1. Ji Cunxue loves money.
As a beauty streamer who makes a living off his looks while pretending to be a woman, his daily job is to chat, do PK battles, and flatter the top donor. Then he can reach the pinnacle of success.
That's the rosy picture his agency boss painted for him.
The reality is that he has no big donors, and the only one who ever spends a little money seems to have disappeared. Everyone else just watches without paying... though they do stick around.
The agency boss worked through the night to give him a new persona: a pitiful little white flower.
A father who died young, a sick mother, a younger sister in school, and a broken-hearted him.
According to the boss, a pretty little streamer who seems innocent and naive is exactly the kind of person who brings out a big donor's protective instincts.
Sure enough, a rich donor named Freedom Above All appeared out of nowhere. The new big donor started throwing money around like crazy, helping him win PK battles and never missing a single event or annual contest.
His reckless spending shocked the gossip streamers who had come over from the scrolling chat, as well as other streamers secretly watching his stream.
Things were looking up. A new big donor had finally arrived.
The bad news: the new big donor seemed to be an old man with a family.
Ji Cunxue chickened out, afraid the donor's wife would come after him.
But after Ji Cunxue transferred the money back, the donor got anxious instead:
Freedom Above All: "You don't know whether I'm married or not?"
Freedom Above All: "Miss, who are you insulting? You think I need that little bit of money from you?"
That very day, he applied for a small account called Eloping with Xue and went from old man to big donor in love.
Well, Ji Cunxue had thought he was a prideful construction foreman pretending to be rich, but it turned out he really was a big-money donor.
Just as Ji Cunxue was about to reach the pinnacle of success through streaming, he ran into his top donor by chance at the annual event.
Ji Cunxue's eyes widened in shock.
Wasn't this his new roommate, who had just moved in at the start of the semester?
His new roommate was a bad-tempered, cold straight man who was also homophobic.
He had a nasty temper and was always barking at people. He'd been mean to Ji Cunxue on their very first day and was always picking on him.
Ji Cunxue couldn't stand him.
He'd told his top donor plenty of bad things about him.
On the awards stage, that unrestrained, direct gaze fixed on him. Ji Cunxue's scalp prickled, and he wanted to slip away as soon as the event ended.
Before he could run, a large hand reached from behind and clasped him around the waist.
"Pretending you don't know me?"
"Why are you crying? You're the one who played with my feelings. I haven't even cried."

Chu Siyao fell in love with a little streamer at first sight.
The little streamer was pretty, sweet-talking, and good at acting cute. Wearing a lovely little dress in front of the camera, she pitifully claimed she couldn't even afford a cup of instant noodles. She was like a little white flower on the verge of wilting, seemingly putting on a brave face but somehow appearing all the more resilient.
Chu Siyao was utterly smitten by her helpless, lovable look.
As a qualified human ATM, he spent his days helping her in PK battles and showering her with gifts, while edging out the second- and third-place donors who pretended to be career fans or fatherly fans but secretly acted like her husbands. Every so often, the pretty streamer would say something shockingly blunt and leave him stunned. All in all, life was pretty good.
Then someone sent him a private message claiming that the little streamer was faking everything, that if he stopped sending gifts, her affection would disappear too, and that he was a sucker.
Chu Siyao didn't believe it. He sent even more gifts than before.
So what if she's greedy? He's lustful. They're made for each other.
Just as he was thinking about how to coax the little streamer into meeting him in person, he accidentally discovered that the streamer was his roommate.
It took him a day to accept that he'd turned gay, only to find that his roommate seemed to hate him?
A pretty, money-loving little thing who's timid offline but occasionally says shockingly blunt things online x a cold, handsome straight man who's aloof offline but relentlessly aggressive online, full of slick lines and scheming
