My bestie and I transmigrated into a showbiz romance novel. In the esports reality show, she was the muscle, and I was the mouth. When she beat the "pick-me" girl into a 0-12 score, I rushed over to land the final blow: "Babe, why is your screen black? Did you forget to turn on your phone?" When the Movie Emperor fed the enemy team and dragged us down, I threw some shade: "Bro, you're amazing! You carried the entire enemy team to victory!" The live chat flamed me: [Lu Manman is such a bitch.] I smiled sweetly: "Thanks, but I’m not taking disciples." That night, the top idol’s interview trended: "Today, I’m kinda into girls who can roast people." I posted immediately: [Not interested. Stop clout chasing.] 1 My best friend and I are esports streamers. She has the skills; I have the trash talk. When we duo-queue in Honor of Kings, our viewer count hits the millions. Just as our careers were skyrocketing, we both transmigrated into a book. It was a sweet showbiz romance novel. She became the innocent white lotus who couldn't speak up for herself, and I became her weak, pushover best friend. The original owner quit and left us everything she had, with only one request—help them vent their anger. Looking at the bank account balance, I laughed. We’re Honor of Kings players who passed the trash-talking proficiency test with flying colors. This request? Easy money. Just as I met up with Wendy, we both got calls. Our agent informed us we had to participate in an esports reality show tomorrow. We looked at each other and read the same thought in each other's eyes—nailed it. 2 Early the next morning. I walked in wearing tight hot pants, a black T-shirt, and a sleek high ponytail. Wendy followed behind me, dressed exactly the same. Next up were the Movie Emperor, Shawn Zephyr; the top idol, Jace Chi; and the popular starlet, Ye Yuyan. Shawn had long legs, a white shirt, black dress pants, and gold-rimmed glasses. Standard CEO attire. He looked less like he was here to game and more like he was here to hold a board meeting. Ye Yuyan had long, straight black hair, sweet bangs, and a fluffy cupcake dress. Cute and obedient. In contrast, Jace dressed simply. All black, no flashy accessories. It perfectly focused all attention on his face, making him look exceptionally striking. These three were incredibly popular, and the live chat was scrolling like crazy. [Hubby is so handsome!] [Yuyan wifey kiss kiss!] Occasionally, a few comments about us flashed by. [Yo, the loser duo is here for a team building?] [Only play mid and support, and they suck at it. Whoever gets stuck with them is doomed.] [Please don't let these two ruin my Shawn. (Praying hands) (Praying hands)] Maybe that netizen’s mouth was blessed. In the subsequent team selection, Shawn and Jace, as captains, drew lots to determine their teammates. Shawn casually pulled out two slips of paper. They bore two neatly written names—Lu Manman, Wendy. So the final teams were—Jace, Ye Yuyan, and three pro players on one team. Me, Wendy, Shawn, and two other pro players on the other. Now the chat really exploded. Everyone was feeling sorry for Shawn. [Missing a pro player is bad enough, but getting two deadweights? Unfair!] [The skill gap is huge. What's the point of playing?] [It's a friendly match, no need to be so serious.] [This is like Peppa Pig vs. Wolverine.] The chat was filled with negativity, so I had to step up and comfort them: "Don't worry, Wendy and I have a combo move." Then I pinched Wendy, hinting she should say something to stabilize morale. She glanced at the camera and said coolly: "Relax." "..." I sighed. Wendy is really cold, but even though she usually spits out words one by one, she can still make me cough up blood from anger. This is why our duo streams blew up. I, who roast everyone under the sun, only eat humble pie in front of her. "It really is a bit unfair." Ye Yuyan pouted and looked at the host: "Is there no chance to swap teammates?" The host looked at the director: "Each captain has the right to swap a teammate once." "Yay!" She jumped up happily, her pretty skirt swaying: "Then I want to swap Shawn gege over." The host quickly added: "This right can only be exercised by the captain, and you can only choose teammates, not captains." "Oh..." Ye Yuyan pouted again: "My heart aches for you, Shawn gege." "So fake," I muttered in Wendy's ear. She gave me a bland look: "You're faker than her." "Of course." I smirked: "If I jumped into West Lake, all of Hangzhou would be drinking Longjing tea." The host considerately asked: "So, Mr. Shen, as captain, do you need to swap teammates?" My heart tightened. I knew he wouldn't swap Wendy, but he might swap me. After all, Shawn is the male lead, Wendy's official boyfriend. They liked each other, but because Ye Yuyan kept interfering, creating fake ambiguous situations with Shawn, they broke up and got back together multiple times before finally reaching their Happy Ending. Just as I thought this, I met Shawn's gaze directly. Uh oh, doomed. He opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly a soft voice floated from the side: "No." He froze, looking at Wendy with some surprise. She rarely expressed her opinion so firmly. "Whatever." "I'll listen to you." "I like what you like." "Okay." These were her usual sentences. Right now, Wendy was looking lazily ahead, her expression so indifferent it was as if she hadn't spoken at all. But somehow, it was unquestionable. Shawn looked away: "It's fine, no need to swap." And Jace, having the advantage, naturally wouldn't pick us two noobs. The team rosters were set. 3 Teams decided, the game was about to start. We all sat in our gaming chairs, opened the game, and connected our phones to the big screen. Wendy was about to plug in the cable when she froze. I plugged in my screen casting cable, opened the game, and turned to see Wendy's hesitation. "What's wrong?" She paused: "Not enough Arcana." "Huh?" I quickly checked my account. Good god. Full skins. Only played about a hundred games, highest rank Gold, level 50 Arcana. Wendy was slightly better. Platinum, level 80 Arcana. I quickly yanked out the screen casting cable. We were already getting flamed hard enough; if they saw this, the internet would explode. Shawn saw our guilty expressions and leaned over to look at Wendy's screen. He was quiet for a few seconds, then somewhat annoyed: "Didn't you know there was a match today? Why didn't you borrow an account beforehand?" Wendy ignored him. She never bothered with such superfluous nonsense. "I have a smurf account. Only one or two province badges, but it'll do." Wow... the flexing. Doesn't his main account only have province badges too? It's just a difference of quantity. Wendy didn't reply, just glanced up at me. Shawn thought for a moment: "Yuyan's smurf is the same rank as me. I'll ask her to lend it to you." "Oh?" I smelled an affair: "Her smurf is the same rank as you, and you know it so clearly? Did you two duo-queue behind my Wendy's back?" Shawn froze, his expression unnatural for a split second. "Sigh." I looked at Wendy with heartache: "Poor Wendy, your official girlfriend, yet her profile only has a Platinum badge. Hasn't even reached King." Shawn realized something was wrong: "She said she wanted a province badge, so I helped her get one." ... I want three hundred billion too, why didn't you conveniently get that for me? "As a brother, I just satisfied her small request. Normal interaction between siblings, Wendy wouldn't be jealous." Siblings? I laughed. They aren't related at all, no blood ties whatsoever. These two play word games, using the "siblings" banner to play all sorts of ambiguous games right under the female lead's nose. Even if the female lead feels uncomfortable, she gets shut down by a self-righteous "You're even jealous of my sister?" "Shawn gege~" I pinched my voice: "Did you go to middle school?" He frowned at my disgusting "gege" and answered patiently: "Of course, I graduated with a bachelor's degree." "Oh, I thought you never went to school. Otherwise, why are you still playing the 'god-sibling' game that people stop playing in middle school, even after graduating college?" "Also." I rested my chin on my hand, blinking my big, sparkly eyes at him: "Brother, if you lack family love so much, have you considered live-streaming sales?" Shawn took two seconds to react: "Lu Manman!" With millions of fans, people usually call him "Mr. Shen" or "Hubby." Wherever he goes, he's the center of attention. He's never been treated like this. Shawn was anxious. "I advise you not to sow discord here. Wendy isn't dirty-minded like you. I know she trusts me unconditionally. This is the basic trust between a couple." He sneered: "Of course, it's normal for someone like you not to know that." He spoke excitedly, and I acted scared. For every sentence he said, I shrank back a little. By the time he finished, big tears were rolling down my cheeks: "Shawn gege, you misunderstood. I just thought you lacked family care and sincerely gave you a suggestion." I hid behind Wendy, showing only a pair of teary eyes: "Don't be like this, I... I'm scared." At some point, the thousand-person venue had gone silent. We weren't wearing headsets, so apart from those nearby, no one knew what was happening. The director quietly cut to a close-up of us. The chat had already gone crazy. [What's wrong with Shawn? Suddenly red in the face and neck.] [Oh my god, Manman crying breaks my heart. Who bullied my Manman!] [Shawn seems to be arguing with Lu Manman.] [Probably because Lu Manman's account only has level 50 Arcana. She seemed to just realize it too, I saw her panic and switch screens.] [Huh? He scolded her to tears just because her Arcana level isn't high enough?] [This isn't a professional esports match, just a friendly game. Is Shen necessary? Being a Movie Emperor makes you amazing?] [He's so fierce. If he's this excessive on live stream, does he hit people in private? Holy super-male syndrome Movie Emperor.] [This kind of person has female fans?] [As long as he's handsome, even guys in jail for assaulting women have female fans, let alone him.] [Don't talk nonsense if you don't know the truth!] Seeing the chat getting louder, the host quickly came over to ask: "Manman, why are you crying?" I gently touched my cheek, wiping away tears, and lowered my eyes: "Nothing, I just didn't prepare well, afraid of dragging my teammates down." Then I looked at Shawn fearfully and added: "It has nothing to do with Mr. Shen." Offstage, Shawn's agent was going crazy, winking at him desperately. Shawn only glanced at the chat and took a slight deep breath. In the blink of an eye, his face was full of tenderness: "It's okay, Manman's game account has low Arcana levels, she was afraid of dragging us down so she kept crying." "I told her it's just a friendly match, it's fine." He turned and handed his phone over, his tone gentle: "Here, don't cry, use mine." I looked up, and just behind Shawn on the big screen, a bold red comment floated by. [I've watched all of Shawn Zephyr's TV shows, and I can say that just now was his best acting performance.] I quickly lowered my head, afraid I would laugh out loud. Seeing I had performed enough, Wendy stood up and said coolly: "Thank you, Mr. Shen, but no need." Such a distant address made Shawn pause. He wanted to say something, but with the host present, he shut up. "Use mine." I turned around and met Jace's playful gaze. "Full Arcana, full skins." He looked up at Shawn: "And a Grandmaster badge." He wasn't sitting far away, so he had watched the whole drama from beginning to end. But I didn't mind being seen by him. Because he's the villain in this book, dedicated to causing trouble for the protagonists and inadvertently helping their romance. In other words, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. "No need." Wendy refused flatly: "I've solved it." She casually charged a few thousand bucks into the game and successfully got full Arcana. "Spending a certain amount of coupons weekly grants an Arcana trial weekly card," she explained. "..." Everyone was quiet for a few seconds, a bit helpless. "It seems our Wendy did her homework best," the host smiled, smoothing things over. I silently lowered my head and charged money: "Money talks." After charging, I gifted all the intimacy items I bought to Wendy, and changed my name by the way. Lu the Roaster, officially online! 4 It was time for the match to start. But Ye Yuyan claimed she needed to go to the restroom to touch up her makeup. Not only did she miss a big scene, she still hadn't come back. Shawn's phone kept vibrating, but his mind was on Wendy right now. He just frowned at his phone and ignored it. I thought for a moment, then grabbed Wendy's arm and stood up: "I want to go touch up too, come with me." Sure enough, not long after we walked out arm in arm, Shawn followed. He blocked Wendy: "Are you angry?" Wendy remained indifferent: "No." "Because of Ye Yuyan? I told you, she's my sister, why don't you understand?" "No." "You used to be very reasonable, what's wrong with you today?" Shawn paused, looking at me with disgust: "Is it because of her?" "You usually pretend to be honest, but you sow discord behind my back a lot, don't you?" "I haven't." I looked innocent, holding up four fingers: "I swear." I usually sow discord right to his face. "I'm going to the restroom, you guys talk." I winked at Wendy: "Don't wait for me." With a turn, I hid in the restroom. The corridor went quiet, only Wendy's cold voice reached my ears. "I don't allow you to speak to Manman with that attitude." Shawn couldn't believe it: "You're actually siding with her?" "She's my friend." "Think clearly, who is the person who will be with you for a lifetime?" Wendy's voice held no hesitation: "Of course it's her." "Shawn gege." Crisp high heel sounds approached, Ye Yuyan's voice sweet: "Sister-in-law, so you guys even go to the restroom together usually, so loving." She sighed lightly: "If only I had a boyfriend like that." Wendy smiled: "Take him, he's yours." Then came the sound of Wendy walking away. I hid in the restroom, silently turning on my phone camera. "Gege, is sister-in-law mad at me?" Ye Yuyan looked innocent. "Yes." Shawn leaned against the wall, pinching his brow wearily: "She probably thinks I'm too close to you and got jealous." "What is she blindly jealous for?" Ye Yuyan shook Shawn's arm: "We're siblings." Shawn was silent for a few seconds: "Not by blood, after all." "So what? Our relationship is clearly better than real siblings." "She wouldn't understand." "Jealous, huh?" Ye Yuyan suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed him hard on the cheek. Shawn froze: "What are you doing?" "Can't I kiss my brother to make him happy?" She simply wrapped her arms around Shawn's neck and kissed his face endlessly. "Hmph, I'll let her be jealous enough!" Shawn chuckled helplessly, grabbing her waist with both hands: "Stop it." "I want to!" Ye Yuyan said as she moved in to kiss him. But very "coincidentally," she kissed Shawn on the lips. Both froze, the atmosphere becoming ambiguous. Ye Yuyan closed her eyes, tentatively biting Shawn's lip. The kiss lasted a few seconds. Shawn, as if his conscience finally awoke, pinned Ye Yuyan against the wall, pinching her waist fiercely, his eyes filled with undisguised lust. "Ye Yuyan, don't force me to do things I shouldn't." After a while, Shawn straightened his clothes: "Don't do this again." Then he walked back as if nothing happened. This is the male lead, the gun goes off, but he always stops the fire in time. Ye Yuyan smirked, walking towards the restroom satisfied. I put away my phone, feeling a wave of nausea. The poor original owner, who knows how long she was bullied by them like this. "Oh, Manman jie." Ye Yuyan walked over leisurely: "Look at my new lipstick, does it look good?" Her lips were still moist, the signs of intimacy obvious. She looked at me, smiling triumphantly: "I bet sister-in-law will definitely like it." I frowned: "Forget it, this shade looks smelly." "Heh." She sneered. I stepped forward and put my arm around her shoulder: "Babe, are we good friends?" Ye Yuyan frowned, but couldn't dodge my hand. "I... guess..." "Then do you have any gossip to share with me?" "No." She looked impatient: "I'm not a gossip." "Really?" I blinked at her reflection in the mirror: "I wanted to share some gossip I just learned with you." I lowered my voice: "About Movie Emperor Shawn Zephyr." She finally got interested: "Oh? What?" I raised an eyebrow: "So are you a gossip?" She choked. I didn't mind, continuing: "It's said that Shawn, he has a foot fetish!" "Foot fetish?" Ye Yuyan thought for a moment, looking down at her open-toed heels with satisfaction. "Yeah, my Wendy told me." I acted serious: "Don't look at how serious he seems on the surface, in private he holds my Wendy's feet and licks them endlessly." Her face went pale instantly. "Just before the recording today, Shawn specifically came to my house to find Wendy, and made me go out alone to wait for them. "I peeked at the surveillance camera, guess what." Ye Yuyan's expression was complicated: "What did you see?" "I saw him kneeling on the ground like a dog licking my Wendy's feet! "Tsk tsk tsk." I shook my head repeatedly: "My Wendy has athlete's foot, how could he put his mouth on that? "Hey, by the way, do you think athlete's foot is contagious to the mouth?" "Ugh." Ye Yuyan covered her mouth, face pale: "I don't feel well, excuse me." Probably went to find mouthwash. I clapped my hands, leisurely watching her rush out. Mm, if she's uncomfortable, I'm comfortable.
