Weibo: Lord Duxiao. There's a group for all the lovely readers on Weibo. This is the follow-up to Vanity, so come on in!
One day, top-tier star Ye Lan finds an unremovable idle game on his phone. He draws a paper-doll character named Yue Ying, a tragic major villain from the book Immortal Fate.
Ye Lan gets it: just another lousy game cashing in on an IP's popularity, charging 998 for every little thing!
But later...
Looking at the villain boss huddled in a dilapidated shrine, covered in blood and barely clinging to life, he nervously spends ten yuan to exchange for a Spirit-Gathering Pill.
After that, peerless cultivation techniques, treasures from the mortal and immortal realms, miraculous pills and medicines, none of them are out of reach... In the end, Ye Lan grits his teeth as he realizes that while everyone else is working hard to earn money for cars and houses, he's become the sugar daddy of a paper doll!
So Ye Lan realizes something else: it makes you grind like crazy and still tricks you into spending. What a lousy game!

Yue Ying has a secret.
The day he was cast out of his sect, his cultivation foundation was destroyed, he was blinded, and he was gravely injured. As his consciousness faded, he suddenly felt something appear in his hand.
From then on, even life-or-death dangers, whether a mountain of blades, a sea of fire, or an abyss with no bottom, all lay beneath his feet.
Yue Ying had no heaven-defying luck, nor any extraordinary golden finger. He had crossed a sea of blood and passed through years of peace, journeying across countless rivers and mountains, all so he could split heaven and earth with one sword and tell Ye Lan to his face:
"I'm here."
A proud, prickly, beautiful and kind-hearted shou x a tragic, gloomy, obsessive, and cold gong
P.S. This is a raising-sim app story, not an age-gap romance. Both gong and shou are adults, and it's 1v1. The gong has it very rough early on.
P.S. Lots of personal worldbuilding, no real game inspiration, and not a typical otome game.
P.S. The timeline jumps around, and there are transmigrate elements too, depending on the game's updates!
P.S. Please add it to your reading list and take the plunge! This follows an esports novel.
Theme: There's no problem that spending money can't solve.
