★Long-planned scheme, rumored enemies, secret romance within the team

Qi Qiao, ID: Ghost, is Arcana Oracle's most talked-about esports newcomer in the S7 Global League.

At 18, with green hair and a handsome face, he's a mid-lane prodigy who hit his peak the moment he debuted.

His only two scandals are his razor-sharp tongue,

and his bitter rivalry with Devil, the most legendary figure in the history of Acr esports.

The two fandoms fight like rival fan clubs.

They compete over skill, height, looks, even family members.

[Ghost fans: Our little rascal has a rich, gentle older brother who bought him a million-yuan gaming setup last time!]

[Devil fans: So what? Devil has an adorable, obedient little brother who made him a cup of goji berry tea last time!]

Everyone thought the two couldn't stand each other, and that breathing the same air for more than an hour would make them explode.

Until one day, an anonymous user posted a video on Weibo.

The bathroom was dimly lit.

Pei Ming leaned against the sink, a cigarette pinched between his fingers.

The mint-green-haired youth suddenly grabbed his wrist.

"Smack!"

The sound of the cigarette hitting the floor was crystal clear.

Qi Qiao's eyes were red at the corners as he glared at him through gritted teeth. "Didn't you say you'd quit?"

Pei Ming simply looked at him in silence. After a long pause, he said, "It's been a year."

The boy took a step back, but Pei Ming bent down and pinned him in the corner.

Pei Ming's fingertips brushed Qi Qiao's neck as he lowered his head. "I've missed you so much, little brother."

The video abruptly cut off.

The fans: ?!

[So Ghost is Devil's adorable, obedient little brother!]

[So Devil is Ghost's rich, gentle older brother!]

The hashtags shot to the top of the trending page.

Two minutes later...

Weibo crashed.

P.S.:

2. Qi Qiao (Ghost) is the bottom, Pei Ming (Devil) is the top.

3. Qi Qiao and Pei Ming lived together for five years. Pei Ming was in love with Qiao Qiao all along, while Qiao Qiao hadn't realized he liked men. They aren't related by blood. Qi Qiao's mother was friends with Pei Ming's mother, and after something happened to Qi Qiao's family, he moved in with Pei Ming.

4. They were separated for a year because of a misunderstanding. They weren't together at the time.

Coming soon 1: After My Livestream Went Off the Rails, My Roommate Made Me Wear Handcuffs

Blurb:

Ning Xu is a voice actor and streamer who never shows his face.

His seductive, elegant voice made him famous in the voice-acting community. Since he'd never appeared in public, his haters guessed he was extremely ugly and could only make a living with his voice.

Then one day, a livestream accident turned on his camera.

The lower half of a young man's fair, smooth face appeared on screen, his lips a soft pink. He was breathtakingly handsome.

The fans in the livestream went wild:

"Holy crap, that's really him?!"

"Help, who said our Xu Xu was ugly? Look at that gorgeous face!"

"He's so pretty, I want to kiss him to death!"

The livestream was in an uproar, until footsteps sounded in the dimly lit living room thirty seconds later.

A tall, slender man in a black trench coat suddenly walked into the frame.

The young man, who'd been playing on his phone, froze.

On screen, a long, elegant finger with prominent knuckles brushed across his soft pink lips.

"Xu Xu."

The man's voice was elegant and cool. "It's 11:43. I've been waiting for you in the bedroom for thirteen minutes."

Ning Xu froze. "...But today, we've already done it four ti, "

Before he could finish, the man's fingertip slipped between his lips.

"You know," the man said in a low, slightly hoarse voice. "It's nowhere near enough for me."

The livestream camera went to sleep the next second.

But the audience could just barely hear distant, restrained gasps and the faint sound of someone saying, "Gege."

Every viewer in the livestream: "???!!!"

Ning Xu is the youngest son of the Ning family. He's well-behaved, and privately, he also streams as a voice actor.

One day, he received a post recommendation on X.

It was a photo of a hand.

A black bone chain wound around the palm. The bones were sharply defined, the fingers long, the veins prominent.

Ning Xu's breath caught. From then on, he became an obsessive hand fetishist.

His family tried to force him into an arranged marriage, so Ning Xu ran away and got into S University on his excellent grades.

Fate had other plans: at S University, he ended up sharing a dorm with the very person his family wanted him to marry.

He Hanjin was a cool, aloof senior-year finance major and the most handsome guy on campus, as well as the heir to the most prominent He family in the city. He was also Ning Xu's unseen fiance.

To avoid awkwardness, Ning Xu and He Hanjin barely spoke after he moved into the dorm.

Until one day, while Ning Xu was livestreaming alone in the dorm, he suddenly heard someone say "Gege" from one of the beds.

The voice was soft, alluring, and unmistakable.

Ning Xu froze.

That was the private wake-up recording he'd made for his top donor. Why was it playing in the dorm?

Following the sound, Ning Xu found a phone facedown on He Hanjin's bed.

The alarm on it was his voice calling someone "Gege."

But the screen was open to X.

The familiar bone chain, the familiar hand.

The only difference was that this time, the owner of the account was on the phone, not the person admiring him.

Just then, the dorm room door creaked open.

Ning Xu froze and hurriedly pulled his hand back, but the person entering had already seen him.

He Hanjin picked up the phone that had fallen from Ning Xu's hand.

He looked up, his gaze dark and cold. "The alarm was recorded by my boyfriend. You should understand that I won't marry you."

Ning Xu froze for a moment, but just as He Hanjin was about to walk out of the dorm, he softly called, "Gege."

His voice was quiet, but its soft, elegant sweetness reached the man's ears clearly.

He Hanjin stopped.

In the space of two months, S City was turned upside down.

For example, the Ning and He families suddenly announced their marriage alliance with astonishing speed.

For example, the top seductive, elegant voice in the voice-acting community turned out to be taken.

For example, Ning Xu gave up his hand fetish for good.

On the seventh day of their marriage.

Ning Xu looked at the several bone chains and handcuffs arranged by the bed. His waist instinctively began to ache.

The man's eyes darkened slightly, his voice cool. "Which ones do you want me to use tonight?"

The corners of Ning Xu's eyes were red as he asked timidly, "...Could we take a break tonight?"

The man only smiled faintly and picked up a pair of handcuffs. "Sure. Then you can wear them tonight, Xu Xu."

Ning Xu: "..."

He swore he would never go on X to look at hands again!

P.S.:

1. A seductive, beautiful voice actor on the bottom with an obsessive hand fetish x a cool, secretly sensual daddy on top with an obsessive voice fetish

2. The top shows his hands on X, but that's all. He's completely pure, but he's addicted to stargazing, so he can't control himself around the bottom.

3. Though they both tried to run from the marriage, neither of them actually called off the engagement.
