I Cried, but I Was Faking It [Esports]

My upcoming stories, "After Becoming a Rich Family's Caged Canary, I Became Truly Rich" and "He Came from 1945," are open for pre-orders. Please add them to your collections! Thank you! X is the streamer Devil, who plays the game Wildwood Maze. He's 17, and a professional "actor," the kind who can make his own teammates cry. No scruples, pretending to be a girl, dancing on his enemies' graves: he's guilty of every offense imaginable. At last, one day, using an alt account, he manages to put on a performance right in front of Yi Boxun, captain of the professional team DK. At the end of the month, with a crucial ranking match on the line, Yi Boxun wears his team jersey and switches on his mic. "You there, the one named 'Captain Yi Wants to Sleep': you act pretty well. Do you really want to get slept that badly?" The comments go wild. "You little punk, you're done for. That's the real guy, and he's streaming too!" "The weather's turning cold. Get a nice burial ready." "I can't believe this. Pretending to be gay to piggyback on pro players' popularity is one thing, but now you're putting on a show right in front of the real deal? Happy now?" Then all his viewers watch as the streamer, usually so loud and fiery on mic, quietly turns red. He nervously rubs the sweat from his hands and says, "Bro, I... I'm sorry." The captain seems stunned too, then asks, "Ning Xiaoyue? Didn't your mom say you were staying in England for German classes over the summer?" Fans: "???" What happened to dropping out young, earning money to support your family, and barely having enough to eat? Could you tell the truth for once? The streamer rolls his eyes. "I did tell the truth. You just didn't believe me." He likes Yi Boxun, the kind of like where he wants to sleep with him.

"After Becoming a Rich Family's Caged Canary, I Became Truly Rich" Li Feifan transmigrates into a book and becomes a caged canary kept by Second Master Huo of the wealthy Huo family. He can't lift a finger or tell one grain from another. The only reason he has managed to stay by the big shot's side for three years is that he looks exactly like the man's unattainable white moonlight. The canary truly loves his sugar daddy, but he's not very bright and has a nasty temper. As soon as the real deal comes back, he's kicked to the curb. Li Feifan is different. A canary should know his place. He seduces his sugar daddy in bed and is sweet and gentle outside it. He takes on the flashy temptresses when there's nothing else to do, and when things get serious, he lets his powerful man handle it. Behind the scenes, though: The eldest Huo heir has wild ambitions: five million goes straight into Li Feifan's private pocket. A rival comes looking for trouble: a prime downtown property makes him a fortune. The wealthy have one scandal after another: funds, stocks, and all kinds of high-risk, high-return investments. When the white moonlight returns, Li Feifan says, "Second Master, after three years together, there is some affection between us. Forget about severance pay." Huo Yunqi gives him a knowing smile. "How could I do that? You've taken such good care of me these past three years." Li Feifan grits his teeth. Damn it, don't push your luck. Rumor has it that the head of the Huo family is about to marry his childhood sweetheart, with whom he shares a deep bond. Then everyone sees the man standing beside Huo Yunqi. The public says, "Isn't that the little bird who was always by Second Master's side, the famous one who had his heart? Did he beat the real deal and marry into the family?" An insider says, "Bullshit. Lord Li is a rich man in his own right." An insider also reveals that before the wedding, the little bird tried to fly away. He was already on the plane when Second Master Huo dragged him back. They say he didn't leave the bedroom for three days and three nights. My upcoming story, "He Came from 1945," is open for pre-orders. Please add it to your collection! Zhou Sheng was born into a family of scholars, but the chaos of the times forced him to scrape by. One year, he was caught in a bombing on the street. He died on the spot saving a child. When he woke up, he found himself in the so-called 21st century. He was also in a business marriage, secretly married to a man. His nominal husband, Chu Qinbai, came from a distinguished family but left the family business early. He's a household-name celebrity. He despises this marriage of convenience, and looks down even more on Zhou Sheng, who is usually arrogant and steeped in every spoiled rich kid habit. But Zhou Sheng, with a new soul inside him, doesn't care much about any of that. What a wonderful era, he thinks. No hunger or war, and everyone has clothes to keep warm and a roof to shelter beneath. With such comfort, something he once couldn't even dream of, there are countless other things waiting for him to accomplish. He starts public welfare initiatives, invests in medicine and education, and works on poverty alleviation. He's so busy he can barely keep up. Chu Qinbai thinks he's up to something, while Zhou Sheng's rich-kid friends are completely dumbfounded. "Is this because Chu Qinbai wants a divorce? So he's trying to turn his life around?" "I bet he won't last a month." "A week." Much later, Zhou Sheng becomes an increasingly mysterious figure, with titles like "the most low-key young philanthropist," "investor in major national projects," and "a model of the era." That same year, Chu Qinbai's secret marriage is exposed, and by the end of the year, he's closing out the Spring Festival Gala. The media are astonished. Who could possibly have enough clout to get him to perform? Chu Qinbai: "I'm returning a favor to my spouse." The media: "?!" Don't ask. His wife's as red-hearted and politically correct as they come. Ask again, and the answer is that he had to make an appearance at the Spring Festival Gala or remind his husband, who now disappears for a month at a time, that he has one. A principled, gentle young master, bottom X a star emperor who comes crawling back after losing the one he loves, top Theme: Competitive spirit, youthful passion.
