Jiang You dives into the online game and its player-versus-player chaos, looking for a skilled guy to customize a persona and start a one-on-one online romance.

Her goal is to master every class!

Soon her contacts list is packed with entries starting with AAA.

[171 cm, Scorpio, a brooding assassin who doesn't talk much but will match profile pictures. A lone wolf who's good at scavenging. Need gear? Ask him.]

[176 cm, Leo, a super chatterbox who's clingy and loves to act cute. A skilled swordsman who knows the Sword Shadow Step. Unbeatable at trash-talk tactics (notifications muted).]

[185 cm, Sagittarius, arrogant and deep in his chuunibyou phase, with terrible people skills. Slap him and he'll lick your hand. A Berserker and Battle Mage with an aggressive playstyle.]

[181 cm, Sagittarius, a quiet, cool guy who never says more than five words at a time. High-maintenance and very jealous. You must say goodnight. Deadly accurate with a gun.]

[178 cm, Pisces, a melancholy long-haired guy with terrible luck who keeps wanting to meet in person. A stylish Ammo Expert with amazing micro-control.]

"So, to sum it up, the whole league is caught up in online romance," Chu Yunxiu tells Su Mucheng as she recaps the gossip on her phone.

After the match, she spots Huang Shaotian and greets him, only to find him blushing and grinning foolishly at his phone. He's so wrapped up in his chat that he doesn't even see her.

She rolls her eyes.

...Great. Another one in an online relationship.

So these people are professional players on the field and online dating gurus off it?

Chu Yunxiu glances at the Sword Saint's fingers flying so fast over the keys that they leave afterimages, then sensibly turns around and walks off, fuming as she continues to send messages.

She's working herself to death as captain, bringing up rookies, while these people spend the day running dungeons and the night finding partners!

How do they even have time for online romance? Did they join some kind of online-dating mutual support group?

Even their girlfriends' profile pictures look alike.

...Wait.

No, something's wrong!

Isn't that Wang Jiexi's girlfriend's profile picture?

Just as she reels in shock and falls into an overthinking spiral,

Huang Shaotian sends a voice message. "Baby, baby, Xiao You, Xiao You, Xiao You, I finished my scrim! Little Squid, listen, that Sword Shadow Step I pulled off in the last fight was so freaking cool..."

Pfft.

Chu Yunxiu spits out the water she'd just taken to calm her nerves.

No way!

There's a second level to this.

Zhang Xinjie's date-planning spreadsheet has the same name, too.

Soon, Huang Shaotian opens a voice reply from his darling girlfriend, and a familiar sweet voice comes through the speaker.

Chu Yunxiu turns to stone.

Wait, didn't she just hear that voice from Han Wenqing?

In the professional league group chat, Wind City Misty Rain sends a message:

"Friendly reminder: online romance is risky, so be careful when looking for a partner. Also, if anyone's online romance goes wrong when you meet in person, come to me for a revival card."

In short: After her online catfishing goes spectacularly wrong, she deletes her account and runs. Then, when she becomes a pro player offline, her secret identity is exposed and the guys chase after her.

[Warning: a chaotic love triangle after she turns pro. Still an all-oriented story with separate endings.]

Who exactly will be featured is still undecided.
