[Blurb]

Cheng Yinian has had a crush on his accounting-major roommate, Chen Xiangsui, for over a year. But since the other guy is aggressively straight, he has never dared to reveal his feelings.

One day, Cheng Yinian, a game streamer on a certain platform, discovers that Chen Xiangsui watches his streams every day and is one of the room's top spenders.

Although they share a dorm room, Chen Xiangsui is a man of few words who rarely starts conversations, so Cheng Yinian doesn't dare approach him too boldly.

To get closer to his roommate, Cheng Yinian specially sends him the contact information for his private alt account.

-

Chen Xiangsui takes the bait and adds Cheng Yinian's alt account.

[The two of them in real life]

Cheng Yinian: "Xiangsui, sorry... Is it okay if I call you that?"

Chen Xiangsui: "I'm not used to it. Call me by my full name."

[The two of them online]

Cheng Yinian: "Then, big brother, want to see the white stockings I'm wearing today~?"

Chen Xiangsui: "...Let me see."

-

As their online chats grow more and more heated, Cheng Yinian gradually senses that Chen Xiangsui's attitude toward him in real life is softening, too. The way he looks at Cheng Yinian is getting more and more strange, though Cheng Yinian can't figure out why.

Until one day, Cheng Yinian accidentally sees the nickname Chen Xiangsui saved for his alt account: Yinian Nian.

Cheng Yinian: ...?

Oh no, when did I get found out?!

*Tips.

*They're each other's first love. A fluffy, everyday romance with no heavy thinking required.

*The male lead is a bit of a lecher and very slow to catch on to his feelings. The other lead spends a lot of time cross-dressing.

*Some parts may not be realistic, so please bear with me, orz. The games are all made up, though they may have real-life inspiration.

*The POV switches fairly often early on. Later, it's all from the other lead's POV, so overall the story is mainly told from his perspective.

*The logic is shaky and the plot is ridiculous, so read at your own risk. Everything revolves around romance and sweet moments. The streaming parts aren't very prominent, so I don't recommend opening this if you're here specifically for the streaming elements!!! In short, it's a story about two silly boys bringing their relationship forward both online and offline. Both sides of the story get plenty of focus early on, while the later focus is on their offline relationship.

[Coming Soon 1: "After He Proposed, the Cannon-Fodder Jumped into the Sea and Faked His Death"]

Zhao Muqing transmigrates into a book as a disposable background character. The villain, Shen Guanzhi, proposes to him only to use him. Once Zhao Muqing is no longer useful, Shen Guanzhi will send him straight to his grave.

Zhao Muqing: ...

Better to kill myself than be killed by someone else.

On the very day Shen Guanzhi proposes, Zhao Muqing turns around and jumps into the sea, faking his death.

-

After making sure Shen Guanzhi has left, Zhao Muqing swims ashore and starts a new life in another city.

Only after an accident brings him back to his old home does Zhao Muqing finally learn that Shen Guanzhi has spent all these years sending people to search the sea for him.

The other man is still wearing the matching wedding ring from the pair he had when he proposed.

-

Shen Guanzhi slowly takes a sip of coffee across the table. "You're alive again?"

Zhao Muqing nearly drops his cup. "...You could say that."

Shen Guanzhi: "Perfect. Let's make up for lost time and hold the wedding."

Zhao Muqing: "Then I'd rather be dead."

-

Shen Guanzhi suffers from severe insomnia and can't fall asleep alone.

Zhao Muqing signs a contract with him, becoming his cure. To the outside world, they claim to be lovers who started dating on a whim.

Shen Guanzhi gradually falls for the warmth of Zhao Muqing's body. He personally crafts a one-of-a-kind pair of wedding rings, only to watch Zhao Muqing disappear into the sea on the day he proposes.

Later, someone sees Shen Guanzhi smash the most expensive gemstone in his studio over a plaything who had once been by his side.

-

Zhao Muqing never expected Shen Guanzhi to look at him with such intense possessiveness after he returned to his old home.

It feels as if every move he makes is under Shen Guanzhi's watchful eye. The other man even knows exactly how many sips of alcohol Zhao Muqing has had at the bar.

Shen Guanzhi wipes the liquor from the corner of Zhao Muqing's lips with his fingertip, then traces Zhao Muqing's neck with the damp finger.

"My husband, where else are you planning to sneak off to without telling me?"

[Coming Soon 2: "The Aloof Movie Emperor Is Secretly Flirting with Me"]

Xian Sui transmigrates into an entertainment-industry romance novel as a cannon-fodder villain. He stops at nothing to get close to the male lead, movie emperor Gu Fanzhou, for the sake of better opportunities. In the end, the emperor exposes his scandals, ruining his reputation and leaving him with nothing.

Xian Sui: Forget the movie emperor. I'm committed to doing nothing.

-

Gu Fanzhou, the male lead, is known throughout the entertainment industry as an aloof beauty: cold and difficult to approach. He's worked in show business for years without ever being linked to a single scandal, and netizens call him the ultimate workaholic.

Yet this very aloof beauty takes meticulous care of Xian Sui on a variety show. He checks on him when he's sick, helps him put on a coat when it's cold, and even offers to bathe him when an injury makes it difficult for Xian Sui to do so himself. "Sui Sui's skin is so white, like a milk brick. I want to lick it."

Xian Sui freezes. You call this being naturally cold and distant?

The netizens are stunned, too. Does he know his public image has collapsed?

-

Xian Sui happens to discover Gu Fanzhou's social media alt account.

Unable to resist, he clicks through the posts and discovers that Gu Fanzhou likes a junior colleague at the same company.

"His skin is so white, and he's so pretty. I want to cover him in my hickeys."

"I accidentally saw him changing. He has dimples above his hips. I want to put my arms around his waist."

"The beauty mark at the corner of his eye is lovely."

Xian Sui raises a hand and touches the beauty mark on his own face.

What are the odds?

-

Gu Fanzhou has spent years navigating the entertainment industry and seen countless beautiful faces, but never once has anyone moved his heart.

Until he sees Xian Sui secretly crying in the bathroom. A beauty mark sits beneath his reddened eye, and he looks heartbreakingly fragile.

Suddenly, Gu Fanzhou wants to capture a pretty little rabbit so beautiful it makes him tremble.

Theme: Pursue happiness.
