[Blurb]
Everyone knows Zhou Yan of the LND Club is the KPL's undisputed king of trash talk. He's shamelessly flirtatious and mouths off at everyone, even the team's new silver-haired rookie!
Just as the CP fans were having the time of their lives shipping them, the rookie suddenly transferred to another team. Rumor had it he was kicked out because he was stealing the spotlight from Yan Shen.
The fans of both sides began fighting, turning into the KPL's two most fiercely combative fan groups. They were practically digging up dirt on each other every day.
During a livestream, the silver-haired rookie ran into Zhou Yan in a viewer 1v1. Zhou Yan used a healer to pin him down and kill him more than ten times, then casually asked, "Xiao Yichen, can you stop avoiding me and let me finish what I have to say?"
The rookie's fans were furious: "That's adding insult to injury! He was your teammate, for crying out loud. That's way too harsh!"
But Xu Yichen froze on camera and couldn't get another word out.
During the next transfer window, Xu Yichen transferred back to LND. Fans from both sides spent every day in a state of nervous dread, afraid the club would get blown up one day.
Until one day, a curious viewer sent a Rocket in the livestream chat and asked, "So what exactly is your relationship with Yan Shen?"
Xu Yichen glanced at the comments, the tips of his ears turning red. "There's nothing between us. We're just teammates."
From behind him came Zhou Yan's amused voice: "Just teammates?"
Millions of fans in the livestream heard a chair scrape against the floor. Then the image shook, and a pair of hands clasped together appeared at the edge of the desk.
At the very edge of the frame, two people stood pressed close together, their clothes touching.
The CP fans screamed: "Holy crap! The earth just shook! My ship is canon!"
"Let's clear Yan Shen's name! Anyone who says we're delusional can shut up!"

[Reader's Notes]
◆ Important: There are no real-life inspirations. None. None!
◆ Some parts involve games. There is no specific game-version timeline. The tournament events are partly based on the KPL, with original additions.
◆ The bottom is reserved and not a perfect character. His career has ups and downs, and he grows. This isn't a wish-fulfillment story.
◆ Coming next: Embrace the Movie Emperor. Please add it to your favorites! q(≧▽≦q)
After a car accident, game streamer Luo Chu discovers that he and Shen Yu, the current grand-slam-winning movie star, have swapped bodies.
Shen Yu: the man who only ever cultivates a cold, abstinent image, the sworn enemy of Luo Chu's idol, and the man who told reporters that Luo Chu's idol was only an average actor!
Back then, Luo Chu stood up for his idol. Now he's acting obedient and transforming himself into a devoted fan of Movie Emperor Shen!
Yu Xiao! My idol, I'm so sorry!
Luo Chu instantly turns into a battlefield reporter, infiltrating enemy territory to get the inside scoop!
Weak constitution: got it
Poor social skills: got it
Terrible at games: got it
Pretends to be aloof, secretly a fox: got it
After that, Luo Chu gets his hands on all the entertainment industry's juicy gossip and becomes the King of Gossip, spending time up close with the sources of all the rumors. In other words, he's become a major gossip dealer!
Until one day, while selling gossip, he seems to have sold himself too?
He diligently takes Shen Yu's place on set, but somehow the role feels a little... unusual?
Wasn't the plan to swap bodies with his idol's enemy, get the inside scoop and ruin him, then marry his idol?
How did things end up like this?!
A strong, toned arm suddenly reaches out and pulls Luo Chu over. Shen Yu chuckles beside his ear. "Like what?"
Damn it!
What kind of bullshit is this? If you're going to get all hot and heavy, why bother pretending to be abstinent?
Later, an anonymous fan brings receipts claiming that Shen Yu's gaze toward the popular idol Yu Xiao is suspiciously intense, and an official announcement is probably imminent.
Luo Chu, wearing his King of Gossip secret identity, says, "Fake."
He gets absolutely roasted.
Damn it! That's me! I'm the one who likes Yu Xiao, not Shen Yu!
Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.
Not long after, Shen Yu personally steps in to debunk the rumor:
[Shen Yu: Fake. This is the real one. //@King of Gossip: Fake. //Entertainment Insider: Shen Yu and Yu Xiao may have gone public with their relationship]
Everyone, who only figured it out after thinking it over for ages: ???!!!
[Luo Chu x Shen Yu]
[Cool, cocky, short-tempered game streamer x aloof, abstinent, seriously talented movie star]
Reader's Notes:
1. Body swap. Don't ask why it happened. I want to know too, hahaha.
2. No real-life inspirations. Please don't read anyone into the characters. Thank you for respecting them.
3. 1v1. As for whether it's sweet or angsty, I asked the two leads and they both said there's nothing angsty. If there is, please kill me and nip it in the bud.
4. At heart, this is a lighthearted, silly story. Please go easy on me if the logic doesn't hold up. If it's not funny, just laugh anyway, okay? Otherwise it'll be awkward, though I won't be the one feeling awkward (?).
Theme: The passionate pursuit of dreams by young esports players.
Does the e-sports article not even describe the lineup clearly? Only write about one team but not the other? Nowadays, e-sports articles really don't write about e-sports at all.
I really can't stand it any longer, and I can understand his slow-tempered personality, but the whole story is already over two-thirds of the way and it's going to be over soon, why don't you let the two of them be together????? Looking really anxious
Actually, although SQ is very strong, they are all novices after all. After all, LND has two experienced players. I thought I would win~
Hahahahaha, are you concerned about the bed?
It's not possible to attack this mouth. It will leak when eating or drinking.
I feel like Coach Lin is so targeted, why?
LND Two men? Senior team? My mother's?
By the way, shouldn't LHG be Lao Cucumber? Hahahaha, why is it called Lao Hotpot?
Wuwuwu, why did Zhang Chen become like this? Wuwuwu, give me back my tears.
The LND base only has one more house than other team bases.
