Chen Qi rarely watched Douyin livestreams. Not just livestreams—even short videos on Douyin, he barely touched. Most of his time was spent on Bilibili.
He tapped on the livestream’s leaderboard. The top contributor was a level 67 account.
The username was “Brother Long from the Streets.”
A level 67 account… pretty impressive. That meant he had spent at least 5.5 million yuan on Douyin livestreams.
However, how much he had spent specifically on Sun Yiyao couldn’t be seen. Only the streamer herself had access to that data.
Chen Qi wiped his still-damp hands, then began recharging his Douyin account.
He planned to top up 1 million yuan, but there was a limit, so he had to split it into two transactions.

A red scrolling banner flashed across Sun Yiyao’s livestream. Other ongoing livestreams also saw the Carnival notification.
But a single Carnival wasn’t anything special—it was only 3,000 yuan. There were plenty of wealthy people online.
“Oh ho, streamer, a big spender just entered your room.”
“That’s what you call a big spender. If Yaoyao relied on freeloaders like us, she’d probably starve.”
“Even if you starve, she won’t. You think the top donor is useless?”
“Comparing people really makes you mad. That one gift equals my monthly salary.”
Sun Yiyao covered her chest slightly and leaned closer to the screen to check the ID of the sender.
Then, in a soft, syrupy voice, she read it aloud, “Thank you, Brother Shao, for the Carnival. Should I call you Brother Shao, or Brother Duck?”
Chen Qi didn’t reply. He was busy sending the second Carnival. It was his first time gifting on Douyin, so he wasn’t very skilled yet, and his hand speed wasn’t fast enough.
A few seconds later, the second Carnival was sent.

“Streamer, the big brother already sent two Carnivals. Hurry up and dance something hot again.”
“Hey, did you notice? When Brother Roast Duck first entered, he was a level 1 account.”
“I saw that too. Now he’s already level 29—just from two Carnivals.”
“Brother Shao, are you there? What would you like Yaoyao to dance?”
When Chen Qi entered the livestream, the “Puppet” dance was almost finished, so he hadn’t really seen much of it.
“Dance ‘Puppet’ again.”
“Okay~”
Sun Yiyao was already alluring by appearance, and with her Korean girl group-style dance, it was truly captivating.
“Brother Roast Duck has good taste.”
“Same taste as Korean chaebol heirs—definitely not an ordinary person.”
Sun Yiyao played the music and danced while thinking to herself, This person should just be a random viewer. The agency didn’t mention any arranged promotion tonight.
Chen Qi rarely watched dance streamers before. He usually watched Oded Biao on Bilibili. But after watching more streamers these past few days, none danced as well as Sun Yiyao.

Another one. Sun Yiyao danced even more energetically.
×4, ×5, ×6… all the way up to 60 Carnivals before the barrage finally stopped.
But the comment section exploded.
“Less than two minutes, 60 Carnivals—that’s 180,000 yuan!”
“Brother Roast Duck, stop it. Don’t burn anymore.”
“You just burned my annual salary in two minutes.”
“That’s two years’ salary for me.”
“Why isn’t Brother Roast Duck saying anything? Could this be money laundering?”
“Agency account?”
“Have you ever seen an agency account with zero followers and zero following?”
Someone clicked his profile—indeed, all zeros. Agency accounts would never look like that.
“Definitely a low-key big shot, just casually throwing money around.”
At that moment, Chen Qi tossed his phone onto the bed and went to dry his hair.
A few minutes later, when he returned, he found that he had already reached fifth place on the leaderboard.
“Only 180,000 yuan to reach fifth? Her fans aren’t very strong.”
“Brother Roast Duck set his account to private. Can’t even follow him.”
“The more mysterious he is, the more curious people get.”
“Could this be some kind of marketing strategy?”
Sun Yiyao had already finished dancing and was waiting for Chen Qi to speak.
“Brother Shao, are you not here? I sent you a private message—did you see it?”
“Brother Shao, what would you like to watch next?”
Chen Qi hadn’t noticed the private messages. He typed in the comments, “Do you know AOA’s ‘Catwalk’?”
“Thanks to Brother Roast Duck for letting us enjoy this.”
“Brother Roast Duck really loves Korean girl groups.”
“He’s really burning money hard.”
When Sun Yiyao saw him appear, her face immediately lit up with a bright smile. “If it’s something Brother Shao requests, even if I don’t know it, I’ll learn it. I’ll go change my outfit.”
At that moment, the top donor “Brother Long from the Streets” entered the livestream. He had seen the scrolling banner in another streamer’s room and came over after noticing someone was splurging here.
“Bro, you’ve got quite the money,” Brother Long typed.
“The top donor is here.”
“Brother Long’s here.”
“That sounds a bit hostile.”
Some viewers stirred the pot.
“Brother Long, Brother Roast Duck already spent 180,000 yuan in two minutes. Give it a few more minutes, and you might lose your top spot.”
Chen Qi was still sending gifts, making the viewers restless.
“Wait, Brother Shao, the streamer hasn’t even come back yet. Why are you still gifting?”
“Big shot, are your fingers tired? Let me help you spend.”
“Damn it, why am I not rich? I also want to throw money like this.”
“Bro, even if you’re rich, this isn’t how you spend it. You won’t get what you want here. Might as well switch to another streamer,” Brother Long typed again.
His words confused some viewers, but many understood the implication.
“No way… the streamer didn’t even comply with the top donor?”
“No wonder Brother Long hasn’t been gifting recently.”
“I’m just here to watch the dance,” Chen Qi replied.
Seeing Brother Long’s words, Chen Qi finally understood why Sun Yiyao had only been in two relationships.
She really sold her talent, not herself. Brother Long must have been rejected—that’s why he was saying those things in the comments.
Sun Yiyao returned after changing outfits. This cat-girl leather outfit was both sexy and cute.
The comment section went wild again.
“Streamer, tissues are ready.”
“I’m done.”
“What the hell, you’re done before it even started? Get that checked.”
Seeing the nonstop Carnivals flooding the screen, Sun Yiyao was shocked. She quickly used another phone to message her agency.
The agency replied immediately—it wasn’t arranged by them. Just a low-key rich passerby.
Chen Qi still hadn’t replied to her earlier private message, so she sent another one.
“Thank you, Brother Shao, for the 75 Carnivals~”
“Brother Shao, I’ll perform ‘Catwalk’ next.”
Chen Qi’s Carnival banners were now appearing across other livestreams, drawing in curious viewers.
Sun Yiyao’s viewer count surged from 8,000 to 250,000, and it was still climbing.
“I came here after hearing about it. Damn, this streamer looks amazing.”
“High-tier succubus.”
Brother Long typed again, “Can’t you understand what I’m saying?”
Some viewers thought he was about to start gifting to defend his top spot.
But before he could act, the third-ranked user “Got Your Monkey” entered the livestream.
“So lively here.”
Right after he sent that message, viewers noticed that his third-place ranking had disappeared.
