After My Online Crush Unmasked Me, the Cool Guy Stopped Being Straight

My new series, "The Villainous B-King Young Master Awakens," is now open for follows. Please add it to your collection!

Blurb:

Song Mianchi is an obscure member of an entertainment-industry boy band that hasn't debuted yet. A few months ago, he used his cousin's alternate account to date a guy online.

It started when he lost a game of Truth or Dare. His cousin posted a photo of his legs as a status update, and a guy commented, "Is this you?"

His cousin handed him the alternate account and said, "He's looking for you."

Song Mianchi didn't want to engage, but the guy immediately sent him money and said he wanted to date him, then kept asking to video chat or meet in person.

Since the account was a girl's, Song Mianchi assumed the guy was a creepy pervert with ulterior motives. He agreed with a cold laugh.

But after dating for a while, Song Mianchi realized the guy seemed to be serious.

Just as he came to his senses and decided to explain the truth and break up, he was told that his boy band would be making its debut.

Right before their debut, a bassist was parachuted into the band. Rumor had it the company had taken him on because of his powerful backers.

The bassist was named Ji Xiao. Cold, arrogant, and completely straight.

At their first meeting in the practice room, Song Mianchi, the band's lead vocalist and captain, reached out to greet him.

Ji Xiao frowned almost imperceptibly and shook his hand perfunctorily.

Song Mianchi glanced down and happened to notice a silver chain around Ji Xiao's wrist.

Huh? That looks familiar.

He took another look, and it felt like a lightning bolt had struck him, leaving him numb from head to toe.

The silver chain was identical to the one worn by his online boyfriend. It even had a few metal letters on it: the initials of his screen name.

Realizing he'd been dating the wrong person, Song Mianchi didn't dare admit he was a man. The moment he got home, he started looking for an excuse to break up.

Unfortunately, they trained together every day, sharing the same room. Song Mianchi and Ji Xiao saw each other constantly, making it impossible to keep his secret identity hidden.

One day, in a deserted corner, Ji Xiao, who had been dumped by being given the cold shoulder, pinned him against the wall. He held his phone up to Song Mianchi and sneered, "Is my girlfriend, the one with the username Mianmian Bing, you?"

...Help!

The next day, the trending searches exploded.

A not-so-composed, occasionally unserious protagonist x a straight, cool-guy love interest

Reader note: The love interest has a reason for asking to video chat and meet at the start. He's not a pervert.

My ongoing series, "The Villainous B-King Young Master Awakens"

Blurb:

Chi Xiao'ou is the eldest young master of the wealthy Chi family, a bold, swaggering playboy. One day, he suddenly awakens to his own consciousness and discovers he's the villainous cannon fodder in a novel.

In the original story, he torments the antagonist, mocks the male lead after his family falls into ruin, and tries to destroy the male lead's love interest when he can't have him.

In the end, the self-made male leads publicly make him eat crow. The antagonist, who also loves the male lead's love interest, drives him into bankruptcy, breaks his legs, and throws him into the sea to feed the sharks. A miserable end.

Chi Xiao'ou: ?

What the heck?

This rotten antagonist, isn't he just someone I like to add soot to his food, insult him, and stop him from getting close to the male lead's love interest?

Why does the antagonist have to feed me to sharks?

What did I do wrong?

-

Chi Xiao'ou awakens right as he's ordered a bunch of thugs to surround the antagonist.

The antagonist's usually cool, handsome face looks terribly gloomy just then, his dark eyes fixed on Chi Xiao'ou like a hawk's.

Looking at the antagonist, who is still penniless and can't even afford college tuition, Chi Xiao'ou shivers.

Joking is one thing, but don't joke around with your life.

Chi Xiao'ou puts on a disdainful face and waves his hand. "Look at the state of you. I'll cover your expenses from now on!"

Thinking about how his story ends, Chi Xiao'ou has no choice but to resort to this. He hopes the antagonist won't hold a grudge against him because he's funding him.

So Chi Xiao'ou spends a fortune on the antagonist and keeps drilling it into him: "You took my money, so I'm the boss. You have to listen to me, got it?"

The antagonist holds Chi Xiao'ou's calf and puts his shoe on for him, lowering his eyes to hide his expression. "Got it."

-

The young masters gossip that the young master of the Chi family has had a change of heart lately. Not only has he moved on and started keeping another man, he's also been heavily supporting the Gu family, whom he used to look down on. It's quite a sight.

Someone asks out of curiosity, "Young Master Chi, don't tell me you really like the guy you've got hidden away at home?"

Chi Xiao'ou raises his wineglass, his manner arrogant and carefree. "Him? As if he's good enough for me."

That night, Chi Xiao'ou is pinned firmly to the bed as the man leans down and asks, "Am I good enough for you?"

"Good enough my ass!" Chi Xiao'ou snaps, blushing. "I'm the boss!"

The man casually pats his butt. "Sure. Lift your butt a little higher, boss."

Chi Xiao'ou buries his face in the pillow. ...Oh, screw you.
