Wen Yulin is a stutterer. His parents never liked him much, and neither did his classmates once he started school. By the time he reached college, he still didn't have a single friend.
Luckily, his roommate was a good person who was willing to be his friend. Only later did Wen Yulin discover that his roommate was actually lusting after his body. So was he still a good person?
★ Coming soon: Pretty and Socially Anxious, Not Everyone's Least Favorite!
Lin Qingyin looks cold and intimidating because of his aloof personality, so people have labeled him "unapproachable and hard to get along with." Only he knows that he's just socially anxious.
But life is hard, so this little kitty has to perform for a living.
Recently, a new streamer joined Pink Peach Live. The newcomer's voice is lovely and their dancing is beautiful, yet they insist on wearing a cat costume. The cat is cute, sure, but netizens had some harsh takes:
"They must be really ugly, or why wouldn't they show their face?"
"Is this what an indescribable horror looks like?"
Just then, the Pink Peach platform decided to launch an animal-themed dating-show livestream and invited popular streamers to join. Lin Qingyin made the list after a vote.
The show's rules said that if you survived elimination in the first episode and continued on, you'd have to take off your disguise. Lin Qingyin planned to turn down the invitation.
But after an accident, he learned that he was just a character in a book, and that he was so disliked he'd be voted off in the very first episode. Lin Qingyin thought, Since I'm going to get voted off anyway, I might as well accept. A little money is better than nothing.
After joining the dating show, Lin Qingyin thought he'd just be going through the motions. Who knew he'd actually stay on? Bound by his contract, he had no choice but to take off his cat mask.
Without the mask, Lin Qingyin was so nervous he could barely breathe. His partner, Shen Nanyu, had an especially intimidating presence, and he was also the boss of Lin Qingyin's company. As a result, Lin Qingyin was so nervous around him every time that he couldn't get a word out.
In the end, Shen Nanyu finally lost patience and cornered him. "What, do you hate me that much?"
Lin Qingyin stammered, "I-I-I'm just s-so-socially anxious."
That's when netizens realized he was the legendary socially anxious person, and they flooded the comments:
"My darling is so cute, I'm smitten!"
"Whose gorgeous, adorable sweetheart is this?"
Not long afterward, Shen Nanyu suddenly posted on Weibo to claim him: "Lin Qingyin is mine. Please don't try to steal someone else's husband."
Netizens: "!"
★ Complete: The Hated Real Young Master Goes on a Dating Show, Phones It In, and Becomes a Sensation
Zhen Qianxing was sickly and despised by his parents from childhood. He later learned he wasn't their biological child. After his birth parents found him and brought him home, they still looked down on him and subjected him to all kinds of abuse.
His boyfriend was only pretending to care. The moment he learned Zhen Qianxing had no inheritance rights, he broke up with him.
After entering the entertainment industry, Zhen Qianxing was also falsely accused of acting like a diva and bullying his assistant. Everyone hated him, and no matter what he did, he couldn't change their prejudice against him.
Only after he died did he learn that he was a supporting character in a book, and that it was only natural for people not to like him. He came to terms with it, stopped demanding what he was never meant to have, and began living a happy, carefree life!
Even when he later joined a dating show, he just coasted. When the director told the guests to choose someone to date, he couldn't be bothered. He didn't expect another guest to opt out too, and the two of them were forced to pair up and go on a date.
The two kindred couch potatoes found an iced drink shop and sat there all day, leaving the director and netizens laughing in exasperation.
Their laid-back couple quickly trended online and became an overnight sensation. More and more people started following them, and netizens suddenly realized Zhen Qianxing wasn't as awful as the internet had made him out to be. He was not only well-mannered and knowledgeable, but also great at comebacks, and a talented actor to boot.
Zhen Qianxing grew more and more famous, landing plenty of roles and winning both Best Actor and Best Television Actor awards. The clothes he designed also became wildly popular.
Zhen Qianxing's birth parents and older brother cried and said, "We're sorry. We were wrong."
His ex-boyfriend regretted it just as much. With red eyes, he said, "Xingxing, let's get back together."
Then he saw a tall man holding Zhen Qianxing close. When the man turned around, he recognized him as his own aloof, heartless uncle, who never cared about anything.
P.S. The protagonist and his ex-boyfriend never even held hands. The answer is simple: that scumbag didn't deserve to!
