Mao Youyou is known as a beautiful coser, beloved by many in the cosplay community.
She became famous for her impressive cosplay photos, captivating livestream sessions, and her approachable, friendly nature. Mao Youyou always presented herself as an optimistic and cheerful girl, passionate about creating beautiful, creative moments that entertained viewers and helped them forget the worries of daily life.
However, behind her beautiful and cheerful exterior, she struggled with financial difficulties that no one knew about.
Accordingly, she rented a small, lovely room in the city, convenient for her work. However, the monthly rent became a heavy burden on her shoulders. Under the constant pressure from her landlord, she was filled with helplessness and fear.
Few people knew that to maintain her life and her beloved cosplay hobby, Mao Youyou worked very hard. She juggled multiple part-time jobs. At conventions, she even helped out with various odd jobs to earn a little extra money. However, these efforts were trivial compared to the heavy pressures of life.
Despite being well-known, the actual income of the female coser was not stable. She had few advertising collaboration opportunities, and her income was meager and unpredictable. Not to mention, to complete a high-quality cosplay work, she needed to invest a lot of money in costumes, props, and cosmetics, which further worsened her already tight financial situation.
The ongoing economic pressure and an unsatisfactory life gradually made her feel disheartened and lose some interest in cosplay, which she once loved. Over time, these negative feelings became more severe, and she began to suffer from insomnia, racing thoughts, and loss of appetite. After realizing that her mental state was problematic, the coser decided to seek medical help.
However, scheduling an appointment with a doctor was not smooth. Public hospitals had long waiting lists, and private facilities were too expensive for her. In a livestream, she revealed her despair to her fans. She spoke in a seemingly casual tone: “I feel like I can’t take it anymore” and “Life seems hopeless.” However, many fans thought she was just joking.
She shared her financial difficulties in her interactions with fans, but no one thought that could lead to such a tragic outcome. In the end, she couldn’t overcome her sorrow and chose to leave this world forever at the age of 24, leaving behind endless regrets and deep longing from everyone who cared about her.
