The Whole World Thinks We're Incompatible

[Main story complete. Updates before midnight every night. I'll take a day off if something comes up. Thanks for supporting the official release!]

1. After Ning Pei moves house, he unexpectedly runs into his childhood friend Zhou Yan, whom he hasn't seen in five years.

Five years ago, on the day Ning Pei received his early admission notice, he learned that Zhou Yan was dead set on quitting school to become a pro gamer. Ning Pei waited for ages outside Zhou Yan's building, only to hear him say, "You're so annoying. Stop meddling in my business."

Ning Pei listened.

From then on, they went their separate ways.

Now Zhou Yan is a pro player who has won trophies and penalty warnings by the handful.

Meanwhile, Ning Pei has won all sorts of awards at a young age. He's so stuffy that in his twenties, he lives like a man in his fifties or sixties.

The two of them could hardly be less alike.

And yet this esports demon, universally known for his terrible temper, arrogance, and wild ways, blocks Ning Pei's path and asks in a meek voice, "Will you take care of me again?"

Later, in Zhou Yan's livestream…

A cup of goji berry tea sits beside his mouse. Zhou Yan says, "Remind me to take a sip after every match."

At ten every night, Zhou Yan says, "Stream's over. Time to sleep, or someone's going to nag me."

Whenever he hears a door open, Zhou Yan goes from taunting his opponent with his mouse one second to sitting up straight and saying, "That was a great game. Keep it up!"

…

He's just so wholesome, practically a role model.

The fans are going crazy: So who is the person living with God of Hatred? Who on earth managed to turn this mad dog into such a well-behaved puppy?!

2. Half of Ning Pei's life so far has been spent keeping Zhou Yan in line. Later, he could no longer control him, but Zhou Yan came back and begged him to do it.

Coming soon: Bro, Your Ex Is Mine

Athlete × dance student / Shen Xingye × Bian You / younger man / four-year age gap

Bian You never imagined that after he and his boyfriend broke up, his boyfriend's younger brother would confess to him.

1. Bian You is widely known as a beauty in the dance department. Too bad he got a boyfriend early on, and they can only see each other once in a long while. People tease him that if they had a boyfriend like Bian You, they'd be rushing to see him every day.

After a while, the person who goes out of his way to see Bian You whenever he has a spare moment is his boyfriend's younger brother.

Bian You treats him like a little brother, but then things start to feel off.

Bian You catches his boyfriend cheating. His boyfriend's younger brother says, "Bian You, don't look."

"Bian You, dump my brother. He doesn't deserve you."

"Bian You, I can take care of you."

When Bian You returns the things his ex gave him, his ex's younger brother promptly tosses them in the trash and asks, "Bian You, can I be your boyfriend?"

2. Shen Xingye has a crush on someone: his older brother's boyfriend.

At first, he thinks he can just keep it to himself.

Later, they break up, and he realizes that holding back any longer would be wrong.

3. Only after breaking up with Bian You does Shen Du realize that Bian You has always been the one he loves. He can't leave Bian You, and Bian You can't bear to leave him either, so he goes to ask Bian You to get back together.

But the person who opens the door is his own younger brother.

His younger brother is wearing a loose-fitting pajama top that belongs to Bian You. He grabs Shen Du by the collar and warns him, "Bro, your ex is mine now. Stay away from him."

Fake Marriage

Pure-hearted college student × gentle, cunning older man

A contract binds Rong Chu, a college student who's so broke all he has going for him is his face, to Lu Jie, a disgraced former best actor. They also have to take part in a seven-day reality-show livestream.

To that end, Rong Chu is forced to move into Lu Jie's home a month early to build a relationship.

The list is limited to learning each other's likes, getting used to being intimate, hugging, and brief kisses that don't go too far…

After spending time together, Rong Chu realizes Lu Jie is nothing like the rumors.

Lu Jie cooks for him.

Lu Jie helps him with his homework.

Lu Jie solves his problems and handles his troubles.

…

When Lu Jie hugs him, he asks if it's okay.

When Lu Jie kisses him, he asks where he can kiss.

…

Lu Jie is mired in scandal. His agent and family conspire to pay for a contractual partner to help clear his name. With no way to refuse, Lu Jie can only treat him like a kid: a kid who blushes at the slightest thing.

Little by little, Lu Jie starts having other ideas, like making the fake relationship real.
