My Cunning Straight Best Friend

Coming soon: "I Became Everyone's Favorite After Streaming in Women's Clothes." Please add it to your favorites · Tao Lin is handsome, cheerful, and a pampered young master. He's never been attracted to a guy, so he doesn't know what it means to be straight or gay. The boy closest to him is his childhood friend and older-brother figure, Sheng Ye. Sheng Ye treats him wonderfully. He'll comfort and hug him, feed him by hand, and even bathe with him. And that's not all... Tao Lin: "Sheng Ye, didn't you say it was weird for two guys to hold hands?" Sheng Ye: "You remembered wrong. What's weird about two guys holding hands? Besides, we're brothers. Isn't it normal for two close brothers to hold hands? What kind of brothers don't hold hands?" Tao Lin: "…Okay." * Tao Lin: "Sheng Ye, is it... okay for us to do this?" Sheng Ye: "What's wrong with it? It's normal for brothers to help each other out... Lift your leg so I can see if you're clean." Tao Lin: "...Oh." * Tao Lin: "Sheng Ye, we... can't... kiss, can we?" Sheng Ye: "We're not kissing. Didn't you say you wanted to taste beer? So, how is it? A little bitter?" Tao Lin: "It seems... pretty sweet." And so on. By the time Tao Lin finally realized something was off about Sheng Ye, he'd already been thoroughly eaten up. Tao Lin: "…" This is... ridiculous. Cute, oblivious straight-guy bottom x Cunning, scheming top "I Became Everyone's Favorite After Streaming in Women's Clothes" Lin Wuyang was in a car accident and spent three years in the hospital. When he woke up, he had no money and was deep in debt. To support himself and pay off his debts, he decided to become a game streamer. But he was socially anxious and stiff, and didn't like talking to people, so he had hardly any fans or viewers. To change his situation, a friend suggested he stream while dressed as a woman. Lin Wuyang refused at first, but when he thought of his debts, he gritted his teeth and agreed. Before he dressed as a woman, the viewers said: [Yeah, the streamer's gameplay is pretty smooth, and pretty soothing] [The streamer barely talks. I'm out] After he dressed as a woman: [Holy crap! Is this streamer actually a girl?!] [No, sis above, the streamer is a guy] […] [Hey, sis above, are you okay?] [I'm fine, I just got a little nosebleed (typing with both hands to prove my innocence)] Lin Wuyang thought dressing as a woman would just be a one-time experiment, but it turned out he'd stumbled on the secret to attracting viewers. He went viral in no time and became the platform's number-one streamer. Just days after he became famous, he received an invitation from the company producing "The Abyss." They invited him to become a streamer for the game and one of its beta testers. Seeing the five zeros in the base pay, Lin Wuyang agreed without hesitation. But what he never expected was that the monsters in the Abyss would awaken on his very first day in the game. Notes: 1: The blurb is provisional. The story itself will take precedence once it starts. 2: "The Abyss" is a full-dive horror game with challenge stages, and will probably include plenty of original worldbuilding. 3: The top isn't human, but he has a human form, and he's incredibly handsome.
