Synopsis

Three years ago, Ling Su, a genius shot-caller hailed as a “tactical textbook,” made a baffling “mistake” in a crucial match, costing his team the world championship. He was left with massive debts, retired in disgrace, and vanished without a word from Jiang Chi, the prodigy he had personally trained.

Three years later, Ling Su is scraping by as an internet cafe attendant, while Jiang Chi has become the star captain of one of the country's top teams. They are like two parallel lines that will never meet.

Then an unexpected contract to serve as a practice partner pulls Ling Su back into a world both familiar and strange. He becomes a data analyst for Jiang Chi's team, Zero-G, and an “anonymous” practice partner.

Faced with Jiang Chi's icy stare and barbed taunts, everyone assumes this is the former champion's way of humiliating him after his return.

“Ling Su, you finally decided to come back?”

“A traitor who can't even hold a gun steady has no business talking about tactics.”

But no one knows that every night, Jiang Chi replays the footage of that “mistake” from three years ago, again and again. And no one knows that the secret behind Ling Su's retirement is enough to destroy the trust between them.

Please, Dual Male Leads, Angst in the Beginning and Sweetness Later, Happy Ending, Thanks!

Yeah, some angst early on is fine, as long as it doesn't mess with my sense of right and wrong. Then give me the ex-chasing-her-to-hell arc later, but don't make it too extreme.
