The Esports Champion Next Door Is My Fan

Esports champion x top-tier star singer

Smooth-talking, scheming wolf-dog x sharp-tongued, soft-hearted ideal crush

He pursues her / Younger man / Everyday life / Sweet romance

Ye Linzhou is the LPL's newest jungle king, hitting his peak right from his debut. He's cocky and quick with a dirty joke, with countless fans. His handsome face could easily make it in entertainment, but he's a magnet for absolutely no women. His famous quote: "Esports doesn't need love."

After winning the championship, Ye Linzhou goes home and streams. Someone next door is singing, and their voice gets picked up on his stream. His fans go wild in the chat.

[So good! So good!]

[That voice is heavenly! God Zhou, go hit on her!]

[Why does that voice sound familiar?]

God Zhou: "Hit on her? No thanks."

Then he takes off his headset and realizes the voice sounds exactly like the anime crush he's adored for years.

Yun Li made her debut as a teenager. Her cool, understated voice made her the dream girl of countless fans, and every time she released a song, she took over the music forums.

In her senior year of college, Yun Li planned to go full-time after graduation, but she was betrayed. Her music guild disbanded, and her partner took the production team and ran.

On the first day Yun Li returns to her apartment with all her equipment in tow, a kind neighbor comes to help. She thinks he's a sunny, innocent little guy from next door.

Until one day, Yun Li clicks into Ye Linzhou's livestream and sees him bragging: "It's great being handsome. The girl next door sang just for me for a whole hour."

"Yeah, I know you don't get it. Humans and dogs are different."

"What do you mean, getting slapped in the face? Don't make things up. I don't have a face."

[Li Zi: Wasn't God Zhou the one crouching by the wall listening for an hour? ^ ^]

The chat floods with messages: He really has no face!

Not long after, news leaks online that the league is preparing its latest promotional song and wants Yun Li to sing it.

Her former partner comes to discuss working together, but Ye Linzhou is the one who comes out to meet him.

Ye Linzhou is handsome and dashing. His easygoing manner around Yun Li is gone, and he says lazily, "My girlfriend's asleep. Whatever you need, talk to me."

Her former partner holds back his irritation. "I'm here to discuss work. The new song..."

"Oh, I'm the one singing the promotional song," Ye Linzhou says, lifting his eyes. "So you can still talk to me."

It's more or less a story about a wolf-dog falling head over heels for love.

- The ex-boyfriend is a misunderstanding on the male lead's part. They never dated. When the female lead first entered the industry, the guild paired them up as a CP.

- They both love each other, and are each other's one and only. The female lead is a bit dense for various reasons, so he pursues her.

- This novel is entirely fictional. I made it all up, so please don't associate the characters with real people.

- An everyday-life story, mainly about romance.
