Who Says a Pretty Face Can't Make It in Esports?

Top-tier star Tang Luo was told to fake a couple image with one of the company’s stars. He refused, then slapped a marriage certificate down in front of his manager, leaving the man dumbfounded.

"You’re married?"

"Are you blind?"

Tang Luo proved through his actions that he would never compromise over something he didn’t want. He fired his manager and quit the company on the spot, sending the hashtag "Pretty-boy Tang Luo Throws His Weight Around" surging across the trending lists.

He didn’t care! Tang Luo tossed aside his breach-of-contract papers, turned his back on his manager, and put on a syrupy, coy voice. "Honey~ Did you miss me~?"

His manager was livid: You really know how to get under my skin.

Tang Luo’s husband, Bo Siang, was a legendary PEL pro player. Eight years into his competitive gaming career, he had entered a sham marriage with Tang Luo to silence his mother. He was at the tail end of his career, and this year would bring his final match before retirement.

Then Tang Luo entered the esports scene.

Instead of staying a top-tier star, he became Bo Siang’s boss, spending a fortune to buy MJ, the team Bo Siang was still playing for.

The internet was full of questions about Tang Luo’s actions. His manager kept exposing damaging stories about him, and fans went wild.

Bo Siang put an arm around Tang Luo’s shoulders, looking down at him with concern. "So... how am I supposed to save you this time?"

Tang Luo returned the arm around his buddy’s shoulders and raised an eyebrow. "Apart, we each rule our own worlds. Together, we’re invincible. Let me stay here for a couple of days, Legendary. In a couple of days, my manager will be begging me to come back."

Sure enough, the furious manager posted a rant: "Tang Luo’s getting into esports? That pretty boy... I bet he’d struggle even with Tetris!"

A month later, news kept pouring in about top-tier star Tang Luo entering the competitive gaming scene:

[Tang Luo sweeps MJ]

[Tang Luo clears the way for MJ]

[Tang Luo leads MJ to the spring-season championship]

[Tang Luo becomes the owner of PEL’s strongest team]

[Tang Luo and Bo Siang are hailed as MJ’s two demon kings]

What the hell has he been doing?!

The manager was hopping mad, his blood pressure rising even higher than his temper.

"Tang Luo, are you coming back?"

"No."

"Boss Tang, let’s talk. We won’t make you fake a couple image anymore."

"No."

"I made up all those scandals. Sue me if you want, just come back!"

Tang Luo was satisfied. As long as he was the boss, he could make it anywhere.

After the tug-of-war with his manager ended, he said goodbye to his buddy Bo Siang and went back to being the pretty-boy top-tier star he was.

But when news broke in the entertainment industry that Tang Luo had secretly married, everyone turned their cameras on Bo Siang.

When reporters pressed him, Bo Siang replied, "We’re at the stage where we share a coffin. Happy now?"

Everyone held their breath: Stop asking! Keep pushing, and there’ll be two bodies in one coffin.

Tang Luo was baffled.

Just sharing a coffin??? What about sharing a bed???

Then he suddenly realized: Hadn’t he always seen Bo Siang as just a buddy?

Why did something feel off around his heart? Why was it beating so fast?
