Do You Really Have to Marry Me?

Coming next: The Flirty Crowd-Favorite Hooks the Cold-Faced Top

A flirtatious beauty meets a possessive, jealous sweetheart ^_^ Synopsis at the bottom~

Synopsis:

Lu You was known around the research institute for his cool, distant manner.

No one knew that when he got home at night, he would open his livestream and become Tower, a hugely popular relationship advice streamer whose advice never missed the mark.

Until one day, Lu You started his stream as casually as usual, when a shower of gifts suddenly flooded the room.

The person sending them said he wanted to marry him.

From then on, Lu You fell into the wolf's den. Not only was he unharmed, he thrived more than ever.

-

Zhong Qinian had enjoyed a privileged life since childhood and was naturally gifted at everything. He always had everything under control.

That is, until Tower dumped him.

He and his online sweetheart had been madly in love, chatting for nearly twenty-four hours a day. Tower was kind to everyone, but showed his vulnerable side only to him.

Then they finally got the chance to meet.

Tower left without a word, blocked him everywhere, and vanished without a trace.

Unable to make sense of it, Zhong Qinian lay low for six years, all for the chance to bring him back to his side.

-

After finding Lu You, Zhong Qinian carefully made his moves, tending to every detail of his life and emotional well-being. He even went into Lu You's own livestream to learn how to win him over.

If Lu You was too hard to figure out, then Zhong Qinian would let Lu You write an instruction manual himself.

The day the truth came out, Zhong Qinian pinned Lu You down on the sofa beside the fireplace, their breaths mingling.

"Big streamer, you taught me this in your livestream."

"Forgot already? I told you I'm someone who stops at nothing."

Coming soon: The Flirty Crowd-Favorite Hooks the Cold-Faced Top

[Flirtatious, coquettish beauty x cold-faced, secretly flirtatious, self-righteous act]

At seventeen, Ji Xun debuted overseas. With nothing but a face so beautiful it stunned the world, he became the fan-voted top idol.

Unfortunately, overnight, a flood of smear pieces came out. One by one, he was branded a disgraced celebrity, manipulative and immoral, and desperate for attention. Even clips that had once been praised were twisted against him.

With no connections to rely on, Ji Xun was forced to leave his group. Soon after, he received an invitation to join a domestic talent show.

He decided to throw caution to the wind. He set his sights on the man at the top of the pre-show rankings, the one sitting at the peak with an indifferent expression, and planned to mooch off as much of his fame as he could.

Ji Xun didn't bother to read the room. Whenever he saw Xu Baicheng, he went straight over, whining, acting sweet and pitiful, and pulling out every trick in the book.

"I won't take up too much of your time. Could you help me? I don't want people to keep attacking me."

"Brother Baicheng, did you save this spot for me?"

"I can't stand up. Big brother, can you take me back?"

His every word was bewitching, but all Xu Baicheng remembered was the pair of dewy eyes he'd seen at first.

One day, the practice room suddenly lost power. A pair of burning hands pinned Ji Xun in a corner, and a scorching kiss fell on him. It wasn't until he could barely breathe that he realized he'd taken things too far.

In the dark, Xu Baicheng's voice was restrained.

"Ji Xun, you were the one who came after me first."

-

Their relationship had gone from a one-sided arrangement of convenience to an official romance, and Ji Xun felt a little guilty.

But sometimes, there was no time to feel guilty.

His boyfriend might not say much, but he was so good-looking that he was a pleasure to behold. Ji Xun had no filter, whether with his words or his hands, and kept getting himself into trouble.

With a real couple's chemistry that no fake pairing could match, Ji Xun's popularity began to recover, and everything started to get back on track.

But right before debut night, Xu Baicheng suddenly wanted to break up.

He left with a stiff expression, as if someone had cheated him out of three hundred million.

Xu Baicheng left without looking back and became his ex-boyfriend. And then, incredibly

The day after their breakup, they debuted together.

The day after that, they were assigned to the same dorm room.

That night, Ji Xun felt a chill run down his spine.

Ji Xun: ...I thought I was the one who got dumped. Why does he look like a bitter wife?

-

Bonus scene:

By the third public evaluation, the number of contestants had dwindled, and Ji Xun and Xu Baicheng moved into the same dorm room, sharing a bathroom.

Beneath the swirling steam, Ji Xun's back met the cold, hard wall, and an inescapable kiss landed on him.

Ji Xun couldn't take it and begged for mercy in a soft, tearful voice.

Xu Baicheng remained unmoved, his voice low. "Why did you have to let someone else teach you?"

Ji Xun was about to explain, but Xu Baicheng didn't give him a chance. He only focused on capturing his legs.

"This is your punishment."

Reading Guide:

1. One-on-one romance, both leads' first love, and the happy ending is guaranteed.

2. The talent show format is based on domestic shows. Romance takes precedence over plot, and many of the details are just for fun, so don't take them too seriously.

3. The breakup is due to a misunderstanding. The story isn't angsty at heart. These two debut together the day after breaking up, share a schedule every day afterward... and even live together. You know how it goes. This isn't a gloomy romance ^_^

4. The characters are not based on real people. Not based on real people!

5. The synopsis has been slightly adjusted from its original version, but the overall story is unchanged. If this isn't your thing, feel free to pass.

Theme: Love flows toward those willing to love.
