After gender swapping, my best friend and I hardcore BL (Boys' Love) became top influencers.

A residential community on the weekend.

A girl with shoulder-length hair was sprawled on the sofa with her legs crossed, the faint blue light from her phone screen illuminating her face.

One by one, handsome men were traced by fingers; this one was a "Consort," that one was demoted to a "Consort"...

I categorized everything, and my favorites list grew rapidly; my typing speed was terrifying.

As a seasoned fan of good looks, Ling Tinglan's heart is like a durian, with every tip of it filled with people.

It's a pity that the short videos of these internet celebrities and handsome men are so homogenized these days.

Ling Tinglan curled her lips. It was another short video. The background music was still a random, overused DJ collage. In the video, a young man wearing a black work vest casually swayed to the music.

Wearing a mask, her face was completely obscured, and her timing was terrible. It was obvious she couldn't dance, but her physique was decent.

Not a second was worth wasting, she continued swiping down.

It's another dance routine with perfect timing, but this time it's performed by a girl who's undeniably beautiful. She completes six costume changes in fifteen seconds, showcasing stunning makeup and incredibly cool editing – it's frighteningly impressive.

Upon closer inspection: 107 likes, 5 comments.

—Wait a minute, something seems off?

Ling Tinglan moved her finger and swiped back to the previous video:

201 million likes, 5000 comments.

The scales of justice crumbled, and Ling Tinglan flew into a rage, "What the hell! This mere borderline guy dares to have so many likes, shares, and comments!"

"Apologize to that beautiful woman right now!"

Hearing the noise, Jiao Wangshu, who was watching a video with headphones on, looked up. "What's wrong? Why are you so angry?"

Ling Tinglan angrily displayed, "Look at this, is there any justice left in the world?"

"He's got the looks and the skills, yet a high-quality cross-dressing video like this can't compare to this guy just casually wiggling around on camera?"

Ling Tinglan counted on her fingers one by one, "Costume change, filming, editing... Just thinking about it makes you realize how much work was involved in making this video of the beautiful woman. Look how rolled up it is! The man's face wasn't even shown, yet the comments were full of praise."

"Who exactly is his target audience?!"

Jiao Wangshu couldn't help but roll her eyes at her, "It's you, isn't it? I wonder who's always glued to their phone."

Ling Tinglan was enraged and embarrassed. "Slander! Utter slander!"

"I have standards, you know! I don't just kiss any guy! If he were even remotely good-looking, he'd be posting eight hundred selfies a day! He'd be a disaster in real life!"

"And this guy still has 300,000 followers?!"

The cold, hard numbers stung Ling Tinglan's eyes.

"I want to be a man in my next life!"

Ling Tinglan made a outrageous statement: "Be a borderline male college student and enjoy a life of instant wealth!"

"Damn it! Who stole my carefree, enjoyable life?!"

Jiao Wangshu stroked her chin. "That's all you're good for. If I were a man, I would have gone straight into the sex industry. These days, there's no money to be made by skirting the law."

As she spoke, she turned the tablet in her hand around.

This is a low-budget short drama that is currently airing around mainland China. The scene on the screen is a climax, with the two male leads pouring out their hearts to each other in the rain. It's obvious that they don't have much acting experience, as they are crying their eyes out, their facial features are all over the place, and they look as if they have been squeezed by a door.

However, the next second, the two suddenly hugged each other without any frame, and their big mouths "slapped" together. Then the camera started to spiral around 360 degrees, giving this passionate kiss a full-range close-up.

The screen, which originally only had a few scattered comments, suddenly exploded:

【Ahhhhhh, I'm so happy!!!】

So sweet! They kissed in the very first episode! This small studio is really going all out!

[Leopard and Cat, please get married right now!]

……

The colorful barrage of comments immediately covered the screen completely, making it impossible to see even a single hair on the two male leads. But in any case, this is a good thing, at least we don't have to continue to have our eyes tortured by all sorts of images.

"have a look."

Jiao Wangshu tapped the screen lightly with her fingertips and said meaningfully, "Selling homoeroticism is the best cosmetic procedure for men."

"With just these two faces, if they hadn't chosen this path, they could have gone through eight hundred reworks and still not made it into the entertainment industry."

Ling Tinglan, an elderly man on the subway, looked at his phone and thought, "Seriously? Someone with that kind of appearance can actually act?"

"No wonder we fujoshi (female fans of male-male romance) eat poorly."

Jiao Wangshu cupped her face, her resentment evident in her expression. "Good-looking people are as rare as phoenix feathers, and good dramas are even rarer, like finding gold in shit."

"A never-ending second collaboration, a sister-in-law who's constantly making headlines, endless fan meetings, and countless V-brand endorsements... who even wants to watch a concert by someone who's terrible at both singing and dancing?"

Growing increasingly angry, Jiao Wangshu slammed her hand down:

"The key issue is their lack of professionalism. Anyone who doesn't engage in bromance should be sold off!!!"

This whole explanation left Ling Tinglan completely bewildered. This straight-laced woman, who had never been exposed to BL (Boys' Love) culture, couldn't help but ask a thought-provoking question:

"Can this really make money?"

Jiao Wangshu remained silent, only continuing to display the diagrams.

Tickets for a certain couple's fan meeting: ssvip 2888, svip 1888, vip 1288, regular ticket 888

黄牛报价：2888→7000 1888→5000 1288→3500 888→3000

……

"Money...so much money!"

Ling Tinglan's voice trembled with shock, "You can earn this much just by shaking hands, taking photos, singing songs, and talking?!"

"This isn't about making money standing up; it's about making others make money on their knees!"

Touching her still-trembling conscience, Ling Tinglan said with genuine envy, "If I could earn that kind of money, I could sell myself into oblivion!"

"You can still eat after being cut like that? I have to say you have amazing teeth..."

"How so?"

Jiao Wangshu said expressionlessly, "As long as it doesn't make you feel overwhelmed, you can take it however you like."

In short, remember one sentence—

Avoid showing genuine emotions.

Having roamed the sea of ​​decay for so many years, Jiao Wangshu's heart has long since hardened to the point of being as hard as a fish killed at RT-Mart for ten years.

You'd be better off believing she was Qin Shi Huang than believing in a yaoi fan.

"If only we were all men, we could easily find partners to sell together, and the profits would be plentiful!"

Looking into the other woman's bright eyes, Jiao Wangshu remained noncommittal. She knew her own sister's true nature perfectly well—"a yellow-skinned, cowardly woman"—she only dared to talk nonsense.

"Oh, right!"

Suddenly remembering something, Ling Tinglan mysteriously pulled a crystal-clear glass bottle from the cabinet next to her.

She proudly waved it around, "Ta-da! I found this in the supermarket's discount section yesterday. This huge bottle of fruit wine only cost four yuan!"

The joy of finding a bargain is that simple!

I must say, this bottle is quite pretty; it's crystal clear and covered with patterns.

Half a cup was poured into each of the two glasses, and the amber liquid swayed gently.

"I want to get rich!"

"I want to get rich quick!"

——"Cheers~"

The sweet taste masked the harshness of the alcohol, and before they knew it, the two of them had finished more than half a bottle.

Ling Tinglan's short, wispy hair fell across her forehead, her cheeks flushed, and her breath carried a sweet fragrance; Jiao Wangshu's glasses had long since slipped down to the tip of her nose, and now she could only squint and smile foolishly.

"Ah Ling, I can't take it anymore, my head is so dizzy..."

Jiao Wangshu propped her head up, her cheeks burning red, and her voice was sticky and slurred, like it was covered in rice cake.

As he spoke, his voice gradually weakened, and eventually it could no longer be heard.

"I told you you were useless, look at me..."

Ling Tinglan was still muttering, but unfortunately, she was the most stubborn person in her body right now. In the last second before she also lost consciousness, she seemed to vaguely hear a voice:

[Beep—Your wish has been fulfilled.]
