Summary
Online Gaming Case: Spent 500 dollars to buy a ladyboy account, but it also comes with a husband?
Just logged in to the game and was immediately accused of owing a huge debt, am forced to sell myself and pretend to be an ideal couple with my “husband”.
This is the story of a little antelope who just escaped from a tiger’s den, only to accidentally enter the arms of a big-tail wolf ^^.
Case in Reality: The top was originally a simple heterosexual, but was forced to be gay with a bottom who had a boots fetish, after a series of confusing conversion journey, finally becoming an outstanding, cold-hearted, black-bellied sadist top, so this is actually an inspirational story of the growth of the top XD.
[This is a story where the bottom is aggressive, not a story where the MC is the top, the top is the master, not the main character, please be clear yo yo yo, giving me no choice but to add this into the case =,=]
LingYang : I only bought an account, why must it come along with a husband?
YeLang : You can also choose not to have the husband but the debt instead.
LingYang : Dear, can I don’t accept the gift?
YeLang : Sorry, this is a bundle, no returns allowed.
Lordly Heterosexual Top X Sunshine Bottom with Boots Fetish, Bottom Attacks Top
A group of college students' youthful online gaming adventures, loving and harmonious, a sweet story that cannot be abused even if you want to! 1V1, the ladyboy is necessary, the god is essential, the drama is compulsory, a love-triangle is mandatory, HE is obligatory!
[If anyone is worried about the mention of a love triangle in the summary, highlight this next part for a mild spoiler to clarify things: It's not a true love triangle, and there's no true second male lead. The main character just had feelings for someone in the past, and that person shows up during the novel. The story is still 1v1.]
"That’s right, LingYang was born gay. Not only was he purely gay, he was a bottom to the core." - The Antelope and Night Wolf
