Tian Tong is a no-frills female streamer in the League of Legends section of the Hakuang live-streaming platform. By "no-frills," we mean she never shows her face, never speaks, and never interacts. The camera in the lower-left corner only shows her hands working the keyboard and mouse.

Hakuang is celebrating its tenth anniversary, and one of the carnival events is a friendly match between female streamers and retired pro players. Tian Tong is a fan of retired player Huang Jingkai. Although she's so socially anxious she wishes she never had to leave home, she still signs up for the match just to see him.

On the flight to Bishui City, where Hakuang's tenth-anniversary event is being held, Tian Tong happens to run into Shen Sui, Huang Jingkai's former teammate and a retired top-lane pro who once led his team to victory at the world championship.

Rumors have long circulated both inside and outside the esports scene that the main reason all five members of the legendary KTG team retired around the same time was that Shen Sui and Huang Jingkai, who already didn't get along, got into a fight after losing an important match. The other three teammates, who tried to break it up, ended up in the hospital with them.

Besides being known as a prodigy and a champion top laner, Shen Sui has another notable trait: an extreme case of social overconfidence.

A socially anxious person runs into a social butterfly, and a fan meets her idol's sworn enemy. That's how this story begins.

From that chance encounter onward, Shen Sui's incessant chatter kept ringing in Tian Tong's ears, for a very, very long time.

Tian Tong, livestreaming: "Moderator, come here for a second and mute the number-one donor. This guy talks way too damn much. What? If we mute him, he won't send gifts anymore? Then I should thank him. Hakuang won't get to take a cut as the middleman anymore."

Shen Sui walked into the room Tian Tong used for streaming and said in a syrupy, affected voice, "Wifey, I want to file a complaint. The moderator in your livestream room muted me!"

The completed novel "Why Is Director Zhou Like This?" is also available. Feel free to check it out.

"After Becoming the Villain's Substitute Lover"

Blurb: Chen Yan is a female stand-up comedian known for her sharp wit, keen insight, and humor.

But life is unpredictable, and while any audience will have ordinary people, there are bound to be some with mental illness too.

During a small-theater performance, Chen Yan was stabbed by an audience member who suddenly rushed onto the stage, leaving her unconscious.

Her body was asleep, but her mind was out partying.

Chen Yan's consciousness entered a novel called "The Popular Idol Accidentally Wins the Film Emperor's Devoted Love." She became a supporting female character with the same name as herself: the substitute lover of the villainous boss, a woman whose only redeeming quality was her beauty.

The title alone tells you that the novel's male and female leads are a popular female idol who can sing and dance, has countless fans, and comes from a wealthy family, and a genius film emperor who swept all the major awards at a young age. But unlike other novels, no matter how impressive or loving the leads are, their achievements are limited to the entertainment industry. The true child of fortune in the novel's world is the heroine's brother, who shares neither parent with her: Chang Yi, the great villain who stands in the leads' way.

For some unknown reason, however, the novel's world developed an anomaly. The child of fortune's opportunities were repeatedly stolen, and the villain, who was originally destined to become the head of the most powerful family, ended up asking to leave the family business, becoming despondent and destitute, and dying young. In the end, the world collapsed.

Chen Yan's task after entering the novel's world is to maintain the villain boss's role as the chosen son of Heaven, reclaim the fortune that originally belonged to him, and preserve the balance of the novel's world. Once she completes her task, Chen Yan can wake up in the real world.
