[The King's Avatar] Don't Hit the Cook While He's Serving

I, Zhen Xinfei, am a Chinese woman who has spent her whole life pursuing the niche. There are only around two hundred people in the country with my surname, making me the ultimate niche girl. I’m the goddess everyone adores in a certain anime fan circle, a top student at a well-known art academy in H City, and a little artist in the drawing community whom people keep begging to open a shop. While everyone around me was obsessively following esports or focusing on anime, I did something extremely mainstream.

I’m a self-insert dream girl for the captain of a certain famous, broke team, and that’s how I got into esports.

I hid my dream-girl identity really well. Even when my friends said I was crazy for not supporting local team Excellent Era and instead following Thunderclap, they never suspected I was a dream girl.

That is, until I actually started dating the guy I’d been dreaming about. My friends cursed me out, and I accepted it. We were already dating, so what else could I do?!

Thanks. Becoming the captain’s girlfriend really is niche. I’ve lived a worthwhile life as a niche girl.

An original female character told in first person, set in The King's Avatar. The male lead is Xiao Shiqin. It runs from the winter of Season Seven to the World Invitational Tournament. You can self-insert, but mind your own triggers.

Basically, it’s a story about my version of the more assertive Xiao Shiqin pursuing one of his own fans, who then falls right into his arms.

A practice piece for writing romance. There is OOC and there are plot holes! It focuses on daily life and romance, and contains plenty of stereotypes about esports and anime.

The female lead is a hopeless romantic. If you can’t handle that, run.

Theme: Love paints a bright stroke across life.
