[The King's Avatar] The Right Way to Toy with Feelings

[All-For-One, Villainess Protagonist]

After dating Wang Jiexi for years, Zhou Qing'e had had enough of him always being "busy," and of always coming second to Tiny Herb. To get back at her ex, she broke up with him, then decided to...

win over Ye Qiu from next door.

What makes you so special, Wang Jiexi?

If she's going to date someone, it'll be the strongest player in Glory.

*

A few days later, Ye Xiu received a fan's complaint.

She said that "Goosegrass" from the new-server Herb Hall had played with her feelings. She loved Glory and loved Ye God, but this time she was really going to say goodbye to Glory.

Ye Xiu decided to log in with a female character and see that scumbag for himself.

On day one, the scumbag took him through a dungeon, rolled for gear for him, and protected and looked after him at every turn.

On day two, the scumbag called him "baby," patiently listened to him vent about real-life troubles, tenderly wished him good night, and said he was the cutest girl he'd ever met. Whoever married him must have done something wonderful in a past life.

On day three, just as Ye Xiu was about to confess to bait the scumbag, the other person said they were away from the game because it was on auto-play and they had something to do.

Ye Xiu hid in a corner and saw the scumbag embracing a female priest.

Whoa, matching couple names?

He really was a scumbag.

He switched characters and played a cool, delicate flower being hunted down, successfully catching the scumbag's attention.

Just as the other person started caring more and more about him, Ye Xiu suddenly blocked him and cut off all contact, making him taste what it was like to be teased and abandoned by someone he liked.

On the third day without contact, Lord Grim was ambushed in the wilderness by Goosegrass.

The Battle Mage's skill had improved by leaps and bounds. He actually forced Ye Xiu to get serious!

Ye Xiu recognized him. "Hey, did you switch characters?"

The other player came clean, too. "You tried to steal my girl and played with my girlfriend's feelings. What's the point?"

"Your girlfriend? Who?"

"Goosegrass. Wang Buliuxing. Isn't that obvious?"

"...So that alt hugging her was you?"

"It wasn't me," Wang Jiexi said unhappily. "Maybe it was Zhou Zekai. I don't really know."

Ye Xiu: ???

So the scumbag wasn't a scumbag. She was a scumbag girl.

*

Wang Jiexi had once thought that one day Zhou Qing'e would stand with him on the world's greatest stage.

He never imagined that when that day came, Ye Xiu, Zhou Zekai, Yu Wenzhou, Zhang Xinjie, Sun Xiang, Huang Shaotian, Xiao Shiqin, Zhang Jiale, Li Xuan, Tang Hao, Fang Rui... and others would be by her side, too.

Wait, did he leave out Han Wenqing, still back with Tyranny?

-Reading Guide-

* An all-for-one, fan-favorite love-triangle showdown. A villainess plots to win Ye God over, Old Wang's chasing-his-wife arc, and she picks up a bunch of one-sided admirers along the way. Not everyone is instantly hers. Ye God will have to put in some effort to win her over, right? ovo

* Not pure romance; there's a plotline, though it serves the romance. The early chapters muddy the waters in the online game, followed by competitions and commentary later. The heroine's career path: TV station, interviews, and variety-show hosting, then tournament hosting and commentary.

* Real-world gaming and esports details may be incorporated as the plot requires. The World Invitational-related plot should appear fairly early. Expect plenty of author-created settings.

* Everything in the blurb is a setup deliberately arranged by the heroine. Early on, both she and Ye God use female characters to scheme against each other. Their gaming etiquette is pretty bad (?), and she's even better at it, manipulating people in a far more ruthless way. Readers with strong moral sensibilities should stay away.
