A Feast Among the Stars

[This book will be completed on July 6]

Yan Yan worked hard for her dream and finally debuted, only to end up the least popular member of her group. People kept spreading rumors that she was a pretty face who had risen through the ranks by sleeping her way to the top.

Later, when the group members began pursuing solo activities, her many haters eagerly awaited her downfall. Instead, they watched her enter a talent competition and make a comeback. She could set the stage on fire, hit soaring high notes, and deliver rap, then smoothly claim the center position with a lead so huge that no one else came close.

Her rival went to great lengths to claim that she was being kept by entertainment mogul Yan Yi.

Yan Yi: [She's my biological daughter. I don't support her taking this path, and I've never sent her a single cent.]

They also accused her of bullying her former teammate, Gu Duoyuan.

Gu Duoyuan: [Don't start. I freeloaded in her apartment for three years, and I'm not ready to move out yet.]

Then came the news that she might be dating Yu Yanzhi, the gorgeous esports star who had just won another domestic grand slam.

Yu Yanzhi: [It's a secret crush. I haven't confessed, and I don't dare pursue her because I'm afraid of holding back her career.]

Yan Yan: This is bad, this is bad. The dream where my male idol's tens of millions of fans chase me down the street for ten blocks is about to come true.

But when she checked the comments, she saw Yu Yanzhi's fans confronting him relentlessly: [Didn't you say you'd waited ten years for someone? So what if she's a three-time world champion? So what if she's the most popular? So what if she's the undisputed ace? You still changed your mind! You're a scumbag!]

Yu Yanzhi replied: [Thanks for asking. It's her.]

A doted-on group sweetheart who acts cute offstage but rules the stage as an all-around ace × a gentle, scheming esports champion and team captain, once a troubled teenager and later the bossiest member of his team.

Occasionally swoony, often satisfying, and definitely sweet. They have both had a crush on each other for years.

"I've liked you for many years."

Extra scene:

Yan Yan had heard that Yu Yanzhi used to be a "troubled teenager" in middle school. She hadn't expected it to be true.

So when Yu Yanzhi told her what had really happened and locked the car doors, Yan Yan blurted out, "Are you going to kill me to keep me quiet?"

Yu Yanzhi unfastened his seat belt, leaned close, and kissed her near the lips. "I want to keep you quiet."

1. The male lead is a good person. He does not bully the weak.

2. The characters are original and have no real-life inspirations. The esports setting is original, and the story takes place in 2030. Please don't compare it to or project it onto real life.

3. I made up the lyrics for the songs by the original characters myself. Please don't laugh if they're not beautiful, don't rhyme, are incomplete, or aren't professional. Waaah.

Theme: Love gives people the resolve to keep moving forward.
