“Actually, this isn’t our first meeting. It’s a reunion after a long time apart.”
1.
As a fan of both Xie Jiming’s looks and his career, Wen Qingyang rushed to every match to watch him. One reason she became an esports host was him.
Then one day, her doorbell rang. The stunning esports player was standing outside, holding his cat. His voice was low and husky. “Hi, your cat wandered into my place.”
My new neighbor is my idol?!
Wen Qingyang had always thought he was a gentle gentleman, until he pretended to be drunk and clung to her, demanding she comfort him. He pressed close to her ear and kept whining, “Not enough.”
Wen Qingyang grumbled to herself: How can someone be so different from what he seems?
2.
Their parting three years ago left Xie Jiming unable to forget a certain girl. Later, he discovered that she had become his neighbor.
At first, Xie Jiming just thought it was fun to tease his soft, sweet little neighbor. He loved watching her ears turn red when he flirted with her, seeing her flustered when he played tricks on her, and watching her get annoyed while being unable to do anything about him. Each time, a secret, indescribable thrill rose in his heart.
He never tired of calling her “little neighbor.”
“You catch on fast, little neighbor.”
“Happy New Year, little neighbor.”
Gradually, it turned into:
“Yangyang, can I have a kiss?”
“More...”
3.
On the day Xie Jiming’s team won the first-stage championship, Wen Qingyang stood at his door holding Mint and offered the cat to him. “Mint says congratulations!”
Xie Jiming reached out but didn’t take the cat. He gently supported Mint by the back of the neck and set the kitten down at his feet.
The next instant, his long arm wrapped around Wen Qingyang’s waist and pulled her firmly into his embrace. His deep voice fell by her ear, edged with the aggression and restraint that lingered after the match. “I’d much rather have this ‘little cat’ fall into my arms.”
What’s it like when your cat helps you steal your idol’s heart and turn him into your boyfriend?
A guide for readers:
1. Both leads are sexually inexperienced. There is a six-year age gap. This is a sweet romance focused on the two of them, with no secondary romance.
2. Set in the game Valorant, with no real-life counterparts. Any similarities are coincidental. I’ll do my best to explain the gameplay and terminology in the author’s notes. Please bear with me.
3. No angst at all. Dive in for a sweet romance!
Content note: The balance between esports and romance is 4:6. There will be a substantial amount of esports content.

“To the world, you are one person. To me, you are the whole world.”
“You are my whole world.”
1.
Ever since Ming Li’s online relationship ended in disappointment, she hadn’t met anyone who was her type, until the new duelist joined Team World.
An Song had just turned nineteen. Yet, as a rising star, he defeated the veteran team NYX and became a prodigy in VCT CN overnight.
But none of that mattered. As a top-tier admirer of handsome men, Ming Li was taken with An Song’s face.
He was over six feet tall, yet around her he was obedient and sweet. Ming Li couldn’t resist him at all. Then one day, she realized that his past sounded exactly like that of the online flirt she’d “lost” years ago.
And why was this younger guy constantly clinging to her and kissing her?
2.
An Song was an orphan. More precisely, his parents had abandoned him, and his grandmother had been the one to put him through school.
Before he turned nineteen, he didn’t understand what it felt like to love someone, until a woman named Ming Li appeared in his life. She was far too sunny, and An Song wanted to run as far away from her as he could.
After Ming Li flirted with him again and again, An Song was made to call her “big sister,” let her ruffle his hair and hold his hand, and even kiss her. His heart began to soften, but he truly had no idea how to love someone. Then Ming Li suddenly stopped messaging him, and he panicked completely.
The next day, he ran to her place, wrapped his arms around her, and refused to let go, terrified she would abandon him again.
3.
When An Song turned Ming Li down for the third time, she went a whole day without messaging him. It was deliberate. Playing hard to get was her specialty.
Two days passed, and he still hadn’t messaged her first. Just as Ming Li thought her plan had failed, the doorbell rang.
She had meant to make An Song wait, but when she saw him through the security camera, standing outside with red-rimmed eyes and something in his hand, she couldn’t help softening and opened the door.
Only then did Ming Li see what he was holding: a leash?
What’s a girl to do when her boyfriend keeps wanting to be her dog?
A guide for readers:
1. Both leads are sexually inexperienced. There is a three-year age gap. The story focuses on the two of them, with no secondary romance.
2. Set in the game Valorant, with no real-life counterparts. Any similarities are coincidental.
3. This is a companion book to the previous novel, but you don’t need to have read it to enjoy this one!
Content warnings:
1. A “training the dog” romance. The woman pursues the man at first.
2. It’s fundamentally a straight romance, not a female-dominant relationship.
