"I sold my soul to the devil, but he held a sincere heart and said he would rebuild the throne for me."
Three years ago, she was the genius girl Xia, recognized as a "god" in the e-sports circle. In the deciding game of the global finals, her most trusted teammate made an incredible appearance, sending her into an abyss. His reputation was ruined and he was scorned by the whole network. "Xia Shen" was declared dead.
Three years later, she was Summer, an entertainment anchor who relied on her "idiot beauty" persona to survive. She had a sweet smile, managed to make ends meet, and carefully buried the past with exaggerated performances.
Until she met Gu Huaijin.
This man is the iceberg boss of the NGC club and a new capital upstart in the e-sports circle. He is calm, ascetic, and careful at every step. In front of him, all her disguises were gone.
He saw through the fleeting sharpness after every "mistake" of hers, and the panic and unwillingness beneath her perfect smile.
He forced her into a corner, stroked the old scar behind her ear with his fingertips, and breathed hotly:
"Lin Zhixia, you never hid on the playing field."
In the name of the contract, he imprisoned her by his side and became his team's most secret "ghost advisor". During the day, they were a calm analyst and a harsh boss; at night, when she woke up from the nightmare, it was he who covered her eyelids with his warm palms, held her trembling body in his arms, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Don't be afraid, look at me. This time, I will never let you lose."
When the former betrayer returns as a winner, when the entire network once again pours the dirty water of the "obsolete vase" on her,
Gu Huaijin, however, put that dust in front of the global live broadcast camera.
