When Gu Yuan died in his rented room, his phone wallpaper was still Liu Yifei.
Reborn in 2003, at eighteen years old.
Gu Yuan decides esports will be his way back to the top:
Not for money. Not for fame.
But for the woman who had lived on his screen for more than a decade.
That year, everyone said, “You’ll never amount to anything playing games.”
That year, Gu Yuan swore:
He would go from internet cafes to the world championship.
From the Hangzhou qualifiers, all the way to the top of the world.
He would show the whole world:
The loser named Gu Yuan was dead.
The man standing here now was worthy of her.
