I'm Done Playing, My Closet Just Moved!!!

[Fairy-Tale-Style Fluffy Romance! (I'll touch up the details when I have time after it's finished~)]

[Thanks for supporting the official release. The whole novel costs about as much as a soda (just kidding), so buy my little couple a drink =///=]

Shi Wu is a person whose job is being a horror game streamer, livestreaming playthroughs of all kinds of horror games.

Anyone who regularly streams horror games knows that you need a sense of humor to break the tension.

So, thanks to his unique variety-show charm, his voice that could make your ears swoon, and his interactions with the viewers in his chat, Shi Wu enjoyed a brief burst of popularity.

One day, while trying out a new game demo, he said in an unbearably smug tone, right beneath a screen full of exclamation marks, "I'm done. My closet moved."

[No, no, no! Streamer, your closet really did move! Ahhh!]

With a dismissive air, Shi Wu obligingly turned around and met the dark eyes of a spotless-looking young man perched on top of the closet.

The thing was... he was floating.

Shi Wu: "..."

I can't do this anymore.

--

They say that if a ghost raises a person, it can greatly improve the ghost's happiness in the afterlife.

But Wu Jiu was a reclusive ghost. To him, a ghost quietly minding his own business was already perfectly happy.

He moved back into the house he'd bought while alive and became a ghost living alone.

He just didn't know why his house had been rented out.

Wu Jiu was forced to have an incredibly noisy person as a roommate.

--

People shout and holler while playing games to make their streams more entertaining.

Then, without realizing it, they scare Wu Jiu when he floats past them.

As time went by, whenever the computer screen flickered and the keyboard clattered, Wu Jiu would sit on the closet behind him and quietly watch.

Like a pet owner keeping an eye on a cat, except the owner had a body and the ghost didn't.

Sometimes the person would crow proudly, "That was a clutch play! Haters, got anything to say?"

Other times, after getting pummeled by a monster until he was red-faced with rage, he'd switch screens and act like nothing had happened. "I just started streaming."

--

The ghost watched the person for a long time.

This person went home by himself when it rained and cooked for himself when he was hungry. Apart from being loud and having an unhealthy sleep schedule, he was practically...

Sitting on his favorite closet, the ghost thought for a long time before finally coming up with a phrase.

A dream lover.

Easygoing, easy to care for, and no headache.

He could raise him.

--

On the first day of officially raising him, the ghost planned to adjust the person's sleep schedule.

He sat on the closet, watching the person's back, but hadn't come up with a plan yet.

The person's gaze, however, traveled from the chaotic screen to him.

In an instant, the person went wide-eyed and stared blankly, as shocked as a cat hearing its owner speak cat language.

Wu Jiu thought it over and decided to leave his reclusive corner and say his first words to the person he was raising.

Something funny, like him... Leave a good impression...

"We can split the rent, thirty-seventy. You pay thirty, I pay seventy... Sound good?"

"..."

"Sure..."

[Sharp-tongued, swaggering game streamer seme x gentle, selectively soft-hearted reclusive ghost uke]

[A cute, cuddly story about a sweet little couple--]

[Ship: 1559, so you can leave the secret number: 155999 (applause!)]

Reader's Guide:

1. 15 (seme) is a game streamer. There are a few gaming scenes early on.

2. 15 is the sort of guy who's over twenty but still hasn't been beaten down by life. He usually acts carefree and teases 59. Most of the time, he's like an innocent high school boy, though sometimes he's shamelessly flirtatious in plain sight.

(A very wholesome seme.)

3. 59 (uke) isn't the airheaded, adorable type. He's more shy when talking to strangers. After getting close to 15 later on, he grows bolder. He's a ghost who grows and changes.

(An uke who can evolve.)

4. The couple are each other's one and only. They dote on each other, and there will be no pairing changes or reversals. They're both good boys (pokes fingers together).

They're both adorable little cuties qaq

5. That line is just a meme! They don't actually speak with a Henan accent in the story, ahhh! (crying cat face)

6. The seme and uke are very fond of each other. Even before they officially get together, they act like an ordinary couple. It's sweet everyday life, and they dote on each other!!!

(If you're extreme about this stuff, please skip it. Don't yell at me.

I'm already so obscure, so what's wrong with writing the soft, sweet little couple that an old person like me enjoys?

But if you really have to yell at me, that's fine too. I'm mature. I'll delete the comments myself /orz)

7. 59 is in denial. He clearly likes 15 a lot, but insists that 15 is only someone he's raising (he really loves him so much qaq ahhh).

8. If all goes well, the main story should be free while it's serializing?

(This is my first time trying this kind of story. I hope readers have fun. Flower petals~)

9. I made the cover myself. Please praise it.

(How about 99 compliments? Hahahaha)

Coming Soon

The Villain Has Broken the Plot Again Today

Jiang Zhou accidentally discovers that he's a character in a book.

Jiang Zhou: "Am I the male lead?"

The male lead is Lu Yu, a rising movie star. Jiang Zhou is the villain. Out of jealousy, he'll go head-to-head with Lu Yu on a dating reality show and eventually become universally hated online.

Jiang Zhou: "..."

What a load of nonsense.

-

Rising movie star Lu Yu joins a dating reality show as a trainee relationship commentator.

The day before he meets his fellow cast members, at the airport, he hears a clear, loud exclamation filled with teasing: [Well, well!]

The only person around is Jiang Zhou, whose expression suggests he's watching a show, as if nothing has anything to do with him, and who has not an ounce of courtesy.

Jiang Zhou walks past him with an icy expression.

Lu Yu hears another voice from Jiang Zhou: [He really is handsome. And he smells kind of nice.]

Lu Yu: "?"

A sudden flash of insight makes Lu Yu realize that what he's hearing is Jiang Zhou's inner voice.

--

The dating show is packed with scandalous contestants, and it will become a major part of Jiang Zhou's record of being hated across the internet.

To escape his ending, Jiang Zhou sets out to dismantle the plot, stirring things up and straying further and further from the original story.

And so the audience sees--

*

The domineering CEO who claims he fell in love with his girlfriend at first sight actually has a first love, and has found seven or eight lookalikes besides his current official girlfriend.

He publicly accuses Jiang Zhou of seducing his first love.

Lu Yu says coldly, "Say one more word and you can get lost."

Jiang Zhou puts on a serious face. "Miss Qin just needed my help."

But in his head, the scene is completely different: [One collaboration is enough to make you furious. Looks like you don't have much stamina. Thanks to Lu Yu for the cold-face reaction image. Oh, Lu Yu looks better when he smiles.]

Comments:

[Ahhh, he's protecting his wife! No, wait, Lu Yu, why are you secretly smiling?]

*

The influencer couple who sell themselves as totally transparent about their relationship have actually been secretly dating the boyfriend's junior schoolmate for a year and a half.

When he's exposed, he flies into a rage and attacks Jiang Zhou.

Lu Yu immediately pins him down, a vicious glint in his eyes. "What do you think you're doing?"

Jiang Zhou comes to his senses and leans against Lu Yu, looking pitiful. "I just accidentally told the truth. Why are you getting so worked up?"

But in his head: [Damn, Lu Yu's moves are amazing. So cool. He gets more handsome the longer I look. I like him, I like him.]

Comments:

[Lu Yu's ears are red again. His wife must be standing too close (doge).]

*

A second-tier singer who's given himself a new image as a reformed playboy discovers during a medical examination that he's related by blood to the "girlfriend" on the show.

As his reputation crumbles, he publicly claims that Lu Yu is kept by a sugar daddy.

Lu Yu doesn't say a word before Jiang Zhou hooks a finger under his chin and gives him a kiss, leaving him completely flustered.

Jiang Zhou says leisurely, "We're in a normal relationship. I'm not keeping him."

Lu Yu freezes, then smiles.

His inner voice is furious and embarrassed: [Lu Yu, what are you smiling at? Say something! You're so stupid. Are we dating or not?!]

Comments:

[? Wait, is the couple I ship actually real??]

--

[An original, floating entertainment-industry setting, not a traditional dating show]

[Cat-like uke and dog-like seme]

[Warm on the outside, cool on the inside, a seductive beauty uke & cool on the outside, warm on the inside, an innocent puppy seme]

Little Scene:

Lu Yu: I like you.

(Jiang Zhou, afraid of a plot punishment and staying silent): ...

Lu Yu: You like me too.

(Jiang Zhou, pleased that the male lead gets it): ...

Lu Yu: Let's get together.

Jiang Zhou: Okay!

Who cares about the punishment? I'm saying it today, and that's that.

Theme: Don't scare yourself for no reason.
