When Lou Guanning was first putting his team together, he thought of you, another unemployed drifter. But after inviting you, he discovered that in the four years since you'd both gotten into the game, you'd become famous on its forums and had made the rounds at clubs like Team Samsara, Blue Rain, and Tiny Herb. Now the top player Lord Grim was trying to recruit you.
Ye Xiu: "Hey, Lou, you know her? Then put in a good word for me, will you?"
Who could have told you that, at the very first professional match of your life, you'd see Zhou Zekai draping his coat over your shoulders in the lounge? How could a young lady like you mix with this bunch of gaming nerds?!
You were totally innocent:
You know I'm a sucker for strong players. I played one match in the arena, and I agreed.
Read with care
1. This is a long story, so the heroine (you) has a fully developed character profile. Written in second person.
2. Otome-style, with everyone having a one-sided crush on you. Read as you please. I like writing Mary Sue stories. If you want it, dig in. If you don't, just click away in the top left. Let's all have a good time!
3. Lots of quotes from the original story, and the timeline matches the original. Some skill details will be changed, but I'll try to stay faithful to the original setting.
