I Don't Do Cute [Esports]

[A sweet esports romance. A voice-loving top who seems cool but secretly likes cute things (mid laner) × an adorable-looking bottom who plays fiercely (jungler).]

Jiang Zhou (hound) thought he was pretty unlucky. He was an esports streamer who made his living with his skills, and had somehow injured his hand.

It wasn't serious, but he wouldn't be able to show off his plays for a while.

To make ends meet, he had to switch to a smurf account and play in lower-ranked matches.

One time, his teammates were so awful that Jiang Zhou had no choice but to turn on voice chat and direct them.

To his surprise, after hearing his voice, the mid laner, who had been playing terribly, suddenly seemed like a different person. In no time, he was dominating the game and leading the team to the enemy base.

After the match, the mid laner added him as a friend and explained: "My cousin was playing at first."

Jiang Zhou immediately realized he was dealing with a pro. "Big shot, please carry me!"

Top mid laner: "Sure. But you have to act cute for me, and send a voice message."

Jiang Zhou: "???"

He's a grown man! He wasn't going to act cute!

Jiang Zhou ignored him, then lost ten games in a row. With no other choice, he swallowed his pride and sent the big shot a voice message: "Carry me, please QAQ!"

Top mid laner: "Okay. But will you date me?"

Jiang Zhou: "???"

On the streaming platform's MOBA game Eternal Secret Realm (WOE) channel, Jiang Zhou attracted wave after wave of fans with his fierce, decisive plays, and finally became a famous solo-queue jungle king.

Later, Jiang Zhou joined Team ST as their jungler.

When fans saw Jiang Zhou in person for the first time during a live match, they froze on the spot. Who was this adorable-looking, seemingly underage boy with pink hair?! Where was their cold, cool streamer?

When Jiang Zhou started streaming that night, his chat went wild over the reveal. Beauty-loving fans immediately shouted: "You're so cute, streamer! Act cute for us!"

The team captain Jiang Zhou thought didn't like him, the famous mid laner Chi Yan (rain), suddenly entered the stream. He showered Jiang Zhou with gifts and left a message: "Don't even think about it. This is my jungler. He only acts cute for me."

A few things to let you in on:

1. Jiang Zhou thinks he's only missing a bit of muscle to look like a cool guy, but no matter how hard he works out, he can't build any.

2. Chi Yan is a voice lover who likes sweets and strawberries. He also loves pink, fluffy, cute little creatures, but he looks cool and never lets it show.

3. When Jiang Zhou first played professionally, their appearances were so different from their in-game personas that the commentators almost mixed up the jungler and mid laner, thinking the famous mid laner Chi Yan had switched to the jungle~

Coming soon 1: Raising a Dragon in a Cultivation Novel

Xiao Jin transmigrated into a cultivation power fantasy starring a dragon-like hero. He became an outer disciple with the same name at Cangyue Sect, the leading cultivation sect.

As a forgettable passerby, Xiao Jin had only read half the original novel. He just wanted to stay alive and avoid getting caught up in the main plot. So on the day of the sect's grand assembly, he didn't go to the main peak to join the crowds. Instead, he was hit by a little snake that fell out of a tree in the back hills.

The pretty little snake was badly injured. Xiao Jin's heart softened. He checked all his worldly possessions: two dull, low-grade spirit stones. Even so, he decided to take the snake home and care for it.

From then on, the human and the snake relied on each other.

Under Xiao Jin's careful care, the little snake finally recovered. It grew bigger and bigger, and then... turned into a dragon!?

When a handsome man embraced Xiao Jin, he finally understood: the pitiful little creature he'd thought was a snake, then watched turn into a dragon, was the protagonist of the book. He was the dragon hero himself, whose spiritual root had been destroyed before he awakened his dragon bloodline, eventually turning evil and rising to supreme power.

Xiao Jin was wiping down the injured snake.

Mo Lan, badly wounded and in snake form, was weak and helpless. He bit Xiao Jin's finger.

Xiao Jin: "The little snake is so cute. It even licks my finger."

Mo Lan tried to struggle a couple of times.

Xiao Jin: "The little snake must be so happy. It's even rubbing against me."

Mo Lan looked utterly hopeless and gave up struggling.

Looking at the pretty snake he'd cleaned up, Xiao Jin joked happily, "I know you're grateful to me. If you want to repay me, why not give yourself to me?"

Mo Lan: "..."

Much later.

Mo Lan grinned. "Where do you think you're going? Didn't you say that a life-saving favor should be repaid by giving yourself to me?"

Xiao Jin swallowed and backed away step by step. "D-don't force yourself."

Mo Lan licked his lips. "I'm not forcing myself at all."

Xiao Jin was close to tears. Was he about to be eaten?

A few things to know:

1. The top has a tragic background. When he meets the bottom, he's being hunted, so at first he trusts no one.

2. A well-behaved, considerate top who is actually twisted and extremely possessive toward the bottom × a kind, hardworking, warm-hearted bottom. One-on-one romance, sweet story.

Coming soon 2: Living Frugally in a Cliche Novel

Ji Xingzhe transmigrated into a cliche story about a husband trying to win back his wife. Not only did he become the biological young master who constantly opposed the adopted protagonist, he also had to marry the original owner's wheelchair-bound fiance, a fallen rich heir whom the original owner had always looked down on.

Everyone thought he'd throw a fit and oppose the marriage. To their surprise, he accepted the arrangement without a fuss.

As if! He didn't want to become a casualty in the romance between the protagonist and his love interest. Getting married would at least help him escape the death that had awaited him in the original story.

His disabled husband had fallen on hard times, going from a rich young master to an ordinary company employee. But the original owner had some personal savings, and Ji Xingzhe figured that if they were frugal, the two of them would have no trouble making ends meet for the rest of their lives.

The only problem was that his husband didn't seem able to accept his new status and still spent money as lavishly as before.

Ji Xingzhe was heartbroken and resolved to cure his husband's wasteful habits.

He insisted that his husband sell the villa and move into a small apartment. To save on food, he bought groceries, cooked meals, and started packing lovingly prepared lunches for his husband. Even when buying him clothes, he only dared to get counterfeit designer brands.

Watching his husband go from scowling at first to accepting it all, Ji Xingzhe was very pleased. There was just one thing he couldn't understand: why did the rich boss at the top of an online list of young tycoons have exactly the same name as his husband?

In Gu Jingchen's eyes, the current Ji Xingzhe seemed quite different from the spoiled, troublesome young master he remembered.

At first, Gu Jingchen wanted to know what his husband was trying to achieve with all these schemes. Later, he realized that Ji Xingzhe genuinely thought he was poor...

A few things to know:

1. The top is reborn and has a bit of a dark side.

2. The top was disabled in a car accident, but recovered before meeting the bottom. He only pretends to use a wheelchair later.

3. One-on-one romance, sweet story, happy ending.

4. This is probably a comedy.
