Money Ready, What Time?

Song Tingyuan had just started college when his mother was suddenly diagnosed with a serious illness, requiring expensive surgery within a short timeframe. Desperate, he followed a friend's advice and joined a live-streaming company. His agent had a keen eye and immediately pinpointed his niche— Cross-dressing as a woman for suggestive content. As a rookie streamer, Song Tingyuan quickly gained fans thanks to his stunning looks. However, he didn’t quite master the art of "suggestive content," leaving his直播间 largely filled with wide-eyed students just like him. They’d rave about his beauty daily but never spent a dime—just there for the vibe. Just as he was growing frantic over the surgery fees, a low-level account named "Love-Seeking Rose" suddenly dropped into his stream and maxed out their spending limit overnight. From then on, Song Tingyuan’s life took a turn. He never lost another PK battle, sitting around chatting was enough to trigger endless gift showers, and some even accused him of staging it for clout. Staring at the staggering earnings in his account, a baffled Song Tingyuan nervously added his top patron as a friend. Song Tingyuan: "You’ve spent too much... bro, please spend responsibly." Love-Seeking Rose: "I *never* spend responsibly. I’ve topped up—when’s your next stream?" — As the second son of the Shao Group, Shao Zhiyan’s daily routine involved fending off hordes of gold-diggers while searching for true love in this shallow world. Then one day, while scrolling through short videos, he stumbled on a streamer doing a PK punishment. Under the moonlit sky, the tiny streamer was sprinting down the street, phone in hand, panting and yelling, “I’m a big dumb loser nobody loves!” The absurdly adorable look hit Shao Zhiyan right in the heart. His friends warned him not to fall for it, exposing how internet streamers have no real feelings—stop the gifts, and the "love" vanishes. Shao Zhiyan had an epiphany: *So if I keep gifting, he’ll keep liking me.*
