[The original idea has been around too long, and I can't find any inspiration. Switching to a new story for the next one!]
Wen Zhao transmigrates into a book.
He becomes a cannon-fodder streamer sent by his company to seduce a rich mogul, only to be rejected and meet a tragic end.
The first thing he does when he opens his eyes: run! A breach-of-contract penalty? His life matters more!
So he switches platforms and decides to be a faceless singing streamer, quietly making money to pay off his debts and keeping his head down until the plot ends.
But strangely, Shen Yanli, the big shot who barely appears in the book, keeps showing up out of nowhere.
Wen Zhao sings a love song on his livestream. Shen Yanli sneers: "Are you hinting at something?"
They run into each other in the elevator. Wen Zhao politely greets him, and Shen Yanli raises an eyebrow: "Are you arranging chances to see me?"
Wen Zhao goes to the break room to make coffee. When he sees Shen Yanli, he instinctively tries to avoid him, but a hand grabs his wrist.
Shen Yanli says in a voice full of meaning: "Is this... playing hard to get?"
Wen Zhao: "...Hey, do you have some kind of delusion that everyone is trying to seduce you?"
Shen Yanli stares at him. "No. I just think you know all the tricks for luring people in."
Then he adds unhurriedly, "Besides, I wouldn't mind if you tried to lure me in."
Wen Zhao: "?"
#I just want to make money and pay off my debts! The big shot insists I'm seducing him!#
#How to stop a perpetually single big shot from imagining things#
But on the night they officially confirm their relationship and go on their first date, Wen Zhao suddenly learns that the rich mogul his predecessor was forced to "seduce" was Shen Yanli.
His mind goes blank. His ears burn with embarrassment, and his voice trembles. "I... I was wearing... it wasn't..."
Shen Yanli replies lazily, "Mm. I think it was a... semi-sheer shirt?"
He pauses, his gaze turning intense. "Too bad it was so dark. I couldn't see clearly."
Then he steps closer, his fingertips landing at Wen Zhao's waist, his voice low and suggestive.
"How about... putting it on for me now?"
A faceless singing streamer has quietly appeared on a livestreaming platform.
His singing is astonishing, his emotional delivery too precise for a newcomer, and he has an incredible command of every style.
Netizens speculate: Is he a shy old-school artist, or a techie who relies on pitch correction?
Then one day, a livestream mishap accidentally reveals his face.
After a few seconds of silence, the comments explode.

"Singing is my first love, and his face is my moonlight!"
"He doesn't hide his face because he's shy. He's afraid we'll love him too openly!"
He simply raises his eyes and says coolly:
"Do I have to explain my feelings just to sing a song? Are you here to listen to music or write an essay?"
"I'm not aloof. I just... don't really want to put on a smile."

"He's such a straight-talking guy, hahaha!"
"He's not human, he's one of the Trisolarans!"
Years later, the faceless singing streamer has risen to the top of the music world.
And on the day he and Shen Yanli announce their relationship, the whole internet goes wild.
Everyone says they are the most beautiful song in each other's destiny.
