The South Wind Blows on the North Star

[Esports + Childhood Friends + Rekindled Love + Sweet Romance + An Equally Matched Relationship] Gu Nanchu was naturally beautiful and came from a wealthy family. This accomplished returnee came back to China and joined the struggling HOPE team, pursuing her esports dream and keeping a promise. A prestigious family, a spoiled young master, an aloof beauty, an all-around genius: those were the labels people gave Pei Anchen. He was also a rare seven-time champion in the TPL development lane, a star player for DG, and known as Polaris, the North Star. The shy affection they felt as teenagers had become bold and uninhibited years later. When lovers reunite, there are always cracks left behind, but there had never been any cracks between them. When Pei Anchen won his eighth championship, he said, “I’ll retire once I’ve won my tenth title.” But after winning his ninth championship at the Winter Crown, he announced his retirement that very night. The internet was abuzz with speculation, and no one understood. Pei Anchen posted just one photo on social media. Among his nine championship rings, right in the middle, was a diamond ring. Like a little kid waiting for his parents to praise him for a good report card, he’d traded his achievements of the past few years for the person he loved. Gu Nanchu thought it was a great deal: ten fingers, nine championship rings, and one more ring on her left hand. She led Hope onto the stage to lift the trophy, basked in the golden rain, and witnessed a new generation of esports players rise. Hope’s five-man lineup came to a perfect end, and so did her career as a coach. Pei Anchen was there below the stage, with their Star, looking up at his Beibei. His love for her was written among the stars, carried by the north wind and scattered across the sky.
