A Date with the Full-Time Male God

Liang Fei is a high school Chinese teacher. After working hard and finally saving enough money for a trip to Shanghai, she boards a plane and starts reading the copy of The King's Avatar her younger sister lent her. The plane crashes, and she transmigrates into the book, becoming the popular actress Liang Fei, who shares her name.

In her new life, she meets Zhou Zekai, Yu Wenzhou, Wang Jiexi... and all the other heartthrobs from The King's Avatar. Like any typical transmigrated heroine, she finds herself surrounded by a tangled mess of romantic possibilities. But unlike the usual heroine, she is independent, mature, and strong. How will she carry on living in this unfamiliar world with her new identity?

* The story takes place after Team Samsara wins the championship in Season 8.

* I got the idea after reading the original novel. I was greedy and wanted to hug every heartthrob, so I wrote this to indulge my girlish vanity. The heroine is loved by everyone, but I'll try to keep things peaceful and avoid love-triangle showdowns. She will be a bit of a Mary Sue, and there's a constant risk of her secret identity being exposed in the early chapters. If that's not your thing, feel free to drop out at any time.

* The author has gone completely mad and put the heartthrobs through all sorts of crazy situations. There will definitely be plenty of unrealistic fantasies, so I hope you have strong nerves.

* Yu Wenzhou, Wang Jiexi, and Zhou Zekai are the most frequent male leads in the first sixty chapters. There is no fixed male lead. Starting in Chapter 61, the main storyline focuses on Zhou Zekai, and from then through the World Invitational, it's sweet enough to rot your teeth, with a little angst now and then.

* If readers enjoy it, I'll keep writing until the World Invitational ends. I want to get Lele a championship.

* I promise to finish the main story and won't abandon it. Your support is what keeps me writing, and every little response makes me happy.

[About the World Invitational]

* Group stage (against Italy, Norway, and Germany, in that order) -> quarterfinals (against the UK) -> semifinals (against South Korea) -> final (against the US)

* Zhou Zekai is the male lead during the World Invitational. Outside the matches, expect all kinds of melodramatic plotlines from the author's imagination.

* I struggle with writing battles, so please treat anything unreasonable as a bug or a sign of the author's inability.

* The captains and hosts of the other national teams get a lot of scenes, and BL elements will appear. Be careful if that's not your thing.

[About the Side Stories]

* The side stories don't contradict the events of Chapters 1 to 60. They fill in and expand on storylines that weren't fully developed in the main chapters, with special focus on Liang Fei's secret story with each heartthrob. So when reading a side story, you'll need to check roughly where the main story has gotten to.

* The side stories delve deeply into relationships. They may feel very real and painful, and they'll have a different tone from the main story. There are three planned routes, which will be updated from time to time alongside the main story during the World Invitational.

* Team Tiny Herb side story: male lead Wang Jiexi (some angst, complete)

-> We met when our lives were at their brightest, but we also lost each other then. Maybe that's why they say meeting the right person at the wrong time is what youth is all about. So let me put it this way: if I can't be there with you when you reach the summit, I'll gladly be the one watching you get there.

-> First love has never been about whether you can be together, or how long you can stay together. It's about learning how to love, how to lose, how to face regret, how to heal yourself, and how to start again as a better person.

* Team Happy and Team Excellent Era side story: male lead Ye Xiu (bitter before it gets better, ongoing)

-> We know we're wrong for each other, but we can't help being drawn together. If a relationship seems doomed from the start, is it still worth fighting for?

-> Now that I've finally made up my mind and managed to win you over, I won't let you leave me. I ran away from home for Glory, but I'll come home for you, because I can't have one without the other.

* Team Blue Rain side story: male leads Yu Wenzhou and Huang Shaotian (love triangle showdown, ongoing)

-> If you're unlucky enough to fall for the same girl as your brother, should you step aside or go all out?

-> Promise me you'll make her happier than she would be with me.

* Team Tyranny side story: male lead Han Wenqing (the least compatible pairing, ongoing)

-> How much fate can two people share when their first meeting is as awful as it gets?

-> You're the only one who gets to act up around me. That's a privilege I grant only to you.

* Team Samsara side story: male lead Sun Xiang (not started yet)
