[A deadpan, aloof genius with an offbeat streak, the bottom X a gentle, scheming green-tea captain, the top]
Jiang Lin, forever the GOAT.
The fake young master of a wealthy family, he was exposed as a fraud and kicked out before reaching adulthood.
He entered the industry halfway through, yet took down one expert after another during livestreams, launching a legendary esports career.
His debut match stunned everyone, and his game-changing plays made him an online sensation.
He made his debut in the second-tier league and immediately led his team to the title, prompting coaches from every team to scramble for him as the “most coveted rookie.”
He led his team in an underdog comeback, silenced the doubters, and pulled off an unbelievable Cinderella run as the eighth seed.
His professional league career was packed with iconic moments, and he repeatedly turned the tide in desperate situations. On the international stage, he was a true final boss. Still young, he had already won multiple titles and claimed the top spot in the Hall of Fame, single-handedly turning a league dominated by four wealthy powerhouses into a family reunion spanning four generations.
Whenever he took the stage, miracles happened.
He never missed. He never made a mistake.
Everyone agreed that Jiang Lin was the undisputed god of esports.
And now, the legend was just beginning, starting from humble origins…

At the lowest point in his life, Jiang Lin received his cheat system.
[Esteemed Host, welcome to the Esports Genius Simulator!]
[Each time you run a simulation, you can draw traits related to your family background, talent, and more. Trait cards come in different rarities, from lowest to highest: gray N cards, green R cards, purple SR cards, gold SSR cards, and multicolored UR cards.]
[When a simulation ends, the System will grant rewards based on your overall evaluation and apply them to your real-life self.]
The simulator was great, but its drop rates were painfully low.
There were always a few runs where, even after drawing a gold SSR legendary card, you were still stuck with several troublesome negative N cards.
And so…
- [The Top Laner Who Loves Posting on Weibo]
You are a regular on Weibo who loves talking trash, a spoiled man-child on your team with negative social skills, and a top laner who never teleports to join team fights.
Across the entire world, both your teammates and your opponents love and hate you. They love your unpredictable plays, and hate your arrogance and the talent that lets you win every battle.
- [The Support Who Refuses to Practice]
You are the head of the “Training Is Useless” school, a trash-talking king whose excuses are always more forceful than his performance on the field, and an internationally beloved ambassador for online haters and trolls.
After you come out of retirement, the entire esports scene waits to laugh at you. But you prove your worth with your play: everything you once said was not a boast, but the truth.
- [The ADC’s Last Dance]
You are a quiet, thoughtful confidant who gets along with everyone in the scene, a famously easygoing nice guy with no proven ability, and a perennial cannon-fodder extra who never makes it past the round of sixteen.
Just before you retire, the country’s top players all take pay cuts and transfer to become your teammates. The legends plead with you: before you leave the stage, please let them accompany you for one last match.
Even when random draws repeatedly gave him a disastrous start, Jiang Lin stayed calm and turned a doomed opening into a dream run.
After countless attempts, he finally had SSR gold traits such as [Elite Laning] and [Master of Rotations], along with the max-level Bond item gifted by the UR character Shi Yue.
Jiang Lin turned around without a hint of concern and set his sights on reality.

Extra Scene 1:
The esports simulator had ultimately become a dating simulator in Jiang Lin’s hands.
Looking at the tall man before him, who had rolled up his sleeves to cook, Jiang Lin’s gaze darkened. He suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the man by the collar.
“Baby, what’s wrong?” Shi Yue didn’t resist. Smiling, he wrapped his arms around Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin kept a straight face and pointed to his left cheek. “Kiss me.”
Extra Scene 2:
Ever since that incident, whenever Shi Yue was about to take a shower, his personal guardian would reliably appear at the bathroom door.
Shi Yue sighed helplessly. “The tiles have been specially designed to prevent slipping. I swear I won’t fall in the bathroom again.”
Seeing that the young man still wore a sour expression and said nothing, Shi Yue sighed and reached for a towel, accidentally loosening the belt of his bathrobe.
He glanced sideways at Jiang Lin. Steam drifted out, making his voice sound a little husky.
“If you’re really worried…” The man turned around and blinked innocently. “God Jiang, would you like to come check for yourself?”
Notes:
1. Jiang Lin (bottom) X Shi Yue (top). Their romance is sweet from beginning to end, and they are strictly one-on-one.
They are each other’s first love, first kiss, and first night. Happy ending. They adore each other, body and soul, and belong to no one but each other. They are the perfect couple, so no dreaming about other pairings, swapping their roles, or breaking them up!
2. The career storyline is an exhilarating power fantasy, and the game is League of Legends.
The simulator’s negative traits are based on jokes about real-life esports players, who have real-life counterparts. The top and bottom in the real world are original characters with no real-life counterparts.
The author remains neutral toward all esports players, both Chinese and international. The novel only uses these jokes for fun, so please don’t read if that bothers you!
