Weaving Lies

Zhu Yue has three great loves: eating, sleeping, and looking at handsome guys.

One day, she accidentally took a photo of ZLG's AD player Lin Zhi and was mistaken for his one and only designated fan across the entire internet.

Zhu Yue: I'm not! I didn't! Don't make things up!!

Back then, Lin Zhi was fair-skinned and handsome, with a gloomy air and a dangerous sense that warned strangers to keep their distance. But after one fatal mistake in an important match, he became the target of ridicule from millions.

Later, Zhu Yue thought: Well, if they got the wrong idea, so be it. Who could resist a handsome, tragic underdog?

So she took photos of Lin Zhi, cheered him on at events, sent him private messages to encourage him, and even started learning to play games from scratch.

She witnessed him rise from rock bottom to the top, and watched his fanbase grow from one to ten thousand.

Until one day, Zhu Yue's secret Weibo account was exposed. It was full of posts about her former idol, and her lie about being a fan was revealed.

Zhu Yue decided to turn around and leave: You have so many fans now. You don't need me anymore!

But the young man's eyes reddened despite himself. He tugged at her sleeve, unwilling to let her go: You're the one who started this. You can't just stop wanting me.

Zhu Yue slowly typed out a question mark: What the hell, are you trying to scam me?

There's a saying in the LPL: If Lin Zhi was born, why was Ji Zhelin born too?

Lin Zhi and Ji Zhelin were the LPL's twin AD stars, debuting in the same year, but their fates were worlds apart. The latter won every grand slam title imaginable, while the former drifted from team to team.

Looked down on, cursed out, and mocked as "the worst, most useless AD."

Until he met Zhu Yue. She was guileless and lively, always smiling, and made him want to lose himself in her forever, never waking up.

When his lie was exposed, Lin Zhi wrapped his arms around Zhu Yue's waist and pleaded pitifully: Even if it was all fake, could you pretend to like me a little longer?

#The relationship advice blogger is actually chronically single

You Ning, a relationship advice blogger who is all talk and theory, has been single since birth.

When viewers in her livestream challenged her, You Ning, emboldened by alcohol, pulled up a photo on her phone and showed it to them, declaring with absolute confidence, "I'll win over the man in this photo within three months. If I don't, I'll wash my hair while standing on my head!"

Viewers: What the hell, take a good look at who that is! Are you out of your mind?

When she sobered up and saw Shi Huai's roguishly handsome, brazen face on her phone, You Ning nearly cried. Who could have known that when she got drunk, she'd show off a photo of the guy she'd secretly loved for five years? This was Shi Huai!

You Ning: Is there still time to learn how to wash my hair upside down?

-

Shi Huai, the lead singer of the Half-Island Tin Box band, had a face that was both roguish and refined. He was free-spirited and bold, but kept an extremely low profile offstage and never interacted with fans. Even paparazzi could barely get a shot of him.

At a press conference for his new song, an entertainment reporter asked him: What do you think about some unknown relationship advice blogger claiming she'll win you over in three months?

Shi Huai smiled carelessly, his voice languid: "Let her try."

-

Try it and die trying.

Following the dating guide, You Ning pursued him awkwardly and stiffly for three whole months, then nervously called him to confess.

Shi Huai's voice came through the phone, low and deep.

"Cheng Youning, open the door. I think it's more proper to accept a confession in person."

"Also, throw away all those lousy guides of yours."
