[Your identity is: an actor invited to an esports variety show.]

Jiang Lingting: What do you expect a socially anxious person to do?

[Don't worry, there definitely won't be any problems.]

The show So You Play Glory Too? is currently the hottest esports variety show, inviting famous professional players from various teams to serve as coaches.

Jiang Lingting blends in among the other guests. On the outside, he's cool and expressionless with an unexpected cute side. In reality, his toes are already curling from embarrassment.

The host asks, “Which team do you most want to join?”

Jiang Lingting happens to meet the serious gaze of his conquest target in the coaches' seats. He immediately gets so nervous he stammers, “...I want, I want all of them!”

The day after Jiang Lingting appears on the show, the forum is flooded with posts.

Title: Is Jiang Lingting in the latest season here because of connections?

: Honestly, he seems more like a cannon-fodder pretty boy brought in to make the favored ones look good.

: Wait, is he just insanely lucky or actually good? Can you win by mashing buttons at random? Teacher, Glory isn't played like that, is it?

: His bizarre play made Wang Jiexi's mismatched eyes look the same size.

: Huang Shaotian talks so much... Jiang Lingting can't get a word in and just keeps blushing. Not gonna lie, it's kind of shippable.

Midway through filming:

: Uh-oh, I think I actually ship them now. Captain Han gently told him not to be nervous (horrified)

: I'm done. My Lord Ye is clearly giving him pointers, but why does it sound like a confession? Am I imagining things (closes eyes)

: Fish Ball Congee, hold on! Don't smile so gently. Tingting is scared, and so am I (despair)

: Xiao Zhou, you're kind of breaking character when you're around Xiaoting (helpless)

: Rookie x No. Seductress/demon lover ✓

Late in filming:

: Jiang Lingting's collar was so high this morning... Was it really that cold?

: I saw something on his collarbone... That's a bite mark, right?!

: Who was it?!

: I've given up resisting. If you pass by, ship them all a little (kindly)

★★

1. A beloved-by-all story with multiple love interests. It's an esports variety show on the surface and a dating show in spirit, but the focus is still romance. The author is terrible at plot, so there's not much serious gameplay.

2. There's not really any serious conquest plot, and the characters will definitely be out of character.

3. No character substitution, no self-insert, and no mentioning other pairings. Comments that do will be deleted.

4. Includes forum-style posts. The story takes place after the original novel ends.

5. No malicious bashing of characters from the original. The author loves all of them, except for a few characters such as Liu Tao and Chen.

Theme: Nothing is impossible if you work hard.
