Common English Title: Asteroid (NovelUpdates standard; associated name: Minor Planet)
❤️ Main Relationship
凌澈 (Ling Che) × 许棠舟 (Xu Tangzhou)
✨ Introduction
Little Planet is a show-business ABO that runs on a cosmic-scale misunderstanding. Ling Che is the reigning king of pop, an S-grade Alpha whose "scorching sun" pheromones dominate every room — and who has been hollow ever since his Omega disappeared one night four years ago, ending their relationship with a single message about their eighteen percent compatibility. Xu Tangzhou is a rookie idol with "fresh snow" pheromones, porcelain looks, and a fan-famous cold face. He is also missing five years of memory after a mudslide crushed his train and damaged his gland when he was eighteen.
Assigned as a contracted couple for a variety show, the two orbit each other badly: Ling Che, wounded and proud, reads Xu Tangzhou's politeness as amnesiac indifference; Xu Tangzhou, dreaming of a faceless Alpha and quietly falling for his cold co-star, has no idea the "wall" he is a fan of is the man he once promised his whole youth. The truth — that their compatibility was never eighteen percent, that someone rewrote the math, and that Xu Tangzhou loved Ling Che long before either of them had pheromones at all — detonates the novel's second half.
🌏 Background
The setting is a glamorous, faintly futuristic entertainment industry inside a gender-equal ABO society, where compatibility percentages are public knowledge and science claims to have love quantified. The story alternates the present-day machinery of celebrity — CP marketing, fans, endorsement shoots — with a past recovered piece by piece: a rainy afternoon, a borrowed bicycle, a signed album, and a villa where a fourteen-year-old met the "older brother" he would love for years. At the center stands the compatibility index itself: a number two boys were taught to trust, which lied to them, and which a young researcher friend eventually sets out to disprove.
🎭 Themes & Tone
- Love versus measurement: trusting a percentage over each other, and the cost
- Amnesia used for emotional irony rather than cruelty — he falls in love twice, on purpose
- Show-business satire: CP contracts, fan wars, and the theater of sincerity
- Healing from trauma that the injured party cannot even remember
- The long arc of first love, from fourteen to forever
Tone: sweet-sour — glossy entertainment-world comedy wrapped around a genuinely tender core.
👥 Main Characters
- 凌澈 (Ling Che) — the superstar Alpha; cold, possessive, secretly shattered; writes love he cannot say into songs and gifts
- 许棠舟 (Xu Tangzhou) — the rookie Omega; glacial outside, running a fandom in his head; braver about love than about his own past
- 仇音 (Qiu Yin) — Xu Tangzhou's roommate, a medical genius who discovers the compatibility readings were wrong and sets out to overturn a century of theory
- 秦宝 (Qin Bao), 丰成煜 (Feng Chengyu), 庄宸 (Zhuang Chen) — friends and side couples who carry their own beloved subplots
✨ Iconic Quote
- 凌澈 (Ling Che): "This little planet of mine only revolves around you." (我这颗小行星,只围绕你转动。) — the novel's signature line, from its official blurb
🎬 Adaptations
- Audio Drama: Completed — two seasons (main CVs Jing Xiangshuiyi × Su Shangqing; platform Unconfirmed)
🔥 Why It’s Popular
- The rare amnesia plot where the tension is tenderness, not frustration — every reread reweights every interaction
- "Eighteen percent compatibility, one hundred percent in love" became a fandom shorthand for the genre
- Ling Che is a flagship devoted-but-wounded gong; his quiet gestures (a little-planet necklace, an old signed album) are fandom canon
- The side couples — model and politician, actor and researcher — earned their own fanbases
- A rare entertainment-circle novel where the fans inside the story are written with affection instead of mockery
