While Shi Jing is gaming:

Gaming buddy: "Top-ranked god, carry me!"

"Grinding for rewards? I'll keep you company."

"Going to the offline tournament? Let's meet up."

*

While Shi Jing is livestreaming:

Top fan: Moderator [Fried Fish] has permanently muted "Assorted Delicacies Uses Hacks, Die".

[Fried Fish] sent streamer Assorted Delicacies 10 Super Rockets.

"Play me a song, Red Bean."

"A Jing, carry me in ranked!"

Shi Jing: "I have a gaming buddy. We get along really well."

Jian Yuchao: That's me.

Shi Jing: "There's a rich guy in my livestream. Watching him spend money makes me nervous."

Jian Yuchao: That's me too.

The Serious Blurb

Shi Jing, a third-year university student who loves gaming, became an amateur streamer by a twist of fate, thanks to the game Cloud Hidden Jianghu. On her very first day streaming, a mysterious level-zero account called [Fried Fish] showered her with 100,000 yuan in gifts.

All Shi Jing could say was, "Hey, are you even old enough to be here?"

NGame, the company behind Cloud Hidden Jianghu, held an offline tournament. Shi Jing arranged to meet up with her gaming buddy, but who could've guessed... her gaming newbie would turn out to be the boss of the gaming company!

All Jian Yuchao could say was, "I had no ulterior motives. I just wanted to learn from you." Do you believe him?

After they start living together:

"We'll get our marriage license and have the wedding after graduation." Jian Yuchao braced his hands on the armrests of the gaming chair, boxing Shi Jing in.

"Isn't that too soon?" Shi Jing picked at her fingers.

"Really? I think we've already waited too long. We're past the legal age to marry." Jian Yuchao leaned closer, and the atmosphere instantly turned intimate.

Shi Jing's eyes darted around. She pressed one hand against his chest and smiled. "One-on-one. If you can beat me, I'll marry you."

1. Song Huailin saw Yin Wan again at a charity gala. He realized that the little girl from back then, once abandoned by everyone, had grown into a dazzling red rose admired by all.

She spotted him too. With a curl of her red lips, she picked up her wineglass and walked over to him. "Hello, Mr. Song."

It was hello, not long time no see.

Song Huailin realized he wasn't feeling all that great.

2. That charity gala wasn't the only place Yin Wan had seen Song Huailin again. For all these years, she had run into him practically everywhere.

Magazines by the roadside, ads in shopping malls, trending topics on Weibo...

She'd seen him so often that when they finally met again, she could offer him an elegant, flawless "hello."

3. The award-winning movie star was making his television debut, and his first co-star was Yin Wan, the award-winning television actress.

A powerhouse pairing, attracting attention both inside and outside the industry.

At the press conference, a reporter asked, "What was your first impression of each other?"

Yin Wan smiled professionally. "Very handsome."

Song Huailin paused for a few seconds, then replied, "A pretty little wildcat."

Yin Wan froze at his answer, as did all the reporters gathered around them.

Was that really the sort of thing a straight-faced movie star would say?

4. At Yin Wan's tenth-anniversary fan event, the movie star Song Huailin, her rumored boyfriend, made a surprise appearance.

Host: "Mr. Song, have you heard the recent rumors about you and Wanwan?"

Song Huailin nodded. "I have."

"Anything you'd like to say? This is a good chance to clear things up."

Song Huailin calmly swept his gaze over the audience before settling it on Yin Wan in the center. Word by word, he said, "Wanwan and I aren't together..."

Yin Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was about to put on an impeccable smile when the man onstage paused, then added, "I'm pursuing her."

The whole venue erupted.

5. A month after the tenth-anniversary fan event, the movie star changed the profile pictures on all his public accounts to a photo of the two of them together.

His fans were the first to notice. They clicked on it and saw a picture of the movie star with Yin Wan, the award-winning TV actress.

And so, the rumors became reality.

Later, in an interview for a magazine featuring the couple, a reporter asked how their feelings for each other had begun.

Yin Wan: "Love grew with time."

Song Huailin: "Love at first sight."

It was love at first sight, ten years late.
