Toy-Making Livestream: The Top Gifter Got His Way

[Daddy-type top, straight bottom + top donor and streamer + heights 188/180 + campus + both each other's first]

Because of his debts, Wen Zhiyu has no choice but to livestream himself sculpting toys for an outsourced order from a toy company.

As a talented sculpture student at an art academy,

he should be like his classmates, talking about "social space as a field" and carrying a copy of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction, playing the part of an artsy intellectual.

But to make money, he puts on a fake pearl necklace and a white shirt, and lets his long black hair charm the top donor in his livestream until the man is completely smitten.

The man even sends him over a hundred thousand yuan in one go!

For money, Wen Zhiyu does whatever the top donor says, obediently calling him "Daddy" every other word.

That is, until the donor showers his livestream with enough money to land it on the platform's front page, earning him the Duke title.

But Wen Zhiyu is straight!

Online flirting is one thing. Who wouldn't want to rake in a fortune, then make a quick getaway?

And so the top donor gets himself a plane ticket, and Wen Zhiyu blocks him.

He got what he wanted. Was he really going to give himself to the guy?

Wen Zhiyu's life gradually starts looking up. The rich, handsome star of the neighboring top university suddenly gets close to him.

He treats Wen Zhiyu to meals, takes him to art exhibitions, and helps him find an apartment... He is always saying, "I admire your talent," then adding, "You have such beautiful hands. Can they do anything besides sculpt?"

Wen Zhiyu is moved to tears. At last, someone understands his art.

After a few rounds of drinks,

the man's features are striking, his brows and eyes sharp, yet he still wears a gentle smile. "Baby, do I look like your Daddy?"

Wen Zhiyu is stunned, all seven souls of this straight man scared right out of him. "M-Mister... you're the top donor?! I didn't mean to do it on purpose."

Chen An narrows his eyes. "Why are you calling me mister? Aren't we already soulmates? Didn't you say I understood your art?"

Wen Zhiyu struggles. "I'm straight."

Chen An smiles. "What a coincidence. So am I."

Wen Zhiyu is on the verge of tears.

What do you mean straight? You just fell in love with a man!

[Bonus Scene]

Some time later, Wen Zhiyu finally saves up enough money. In high spirits, he slaps a brand-new bank card down in front of Chen An, then turns to leave in style.

To his surprise, Chen An wraps an arm around Wen Zhiyu's waist and asks with a tender smile, "Wife, what do you mean by this?"

Wen Zhiyu immediately protests, "Who are you calling your wife? Our contract is over."

"What contract?"

Wen Zhiyu says, "The debt agreement. I've paid you back."

Chen An furrows his brow and asks with an amused, baffled smile, "Aren't we dating?"

Wen Zhiyu: ???

The scheming tycoon top lays a chain of traps, and the straight bottom stumbles into a scheme to turn him gay.

Tagline: He's actually so in love

Upcoming: My Ex Who Ascended to Immortality Loses It After I Become the Sect Leader of the Hehuan Sect

[Fake death + sickly bottom + emotionless cultivation top + 192/179 height difference + exploits a death-faking System bug to make his top "kill his wife to prove his Dao" for money]

After Hua Xu binds himself to a death-faking System, he transmigrates into a restricted-rated xianxia novel from Huashi.

In the original story, he is a beautiful expendable character. Born into the Hehuan Sect and frail in health, he is offered up as a cultivation furnace to the pure and aloof male lead, a cultivator of the heartless Dao.

The more devotedly he clings to the male lead, the more the man despises him. In the end, the male lead cuts the emaciated Hua Xu down with a single strike, then ascends to immortality.

Hua Xu: Tsk.

Now that he has a death-faking System, throwing himself at someone and getting killed is out of the question.

Before the Hehuan Sect can sell him off, Hua Xu pays a personal visit to the heartless Dao sect.

Under the male lead's utterly disgusted gaze, Hua Xu wears a red robe, revealing his sickly yet peerlessly beautiful face, and smiles. "Husband, I'm here to form a bond with you."

The entire heartless Dao sect: ??????

Even the male lead, whose bearing is as pure as frost, is dumbstruck.

The aloof male lead refuses the cultivation furnace. "Young Master Hua, don't joke around."

As the senior disciple of the mighty heartless Dao sect, how could he possibly marry a mere cultivation furnace from the Hehuan Sect?

Hua Xu coughs a few times. "Marry me, and I guarantee you'll ascend within three years."

And so Hua Xu, a lowly cultivation furnace from the Hehuan Sect, is carried into the room of Jiang Lin, the heartless Dao sect's senior disciple, in a bridal sedan chair borne by eight men, with red candles and wedding pastries.

Three years later, Jiang Lin kills Hua Xu with his own hands, proving his Dao by killing his wife. His heartless Dao reaches perfection, and he ascends to immortality.

Twenty years pass, and a remarkable young disciple appears in the Hehuan Sect.

He is stunningly beautiful and talented, but frail and haggard. According to certain rumors, he bears a striking resemblance to Hua Xu, who died by the sword of the heartless Dao sect leader all those years ago.

Hua Xu cheerfully clicks away at his abacus.

He's already exploiting a bug to fake his death as many times as he wants. Why bother cultivating to immortality?

He'll just start a "Hehuan Sect x Heartless Dao Senior Project Partnership" and make a fortune!

Hua Xu leads the Hehuan Sect disciples in dual cultivation with disciples of the heartless Dao.

If they can help the other party overcome a romantic tribulation, the heartless Dao sect pays ten thousand spirit stones.

If they can help the other party survive a heavenly tribulation, the heartless Dao sect pays a hundred thousand spirit stones.

If they can get killed to help someone prove their Dao by killing a spouse, the heartless Dao sect hands over all its assets.

Fifty years later, the Hehuan Sect leader passes the position to this shrewdest young business mind, Hua Xu.

With a series of clever maneuvers, Sect Leader Hua makes the Hehuan Sect the wealthiest sect in the cultivation world.

But don't ask how they made their fortune.

Hua Xu is fabulously wealthy. Aside from his frail health, which means he usually gets around in a wheelchair, he lives in dazzling splendor.

The Hehuan Sect disciples are radiant every day, while all the heartless Dao sect disciples ascend, leaving their sect deserted.

One day, a nearly bankrupt heartless Dao sect comes knocking at Hua Xu's door.

A gaunt old man leads a boy who is young, yet handsome and composed.

The old man gets right to the point. "Sect Leader Hua, our sect is on the verge of collapse. He's the only one left who cultivates the heartless Dao. If you can help him ascend, we'll give you every last asset our sect owns."

Hua Xu lowers his phoenix eyes and sees the boy's fair skin and icy expression. He bears a striking resemblance to Hua Xu's former husband.

Hua Xu crouches beside him and asks with a smile, "What's your name, child?"

"Jiang Xuanling."

How strange. Even his name is rather like his former husband's.

Hua Xu gives a light cough, takes the money, and holds Jiang Xuanling's little hand.

"Young man," the sickly beauty, as pale as a white fox, says with a smile. "From now on, I'll be your future wife, and you'll be my husband. When you turn eighteen, we'll form a bond."

Then, three years later, you'll kill me again.

Far above the clouds, thousands of miles away,

the male lead watches the Hehuan Sect grow ever stronger in the mortal world.

And the sect leader looks exactly like the wife who died tragically all those years ago. He smiles brilliantly, holding the hand of a boy who is almost grown.

Jiang Lin: ...

The ex-husband who ascended to immortality loses it.

[The ex-husband gazes down at you from the heavens in despair] [So why didn't you love me back then?] [Was I nothing but a means to an end to you?] [Wife, let's make up...]
