Former Grand Slam champion turned billiards tournament streamer, the bottom, x current World No. 1 snooker player, the top

Sheffield, a major steel town in England.
To snooker fans, however, it is home to the World Snooker Championship, where the winner takes home 500,000 pounds, enough to make a player famous overnight.
In 2018, Li Zhao came to Sheffield alone and met a young troublemaker who hung around a pool club. They squared off at the table, then took their rivalry from the pool table to the bedroom.
In 2022, Li Zhao won the UK Championship, the Masters, and the World Championship, becoming the youngest player in history to complete the Triple Crown.
In 2024, Li Zhao announced his retirement, swore off love, returned home alone, and disappeared from public view.
In 2026, after He Yize won the Shanghai Masters, he publicly appealed for help finding his wife on camera: "Hello, everyone. I got married to a Triple Crown champion in Sheffield, but he abandoned me and blocked me. I really love my wife. Can you help me find him?"
Li Zhao, watching the match on a certain live-streaming platform, spat out his water at the screen. "What the hell? Has He Yize gone completely crazy? Is no one going to do anything about it?"
Another Triple Crown champion: "What the hell? It's not me. I'm straight!"

Li Zhao often thinks He Yize is as gloomy and damp as Sheffield's cold mist. He's a ghost! A vengeful spirit who can't win the World Championship!
Li Zhao: "Hey, World No. 1, how come you still haven't won the Triple Crown? Is 500,000 pounds not enough for you?"
He Yize: "What's yours is mine, wife."
