The Whole World Thinks I'm a Man in Women's Clothing [Esports]

[New Novel: Nineteen Prisons [Infinite]] is now available~ Xue Lan transmigrates into a danmei novel and becomes a cannon-fodder member of the male leads' gaming team: he schemes against the protagonist gong and eventually gets kicked off the team. All he wants is to play some games and, on the side, watch two powerful men join forces, fall in love, and fight each other. He never expected that one day, everyone would think he had joined the club disguised as a girl. Then everything takes a sudden turn: Teammate A: Lanlan, you can have all these snacks. Teammate B: Lanlan, just tell us if you need any supplies. Fans A, B, C, and D: Lanlan, you're our treasure and our pride! We're cheering for you! The protagonist gong, Wen Yan, tosses him materials he's spent ages grinding for: Keep up. Don't think you'll get special treatment just because you're a girl. Xue Lan: ...I'm really a guy. Sadly hugging a pile of snacks and gifts, Xue Lan walks through the garden and spots the protagonist shou, Duan Wenzheng, sitting alone beneath a tree. Duan Wenzheng is a formidable A and Wen Yan's teammate, often neck and neck with him on the rankings as they love and fight in equal measure. Right now, he seems upset after losing a solo practice match. Thinking about how Duan Wenzheng is about to become the shou for love, Xue Lan hurriedly stuffs all his snacks into his hands. Xue Lan's eyes shine: Don't be sad. You win some and you lose some. If anything ever gets you down, you can tell me! Duan Wenzheng, pondering life's great mysteries, namely what to eat for lunch, and not really taking the practice match seriously: ? He looks up and sees those sparkling eyes, then smiles faintly. "All right." Later: Xue Lan is exposed as having "lost his disguise" and come out of the closet, leaving everyone in an uproar. The media interview his teammates to ask what they think. "I'm very surprised." Duan Wenzheng, the nightmare of exclusive interviews, casually takes the microphone. "This is the second most surprising revelation I've heard recently." The media quickly presses him for more: And what was the first? Duan Wenzheng: The person he came out for is me. The entire internet: ????? [Everyone knows the shou is a guy. Only the shou thinks everyone believes he's a girl. "I Thought the Whole World Thought I Was Disguised as a Guy (Not Really)".] [Content warning: [A cute, easily flustered shou x A gong who loves teasing people and grins whenever he sees the shou blush]] If this isn't your thing, please steer clear. The shou transmigrates before the original gong and shou meet, so there is no love triangle. The main characters' romantic rivalry is central. Please don't offer writing advice or bring in other novels, characters, or real people. Let's respect one another and not derail the discussion.
