My Idol Is Actually My Boss [Livestream]

The novel has been revised extensively during serialization and after completion. Pirated copies are incomplete. Thank you for supporting the official version. By day, Yu Sibai is a design director at a well-known company. He keeps to himself, a cool and distant workaholic whose handsome face is impossible to hide behind his rimless glasses. At night, Yu Sibai becomes Respit2, a popular gaming streamer whose viewership outshines the official secondary stream. Every broadcast shoots straight to the top, and he’s never shown his face in all these years. Everyone knows Respite has two great loves: roasting the daily grind of office workers and being a die-hard fan of Execut2. Execut2 is an esports legend, a four-time champion and former team captain who vanished from public view after retiring, becoming a legend in the community. Asked about it, die-hard fan Yu Sibai says, “My husband retired, he didn’t die. Thanks for asking, but I’m not remarrying.” Yu Sibai: “Speaking of which, our company’s new boss is drop-dead gorgeous. He’s got about a third of Execut2’s good looks, which certainly brightens up my drab office-worker life… Too bad he’s always smiling, so he doesn’t look like a good guy. Unlike my husband, whose icy expression beats the whole world.” The next day, after the new CEO’s staff meeting, he suddenly asks, “Director Yu, do you think I should be a little more serious?” Yu Sibai pushes up his glasses and puts on a stiff office-worker smile. “President Ji is so approachable. All your colleagues like you.” The new CEO lets out a chuckle whose meaning is hard to read. - During a birthday livestream, Yu Sibai jokingly makes a wish: “I hope that when I wake up tomorrow, I’ll see my missing husband Execut2 at home.” The following day, after accompanying the new CEO to a banquet, Yu Sibai is stopped as he staggers along. The new CEO, who is usually as warm as a spring breeze, now has a slight frown. “Where do you live? I’ll take you home.” Yu Sibai stares at his boss’s cold face, eyes unfocused. “…My cyber husband seems to have risen from the dead.” Ji Wenze is silent for two seconds, then laughs at the drunkard. Yu Sibai objects. “Don’t laugh. When you smile, you don’t look like him anymore.” That night, Respit2, who had never missed a stream, didn’t go live. But Execut2, who hadn’t posted in eight years, put up a new message. [Covering for @Respit2. No stream tonight.] -Reader tips: This is a real-world story with livestreaming.

Welcome to the Villain’s Side [Esports] ·Blurb· At twenty-eight, Xu Xingyuan leads his team to a shutout loss at the world championship. Once a prodigy who burst onto the scene as the number-one player on the Asian server, he has gone ten years without a single championship. Fans denounce him, the owner blames him, the coach says they need a change, and his teammates clench their fists and tell him I stopped wanting to be your teammate a long time ago. Xu Xingyuan turns down his final transfer offer, retires, and undergoes surgery. When he opens his eyes again, he’s back at nineteen. The championship trophy he’d once again failed to win is behind him, and his dejected teammates are waiting for comfort in front of him. “Want to transfer? This team doesn’t deserve you.” The opposing team’s captain casually holds his trophy and calls out to him with a smirk. “I’m only asking once. Don’t miss your chance.” In the space of those two sentences, his teammates have already left him behind. After a moment’s silence, Xu Xingyuan turns around and gets into the opposing team’s car. As his old rival stares at him in stunned silence, he prompts them calmly. “How’s the food at your training base? I’m a picky eater, so I’m hard to keep.” - The transfer of the Asian server’s top prodigy and entry fragger sets the entire esports world ablaze. The criticism is deafening. Everyone says Xu Xingyuan must have lost his mind, asking why he’d join a team whose style is the complete opposite of his own. The opposing team is full of villains. The better they do, the more obnoxious they get, making everyone furious and powerless to stop them. Xu Xingyuan, however, is a man of few words. Every interview begins with “I’m sorry,” and the more aggressive he is on the field, the more soft and vulnerable he seems off it. The hashtag #HopeXuXingyuanSurvives floods the forums. But when a documentary about this legendary superteam’s grand-slam run begins airing, everyone realizes that the story of a little lamb wandering into a pack of wolves was a lie. The Devil has simply reclaimed his power. The hothead who mouths off at the entire league gets forced by Xu Xingyuan to practice until he’s bawling. The little demon who taunts opponents and teammates alike, and keeps doing it even after being fined hundreds of thousands, immediately lowers his weapon at a single glance from Xu Xingyuan. The king of stream-hijacking, a prankster who stirs up trouble on every broadcast, gets into a three-hundred-round argument with someone over his Xingyuan-ge and acts like a dog whose tail’s been stepped on. Xu Xingyuan: “I’ve just come back from hell. It’s only natural to have a dark aura.” The opposing team’s captain smiles and rests his head on Xu Xingyuan’s shoulder. “Me? I’m the guardian spirit at Big Brother Satan’s back.” - Back in the best years of his life, he meets the best teammates and the lover whose soul fits his own. A storm of youth sweeps through the VCT! Theme: Keep love in your heart, and you’ll find your way to the dawn.
