Retired War God: My Beautiful Boss Keeps Me

A new work is here! [Passionate esports + sweet romance and healing + a refreshing, unconventional power fantasy] Shen Ye debuted at eighteen, won his first world championship at nineteen, and completed the grand slam at twenty-two. He was hailed as “the LPL’s top mid laner” and “the Right Hand of God.” At twenty-four, his team brought in a newcomer, and management pressured him to give up his spot to a player backed by powerful connections. He refused and was benched for six months. At twenty-five, he returned and led his team to the World Championship. On the eve of the finals, his teammates were bribed into leaking their strategy, and FTG suffered a crushing defeat. Afterward, the entire internet called him “washed up” and said “it’s time to retire.” That December, he was diagnosed with irreversible nerve damage in his right hand, and his doctor recommended retirement. On the day he announced he was stepping down, not one teammate came to see him off. At twenty-six, he lived in a partitioned room that cost 1,800 a month, scraping by through gaming sessions and boosting accounts. Then his landlord’s daughter knocked on his door.
