Also known as: I sabotaged my own idol and got killed by him in person? (The Blazing Sun and the Star)
Three years ago, the team's main player, Ruan Feng, vanished completely after a national tournament. Widely regarded as the most promising contender for the world esports championship, she was said by her RU teammates to have gone into seclusion to hone her skills, with no return date set.
Just as everyone was beginning to think that no player from this great nation could ever compete with her again, the team's backup player, Zhan Xing, burst onto the scene. He had both star power and skill, but his explosive popularity also drew plenty of doubters. Whether he could live up to expectations remained to be seen...
Then a woman named Jiao Yang appeared at his side. Her features bore a striking resemblance to Ruan Feng's, and though Zhan Xing recommended her as a backup defensive player, her gameplay was a complete mess.
Over time, Zhan Xing realized he had developed feelings for Jiao Yang, who had made her feelings for him clear from the very beginning.
She loved him.
He knew he shouldn't give in, but he still couldn't resist this little bit of tenderness.
“You gave me a sky full of stars, so I'll repay you with the blazing warmth of the sun.”
“You're more than my star. You're the one I love.”
“You are the blazing sun, the golden light, the treasure Heaven bestowed upon me.”
