Lin Zhixia, the top student in her grade, is such a complete beginner that even her best friend registered her game account for her. She only gets dragged into the game because her friend needs a teammate for ranked matches. From the start, she fumbles through the game, accidentally steals the red and blue buffs from Lu Yan, the jungle king, and wastes all her skills on thin air, making the widely acclaimed “jungle god” lose his temper on voice chat for once.
After that, Lin Zhixia’s daily life in the game becomes a “mutual torture session” with Lu Yan. She always manages to feed the enemy just as he starts a dragon, while he complains that she’s “so bad it’s almost refreshing” but can’t stop himself from abandoning a nearly secured victory to turn back and save her when she’s being chased. Determined not to hold him back, Lin Zhixia secretly looks up guides and takes notes, even writing game tips like “steps to solve a problem.” Lu Yan, meanwhile, discovers that this top student, who even calculates when to land the last hit on a minion, is unexpectedly adorable when she’s focused.
From “rivals” in the game to chance encounters in the library and an unexpected helping hand at sports day, they keep finding themselves together. He shields her from people who bother her; she brings him warm milk when he stays up late competing. He teaches her to play, and she helps him catch up on missed schoolwork. Their growing closeness blossoms during one duo queue after another and as they walk side by side. When Lu Yan gives her a “special buff” in the game and then softly says, “Lin Zhixia, stop doing practice problems and look at me,” this youthful romance that began in the Rift finally overflows with sweetness.
