This is an esports novel.
Archaeology student ✘ esports player
Wen Zhihe has two talents that seem completely at odds with each other.
As the younger sister of Wen Zhiyi, a veteran player on the NNG team, her gaming talent astounds everyone. She dominates ranked matches, and her mechanics are nearly on par with the club’s pro players.
Everyone urges her to go pro, and people in the league are quietly keeping an eye on this mysterious high-ranked player.
But esports were never her calling.
She’s a student of a leading authority in archaeology. Rather than the stage bathed in spotlights, she longs for dusty excavation sites, fascinated by pottery sherds, rubbings, and thousand-year-old ruins. All she wants is to become an archaeological researcher.
The NNG team welcomes its new star player, Dai Yige.
The young man has a pair of amber, peach-blossom eyes. He shines on the competition stage and has won countless adoring fans.
He’s seen her wield a mouse and crush the competition, and he’s seen her take off her headset and quietly bury herself in archaeological reports and artifact diagrams.
Wen Zhiyi, a brother who fiercely protects his little sister, warns his teammates: “Don’t even think about going after my sister.”
Who would have guessed that his own star teammate would secretly whisk his little sister away?
Her ex-boyfriend, Shen Yan, happens to be a rising star on a rival team.
On the finals stage, Dai Yige and Wen Zhiyi fight side by side and crush the opposing team.
The hashtag “Her brother and boyfriend teamed up to destroy her ex” trends, and the whole internet erupts with gossip.
Note:
The heroine will not go pro. That isn’t her dream. The main storyline is still about esports.
I’ve written a lot already, probably hundreds of thousands of words. I’m not a professional, so please point out anything that seems unrealistic and I’ll correct it. None of the characters are based on real people.
