The Server's First Love

Yun Qi has a face like a paper doll, earning him a huge following of fans and admirers. By pairing him up with his own team captain for publicity, he has become one of the most popular players in the professional scene. During livestreams: “Bro, you look so soft and delicious.” “Baby, I'll pay a hundred grand just to touch your face.” The private messages never let up, either. Some shamelessly offer to buy a night with him, while others spend a fortune just to meet him in person. Even his own team captain is completely captivated, looking at him as if he wants to devour him. But Yun Qi has no interest in the popular ship he's been promoting. He's secretly in love with the rival team's top jungler, the man who ushered in an entire era of esports. He suffers from severe touch starvation, and that man is the only cure he has in the dead of night. - Eidis is widely recognized as the world's top professional jungler. His brutal playstyle has kept countless teams from advancing, leaving them haunted by his shadow. He's won trophy after trophy and is the esports nightmare of countless players. There's a saying in the professional scene: When Eidis is standing there, the golden confetti falls for him alone. One is the era-defining top jungler, while the other is a soft-support player who faces constant doubts. No one would ever connect the two. But no one sees what happens in the shadows: Yun Qi's slender arms tremble as he leans against the wall, his eyes red and hazy, his gaze clouded with shame. “Does it feel good?” the man asks. “Isn't this what you like me doing to you?” No one knows the secret history between Yun Qi and the world's top jungler. He thought they'd never cross paths again, but on a night when he's backed into a corner, Yun Qi tugs at the man's clothes and says pitifully, “Big Brother, buy me.” From that moment on, the wheel of fate begins to turn again. - In the restless days of youth, Yun Qi nervously broke up with the boyfriend he loved most. For over a thousand days and nights, he couldn't go a single day without missing him. When they meet again, his ex has become a top god in the scene. Everyone thinks the esports pretty boy will be crushed to dust by the esports god... But no one knows that the man revered as a god in esports kneels on one knee, gently rubbing Yun Qi's ankle with eyes full of tenderness, and says coldly, “If you livestream barefoot again, tomorrow you'll get a ban for suspected obscene content.” “A severe one, too.” Next novel: Hated by the Entire Internet, but with a Max-Level Daddy The first time Jing Yao sees Xu Muze, he thinks, I wish he were my daddy. Later, with nowhere else to turn, Xu Muze really does become his new father. Jing Yao thinks, I wish I could go back to that first moment and make a different wish. · Jing Yao is a gaming streamer hated by the entire internet. In the first half of his stream, he's all about being real, with his mic on for the whole internet to hear. In the second half, he dresses as a woman, calling everyone “good big brother” as he puts on a seductive act. His little haters swarm him with demands to wear stockings, put on lipstick, and wear a wig. Jing Yao does it all without shame, leaving the haters at a loss. “I'm done watching. If I keep watching, I'll fall for him.” “His switch-up is insane, but I'm a sucker. I watch every time.” “What does he even stream in the first half?” “Is this something a straight guy like me should be watching?” “Hey, you. Lift your legs higher.” Jing Yao plays the part of a mature, fearless person online, but without his makeup, he has a tender, youthful face that makes people want to protect him. He's only doing it all to make money. Every day, he envies the son of esports big shot Xu Muze, who can get everything without lifting a finger. Meanwhile, his strategy of courting online hate is on the verge of collapse. He doesn't know if he'll still be streaming tomorrow, and it's exhausting him. If only he could trade lives with someone. Then an opportunity comes along. · Xu Muze is an authority in esports, a powerful boss who runs countless livestreaming companies and championship teams. On the day one of his teams competes in the finals, he runs into a little fawn wandering backstage. Xu Muze picks up the hat from the floor and runs his fingers over the name printed on it, a name that's been trending everywhere. “A sasaeng fan?” The hat bears the name of one of the champions on his roster. Xu Muze's gaze sharpens. The little fawn nervously denies it. His youthful face is completely at odds with his online persona. The man radiates wealth and power. Jing Yao doesn't yet realize that he's a max-level big shot in the esports world. · At last, Jing Yao becomes one of Xu Muze's people. For the sake of the future, winning the boss's favor is an essential step. Jing Yao hears that Xu Muze has a son about his age, so one night he carries a cake to Xu Muze's door. “I've been without a father since I was born, Boss. Could you take his place and celebrate my birthday with me?” His sob story wins sympathy and easily brings out Xu Muze's fatherly instincts. Xu Muze is famous for killing without spilling blood, but he can't help softening when he sees Jing Yao's face. Before long, rumors are flying. Ever since that night, Xu Muze has taken Jing Yao to important events and meetings, given him top-tier resources, and sat beside him, gazing at him warmly during interviews. People start to speculate that Jing Yao is Xu Muze's illegitimate son. “Boss Xu, your son is so handsome.” “President Xu, I have a daughter around his age...” A father's love for his child, a street rat with a powerful backer, a decisive man with a weakness. Jing Yao becomes the most sought-after person in the scene overnight. But he knows it's all just an illusion. · Jing Yao depends on Xu Muze only because he wants to make money. They act together, using each other as props to build their public images. That's what he believes, until that unforgettable night in the rain. From high above in the skyscraper, all Jing Yao can see are the bustling streets below and an arm with bulging veins. “People outside think you're my illegitimate son.” Xu Muze rests his palm on the young man's warm head. “I'm certainly old enough to have fathered you, but I care about you, and I'll leave the choice up to you.” “Tell me, do you need a father, or do you need a man?” Theme: You don't have to let prejudice stand in your way. Gold will always shine.
