved the premise and both Wei Yanzi and Gu Yilang were interesting characters who clearly both have a lot of backstory to share as the series progresses. The illustrations were gorgeous and in full colour throughout. If you enjoy cute BL romance with handsome leads and plenty of adorable moments, I Ship My Rival x Me is a series I would recommend. I love how it plays on fanfiction and shipping and has that vibe about its own storyline. I would definitely like to read on in volume 2. I am giving this first volume 4.5 stars.
I received this book as a free eBook ARC via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
