This story is complete and now available as a paid chapter-by-chapter release. My ongoing story, What Bad Intentions Could a Rival Have?, is looking for readers. Please add it to your collection!
Su Jian, the strongest mid-laner in the Rift, has one ultimate goal: enter the pro scene through the KPL youth training program and play a ranked duo match with his idol, Pretender, the great player Chi Shen.
As for streaming, carrying clients, and flirting with his jungle main, those are all just the first steps in his long game.
He never expected his jungle main to be both ruthless and shamelessly flirtatious. In his admiration for the strong, Su Jian fell for him without a shred of resistance.
The day before they were supposed to meet in person, Su Jian received his admission notice for the KPL training camp.
Chi Zhe: So, do you have a crush on PretenderCZ?
Su Jian: Yeah.
Chi Zhe: Then what the hell am I to you?!
Su Jian: My boyfriend?
Chi Zhe leaned against the balcony, basking in the sun with a lollipop in his mouth, his face a mixture of joy and sorrow.
A week into camp, his idol suddenly showed up as a tactical coach for the trainees. Su Jian was so excited he could barely breathe, stumbling over his words and wanting nothing more than a hug.
After a month together, Su Jian thought his idol was a little strange. Strange in a very flirtatious way.
Su Jian: I have a boyfriend, Idol.
Chi Zhe: Who's your boyfriend? Is he better than me?
Su Jian: Yes.
Chi Zhe: ???
Su Jian: He's a jungle main, and his mechanics are insanely good. How about you two play a match sometime?
Same balcony, same lollipop, same mix of joy and sorrow.
Chi Zhe, the insanely good jungle main, Su Jian's actual boyfriend, national-server jungle king PretenderCZ, and Su Jian's idol, exited the chat with a deeply sour expression, panicking inside:
[Question: How do I play a solo match against myself? Waiting online, urgent!!]
Content warnings:
1. No real-person inspirations, no real-person inspirations, no real-person inspirations. Important, so I'm saying it three times!
2. The game is Honor of Kings. The early story focuses on streaming, and later it may move into competitive play. The story's direction will determine the details. There are lots of chat comments early on, but you can still enjoy the story even if you don't play the game.
3. I'm pretty bad at Honor of Kings. I'll do my research, but I may change some game mechanics, so please don't scrutinize them too closely.
4. A lighthearted, fluffy story with no angst, focused on romance, with everything else secondary. Please go easy on me if you spot any bugs. Kisses!
5. A sweet romance with both of them doting on each other. They fall in love at first sight, and it's super sweet.
Below is the blurb for the ongoing story What Bad Intentions Could a Rival Have?
Also known as So Hard to Stay in Character and I Could Never Fall for My Rival.
Yao Yuchen, a newly crowned Golden Horse Best Actor, sent the entertainment industry into a frenzy with news that he would star in a BL movie. Influential accounts reposted the news, haters came out in force, and fans fought to control the comments. After nearly a month of commotion, the other male lead was finally announced.
Nan Yi.
Who was Nan Yi?
The lead singer and guitarist of Hope, with a perfect voice, a cute yet cocky look, and sweet dimples. He quickly swept through the idol world and became a newly minted top-tier star.
Newly crowned Best Actor × newly minted top-tier star. Both Alphas. Damn, that's kind of exciting.
As fans eagerly waited to see what kind of sparks the two would create, the male leads really did get "heated" on set.
Nan Yi: Move over a little, your leg's on top of mine.
Yao Yuchen: Put more effort into it, little idol. How are we supposed to shoot this scene if I'm not on top of you?
Nan Yi: !
Put in effort, my ass. You're just trying to take advantage of me.
Yao Yuchen proved Nan Yi's suspicions right in very physical fashion, pinning him down until his leg went numb.
Nan Yi: Damn it, you pervert. I'll remember this.
An intermittently unhinged, scheming actor top × a cute yet cocky, sharp-tongued, straightforward singer bottom with dimples.
Theme: The esports boys' pursuit of their dreams, and a brave top who meets his match in the Rift
