·Wen Shi x Song Qixue
Blurb:
Wen Shi and Song Qixue live right across the hall from each other, and they’ve never gotten along.
They fought over the tastiest little cakes in kindergarten, battled for the top spot in class in elementary school, competed in the same event at middle school sports day, and even insisted on choosing the same major in college, just so they could outdo each other on the same playing field.
Everyone who knows them jokes that they’re natural-born archenemies, incapable of having a peaceful moment together.
Wen Shi is alluring; Song Qixue, on the other hand, is cool and aloof.
Wen Shi is direct and gets even on the spot; Song Qixue keeps her feelings hidden and prefers to settle scores later.
Afraid that romance might slow them down when it came to drawing swords against each other, both stayed single through graduate school, still without a clear winner.
But failing to find jobs they liked dealt them both a harsh blow.
At a loss, a mutual friend came up with a plan:
“With faces as marketable as yours, you should be making money online!”
“Know what kind of account takes off easily these days? Lesbian influencers! You’ve known each other for years, and neither of you has an ex anywhere online! You’re natural-born lesbian bait!”
“Sell it hard! Sell it like you’ve forgotten the whole world exists! You’re sure to go viral!”
Wen Shi and Song Qixue exchanged a glance, then both turned away.
“I can play lesbian, but not with her!”
“Playing lesbian with her would be the same as risking my life!”

Not long afterward, a lesbian influencer duo called "Snow in the Greenhouse" appeared out of nowhere. The two leads weren’t just stunning, they were childhood sweethearts who had finally overcome every obstacle and ended up together.
Their first hand-holding photo had netizens screaming, and they gained a hundred thousand followers in less than three days.
Their first everyday cohabitation vlog got over two million likes, with fans shipping them like crazy and writing fanfic left and right.
Their very first livestream drew a wealthy fan who threw six figures at them, just to hear their love story.
...Their love story?
Wen Shi played it cool. “I had a crush on her. Why else would I have gone to the same university?”
Song Qixue didn’t bat an eye. “I had a crush on her too. Why else would I have picked the same major?”
The livestream chat was going wild shipping them, with no idea that once the stream ended, the two straight women were staring each other down.
Wen Shi sneered. “Heh. You’re just used to competing with me!”
Song Qixue raised an eyebrow. “You’re the one who can’t live without me, aren’t you?”
Yet when they each returned to their bedrooms, neither could sleep until dawn.
One night, Wen Shi was unable to sleep again.
With sore, aching eyes, she got up and knocked on Song Qixue’s door. “People in the livestream asked what kissing feels like tonight, and I almost didn’t know how to answer. Come try it with me, so we don’t get found out.”
The door opened. Song Qixue was wearing a sexy nightgown.
She curled the corner of her eye and drew Wen Shi close by the waist. “They asked even more intimate questions, too. You’re welcome to discuss them with me, Miss Wen. We can write a paper about it afterward.”

The followers of Snow in the Greenhouse noticed that their favorite influencers had disappeared for half a month.
Everyone was in a panic, thinking the two had broken up.
Two days later, a new post finally appeared on Weibo: a photo of Wen Shi sleeping peacefully in Song Qixue’s arms.
The caption read: [We’ve been writing papers every day lately. It’s worn us out.]
Seeing the hickey marks on their necks, the fans were left speechless: [What?! Ahhh!]
Their mutual friend was just as stunned, bombarding them with messages: [Since when did you start calling it "writing papers"?]
