Let Me Be Arrogant [Esports]

[A hot-tempered, cocky troublemaker who pretends to be well-behaved x a refined, depraved schemer] Yi Xingran was a jungler prodigy who peaked the moment he went pro. He gave his all throughout his three-year career, covering for his teammates and fighting for his team, only to become embroiled in a match-fixing scandal. He was reviled by millions and lost all hope of ever competing at Worlds again. The day he died, the whole internet celebrated. His haters spread the news, saying he was cruel and arrogant, that this was what he deserved, and that his downfall was deeply satisfying. Meanwhile, the real culprit behind it all, his former team, soared to fame as a star team, raking in money from commercial endorsements and sponsorships. From then on, the League entered an era ruled by the LCK. Hah! Reborn, Yi Xingran kicked the two-faced scumbag teammate who had betrayed him down a flight of stairs. And now for the sanctimonious, smiling hypocrites and despicable schemers with their heads full of dark plots... The reckoning begins! - Pei Du, the championship-winning captain of his former rival team, had been Yi Xingran's nemesis for years. They were kings who never crossed paths. Rumor had it he came from an educated family and carried himself with natural grace. He was a celebrated gentleman of esports, an untouchable flower on a mountaintop. He looked down on Yi Xingran's arrogant, unrestrained ways, and Yi Xingran couldn't stand him either. But after years of clashing, only one person's death was announced. The man who had always been calm and composed lost control of his hand for the first time in his life and wasted a skill. When he opened his eyes again, Pei Du saw the young man who had died far too soon standing at the entrance to his team's headquarters. With vivid pink hair, glossy red lips pressed together, and long, curled lashes, Yi Xingran wore a face of breathtaking beauty as he announced that he wanted to transfer to the team. “Need a jungler, right? I...” Yi Xingran bit back his words, awkwardly. “I’m well-behaved, quiet, and good at the game. I follow orders and don’t cause trouble!” Pei Du: ? The buyout fee for his contract would cost eight figures. - In his previous life, when Yi Xingran was buried under slander and scandal, Pei Du was the only one who had ever raised his indifferent gaze and spoken up to clear his name. In this life, Yi Xingran had meant to keep a low profile. But after settling his old scores and standing on the championship podium, he belatedly realized... How had trying to keep a low profile ended with someone pinning him to the bed?! Little scene: At first, everyone on the team thought their new young jungler was pretty well-behaved. He was good-looking and skilled, nothing like the vicious person described in the rumors. It wasn't long before they caught the young jungler privately putting his former team in its place. His moves were swift, his threats blunt, and his bright eyes full of contempt. He looked utterly arrogant, as if no one could touch him. The team stared in disbelief. Yi Xingran was headstrong and always ready to fight back, but Pei Du was known for being fair and strict. Surely Yi Xingran was in for it now. But when Pei Du approached, they saw him personally straighten Yi Xingran's torn collar. Beneath his polished leather shoe, he crushed the phone that had been used to take covert pictures, grinding all the evidence to pieces. His former team panicked. “He hit someone and provoked them! You're his captain, so you should punish him severely. How can you abuse your position for personal gain? I'll report you!” “Why can't I?” Pei Du transformed into the powerful heir behind the League's investors. Pinching the tip of Yi Xingran's burning ear, he chuckled softly: “Feel better? If not, we can keep going.” “…” Yi Xingran, who was always so brazen and reckless, inexplicably blushed. That sounded familiar. He was pretty sure he'd heard it last night. #Sang Biao, Sang Biao, why does everyone call you Mimi? ^ ^ #Dude, seriously... Can we talk this out?

Please add it to your collection~ [S-rank White Wolf King Sentinel seme x Guide uke with two spirit forms] Jian Xingbai is a veterinarian who loves petting all kinds of fluffy animals and keeps a spay-and-neuter scalpel in hand. He has just three wishes in life: 1. Let Earth explode. 2. Let humanity go extinct. 3. Let the world end. Then animals and plants mutated, and the world really was coming to an end. A Shiba Inu he'd just neutered transformed into a giant monster capable of swallowing someone's head in one bite. Jian Xingbai: QAQ? He might not want to live, but he doesn't exactly want to be bitten to death! - Disaster struck and strange creatures proliferated. Yun Yizhou, the highest-ranking executive officer bearing the future of all humanity on his shoulders, was an S-rank Sentinel. Powerful and ruthless, he was a walking weapon with terrifying destructive capabilities. But no Guide could soothe his nightmarish mental landscape. Everyone thought a tyrant like him would inevitably suffer a complete mental breakdown and become a monster. Even he believed it. Until he met Jian Xingbai. Amid a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, countless tiny jellyfish swirled around the young man. His D-rank Guide mental strength was as fragile as his quantum beast, yet he was the only survivor in a heavily contaminated zone. Yun Yizhou pointed his icy gun at the boy's head, his expression blank. “Did you kill them?” Jian Xingbai innocently looked up, hiding his sharp scalpel, then heard the sound of a bullet being chambered. Jian Xingbai: QAQ! ...He didn't want to get his head blown off either! Somebody help! - Later, a D-rank young Guide appeared by Yun Yizhou's side. Later still, an enormous immortal jellyfish blotted out the moon, its lights shimmering, while the long black tail feathers of a crested jay sliced through the sky and tore away the gloom shrouding the entire city. Only then did everyone learn just how terrifying the mental strength of Jian Xingbai really was: the world's only attack-type Guide awakened with two quantum beasts, who rode on the White Wolf King's head like it was a rocking horse. Little scene: On nights when no one was around, the S-rank tyrant, always unyielding and cold-blooded in front of others, would gently lower his head and cautiously ask the young man for a kiss, seeking a little soothing from his Guide pheromones. Jian Xingbai rubbed his lips, swollen from kissing. “Didn't you say one kiss was all it took to soothe you? Sir!” The enormous white wolf nudged the boy's palm with its fluffy head, its suppressed mental frenzy about to erupt... “One more kiss,” “Please.” Jian Xingbai, unable to speak: Eep, QAQ ...If I'd known I was about to die, I wouldn't have bothered living! · Sentinel-Guide story, 1v1, both are each other's first and only, happy ending · Contains original worldbuilding, not technical or hard sci-fi; readers unfamiliar with Sentinel-Guide settings can still follow · Quantum beasts, also called spirit forms, are all kinds of animals · Includes wasteland and Lovecraftian elements; entirely fictional and made up, with no allusions to reality Theme: Stay true to your original aspirations and return to the top
