Streamer, but Coveted by a Supernatural Boss

1.

Si Jiang has a little secret: he doesn't belong in this world. He came here from the human world.

This parallel world is rather eerie. The girl knitting on the bus is actually knitting brains, and the people carrying umbrellas in the rain are holding up human bones...

His original self made a living as a suggestive livestreamer.

Si Jiang wasn't willing to do that, so he started telling ghost stories about what he saw on his channel. Overnight, all his followers left, and only one remained, a silent viewer who never sent him tips.

That viewer showed up every time he went live. Si Jiang figured it had to be a platform bot.

One day, he saw an ad on a street corner for a delivery job. The pay was astonishing.

The only catch was that all the delivery addresses were in the wealthiest, eeriest places.

Fortune favors the bold.

Without a second thought, Si Jiang forgot about livestreaming and became a delivery guy.

The sleep-aid streamer Li Suo followed wasn't streaming today.

He'd just finished recruiting the eerie beings in the area and become its boss. The stress had left him unable to sleep.

A few days earlier, he'd stumbled across a streamer who told cute little stories about everyday life.

The streamer's voice was lovely, and his stories were good, too. Li Suo always fell asleep after listening.

But today, the streamer never came online.

He waited two hours without seeing the streamer, but then the doorbell rang.

A familiar voice called out, "Hello, I've left your delivery outside the door."

Li Suo: !!!

His ASMR streamer had come right to his door.

Si Jiang got a call from a delivery customer asking why he hadn't brought the order inside.

Worried the customer might complain and get his pay docked, Si Jiang had no choice but to plead poverty. He said he worked seven jobs a day and had rushed off to make his next delivery, and asked the customer to forgive him.

The customer was reasonable enough not to file a complaint, and even gave him an extra tip.

A few days later, Si Jiang happened to open the livestreaming platform and found that his one and only follower had sent him a huge tip.

Si Jiang: !!!

And somehow, after that, he kept getting delivery orders to that customer's home every few days. The delivery fee was always enormous.

Si Jiang's top supporter came through for him, and his livestream suddenly went viral.

Si Jiang announced on stream that he'd decided to quit his other jobs and focus on being a streamer.

He thought his top supporter would be happy, but instead, the man fell silent.

Just then, Si Jiang got another delivery assignment, with a fee even higher than his tips on the stream.

The only requirement was that this time, he had to bring it inside.

Si Jiang immediately broke his promise, ended the stream, and went to make the delivery.

At last, the door that had never opened swung wide. Behind it stood a tall, handsome man dressed in finery.

But countless tentacles writhed beneath the hem of his suit.

The tentacles coiled around Si Jiang, binding every inch of his body and every gap between his fingers.

"I've figured it out," the eerie boss said.

"Instead of paying twice, once to tip you and once to hire you for deliveries, I should just pay once."

"From now on, you'll stream right by my ear."

A voice streamer who only has eyes for money, but doesn't realize it x a seemingly sinister, actually lovesick, jealous tentacled top

An urban setting with a touch of Lovecraftian horror, but the monsters are pretty cute (probably?).

The top is a sinister big shot, mean to everyone else, but when it comes to his own... his tentacles all love cuddles.

After a Down-and-Out Beauty Finds an Honest Straight Man to Be Her Daddy

A down-and-out, flirtatious beauty x an honest, straight office worker

In his second year of college, Song Shiting's parents' marriage fell apart. His cheating father gave all his money to a secret son no one had known about for eighteen years, leaving Song Shiting, an ignored college student, cut off from financial support.

Under pressure to make ends meet, he applied for a "high-paying, looks-based part-time job, 10 p.m. to 2 a.m."

On his first day, he was sent to deliver food to a private room. The room was bathed in colorful lights, and several mature men looked at Song Shiting, their expressions suggestive as he arrived with the food.

One of them beckoned him over. "Come sit on Uncle's lap."

Song Shiting obediently walked over, but someone stopped him along the way.

The man who stopped him spoke forcefully, and his actions were just as forceful.

"Mr. X, he's young. Let me have him, okay?"

Song Shiting glanced at the man who'd stopped him. It was Yan Zhuying, the older "other people's kid" who had lived next door to him years ago.

They hadn't seen each other in years, and now Yan was picking male escorts at a nightclub.

He sneered inwardly, but naturally sat on Yan's lap.

"Then you have to be nice to me, Big Brother."

Yan Zhuying had only recently become an office worker. The first time he went out to discuss business, his client took him somewhere less than respectable.

He was about to leave immediately when he saw who had walked through the door: the pampered, beautiful younger boy who had lived next door to him.

Afterward, he learned that the boy's family had fallen on hard times and he had to earn his own tuition and living expenses. He was filled with sympathy.

Not wanting the boy to go astray, he carefully calculated his salary and told Song Shiting he'd support him.

Song Shiting glanced at him, his eyes full of allure. "Really? Can you afford it?"

Yan Zhuying thought a college student couldn't cost that much. If other men could support him, then so could he.

He readily agreed, on the condition that Song Shiting focus on his studies and stop working.

Later, Yan Zhuying thought it over and still felt uneasy, so he rented a bigger place for them to share. He'd feel better with Song Shiting where he could keep an eye on him.

Later still, he handed over all his earnings for Song Shiting to manage, and even had to get his approval before buying anything.

Yan Zhuying rose steadily through the ranks. Everyone said he was hardworking and upright, and that he always went home right after work. He must have a wonderful spouse supporting him.

Only he knew he worked so hard because he had a younger brother at home who depended on him.

Whenever he wanted to take it easy, that person would whisper in his ear, "You have to keep working hard tomorrow and earn money to support me, okay?"

Yan Zhuying is straight.

When Song Shiting hooked his arm and leaned on his shoulder as they went out, called him over to warm up his bed, or kissed his cheek and thanked him, he never suspected a thing.

Until one day, Song Shiting came out of the bathroom in a steamy bathrobe and sat beside him. Yan Zhuying realized his whole body had grown hot and hard.
