A story about "How does the newcomer come out on top? By fighting and grabbing everything for himself."

As the captain of the Frostbite, one of the strongest hockey teams, Logan Pierce was hailed as a "saint."

That was partly because he was older, rarely lost his temper, had an excellent record, and was loved by almost everyone. But there was an even more important reason: he had never dated anyone.

"As a team captain, the last thing you need is to waste time on romance," he would say.

The players on the Frostbite sincerely applauded their veteran captain.

A center doesn't need a weak spot.

A mature man doesn't need to lose control.

Until Caleb Hart showed up.

This young brat barged into his life like a fierce winter wind.

Whenever Caleb's hockey team, the Howling Wolves, met Logan's Frostbite on the ice, there were always insults, collisions, and provocations of every kind.

Caleb had fought almost every player on the Frostbite, except Logan.

Everyone assumed that meant he respected Logan, too.

But the little devil grabbed Logan in the hallway and asked in a low voice,

"Are you like this with everyone?"

Logan didn't answer.

Because there really was someone living in his heart.

That person was the pride of American baseball, the media's darling, and a winner in real life.

He was also the so-called "lover" Logan had to keep hidden from the world forever.

Caleb didn't understand any of that.

He only knew that if he wanted something, he had to take it.

And if he couldn't get it, he had to take it by force.

He hated Logan's restraint, hated his sense of boundaries,

and hated most of all the place in Logan's heart reserved forever for that unattainable ideal.

"Are you really going to spend your whole life being a self-sacrificing good guy?"

Then, one day, after Logan was once again forgotten by his "lover,"

a crybaby suddenly knocked on his door.

Caleb showed up at his house, bawling his eyes out.

"I don't understand! I like you so much! Why would you rather get hurt than choose me?!"

Hearing the childish complaint, Logan couldn't help laughing. He had to admit it:

Not every emotional storm could be held back by his own good sense.

The winter wind in Minneapolis

was never supposed to reach San Diego.

But some people refused to believe that.

They collided.

And spring fell into disarray as a cold snap swept back in.

Reading Guide:

· Mature older captain and center × younger hot-tempered genius forward

· Competitive hockey × realistic emotional love triangle

· No substitutes / no disposable characters / character growth

· Both are inexperienced; the love interest has an ex, so please avoid if that's a concern

· There will be melodramatic plotlines, so this isn't for you if you're picky about that

An unconventional marriage-before-love story set on the field

Cosmo Lin is the ace of the Los Angeles Guardians, an MLB-recognized "god," a two-way superstar who excels both on the mound and at bat.

He has only two secrets in life:

One, he's deep in the closet.

Two, last month he woke up hungover in Las Vegas with a ring on his ring finger and a spouse whose gender... was probably male.

His PR team was in total panic. To protect his perfect image, Cosmo had to keep his marriage a secret and flee Sin City as quickly as possible.

Then the new season began, and he ran into his old rival, Lorenzo, ace pitcher for the New York Empire.

As usual, Lorenzo started the game by taunting him.

Cosmo couldn't be bothered to listen and simply flipped him the bird in reply.

But when a fastball traveling nearly 160 kilometers per hour came hurtling toward his face, a flash of recognition struck Cosmo: Lorenzo's face suddenly matched the blurry yet intimate figure from that drunken night in Vegas.

And what Lorenzo had said before the game didn't seem to have been trash talk after all.

It sounded like he'd said, "Your husband is coming."

Crack!

The ball slammed into Cosmo's helmet. The whole stadium erupted.

Only Lorenzo smiled on the mound like a villain, silently asking with his lips:

"What is it? Stunned by your husband's handsome face?"

Help, I'm deep in the closet and married the man I hate most in the world. What do I do? Urgent, waiting for a reply online.

Reading Guide:

· Scheming ace pitcher top × closeted perfect idol bottom

· Both male leads have exes, so please proceed with caution if that bothers you

· Both male leads are kind of "trash," so please proceed with caution if that bothers you

· Happy ending
