The Evolution of an Esports Queen

[Main story complete; bonus chapters ongoing] Completed modern entertainment-industry romance: The Script Wouldn't Dare Write It This Way [Entertainment Industry] Ongoing modern entertainment-industry romance: Carry Me Away, No Thanks [Entertainment Industry] Also working on: The Male God Is My Biggest Fan [Reborn] and The Female Lead Is Infinite and Alive [Infinite Flow] LUNA is one of the top ten players on the national server, and an exceptionally mysterious, low-key one at that. One day, everyone discovered she was a girl. Later, she announced her engagement to another top player... LUNA x KING A wish-fulfillment, feel-good, sweet story. Readers who care about strict realism, beware! The male lead is seven years older than the female lead. This story is also known as The Girl Who Became King and The Wife-Doting Maniac Is Connecting. This is not a gaming story. The female lead rises through the esports scene, but the game itself barely features, so girls who don't play games can jump right in. A few warnings: 1. No real-life inspirations. Do not try to match characters to real people. 2. Both leads are virgins. One-on-one romance, with mutual secret crushes. 3. The female lead is adored by everyone. If that's not your thing, don't read. -------------------- New story: Carry Me Away, No Thanks [Entertainment Industry] -------------------- The biggest recent news in the entertainment industry has all been about the hit IP Red Sleeves. The first story: Tan Qingzhi, the screenwriter known for adapting several hugely popular IPs and for being merciless and outspoken, is personally taking the helm as director this time. After photos from the set leaked, Weibo exploded. The screenwriter was so handsome he could tidy himself up and debut as an idol. A real treat for the face-obsessed! Tan Qingzhi: Not interested. I love the work I do. The second story concerns casting. Ji Yanran may have studied acting, but aside from two influencer vlogs, she has no work to her name. She isn't even a C-list celebrity. Yet somehow, she landed the second female lead, leaving countless actresses who had been vying for the role empty-handed. Fans of the novel and fans of the stars chased her down online with endless abuse. One day, paparazzi were waiting to catch the male and female leads on set when they photographed the handsome screenwriter cornering and disciplining the obscure second female lead. Ji Yanran was crying like a baby. Novel fans: Yeah, right. She has nothing but a pretty face, and doesn't fit the original character at all. No need to say more about the shady casting, is there? Star fans: No awards, no ratings. Did she get the role by sleeping her way to the top? Original author Qing Feng: Separate the book from the show. @RedSleevesTV, wishing you great ratings. Ji Yanran: The author said it herself, so I hope everyone will ignore this obscure production and its obscure second female lead. Don't contribute to the ratings. Take Qing Feng away, we're not interested! Onlookers: ??? Am I crazy enough to insult myself, too? On the last day of filming, someone dug up Ji Yanran's secret account and discovered she was a die-hard Qing Feng fan. She was the top reviewer in the book's comment section, "Xiaoxiao," and had spent hundreds of thousands on monthly tickets... Weibo turned into a field of juicy gossip: Novel fans: We're kneeling! So it was the power of money. We can't compete with a big spender like her. The author of Red Sleeves spoke up again: Qing Feng: Separate the book from the show. @Ji Yanran is the inspiration for the female lead, not the second female lead. Then came the head of Red Sleeves' production company: Feixing Media - Ji Feiyang: @Ji Yanran, happy birthday, little sister. And finally... the haughty screenwriter publicly apologized: Tan Qingzhi: I was wrong. I'll kneel on a washboard, @Ji Yanran. Also, I'll never write novels again. TAT @Qing Feng, this account is permanently closed. I said I loved the work I do. That evening, Tan Qingzhi got up from the washboard, loosened his collar, and leaned close to Ji Yanran's ear. In a husky voice, he asked, "Didn't you say you were taking Qing Feng away? Where are you taking me? Hurry up... I can't wait any longer."
