[Dual male leads + green-haired assault player as the bottom x scheming manager/CEO as the top + secret crush + passionate esports]
Ji Han x Yan Yi
The rising-star team Flower Dream has three big championship talking points: First, their world champion is the coach. Second, the wildly popular green-and-pink-haired couple. Third, the team has a streamer rumored to be cheating.

“If we can’t find anyone later, we can just make do with each other. We’d be perfect together.”
On the phone he handed over, the supertopic was full of all kinds of fanfiction: exes chasing their lovers, running away while pregnant, bittersweet secret crushes, found-phone stories... The posts blossomed in every variety.
Ji Han read a comment saying, “The green-haired cool-guy assault player and the pink-haired sunny medic are the best couple to ship,” and quietly hit the dislike button.
He and Yan Le had even played their way to Diamond III back when their ship supertopic was at its peak.
Ji Han: “No. There’s someone I like.”
Yan Le: “Who?”
Ji Han glanced at him and said silently to himself, Your brother.
Later, the supertopic crowd switched to shipping them as brothers, while another supertopic for the green-haired pro player and the scheming livestream moderator quietly rose to prominence.
“Looks like nobody loves people who only know how to play games. Let’s just make do with each other.”
After his confession was rejected, Yan Le was heartbroken and wanted comfort.
Ji Han said, “I’m seeing someone.”
Yan Le pressed him for details, but got nothing.
Then one day, he walked in on his brother pinning Ji Han beneath him and kissing him passionately. Yan Le’s whole worldview collapsed.
His buddy had become his sister-in-law?
No way. Had he really just lost his doting biological older brother, and the older brother who topped the countless fanfics about him (crossed out), his younger brother?

Before he and Yan Yi got together, Ji Han once happened to see a fanfic about himself and Yan Le on Yan Yi’s phone.
He was shocked, confused, and couldn’t sleep all night.
“You’re not allowed to ship me with him.”
Yan Yi smiled and said nothing.
If Ji Han had scrolled further, he would have seen that it was a brotherly-bond fanfic.
It wasn’t until long after they got together that Ji Han learned the truth: all those brotherly-bond fics that had beaten every other genre were commissioned at great expense by Yan Yi and posted to the supertopic...

A video analyzing footage of Ji Han supposedly cheating spread rapidly across a major platform. Every timestamp was listed and dissected in detail, earning millions of likes.
A certain executive at Miaomeng wanted to capitalize on the buzz and ordered him to issue an apology, or they would ban his account and make him pay a huge penalty.
Ji Han simply posted an update.
[See you on the pro stage]
The comments were full of people laughing at his naivety. Cheating was the biggest taboo in gaming. What team would take on a cheater?
Ji Han paid them no mind. With just 3,450 yuan in his pocket, he boarded a train to the capital.
He had always dreamed of becoming a pro and winning the grand trophy.
He had attended trainee camps, worked as a practice partner and streamed. With no one to teach him, he played on the Asian servers by himself; with no coach, he recorded his games and reviewed them on his own.
How could he possibly give up?
Later, he really did make it onto the pro stage, becoming the world’s number-one player by points.
Highlights from match after match were compiled and spread across the platform, earning even more likes than the earlier cheat-analysis video.
Some people even edited the cheat-analysis video together with his first-person highlight footage.
Clutch 1v8s, instant headshots with an AWM, surviving on a sliver of health after landing and taking down the airport, wiping out a whole squad from a vehicle...
Review
It's pretty good so far, I'm looking forward to the next plot
So far, it's quite good. If the author keeps his writing skills online, I think it will be published. Can you give me a specially signed book then? [Thinking] [Shy]
I've just finished reading it. It's a highly recommended book. Although I think the protagonist's character is a bit awkward, it's still very delicious overall.
