Lu Chenyuan, a famed general of ancient times and the Marquis of Zhige, fought countless battles and never once suffered defeat. Yet in the end, he was ambushed at Eagle Beak Cliff in the northern desert and fell from his horse, utterly spent. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a snow-white hospital room, having become the outcast of the wealthy Lu family: a "cripple" who had nearly died in a street-racing accident and been abandoned by his family to fend for himself at an esports club.
The battlefield had become an arena. Swords and blades had been replaced by keyboards and mice. The enemy army had become the opponents on the other side of the screen. And "teammates" had become a concept he found hardest to understand.
In the esports game League of the Summit, Lu Chenyuan charged ahead with the mindset of an ancient strategist. He could carry the whole team to victory on his own, or sacrifice his teammates without hesitation in pursuit of the "optimal solution." He believed that "victory is everything," but time and again, this ironclad rule brought him to a dead end. Then he met Gu Lin, captain of the Starlight team and a top-tier strategist who built his tactical system on data and reason.
"What do you see?" Gu Lin asked.
"A chance to win," Lu Chenyuan replied.
An ancient master of the art of war, and a modern strategist who believed in reason. Ice and fire collided; instinct clashed with calculation. They went from being at each other's throats to trusting one another, from "tamer and beast" to each other's sharpest blade and strongest shield.
When his nemesis Qin Yu laid a meticulous trap, old injuries and tangled feelings resurfaced, and a storm of public opinion swept in, could they stand side by side and break through it all, winning a glory that belonged to them both on the virtual battlefield?
The general has laid down his armor, and his keyboard has become his blade. The war horns sound. The era of two kings has only just begun.
