[Bad at the game but hopelessly addicted · sweet Esports romance · Lolita jungler x Northeastern Chinese support-dad · a power couple]
[Based on our true story, this is a record of all the sweet moments we’ve shared and how we helped each other fulfill our dream of going pro.]
My name is Nian Zhichu, a former pro jungler who retired because of a hand injury.
Now I’m a small-time streamer, broadcasting my awful plays on a Gold account every day. I’m especially good at spilling strawberry milk all over my keyboard.
Then one day, a Northeastern guy barged into my livestream carrying my diagnosis:
“Your hand shakes 37 times a minute? Perfect for stealing Dragons. Queue up with me and I’ll cure you.”
About us:
He’s a 187-centimeter-tall GTM champion support. I’m a 157-centimeter-tall, washed-up jungle star.
This isn’t a novel. It’s the romance we spent five years getting through together.
Our rank went from the Rift to the marriage registry.
If you’ve ever met someone on the Rift who changed your life,
used your clumsy understanding of the game to express your feelings,
and believed that while your reflexes may fade with age, love can break through any patch,
welcome to our jungle.
There are no perfect personas here.
Just:
a keyboard stained yellow with medicine,
a tactical pen made from an acupuncture needle,
and the miraculous love story of two noobs.
