Can an All-Rounder Anime Cosplayer Also Become Famous in the Sports World?

Yan Shanshan, a cosplayer with a million followers, transmigrates into a book.

When he wakes up, he's become a side-character uke with rainbow hair, a leopard-print outfit, and a pearl-and-gold chain necklace in a truly appalling mishmash style. He gets tangled up with a powerful tycoon, and his story ends in tragedy.

And right now, he's lying in the tycoon's... bed from last night.

The tycoon frowns at him, his cold face the one the original Yan Shanshan had drugged. “You want to marry me that badly?”

Yan Shanshan springs up like a stranded fish and bows. “Sorry, I got into the wrong bed.”

Tycoon: “...”

Yan Shanshan runs for it. As he carefully checks his account balance and plans to start a new life,

he makes a shocking discovery: he doesn't even have 9.9 yuan to his name!

Being hungry is no fun.

Yan Shanshan immediately gives up on the brutal reality of never knowing where his next meal will come from, returns to his old job, and posts an offer for a commission.

But the original owner's style is so bizarre

that even when Yan Shanshan offers blind-box cosplay commissions, people keep turning him down. They say he must be absolutely painful to look at and that they'd never place an order with him. Yan Shanshan ends up fainting from hunger on the spot, and when he opens his eyes, he feels like he can see his great-grandma in the afterlife.

By the time Yan Shanshan finally receives a message from a client, he thinks he must be hallucinating.

Client A: “(Marathon entry form.JPG) Cosplay my fave and come in second.”

Client B: “(Swimming competition entry form.JPG) Cosplay my fave and take first place.”

Client C: “(Hurdles competition entry form.JPG) Cosplay my fave and come in first.”

Yan Shanshan looks at his short legs and a body that's never been in the water, rolls his eyes, assumes they're joking, and goes to block them.

But the clients respond fast:

“One million.”

“Twenty million.”

“Thirty million.”

“We'll cover training, meals, lodging, and the cosplay outfit. Sign the contract now, and we'll pay 50% upfront.”

Yan Shanshan: “!!?”

Yan Shanshan: “To be honest, what else do you need? Marathon, sprints, long-distance running, hurdles, swimming, basketball, soccer... I can't do any of it, but I can learn! Teach me, please!”

One day, gossip-loving onlookers open the trending page and stare in bewilderment at Yan Shanshan, keeping his composure in his cosplay outfit.

Onlookers: “Wait, what? How has a cosplayer become a fan favorite in both sports and anime circles while we weren't looking?”

Even more absurdly--

They search for more information and discover that this cosplayer competed in cosplay outfits in...

The marathon...

The sprint...

The long-distance race...

The basketball game...

The soccer game...

The swimming competition...

The onlookers stare at Yan Shanshan's first, second, third, fourth-place finishes... results that match the original story exactly...

Then they watch in shock as Yan Shanshan is interviewed on a livestream.

Yan Shanshan: “Huh? I have a partner!”

Yan Shanshan: “He's a rich, domineering CEO. He usually wears a black suit.”

During the ad break, the onlookers' eyes go wide. “He's this incredible and still has time to date? Wait, why does everyone else get 48 hours in a day while we only get 24?!”

Everyone is still stunned, completely unaware that Yan Shanshan, who just blinked his innocent eyes at the reporters, has suddenly been grabbed by the throat by a man who appeared out of nowhere.

Yan Shanshan looks at the main love interest, a rich, domineering CEO in a black suit, who checks every box.

Merch of his favorite domineering CEO husband is scattered all over the floor...

The tycoon casts a cold glance at the merch on the floor. “Between me and him, you chose to lie with him?”

Yan Shanshan: “I-I mean, what else could I do...?”

Tycoon: “...”
