The livestream of the YUI professional league finals ends. The ZK team, which has been "trash" for three years, gets flamed to hell, along with a green-haired edgelord.
A video of the green-haired edgelord staunchly backing ZK's star jungler, Ji Zong, spreads online.
"Say the name Ji Zong to anyone, and they'll call him 'Daddy,'" the green-haired guy says, coolly surveying the crowd.
And he's not done. He points at himself and boasts without shame.
"This is another Daddy. Remember my face."
"When I win the YUI championship, come find me for an autograph."
[Dyed your hair scallion green and now you think you're a big shot?]
[Another gamer who's gone stupid. He's having delusions.]
[Diagnosed with terminal chuunibyou. There's no cure.]
Qiao Li gets flamed to hell, but he carries on doing whatever he wants, completely unabashed. When the ZK manager learns that Qiao Li has been placed among ZK's trainees, he nearly breaks down.
The ZK team members have no good feelings toward him, either.
But...
On Qiao Li's first day with the team, the manager misunderstands him, and he doesn't even defend himself.
He keeps his head down and says nothing, looking pitiful.
On Qiao Li's fifth day with the team, Ji Zong drags him out for drinks. Qiao Li can't hold his liquor, but he still tries his best.
His little face scrunches up from the bitterness.
On Qiao Li's tenth day with the team, he's stopped from having coffee. After taking a couple of sips, he obediently hands over the cup.
He's the very picture of a well-behaved boy.
*
Ji Zong, ZK's gold-medal jungler, runs into the neighbor boy he'd lost touch with years ago, and his aloofness disappears.
Ji Zong has always thought the boy was sweet and sensible, until he realizes the boy wants to date him...
Ji Zong: "..."
*
Much later, a ZK team member's relationship is exposed.
Fans: It's all rumors!
The person who broke the story releases a blurry video. In it, a certain jungler pins a certain mid laner against a car and kisses him. Afterward, he shoves him into the car, lowers the seat, and keeps kissing him...
Fans: I knew those two had something going on!
[Arrogant, wild, and good at pretending to be the bottom x an aloof-looking, fatherly top who is anything but sexually cold]
1. There is a seven-year age gap between the top and bottom.
2. Everything related to the game Conquer the Lanes is made up by the author. Please don't dwell on it.
3. Sweet and satisfying, one-on-one romance. The blurb may change, but the tropes won't.

The Outdated CP Takes the Internet by Storm, ongoing
Synopsis:
Yao Zhou has been blacklisted by his trash company for three years. After losing a lawsuit, he has to pay fifty million in breach-of-contract damages.
He couldn't pay that back in ten lifetimes of hard work.
Just when he has nowhere left to turn, he runs into his former boyfriend, the top-tier star he'd treated like trash.
The man throws a marriage agreement at him. The contract pays fifty million.
Yao Zhou: Even if he wants to play BDSM, I'm in.
Yao Zhou prepares himself for physical and emotional torture. Reality turns out exactly as he'd imagined.
*
Huo Yiwen brings him to an industry event and makes him stand off to the side.
"Stay here. Don't move around."
Yao Zhou stands there, miserable, wolfing down free snacks.
Three hours later, Huo Yiwen says sarcastically, "Why aren't you sitting down? Can't you see the chairs?"
Yao Zhou forces a smile: Damn, I'll just swallow my anger.
*
Huo Yiwen is filming a drama and gives him the role of Male N: the male lead's younger brother. The male lead is Huo Yiwen.
"Do a good job. Don't make me look bad."
Yao Zhou bears the humiliation and serves as a perfect yes-man, both on and off set.
After filming wraps, Huo Yiwen gives him a cold look. "I was talking to my assistant. I didn't ask you to bring me a glass of water."
Yao Zhou bears the humiliation: Damn, damn, damn! It's all for the money!
*
After enduring it all, Yao Zhou plans to cut ties with Huo Yiwen once the year is up.
But...
There are actually weird fans shipping him and Huo Yiwen as an outdated CP!
When Huo Yiwen makes him stand for three hours,
CP fans: Zhouzhou is so clueless. He doesn't even know to find a seat! No wonder Brother Huo couldn't focus when talking to the great director!
When Huo Yiwen orders him around,
CP fans: Zhouzhou is so obedient. What a perfect wife! No wonder Brother Huo takes him along to film!
The outdated CP "One Leaf on a Little Boat" gradually becomes a popular ship!
Yao Zhou: My eyes are always filled with tears.
*
As time goes by, Yao Zhou reasonably suspects that Huo Yiwen's marketing team is behind it. Huo Yiwen is using him to attract fans, then clean up his image and turn casual fans into loyal ones! He's squeezing every last bit of value out of him! Fifty million yuan for fifty million fans!
Yao Zhou: What a ruthless man!
Yao Zhou scoffs at Huo Yiwen's vile behavior. The moment their year is up, he's out of there!
But on the very day he tries to leave, he's caught.
The man pins him against the wall, grips his neck, and kisses him fiercely.
Dazed from the kiss, Yao Zhou sees Huo Yiwen's cold face as he tugs at his tie.
"I've been pursuing you for a whole year, and this is how you repay me?"
"Looks like I've been far too nice to you."
"We've been married long enough. It's time we did what married couples do."
Yao Zhou: !!!
[Highlights]
1. Sweet and satisfying showbiz romance, two strong leads, reunited after a breakup, married first and in love later, kept-man romance.
2. No real-life inspirations. Please respect the original work.
3. Includes on-screen comments. Don't read if that bothers you.
