I Catfished an Esports God, Then Got Exposed and Crashed

Ruan You is a fairly well-known cross-dressing livestreamer, firmly established as the number-one "sister" in the site's looks category.

There was nothing he could do about it. He was born beautiful, and it was hard not to become a cash cow.

Until he lost a PK match, and his opponent's forfeit was to win over "God Qing," the top-tier star in the esports category next door, within a month.

The chat quickly said there was no way that could happen, then laughed it off.

Unwilling to give up, Ruan You made an alt account to check him out. He had a handsome face with perfect proportions, and his fingers were long and nimble on the keyboard. He'd even heard Qing was so rich his family had bought him an esports club to play with.

The only problem was, he was fierce. Really fierce.

He always looked sour, and the moment anyone crossed him, he'd type out a scathing reply. He'd mute them and jump straight into the next match. He didn't see men and women, only strong and weak players.

Who would even try to flirt with a straight-laced guy like that?

Ruan You made an alt and sent gifts in Qing's livestream for a whole month, becoming one of his biggest fans before finally adding him as a friend.

Every day, he checked in to say good morning and good night. The guy might as well have been dead: he never replied.

So Ruan You changed his profile picture to match Qing's, changed his bio to match Qing's too, and even started a livestream on his alt where he streamed himself watching Qing. He practiced playing Qing's signature jungle hero as well.

Finally, a little red dot appeared in his messages.

"Qing: Keep stealing my jungle and I'll curse your whole family."

Ruan You was so scared he didn't dare reply for three days. After searching online for some tips, he steeled himself, dressed in women's clothes, changed his name, bought a custom verification badge, and posted an unedited photo of himself dressed up as a young girl.

"It's Softsoft: Big bro, do I look pretty?"

"Qing: Don't try to fool me with an internet photo."

He replied instantly. That meant success!

After all Ruan You's efforts, he finally managed to get Qing to play a game with him by spending money. He began the first match of his gaming career.

"Big bro, you're amazing! I want to keep playing with you forever!"

"I don't take students."

A few days later, Ruan You couldn't take it anymore and turned on his mic. He used the voice changer he'd often used back when he was the number-one "sister" in the looks category. "Big bro, could you please not be so mean?"

A man's amused, mocking voice immediately rang in his ear.

"You think I'd really fall for such a low-level cross-dressing act? Stop sending me gifts."

"Since you're my fan, I won't hold it against you. I'll refund your money, including the platform's share."

"And study hard and keep improving."

"Next time, don't use my goddess's internet photos and voice to lure someone into carrying you to a higher rank. Got it?"

Ruan You was stunned for a long time, thinking furiously.

Wait, goddess?

...What goddess?

Was his main account Jiang Qingyang's goddess?!

·

Ruan You hurriedly switched accounts. The number-one "sister" in the looks category dropped into God Qing's livestream: I've never played this game before. God Qing, can you carry me?

Heh. Jiang Qingyang had treated him like a lovesick puppy for a whole month.

Now it was finally Jiang Qingyang's turn to be his dog.

2. The game is based on the 5v5 game Honor of Kings.

3. The male lead is a top-tier carry, a livestreaming gaming god, but he doesn't play professionally.

4. Youyou is a pretty, dumb little noob. He can only climb the ranks by riding on his husband's coattails.
