Her Old Loser

December 7: I don’t feel like writing today. Let me wallow for a bit. There are always a few gloomy days every month, you know how it is.

Blurb One

Han Jiangxue had never played an esports game in her more than twenty years of life.

One day, on a whim, she used her roommate’s account to play a round of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.

Fifteen kills, and she won!

From then on, she began her journey to dominate all kinds of esports games!

Lin Du, CEO of the Fenghuang Group, was forced to take a vacation after overworking himself. His nephew, who livestreamed games, dragged him into playing a few rounds of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. Every time, Lin Du got eliminated as soon as he landed.

In the final round, an enemy shot Lin Du down. The opponent turned on voice chat and taunted him: “Call me Dad. Call me Dad and I won’t kill you.”

But the next second, the enemy was knocked down by a teammate, and a lovely young woman’s voice came through the headset: “Call me Dad. Call me Dad and I won’t kill you.”

Blurb Two:

Lin Du had met all kinds of people, but he had never met a woman like Han Jiangxue.

In the game, she was wild and uninhibited, slaughtering her way through the competition. Her bold words captivated him. She was like a cheetah racing alongside lions across the grasslands, thoroughly crushing every man in the game who mocked women for playing competitive games.

But in real life, Han Jiangxue was an excellent student, sweet and well-behaved in appearance, gentle in personality, and just a little mischievous.

Lin Du simply couldn’t reconcile the online version of her with the real one.

When everyone thought that a “good-for-nothing” woman like Han Jiangxue wasn’t worthy of Lin Du, someone saw her, a head shorter than him, pin him against a wall, pull on his tie, and kiss him deeply. Just as they were about to accuse Han Jiangxue of shamelessly forcing herself on him, Lin Du, breathing hard, wrapped his arms around her and kissed her back passionately.

Lin Du: “How was that, baby?”

Han Jiangxue: “You’re terrible at games, but I didn’t expect your kissing to be this bad too.”

Lin Du: “That’s okay. We have plenty of time to practice…”

Everyone else: “Are we just scenery?”

A naturally gifted, game-savvy powerhouse × a terrible player who keeps getting eliminated on landing, and a doting CEO husband

This is a silly romance, not an esports novel. They just play a few games and fall in love. I simply wanted to write a story that’s as sweet and satisfying as possible. There isn’t much gaming, so even readers who don’t play games can enjoy it without any trouble.

Thanks to my friend “Liming Soda” for making the cover.
