How Could I Not Make You Famous Now?

"Dinner's ready, Young Lady."

The housekeeper's reminder came from outside the room.

"I'll be there in a bit! Let me finish this first!" Li Qingwan shouted back without looking up.

She was a content creator on a small video site, usually making hand-drawn videos and edited livestream clips.

Right now, she was busy in front of her computer, trying to edit a recording from a streamer she had recently watched.

To be honest, whether making videos or editing livestream clips, Li Qingwan only did it as a hobby. She had never thought about making money from it.

She was a complete homebody. Aside from watching anime, she played games, only occasionally watching livestreams.

She was IG Awesome in Zhao Yu's livestream, a veteran League of Legends player and a longtime IG fan.

After IG won the championship, she had finally straightened her back as one of their "dog sons."

She had originally only watched A Shui and Rookie's streams, but both A Shui and Rookie happened to be taking a break that day, so she had stumbled into Zhao Yu's stream by accident.

In the end, she had been drawn in by Zhao Yu's brilliant move of inviting a Japanese girl to play with him.

As a seasoned anime fan, she could not help wanting to get close to Yuuka whenever she heard her voice. To make Zhao Yu keep Yuuka around, she had sent quite a few gifts.

Later, as Zhao Yu and Yuuka grew closer, Li Qingwan suddenly found herself shipping the two of them.

So, on her own initiative, she edited a livestream clip of Zhao Yu and Yuuka.

Unexpectedly, the clip had suddenly gone viral on the small video site, filling her with a sense of accomplishment.

"That song is so good... What was it called again?" Li Qingwan recalled the details of Zhao Yu's stream.

"He seemed to have searched for Fairy Tale Town? Could that be the title?"

That song did not exist in this world, so Li Qingwan naturally assumed Zhao Yu had accidentally searched for the wrong thing.

As she listened to Zhao Yu's voice from the recording, Li Qingwan began drawing with her tablet.

In the ACNG community, a MAD hand-drawn video referred to a fan work in which the creator used clips from ACGN works alongside music for a secondary creation, intended as a tribute to the original work.

It required the creator to use fan art they had drawn themselves and pair it with music for another round of creation.

Li Qingwan was fairly well-known among hand-drawn video creators. When she had first watched Zhao Yu's stream, she had felt that a meeting like Zhao Yu and Yuuka's was incredibly anime-like.

By today, she had more or less finished creating anime-style versions of Zhao Yu and Yuuka. Paired with the song Zhao Yu had sung on stream, she was certain it would be a perfect piece.

"Young Lady? Are you done yet?" the housekeeper called again.

Her father had specifically told the housekeeper to make sure she ate properly, so the housekeeper always came to urge her at the right time.

Li Qingwan frowned. She was overflowing with creative inspiration right now and did not really want to go downstairs to eat.

"Just leave the food outside my door. I'll bring it in and eat it later," Li Qingwan said.

"Alright. Make sure you eat, Young Lady," the housekeeper reminded her again.

"I know, Auntie Wang. Don't worry," Li Qingwan replied.

After hearing the housekeeper leave, Li Qingwan got busy again. Only after finishing the last piece of fan art did she stretch and head for the door.

After bringing the food into her room, Li Qingwan ate while thinking over the details of the hand-drawn video.

Yesterday, Zhao Yu had not played any games on stream. He had only chatted with Yuuka.

If she cut out the boring parts and paired it with audio from the previous stream, she could use the hand-drawn video to show the two going from their first meeting to becoming familiar with each other.

"I'm a genius!" Zhao Yu and Yuuka's anime-style images surfaced in her mind, and Li Qingwan could not help letting out a silly chuckle.

These two somehow felt even more shippable than some anime couples...

One was a talented Chinese streamer, while the other was a cute Japanese girl still in school. They had never met, yet fate had brought them together.

"Damn it! If they don't get together, they'll be letting me down!" Li Qingwan blurted out.

Logically speaking, a Young Lady like her should not have lacked suitors, but Li Qingwan was still single since birth.

It could not be helped. That was just how fangirls were. Real life was far too scary.

If she had not seen Zhao Yu and Yuuka, she might not have even believed love existed in real life.

In her eyes, those two would definitely end up together. They had already started flirting in a subtle way during their streams, so she did not mind giving them a little push.

Heh heh... Once this hand-drawn video was posted, when that guy started streaming later, she would send a few rockets and egg him on to watch the clip.

Once the mood was right, it would be impossible for the two of them not to get flirty... Thinking of that, Li Qingwan's lips could not stop curling upward.

"The hand-drawn video is basically done. Should I take a break and scroll through the Sound platform?"

After eating and drinking her fill, Li Qingwan lay on her bed without much desire to move. Zhao Yu's stream notification usually came around nine in the evening, and there was still some time before it began.

The editing and audio were done; she only needed to put them together, so she was not in a hurry. Lazily opening her phone, Li Qingwan began scrolling through the Sound platform.

This short-video app had exploded in popularity over the last two years, and she had keenly spotted the business opportunity in it.

She had even encouraged her father to invest in it, and the result had naturally been a huge profit.

Now, she was more or less a minor shareholder in the app, so she spent a little time each day scrolling through its videos.

Of course, this was absolutely not slacking off. Could a rich woman inspecting her own assets be called slacking off?

As her finger kept swiping across the screen, Li Qingwan was beginning to suffer from visual fatigue from all the short videos of people dancing to catchy, brainwashing BGM.

Just as she was about to exit, she suddenly came across a video of a boy standing by the sidewalk and playing guitar.

"A man chose to sing himself to attract passersby and bring customers to a street singer?"

Could he really sing better than a professional singer? Li Qingwan glanced at it and saw that it had hundreds of thousands of likes.

Interesting. With such high popularity, she might as well take a look...

She tapped the paused video again, and a melodious singing voice reached Li Qingwan's ears.

The voice was clean and clear, and the lyrics were deeply moving, but... why did it sound more and more familiar? Li Qingwan suddenly widened her eyes.

She quickly climbed out of bed and played the song she had just edited from Zhao Yu's stream.

Sure enough! It was exactly the same!

"Well, well... So he secretly went busking?" Li Qingwan immediately recognized who the singer was.

Zhao Yu had never shown his face on stream, but Li Qingwan was extremely familiar with his voice.

After carefully reading about what had happened in the video's comments, Li Qingwan became even more certain that she had not shipped the wrong couple.

Whether it was Yuuka or Zhao Yu, they were both rare kinds of people—excellent and of good character.

"Secretly doing good deeds behind his viewers' backs. How could I not make you famous now?" Li Qingwan smiled faintly, tapped into the comments, and began typing a reply.

"I found the singer. He streams on Certain Fish Live..."
