The Internet Explodes After I Go Public with My Archrival

A flamboyant peacock (older top) vs. an eternally icy, wooden woman (younger bottom)

Blurb One:

Ming Fei is a key player and captain of the E'nan women's ice hockey team. She's a master of rapid skating, tight turns, and dodging and weaving, and is known as a "pressure monster."

In a friendly match against the Lace Ice Hockey Team, the opposing star is the rink's queen, Fan Te Caroline, her equally famous nemesis. The two truly can't stand each other.

With her rival in front of her, Ming Fei gives it her all. But just as she swings her stick for a devastating strike, someone shoves her hard from behind and whispers in her ear, "Go die. It's time for a new captain."

In the last moment before Ming Fei slams into the boards,

what she sees is a hand reaching out to stop her, golden, tousled hair beneath a visor, and a pair of gray-blue eyes.

Blurb Two:

When she opens her eyes, she's back three years in the past, back in college. She thinks of those eyes.

Ming Fei thinks: Maybe we can become friends.

Fan Te Caroline: ? I'm not interested in being your friend.

Blurb Three:

In the dead of night, she stares for a long time at a whiteboard covered in photos of a young woman, game reports, and statistics.

She studies the other's experiences and choices, gritting her teeth as she vows to defeat her. But when she sees the other woman grieving over a loss, she can't help but soften.

After all, they're alike.

Content notes:

The top is 185 cm tall and a foreigner. The bottom is 175 cm tall. I don't have a habit of writing short tops or bottoms.

In both timelines, they love the same person. SC (pure through and through) + happy ending.

A short story of 250,000 words. I can't write long stories. This is a product of my personal preferences, written for myself and shared with readers. I write for love, not for profit, and don't accept criticism or lectures.

I'm very likely to make a whole dumpling feast over a single dish of vinegar. Once I've written the satisfying parts, I'm all spent...

So the 18-25 range is my comfort zone. I'm not writing a long one, okay, babies?
