Retired police officer Du Yufeng, whose game ID is “Cold Little Hands,” is a near-retiree whom time seems to be pushing toward a quiet old age. But after discovering Honor of Kings by chance, he forms a connection with the hero Daji. He meets the young and beautiful Lin Xing, whose game ID is “Little Star Won’t Eat Cilantro,” and the two begin an extraordinary romance.
At first, he knows nothing about the game and is so clumsy that he can’t even use his skills properly. His age and slow reactions make him a frequent target of teammates’ doubts and ridicule, but he refuses to give up. He overcomes stiff fingers and slower reflexes, spending day and night learning Daji’s combos, ambushes in the bushes, and prediction techniques. From a “newbie noob” who can’t even beat AI opponents to a “bush assassin” who can control the battlefield with precision and take enemies out with a single combo, he carves out an esports career and a romantic journey for himself through countless failures and fresh starts.
Along the way, his family fails to understand him, telling him he’s “too old to be wasting his time.” He also faces setbacks in competition, making nervous mistakes that plunge his team into difficulty. But Du Yufeng grits his teeth, studying tactics and drilling his controls. He not only becomes a “top-ranked Daji player” feared by opponents, but also reaches the threshold of the semi-professional scene at his age, earning the admiration of young players.
When he guides Daji across the Rift, using graceful movement and deadly crowd control to lead his team to victory, who would still call him “old man”? In the game, he is the dazzling “Cold Little Hands,” breaking the shackles of age with his passion and proving that as long as you love what you do, an esports dream in your golden years can still light up the Rift and create a passionate esports legend for older players! An elderly love story!
