Coach, I Want to Fall in Love

Follow-up novel: After Being Reborn N Times, I Became a Top Student

Professor Lin Chuxia, 66, received the internationally renowned Laber EX Award. She sent the notebook she had invented through time to her younger self, 50 years in the past.

At the time, 16-year-old Lin Chuxia was dark-skinned, fat, and a terrible student. The whole school ostracized her, and the notebook told her: If you don't get stronger, you'll die.

From then on, Lin Chuxia devoted every day to figuring out how to come in first.

Notebook: Get the highest score in your grade within one week, or you'll die at eighteen.

Lin Chuxia stomped on the notebook several times.

Notebook: ...Ouch, that hurts.

Lin Chuxia dusted it off. "There, there, sweetheart. Mommy will use you to do practice problems and make notes."

The classmates who had bullied her: "If Black Pig Lin can ever turn things around, I'll call her Daddy!"

After being reborn N times and completing her missions, Lin Chuxia became fair-skinned, slim, and beautiful. She took first place in the entire city and became a famous idol-like top student.

The classmate with a swollen face: "Daddy! Look at me! Teach me how to study!"

Shen Chenzhi was a top student, from a good family, and had a great temper. In his classmates' eyes, he was the kind of school heartthrob one could admire from afar but never touch.

After the college entrance exam, he and Lin Chuxia were interviewed by the city's Minghua Daily.

Reporter: As the goddess of First High School, what has been your biggest takeaway, Lin?

Lin Chuxia: Being alive is great!

Reporter: As the runner-up for a thousand years, do you have confidence you'll take first place, Shen?

Shen Chenzhi: "Take" isn't quite right. Change it to "pursue," and I'm confident.

Lin Chuxia, who had been first for years: ???

The next day, everyone in the city knew Shen Chenzhi was pursuing Lin Chuxia.

The crowd: "Damn! My hubby's going after my wifey! Sob, sob, the wind is so strong on the rooftop. Mom, I'm scared!"

Novel blurb

When Lu Ning first met professional player Xian Chen, the two fought on the Mo family's Mechanism Path. Afterward, Xian Chen received a team invitation from Lu Ning.

Xian Chen: You're too bad at this.

Lu Ning: Even Heaven was moved by my sincerity.

Xian Chen: Maybe Heaven is just blind.

Lu Ning: ...

A year later,

The lackey who had been proven wrong took his girlfriend's hand and grinned like a lovesick fool. "So good, so good! Coach of the champions, teach me your tricks!"

Lu Ning: Get lost!

At the 2020 Spring Split, CELL, a team often mocked as having a "playoff experience pass," won the KPL championship, to everyone's amazement. The players were so excited they cried: "Lu Ning, my goddess!"

A reporter interviewed Xian Chen, captain of CELL: "We often see Ningning tricking other people. Has Big Chen ever fallen for one of her tricks?"

Xian Chen: "Of course!" He looked at his girlfriend beside him, his gaze tender. "I'm perfectly happy to be tricked by her."

What's a championship compared to her? She is my whole world.
