In his third year of college, Sheng Zhixin got together with Ai Xin, who had pursued him for ages.

Ai Xin was the young master of a wealthy family. His pursuit was passionate yet gentle, and Sheng Zhixin gradually lost himself in the utopia his boyfriend had woven for him.

His boyfriend skipped class to become a trainee. Sheng Zhixin got caught attending classes in his place, was punished, and fainted from low blood sugar outside the teaching building.

His boyfriend said he wanted to be a musician. Sheng Zhixin dutifully helped him write songs and submit them to record labels, but when they were released, his name was nowhere to be found.

He cooked for Ai Xin, did his laundry, and took care of him in every way, becoming little more than his boyfriend's housekeeper.

Sheng Zhixin knew this wasn't right, but every time he tried to talk about it, Ai Xin would pull him into his arms and soothe him.

"Our little Sheng is so well-behaved."

"Once I make it big, I'll let the whole world know you've always been by my side."

But Sheng Zhixin never lived to see that day.

That day, he went to deliver Ai Xin's meal as usual, only to overhear him talking to a friend:

"If he couldn't write songs, do you think I'd be with him?" Ai Xin's voice held none of its usual tenderness or affection, only disdain. "I'm afraid I'll get that country stink on me if I even kiss him."

Sheng Zhixin pushed the door open and slammed the entire lunchbox into Ai Xin's face. That night, he moved out of their shared apartment.

Wen Gu went for a drink at a bar with a friend, only to find the little shadow who was usually always trailing after Ai Xin drinking alone with a guitar in his arms.

He sat down beside him. "What's wrong?"

Sheng Zhixin nodded, his eyes red. "We broke up. I have nowhere to stay."

After a long silence, Wen Gu said softly, "I happen to need a roommate. Want to come live with me?"

With nowhere else to turn, Sheng Zhixin moved into Wen Gu's home.

At first, he thought Wen Gu had a bad temper and was cold toward people. But the longer they lived together, the more he realized how thoughtful and gentle Wen Gu was. He remembered Sheng Zhixin's likes and dislikes, indulged his childishness, and humored his whims.

It was only when the song he wrote went viral online, and Ai Xin showed up downstairs with red eyes to demand to know what his relationship with Wen Gu was, that he finally understood.

So Wen Gu was the one Ai Xin had always loved.

Sheng Zhixin wanted nothing more to do with his ex, so he went home, packed his things, and prepared to leave. But Wen Gu, who usually greeted him with a smile, stood in the doorway with a cold expression and a dangerous note in his voice.

"Where are you going?"

★ Dog-Blood Novel's Honest, Universally Hated Guy Awakens

Gu Pingzhou always felt he had been born to be hated.

The Gu family adopted him. Desperate for his adoptive parents' affection, he invited them to watch his figure skating competition, only to be scolded for neglecting his studies and told that he would break his legs sooner or later.

Whenever he was hurt, the only one who stayed by his side was his older brother, Gu Chi, who wasn't even related to him by blood.

In the name of brotherhood, Gu Pingzhou loved Gu Chi for ten years.

Gu Chi put a soda can tab on his ring finger and said gently, "I'll marry you. Then you'll truly be part of the Gu family."

Gu Pingzhou held on to those words until his twentieth birthday.

Gu Chi told him, "I have to be the Gu family's sole heir. Baby, help me out."

He told Gu Pingzhou to seduce the real young master the Gu family had brought home, then get rid of him. Once it was done, he would propose to Gu Pingzhou and marry him properly.

Gu Pingzhou was silent for a long time, then nodded.

But then a car accident happened. Gu Chi used him to climb out of the car, while his adoptive parents held Gu Chi, their faces streaked with tears, without even glancing at Gu Pingzhou.

Just before the flames consumed him, Gu Pingzhou suddenly realized he was the universally hated fake young master in a dog-blood novel. Everything he did was wrong, and no one would ever love him.

After Gu Pingzhou disappeared, the Gu family assumed he was just throwing a tantrum and would come back sooner or later.

But before long, a figure skating blogger whose eyes were covered with silk went viral online. He was graceful and light as a fairy on ice, and even the national figure skating team invited him to join.

Gu Chi knelt downstairs, begging Gu Pingzhou to come back, only to have hot water poured over him.

He wailed and rolled on the ground. When he looked up, he was stunned with rage.

The person standing there was none other than the true young master of the Gu family whom he hated with all his heart, his own younger brother, Luo Yu!

Luo Yu was wearing Gu Pingzhou's pajamas. His voice dripped with sarcasm. "Thanks, big brother, for this match made in heaven. We're together now. Are you satisfied, brother?"

A faint red kiss mark on his neck left Gu Chi staring in shock, his eyes nearly bursting with fury.

Luo Yu, the true young master of the Gu family and a newly crowned world champion racer.

Rumor had it that he cut ties with the Gu family for a man. Later, when the family went bankrupt, he played the song Good Days in his livestream for an entire day and raffled off three luxury cars to celebrate with the whole world.

At a championship race, Luo Yu claimed the title once again.

When reporters went to interview him, they found the racing god, who usually kept everyone at arm's length, kneeling on one knee before a beautiful man and solemnly slipping the champion's ring onto his ring finger.

The beauty wore Luo Yu's team jacket. He removed the silk covering his eyes, grabbed Luo Yu by the collar, and kissed him.

#The rumor that the racing god cut ties with his family for a man was true#

★ Guide to Coughing Blood for the Sickly Team Captain [New Love Interest]

From the youth training camp to the FGS starting lineup, Shang Tingchao and Song Liang competed together for nearly four years.

He spent day and night helping Song Liang review their matches and train, while his own health steadily deteriorated.

But this season, FGS failed to make the playoffs. Under enormous pressure, Shang Tingchao coughed up blood and collapsed during a match. When he woke up, he learned that Song Liang had transferred to another team.

The increasingly half-hearted scrims, the phone numbers of other clubs on his phone, and the fact that Song Liang hadn't even visited him during this hospital stay: the signs had all been there.

When he returned to the team base, Song Liang was playing duo queue with someone else. In response to Shang Tingchao's question, he sneered, "That promise to win a championship together? I was just saying it to placate you. You actually believed me?"

"If you can't win a championship, just get a new team. And you think you're good enough to play professionally?"

Shang Tingchao was so furious that his vision went black. Just as he was about to slap Song Liang, someone rang the doorbell at the base.

A white-haired young man stood at the door. He shot Song Liang a cold glance, then looked at Shang Tingchao.

"Shang Tingchao, I'm Lu Zhou, the new jungler FGS just signed. I'm here to help you win a championship."

FGS rebuilt its roster for the new season. At first, no one believed in them, but this new team charged ahead, defeated the established team led by Song Liang, and won the championship.

At the celebration banquet, Song Liang shamelessly went to seek reconciliation with Shang Tingchao, the Finals MVP support, but Lu Zhou blocked his way.

Song Liang was furious. "What gives you the right to stop me? I'm his former teammate..."

Before he could finish, a cup of cola was poured over his head.

Lu Zhou narrowed his eyes. "You, the loser who got solo-killed by me five times in the Finals, think you can say he isn't fit to play professionally?"

Seeing Song Liang's disheveled, horrified expression, he grinned even wider. "You're his old teammate, and I'm his new love. Do you think I have the right to stop you?"

During the Finals interview, the host asked, "Player Lu Zhou, did you know that the anniversary of your KPL debut is also player Shang Tingchao's birthday?"

Lu Zhou's lips curled into a slight smile. "I've known for a long time."

More than just for a long time.

He had carefully chosen that day so their lives could become intertwined.
