World Superstar [Football]

[Written for love / Sweet romance / Slow updates]

Blurb:

1.

As the youngest Asian Footballer of the Year, Qiao was known for his composure and courtesy. Even when he scored, all he did was smile at the camera.

Except for...

That year, in the AFC Champions League final, Qiao scored a last-second winner.

He sprinted all the way to the stands, vaulted the barrier, and embraced the girl wearing the red-and-gray number 12 jersey.

On the big screen, his eyes glistened with tears.

2.

Qiao made his first-team debut at seventeen and established himself as a regular.

At eighteen, he went to play for a long-established club in Japan's J1 League, keeping Japan's star striker on the bench.

At the time, people called him the future of Chinese football and the light of its forwards.

Then, on his twentieth birthday,

The Asian Football News devoted two whole pages to lamenting the loss of this light of the forwards.

Everyone said, "You're finished."

Only An'an woke him up with a merciless scolding: "What can you do if you retire? You can't do anything. All you can do is fight against football and your injuries."

And only An'an told him with unwavering conviction: "Messi was rejected as a boy because of an illness, and Ronaldo was once written off as a flop because he was physically weak. No one becomes king without facing setbacks."

"Becoming a global superstar is hard."

"Then take the first step and become the superstar of my world."

The stars may fall, but you won't.

Dedicated to everyone who works hard to pursue their career.

Please note:

1. The male lead is mixed-race with blue eyes, born and raised in China.

2. The plot and romance progress side by side, and the romance is definitely sweet!

3. This is a fictional, highly unrealistic romance. Not knowing football may make it easier to read.

4. I'm not a professional. This is my football world, so I make the rules about things like transfers. It's very much an alternate universe (important!).

5. There are no real-life inspirations. Everyone is a god. I know this could never happen in real life, which is exactly why it's a novel.

6. No real-life teams or players are being disparaged. Please don't mention them in the comments either (comments will be deleted).
