What Should I Do If My Wife Is a Fan of My Rival?

I just got past the contract-signing stage and need to sort out the characters and plot, so I'm starting The Whole World Is Waiting for Us to Meet first. I'll start this one next. Thank you, everyone 🥺

Childhood friends | Bickering sweethearts | His secret crush comes true | Partly set in the entertainment industry | Enemies-to-lovers

Rebellious, first-love-vibe actress x arrogant, unruly esports genius

Zhu Yanhuan x Chen Chiyan

1. At the world championship, newcomer team TCG from the CN region stunned everyone by taking down a veteran North American team.

At the tense match point, all her teammates were eliminated, leaving her in a one-versus-five. Killer, the team's duel commander, had a pistol, seven bullets, and five enemies. Every shot hit its mark.

At the end of the game, the arrogant young man sprayed a red X, mocking his opponents to the hilt.

It was the first time a Chinese team had won an esports tournament that had been dominated by foreign teams for so many years.

Young and reckless, Killer had platinum-blond hair and did whatever he pleased. With a carefree, defiant air, he lifted the trophy high over his head.

Everyone saw the clearly visible, brazen "H" tattoo on the inside of his wrist.

There are two things Zhu Yanhuan regrets most in her life:

Forgetting to switch back to her alt account before liking a negative post about Chen Chiyan, and agreeing to the company’s demand that she appear on a variety show with him.

On the show, the two of them outwitted each other and clashed at every turn, becoming the undisputed nemeses of the industry.

Zhu Yanhuan: "I can't be bothered to roast you. If the game developers hadn't forced us onto the same team, I'd rather die than team up with you."

Chen Chiyan nodded. "You should change that to 'I can't be bothered to live.' It'll save me the trouble of killing you myself."

After the show aired, though, their love-hate dynamic won them a huge following of shippers, and the "Huan-Yan" supertopic appeared out of nowhere.

Shippers: Holy crap! She only picks on him. Doesn't that mean he's special to her?!

Shippers: Holy crap!!! He calls her stupid, but secretly teaches her how to play. What is that if not love?!

Every day, the shippers performed rituals on their knees, praying for the two sworn enemies to become a couple.

Zhu Yanhuan, who was always online, nearly fainted when she saw the comments. Furious, she made a vow: "I, Zhu Yanhuan, will never get together with that bastard Chen Chiyan in this lifetime!"

Not long after, Chen Chiyan trapped her in his burning embrace.

"Tsk." He smiled, lips curling. "Looks like your lifetime is pretty short."

One day, Zhu Yanhuan's alt account on Weibo was exposed.

Among all the posts on her profile gushing over Winter, a player on the XOG team, netizens also found a whole bunch of posts bashing Killer.

Everyone knew that Killer and Winter were rivals.

The most recent post had been published two months earlier:

Winter Won Today?: "Killer, quit showing off. Your form in today's playoffs was absolute trash. Did being on a variety show rot your brain? And they still call you an esports genius? Mediocre would be more like it."

The post immediately trended, and Killer's fans descended on Zhu Yanhuan's page, starting an all-out war.

One side accused the other team's beloved actress of being nothing but a pretty face. The other side said their idol was all talk and couldn't back it up.

The two fandoms fought fiercely while netizens waited for the drama to unfold.

That night, however, netizens saw Killer repost the post himself:

TCG_Chen Chiyan: "I show off just to get my wife's attention QwQ"

His fans were dumbfounded. "Holy crap, bro, what are you doing???"

"That's a fan from your rival's fandom! How are you calling her your wife??"

Moscow doesn't believe in tears, and the fans couldn't believe their cocky, arrogant Killer had fallen in love.

After the playoffs ended, Chen Chiyan posted again, with a photo of the playoff trophy and a side profile of a girl:

"I am Killer, only u can conquer me. @Zhu Yanhuan"

Netizens: Holy crap? Where's my cocky, arrogant Killer?

Fans: Holy crap? We're fighting on your behalf, and you're kissing her?

Shippers: Holy crap? I told you the rituals worked!

"Only u can conquer me" is from Sunset Rollercoaster's "My Jinji."
