[Next Book: Eighteen-Year-Old College Student Roommate] Please add it to your to-read list =3=
AK, the KPL's number-one mid laner, wakes up after a car accident to find himself in the body of a Korean-based idol trainee with the same name as him.
The trainee, Luo Shi, debuted as a last-minute addition to a competition show's temporary group. He got the most votes from China, the worst resources, and only ten seconds of screen time in the music video. The most common comment was, "Big brother wipes out the whole world." Thanks to his teammates' amazing ability to disappear whenever he needed them, he was isolated and bullied, eventually developing severe depression.
With one month left before the group disbanded, they were livestreaming a group variety show to show off their team spirit. In the eleven-member group, one of the teammates who bullied him suggested a 5v5 game, then smiled and explained to the fans watching how he was "looking after" their youngest member: "...Luo Shi isn't very good at games."
One teammate got a stomachache and suddenly tossed his phone to Luo Shi.
That night, Luo Shi made the domestic trending list for the first time since the competition show ended.
#NationalServerXishi.
#22-0-2.
#LuoShi: Yeah, I'm really not very good.
As it happened, the World Champion Cup was holding its group stage in Seoul. Luo Shi was invited by the organizers to watch. His stunning face on the big screen drew a chorus of screams from the crowd. A young man in a VIC jersey glanced up by chance and paused for a moment.
That night, Luo Shi trended for the second time.
#LuoShiJiaShu.
#BoyGroupVisualsVsEsportsVisuals
The temporary group disbanded. On his first day back in China, Luo Shi terminated his contract with his agency. The teammate who had bullied him gleefully waited for the day Luo Shi faded into obscurity without a trace.
Luo Shi, on the hook for five million in contract penalties, returned to his old line of work and started streaming.
Yu Jia Shu happened to come across the stream and casually sent him a few Super Rockets.
Forced by circumstances, the cool guy turned soft and sweet.
The streamer, who killed opponents left and right in games, said in a sugary, gentle voice, "Thanks, big brother~"
From then on, an anonymous top supporter became a regular in his livestream.
·
Two months after returning to China, Luo Shi made his first appearance on a variety show.
"Glory's Peak," an esports training program featuring numerous celebrities, professional players, and coaches.
The teammate had kept checking back, waiting for Luo Shi to fade into obscurity, only to catch the livestream of the final episode of "Glory's Peak." His former teammate sat in the center of the screen, with a hugely popular actress on his left, whose hit dramas had taken Asia by storm, and a legendary actor on his right, known at home and abroad and a Cannes award winner... The shot changed to the coach: the KPL's number-one jungler, an esports heartthrob whose candid photos from the finals had trended worldwide. His ID was Jia Shu. His name was Yu Jia Shu.
They were far behind. All his teammates were dead, and Luo Shi defended their base at low health, one against five.
His beautiful face was calm, confident, and focused, with a captivating charm unlike anything he'd shown onstage.
A game notification sounded on his phone.
"Pentakill. Ace."
The familiar comments brought back the terror his former teammate had felt under the domination of Luo Shi's fans.
The real deal: big brother wipes out the whole world.
A year later, the little idol who'd returned to China from a flop competition-show group hadn't faded into obscurity at all. He was invited to a celebrity match, filmed an ad with KPL stars, landed several major endorsements, acted in an official live-action movie, and appeared on variety shows. When a camera accidentally caught his WeChat contacts, they were all top-tier stars, popular actresses, and a Cannes-winning actress.
: Big brother Mage God, add me, I'm a noob, carry me~
: Luo God, climbing ranked tonight?
: The Canyon is your stage. If you've got the guts, come on!
A popular young actor invited Luo Shi and Yu Jia Shu to play a three-person team on livestream, forgetting to turn off the team voice chat. A random player they matched with flirted with the top-lane support and jungler, her voice so sweet the viewers cried that they couldn't take it.
"Brother Jia Shu, can I have a friend slot~"
Hundreds of thousands of viewers watched as the KPL's rising number-one jungler, usually so aloof, gently coaxed someone.?
"I didn't give it to her."
"Mage, come take red."
"Are you mad?"
His voice dropped low and deep, clear and pleasant, irresistibly flirtatious.
"Luo God, can I have a boyfriend slot?"

Coming Soon: Eighteen-Year-Old College Student Roommate
Song Rong had supported his boyfriend for four years. The boyfriend had just gotten into A University's postdoctoral program when he broke up with him.
"You're twenty-six now, your education isn't impressive, your job is mediocre, and you have no ambition. You're also frigid. We're no longer on the same wavelength. Let's break up."
Song Rong lightly adjusted his glasses, slowly said, "Oh," then stood up to take a work call and left.
Song Rong worked as a rental agent. While visiting a construction site to coordinate with the project manager, he picked up a new client.
The new tenant was only eighteen and had come to work part-time after taking the college entrance exam.
A University's acceptance letter was delivered to the construction site.
The young man signed for it, sweat running over the tendons in his arm. His back was broad and straight.
His handwriting was elegant, too.
Pei Li.
Song Rong watched him for a while.
He was sure the problem had been his ex-boyfriend.
There was no way he was frigid.
-
Aside from construction work, Pei Li tutored students in math, physics, and chemistry. His clients all lived near the university or in wealthy neighborhoods, too far away for him to commute, so he decided to rent a place.
The rental agent was refined and handsome, but seemed a little dim.
The apartment he showed Pei Li was a five-minute walk from A University, and cost six figures per square meter.
Song Rong: "Three thousand a month, utilities included."
Pei Li frowned.
Song Rong nervously said, "How about... two thousand nine hundred? Two thousand eight hundred?"
Pei Li: "Does the owner know?"
Song Rong: "Yes."
He was the owner.
He owned the whole building.^^
-
Later, Song Rong's ex-boyfriend, who happened to learn that Song Rong moonlighted as a rental agent but mainly collected rent from an entire building, regretted everything and came asking to get back together.
The door opened, and the ex-boyfriend froze.
Pei Li.
His junior in the same department.
A campus celebrity.
Not only because he was handsome, but because his name often appeared on lists of national awards and special scholarships. He'd joined a research group as a freshman and published a first-author paper in an SCI Q1 journal as a sophomore...
Even their taciturn supervisor had praised his limitless potential.
"Pei Li? What are you doing here??"
Pei Li's shoulders and back were covered in fresh bite marks and scratches.
His voice was low and hoarse.
"Paying rent."
① Younger man romance. An eighteen-year-old college student with plenty of strength and tricks up his sleeve. Pei Li.
② The seme is a virgin. The recipient and his ex-boyfriend had a normal relationship, with kissing and hugging but no sex. Please skip this if that's a concern.
③ Blurb screenshotted on 2024.10.22.
Theme: Dreams belong to those who never give up.
Yeah, it's very sweet. But the setting of returning from Captain to 18 doesn't have much effect. In other words, the so-called Captain has almost nothing to do with the rest of the story. Fortunately, my memory is not very good and I forget about it as soon as I look at it... But if you really want to talk about it logically, it is indeed a bit redundant. Time travel back to 18 years old and fall in love. The character design I mentioned at the beginning is not consistent with my own character design. Not only the male protagonist, but also the character design of Gong can hardly tell that he is not very old... Maybe the author mainly goes in the direction of love... As the previous captain, the male protagonist's ability can be withdrawn Is it still not enough... The so-called entertainment circle added by the author in the early stage has no sense of existence in the later stage... At least there is a fan group... Some details are not particularly in place. For example, the handling of camera problems is said to be mild, but it is not said to be gone. What about the fan group? Look... My feeling is that there is no such thing as this group of fans later, it's all about CP... It's a bit like changing the character for the purpose of writing about love... It's like setting up the love point itself, and interspersing the competition... The character is relatively simple, and can be enriched through competition, or through the so-called e-sports growth, and the path of dreams to enrich the characters. Emotional development, in addition to one fish and one hook, can be better promoted through other things such as competitions, or exchanges of ideas, so that the coherence will be better.
I saw that this is the first time the author has written this kind of article, and it is very good. Keep up the good work. The above is just my personal opinion, if it offends, please ignore it.
It's okay, a mindless little sweet story, only the extras are left unread. The setting is quite new.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh what kind of sweet baby is this wwwww
Very sweet, I like it
It's really sweet. The cookies are the most lovable.
I thought my identity would be exposed, but I didn't expect it to be exposed. It's a silly little sweet article, but it's okay.
It's been a while since I've read a book in its entirety, and I've read it intermittently. It's pretty good except for the fact that the male protagonist is a bit disconnected from playing the game again.
