Reborn, the Drama Queen Only Wants the Championship [Esports]

[Main story complete]

In his previous life, Yan Ming refused to marry him, saying he would give him a proper title once his career took off.

Xu Yiyan believed him. But then Yan Ming proposed to his girlfriend in public at the most important esports tournament of Xu Yiyan's career.

Yes, his girlfriend.

Sitting onstage, Xu Yiyan watched on the big screen as Yan Ming slipped a dazzling diamond ring onto his young girlfriend's finger. Nausea surged through him, and even his fingers stopped obeying him.

Naturally, he lost the match badly.

He lost both his money and his love, his career went into a steep decline, and in the end, he died miserable and alone.

When Xu Yiyan opened his eyes again, he had been reborn on the day Yan Ming planned to confess to him.

Now that he had a chance to start over, he looked at the hotel in front of him and the reporters behind him, then walked into the room next door to Yan Ming's.

But who the hell knew there'd be someone in that room? And not just anyone, but Yan Ming's direct boss, Bai Xiao.

Xu Yiyan looked at Bai Xiao. "Uh, if I say I got the wrong room, will you believe me?"

It didn't matter whether Bai Xiao believed him. The reporters lying in wait didn't, and the next day rumors about him and Bai Xiao were everywhere. Under pressure from both sides, they had no choice but to get married.

Fine. The first thing he did after being reborn was get a new husband.

In Yan Ming's mind, Xu Yiyan loved him so much he couldn't let go. All Yan Ming had to do was sweet-talk him a little and he would come back.

He wrote a long message asking to get back together. The reply he got was just two words.

Xu Yiyan: Just woke up.

Yan Ming refused to give up, so he went to the team base to confront him.

Instead, he saw Xu Yiyan with Bai Xiao, his arm around Bai Xiao's. "This is my husband, Bai Xiao. You don't need me to introduce him, do you?"

Yan Ming: "...Hello, boss."

Who could have guessed Yan Ming would be fired the very next day? When he went to find Bai Xiao, Bai Xiao didn't even look at him.

Bai Xiao: "You seemed pretty reluctant to greet me yesterday. I thought you didn't want me to be your boss."

*

No one thought Xu Yiyan and Bai Xiao's marriage would work.

"One's in esports, the other's a company owner. They have nothing to do with each other. What a joke."

"I'll bet they'll split up within a month."

"Be more confident. Two weeks."

But they waited and waited, until Xu Yiyan stood on the world champion's podium, with Bai Xiao still by his side.

They hadn't divorced. If anything, they looked closer than ever.

Bai Xiao turned to the cameras and said just one thing to Xu Yiyan: "I won the bet."

No one knew what he had bet on until Xu Yiyan started streaming again, and everyone learned the answer.

Xu Yiyan was wearing women's clothes on stream.

Bai Xiao had bet that this world champion would be his.

*A flirtatious, sharp-tongued, button-pushing show-off bottom who brags to everyone about his husband, and a quiet top who supports his husband without question and gets big things done without making a fuss.

*Marriage first, love later from Xu Yiyan's perspective; secret crush comes true from Bai Xiao's.

*In a world where same-sex marriage is legal.

*An unapologetically cheesy romance, really cheesy.
