[Story Blurb]

Yu Xi, esports' number-one sweetheart, is famous for his beauty and deadly aim. Sweet and cool, wild and unruly, with his signature pink hair and dreamy, sparkling eyes, he's a walking heartthrob who wins over every admirer.

Ling Xu, captain of the top-tier RI team, is famous as esports' old-school straight arrow. He makes the opposing team call him "Daddy" on the battlefield, then sits down afterward with a cup of chrysanthemum tea.

Both are legendary rookies, and each one's fans insist their idol is the strongest of their generation. The two fanbases can't stand each other, and the first thing they ask whenever they see the other side is whether their idol is really all that.

Then one day, Yu Xi streams a four-player match with random teammates and gets matched with Ling Xu's alternate account.

His fans urge him, "Sweetheart, hold it in! Just pretend you didn't see him. You'll get banned if you insult someone on stream!"

Yu Xi holds it in.

His second teammate is a foul-mouthed troll who keeps insulting Ling Xu.

His fans comfort him: "Look, number two is doing the insulting, so that's basically the same as us doing it. Hold it in, sweetheart!"

Yu Xi... Yu Xi can't hold it in.

He tears into number two all the way to the final circle.

Then, once he's done insulting him, he turns to insult Ling Xu.

"You're just standing there letting him insult you? Was everything I taught you before for nothing? I'm so mad! You dumbass!"

Fans: "?"

Fans: Once you accept this premise... forget about those two kings never meeting. Isn't shipping them so much better?

Ling Xu has always thought that since they're already dating, they should address each other the way married couples do.

If his mother can call his father "Darling," why can't Yu Xi call him that?

According to a member of RI, ever since the teammates started dating, their wild, rebellious little sweetheart has been forced to drink eight glasses of water every day. After being bossed around for so long, he finally can't take it anymore and turns against his captain, smashing the captain's cup and grabbing his ear. "I'm telling you! I can't finish eight glasses of water! Today I'm only drinking seven!"

Ling Xu brushes his hand away with a solemn expression. "No, unless you call me Darling."

The serious, old-fashioned, scheming captain x the haughty, unruly sweetheart who mouths off to everyone.

[Important]

1. The top and bottom are not on the same team at the beginning.

2. The bottom is very sweet when he's sweet, and very fierce when he's angry. He's fierce most of the time.

3. The top isn't an old-fashioned fuddy-duddy in the traditional sense. He has some old-school traits, but he's quick-witted and knows how to handle people.

"When a Straight Man Catches the Eye of a Soft, Flirtatious Heartthrob"

Lian Yang is a maintenance worker at the Transmigration Bureau for the Worlds of Fiction. Since starting the job, he's made the occasional big mistake and a steady stream of little ones. He's about to get fired.

One day, the male lead in one of the fictional worlds the bureau oversees goes off course. He was supposed to star in a story about a womanizing CEO who gets his comeuppance, but instead he's devoting himself to his studies and racing straight toward a life of abstinence!

How can the plot continue like this?

The bureau is in a panic. They've sent several maintenance workers to seduce the male lead, but none of them managed to get him back on track.

At this point, Lian Yang raises his hand timidly. "W-why don't you let me try?"

The director looks at him dubiously. "This is a boy-girl romance, and the male lead is straight. Can you handle it?"

Lian Yang nods hurriedly. Of course he can! If he can't, he'll get fired! QAQ! He can always wear women's clothes!

The director looks at Lian Yang's pretty face and thinks, Well, we're desperate. Might as well try. You never know!

To avoid affecting the female lead, the bureau sets the story during the male lead's university years. But after entering the world, Lian Yang realizes he's forgotten to bring his System!

So here's the question: without a System, how is he supposed to know which one is the male lead?

Lian Yang begins testing people one by one, near tears. Anyone who looks like they might be the male lead gets the full treatment. He doesn't spare a single top student or campus heartthrob.

Pei Yi has always known that Lian Yang, from the dorm across the hall, is A University's infamous heartbreaker. He loves seducing straight men, and he's both a jerk and a slacker. His pickup lines are always the same.

Pei Yi has caught him several times acting coy with different people. "W-would you maybe like me?"

After winning them over, Lian Yang says, "We can't be together. After you graduate, you'll become a CEO and end up with a girl."

Pei Yi has seen him just after a shower, with reddened eyes and moist lips.

He really is beautiful.

But Pei Yi still finds his books more interesting.

Until one day, that heartbreaker sets his sights on him.

Lian Yang clutches his short sailor uniform, his slender waist just barely visible beneath it. His ears turn red as he asks, "W-would you maybe like me?"

Pei Yi stares fixedly at his waist and reaches out without thinking, slipping his hand beneath Lian Yang's shirt hem. "Sure. Yangyang, let me touch you."

Pei Yi thinks he's Lian Yang's one true love, but one day Lian Yang suddenly looks at him with red-rimmed eyes and says, "When you become a CEO, you'll fall for a girl."

Pei Yi: "..."

There it is again.

Pei Yi is on guard. He decides the best way to solve the problem is to nip it in the bud, so he makes up his mind:

From now on, he won't become a CEO. He'll just be Yangyang's puppy!

* An abstinent, aloof top who gets touch-starved whenever he sees his lover x a gorgeous, adorable, fragrant and soft-hearted little airhead who charms everyone.
