The Physicist Who Married an Esports Pro

The protagonist is a promising young physicist. His dream is to win the Nobel Prize and find a suitable partner. As it happens, the country introduces a policy: citizens can use their ID cards to participate in a national matching System and register their marriages with their matches. (In short, the country assigns you a spouse.) Confidently, the protagonist signs up. His match is sure to love physics just as much as he does... Chemistry would be acceptable, too. Three days later. When he learns that his 100% compatible match is a man, and an esports player to boot, he feels like the sky has fallen. Setting aside the fact that his match is a man, this is the least respectable profession in his eyes. And the people call a 100% compatibility rating a soulmate match. Following the address, the protagonist decides to go to the other man's club and have a talk with him. The lights flash backstage at the arena. While waiting for the match to end, he looks around, trying to find a moment to speak. He turns around and suddenly collides with the other man, who is wearing a black hoodie and towering over him, eyes cast down. He hears the players around them call the man their captain. Enveloped by the man's unfamiliar, icy presence, he suppresses his nerves and looks up. "Hello. Please sign this divorce consent form." "I heard that if both parties are dissatisfied, the state can approve a divorce at its discretion. The waiting period is only six months." As he earnestly explains, his lashes tremble. The man suddenly pulls his own hood over the protagonist's head. The weight lifts from him, and his vision is plunged into darkness. He is speechless. Then the pro speaks in a cool voice. "Sorry." "I'm not dissatisfied." * The country issues a new announcement! The System has been updated, and newlywed couples will soon be able to check why they were matched. Desperate to understand, the protagonist is the first to ask at the marriage registry. The answer he gets is: 1. Childhood friends. 2. 100% sexual compatibility. 3. Admiration for each other's careers... This is ridiculous. Refusing to give up, the protagonist skips a lecture by a visiting professor from overseas and goes to watch his match's latest esports tournament. After an exhilarating match, the third reason is proven true. Coming back to his senses, dizzy and flushed, his neck burning, the protagonist locks the lab door and heads home. That night, his match pins him against the wall and kisses him until he trembles. He doesn't get out of bed the next day. The second reason is proven true, too. Protagonist: "..." Fine, only the first reason remains. Are he and the spouse assigned to him by the country childhood friends? ...Absolutely impossible. * Lock is a fearsome esports demon king, and everything has gone his way. Not only is he a first-rate player, he also made a name for himself as a rookie, forming the dark horse team Teen and crushing his way through the competition. Known as a demon king of talent, he has created countless unforgettable legends in games and tournaments alike. And in the end, he even married the childhood friend he fell in love with at first sight. When Team Teen first met the highly intelligent, calm, and beautiful theoretical physics PhD, who looked like he belonged in a painting, his ears turned red as all the players called him "Sister-in-law." The team members were green with envy. Until one day, the protagonist comes to pick up his beloved from the lab. In the lower-right corner of the small blackboard used for physics equations, he finds a countdown: [Only 42 days until the divorce waiting period ends.] A scheming esports star seme x a beautiful physicist uke *Married first, love later.
