The Whole World Ships Me X My OTP

Lately, everyone in the music section of a certain site has been shipping a certain streamer with a certain singer.

Ever since hard evidence proved the two were living together, their ship's fans have had fresh sweetness every day.

Ship fans: "They're so sweet! They sleep in the same bed under the same covers!"

Yu Beichen: "Of course. People only have one body."

Ship fans: "They're so sweet! They're practically reading each other's minds, like they're the same person!"

Yu Beichen, wearing both secret identities: "Well... we are the same person."

Ship fans: "I don't care what you say. They'll end up having a whole litter someday!"

Cheng Ling is widely considered a piano prodigy, showered with accolades since childhood.

Detached and indifferent in this life, he has only ever loved one person besides the piano: Yu Beichen.

After the two broke up, Cheng Ling went abroad alone, vowing never to go back to an ex, until...

He saw Yu Beichen interacting with a certain singer on Weibo.

Cheng Ling raised an eyebrow, unmoved.

He heard Yu Beichen and the singer were wearing matching pajamas.

The piano lid slammed down on Cheng Ling's hand.

Rumor had it Yu Beichen and the singer had been seen going in and out of a couples' hotel together.

At three in the morning, Cheng Ling called: "Please book me a flight home, as soon as possible."

As a master of voice acting, Yu Beichen had avoided countless headaches in the years since breaking up with Cheng Ling.

When his friends showed off their relationships, he'd show off right back, switching between a little-girl voice and a mature-woman voice, sweet or cool as he pleased.

When his parents nagged him to find a partner, he'd hop onto an alt account, send a few voice messages in the relatives' group chat, and even score himself some red envelopes.

Even when Cheng Ling called...

Yu Beichen: "Sweetheart, let me introduce you. This is my older brother."

Yu Beichen, putting on a soft, sweet voice: "Hello, big brother. I'm his girlfriend."

Cheng Ling, who knew the truth: (coldly.jpg) "Quit pretending. Your voice gets much softer than that."

Yu Beichen: "...Holy crap QAQ#"

Reader's Guide and Content Notes:

1. 1v1, a second-chance romance sparked by shipping a fake couple. Sweet happy ending.

The protagonist is the uke. They dote on each other, they dote on each other, they dote on each other. Emphasis!!!

2. Clever, cheerful, happy uke x grumpy, aloof, powerful seme. Four-year age gap, seme is older.

3. The uke's streamer secret identity is his real self. He has an ulterior reason for using his singer secret identity.

4. Both leads come from musical families, but the author has limited musical knowledge, so expect occasional errors. Please enjoy the story and don't overthink it, w
