Rebellious, cocky ADC prodigy vs. sweet-natured data analyst

[Happy Ending + Both Leads Are Inexperienced + Tough Talk, Then Falling Hard + Modern City + Angsty Romance + Later Forced Love]

"You need another lifetime to beat me? Sorry, I predicted your prediction this game."

Shen Zhuochi is a genius ADC and the esports scene's undisputed "B-king," so cocky he makes people grind their teeth, yet too good to deny.

Then Chi Mu arrives as the team's new manager. She looks gentle and sweet, but her words hit like a critical strike: "You can't even remember when the enemy warded. What are you bragging about?"

RG is rocked.

Shen Zhuochi sneers. "What does a woman know about esports?"

Chi Mu fires back with a data report. "You've been ganked three times at 2:15. Is that what you call knowing the game?"

The whole team struggles to keep from laughing.

When the king of tough talk meets a tactical mastermind...

In a scrim, her Thresh hook saves the day. He types in all chat: "That play was worth fifty thousand in salary."

In a post-match interview, he declares, "I'm the ADC, she calls the shots. If you don't like it, deal with it."

Then match-fixing allegations break, and everyone waits to see Chi Mu become a laughingstock.

Shen Zhuochi corners her backstage. "Whoever did this to you, I'll make them disappear from esports."

Chi Mu raises an eyebrow. "And what do you want in return?"

The young man leans in and whispers in her ear. "Be my personal analyst... for life."

Chi Mu knows this love is a losing bet from the start. His family will never accept a "disgrace" burdened with debt like her, and she no longer dares to gamble on even the faintest hope.

"Chi Mu, this time, let me be the one to take the risk," he says. "I'll bet you'll believe that even a shark can run aground for someone."

In esports, the victor takes all, but when it comes to loving you, I'm willing to lose.
