Retired Idols Should Stay Away from Anime!

(The main story is complete. I'm taking this week off, and next week I'll update the next bonus chapter, mwah.) Li Geleng was an amateur cosplayer. He never showed his face, taking commissions in a mask and wig. None of his wealthy patrons knew that he was a genuine beauty. He didn't want his secret identity exposed because he'd almost debuted as an idol once. People online had called him the uncrowned king: beautiful, strong, and tragic. He treated his former idol days as internet history best forgotten, came back to study for graduate school, and fell in love with anime and manga. Then an opportunity came out of nowhere. His senior dragged him to a convention, and he fell for Lou Wailou, indisputably the top-tier star of the cosplay scene! His senior teased him, “Little dream guy, is that tower your type?” Li Geleng crossed his arms in an X. “I'm a fan of Lou Wailou's character costume. Real-life men only wilt my paper-sexual heart.” But an unintentional blunder by Li Geleng, who only liked the work itself, caught the attention of Lou Wailou, the character-costumed figure he admired. Lou Wailou was a man. His real name was Lou Zhao. A “heartthrob” cosplayer with a million followers in the anime world, in real life he was just an ordinary eldest son in the eyes of his parents and younger brother. He also had the strongest cosmetic surgery anyone in the real world could want: a heart full of insecurity, convinced he was a monster. The moment Lou Wailou heard Li Geleng defending him in an argument at the convention and saying that he would “love” only him for the rest of his life, he immediately took notice of Li Geleng... The famous cosplayer also realized that Li Geleng had started cosplaying too. When they met again at a convention, Lou Wailou helped the little-known newcomer, and the two teamed up. Days later, back in the real world, Li Geleng saw the dimensional wall shatter. It turned out that people had inexplicably started shipping him and Lou Wailou, and their CP had appeared out of nowhere! The top comment read: If you two don't get married, this is going to be hard to resolve. From then on, the two exchanged contact information online like a real couple, sent each other packages, and reminded each other to pick them up. The affection Lou Wailou and Linglingling hid behind their secret identities, from merchandise to figurines to attending every convention just to chase after you, made them the best “CP.” Then Lou's husband called him: “My darling, how about meeting up in person?” He added, “You never said you wanted to reveal your identity in the real world. Was I really that unreasonable? Because the only person I'll ever support is you.” The former idol's inner thoughts: I mean, flirting with Teacher Lou through a screen every day really is making my scalp itch a little. Oh, is my heart about to grow into a lovestruck brain? [Please Note] 1. Told from the bottom's perspective, mutual pining. CP: An absurdly handsome, absurdly loving, insecure rich guy x a gorgeous, goofy beauty who flirts with witty lines and then runs away. 2. 1v1. Both leads have some niche preferences. They go from meeting through their anime-world personas to meeting in the real world. Their backgrounds are a little melodramatic, but their romance is sickeningly sweet and completely devoted. The top is madly in love, and the bottom is amazing. 3. This is the second version of the blurb. The first didn't match the story, and after readers made some fair suggestions, I revised it. To everyone who read the first version, I prostrate myself three times in apology. 4. #They'reReallyAPerfectPair##IfTheyDon'tGetMarriedThisWillBeHardToResolve#.
