The Day You Return, as Autumn Rain Falls on Mu

On a rainy night, outside the Xingxin Internet Cafe, a soul who should have remained eighteen years old, Su Muqiu, suddenly appears on the day Ye Xiu retires, carrying ten years of missing memories. He looks at the friend who is both familiar and strange, from the Glory textbook to the “internet cafe manager” forced into retirement. He watches Ye Xiu stir up a storm in District 10 in a different way, navigate and cooperate with the league’s collection of “scheming” experts, and see his little sister, Su Mucheng, all grown up. His heart is filled with complicated emotions.

He becomes the strongest support and sharpest spear on Ye Xiu’s path to rebuilding Team Xingxin. In the tenth season, the names Autumn Wood and Lord Grim are engraved together on the championship trophy: an act of making amends, and a new beginning. But after Ye Xiu is taken home by his younger brother Ye Qiu, his father gives him an ultimatum: “You’re not allowed back unless you win the world championship.” The heavy responsibility of leading the national team falls on Ye Xiu.

At Ye Xiu’s insistence, and thanks to his stunning performance in the tenth season and unparalleled potential, Su Muqiu is promoted to assistant team leader and substitute. He joins Ye Xiu on the journey to the World Championship. Standing behind Ye Xiu, the man he has admired for so long, he watches him strategize and lead a group of top experts into battle for their country’s honor. When the five-star red flag rises over the Zurich arena and the word “Glory” lights up for them, Su Muqiu knows the time has come. Having crossed the divide between life and death, between past and present, he will finally tell the person whose eyes have always shone like stars the feelings he has kept to himself for ten long years.
