I'll Give You Both Glory and Me [Esports]

[My upcoming stories, First to Flirt Wins and Tempted into Spoiling, are open for favorites in my collection! Blurbs at the bottom.]

Gu Ran, a handsome, hugely popular top player, retired amid controversy over his career.

When he reappeared, he was the newly appointed head coach of the LPCG Club.

Leading a new team as a dark horse, he made a powerful comeback and won the national KPL championship.

Rookie streamer Lu Yao was one of Gu Ran's tens of millions of fans. She thought they would never cross paths.

But during a fan-versus-pro-am match, she made an astonishing discovery:

The wealthy friend who had long held the top spot on her fan ranking

was actually the gaming Mount Everest she'd always secretly admired?

She'd been content to stop at friendship, until she saw his championship interview.

Host: "Could you tell us why you retired back then, God Ran?"

Gu Ran looked into the camera and answered with confidence and carefree abandon: "For someone wearing a championship ring."

Before long, the team's CP pairing was all over the internet.

Only Lu Yao sat in stunned silence, her face red, after touching the ring on her finger.

At last, she worked up the courage to approach him, carefully and tentatively,

not knowing that he had been laying the groundwork for their reunion for years.

Then Lu Yao discovered that he was the owner of her livestream, the genius from her high school, and the secretly sulky one, too?

LPCG Club.

Lu Yao flipped through the schedule and asked the handsome, impeccably dressed man beside her, "What's the plan for what's coming up?"

Gu Ran: "I want to keep fighting alongside you all the way to the peak of glory."

Upcoming Story 1: First to Flirt Wins, a sweet entertainment-industry romance. Blurb:

The two people at the top of the "Least Likely Couple" ranking were exposed by paparazzi.

When the explosive news hit the trending charts, a passerby wondered: Isn't it just a relationship announcement? Why make such a big fuss and keep it trending all day?

Fans on both sides rushed to deny the rumors:

"Our Zhizhi is a top-tier star, the nation's first-love face, and focused on her career. Don't @ us."

"Thanks, but no thanks. Our man has three major awards under his belt and is the youngest actor ever to win the Young Actor Award. We're not even in the same league. Don't ride his coattails."

The top comment in the replies read: Is this the ultimate crack ship?

One has the striking looks of a beloved white moonlight, the other is a delicate beauty. One's acting is horrendous, the other's a master of serious dramas. Both are top-tier stars, but one is surrounded by rumors while the other has been a confirmed bachelor for ages. Before this, the two had never been publicly photographed together.

The commenter wrapped up with a photoshopped picture of them together: They look so good together. I know it's fake, but I'm shipping them until the denial comes out.

After a messy contract termination, Zhao Ranzhi was broke and went to find Lu Maoxing three times of her own accord.

The first time, she barged in and gave the person responsible a furious scolding, then proceeded to insult Lu Maoxing, the "accomplice" standing nearby, until he was worth less than dirt. They parted on bad terms.

The second time, Zhao Ranzhi showed up at the signing ceremony for her new company. That night, she posted a moody message to her social media: "What do you do when you badmouth your boss to his face on your first day at work? Asking urgently. Can I still terminate my contract now?"

Lu Maoxing, saved in her contacts as "Boss," replied instantly: "My objective advice is to work hard and try to earn lenient treatment as soon as possible."

Zhao Ranzhi was furious at being played: "Speak like a normal person."

A knock sounded at the door just then. Lu Maoxing stood outside, looking languid and alluring, his voice low: "To put it simply, come make it up to me."

The third time, Zhao Ranzhi, the company's hardest worker, was at a critical point in her comeback. After seeing a breaking news story, she got off the plane and went straight to Lu Maoxing's film set.

Breathless, she explained, "I didn't give them those photos. I wasn't trying to stir up publicity or ride your fame."

Lu Maoxing calmly changed into his costume, his gaze deep and unreadable. "I know. I gave them the photos. This time, I wanted to ride your coattails."

Staff member: I think I just heard something pretty shocking from Mr. Lu.

A year later, after successfully changing her image with three hit projects, Zhao Ranzhi decisively blocked him everywhere and felt wonderfully refreshed.

When someone brought up the old rumors, Zhao Ranzhi posted boldly:

"I don't do publicity stunts. I'm focused on my career."

Not long afterward, a text arrived from another person caught in the middle of a public scandal:

"Learned how to act and now you think you can run? No way."

At the film awards, Lu Maoxing and Zhao Ranzhi each won the Galaxy Award for Best Actor and Best Actress.

That night, Lu Maoxing posted right at the time they had first met, announcing his relationship with @Zhao Ranzhi:

"For all the days to come, may the moonlight remain as it was at the start."

Everyone: I knew that crack ship that was all the rage back then was real!

Upcoming Story 2: Tempted into Spoiling, a sweet romance. Blurb:

In college, Chu Xin secretly had a crush on Cheng Zheyuan for three years. No one knew.

On the first day of his freshman year, Cheng Zheyuan effortlessly became the center of everyone's attention.

He was carefree and uninhibited, and there was never a shortage of girls who liked him.

She was calm and reserved, ordinary and content, and quietly buried her feelings for someone like him deep inside.

One was a good girl who followed the rules and studied hard; the other was a carefree rebel who went his own way.

But he said it was just for fun, and she took him seriously.

After they broke up, everyone thought the two of them would never cross paths again.

Until they met again at an alumni gathering years after graduation.

The young man's boldness was still there, though time had left a few marks on his face.

When he wouldn't leave her alone, Chu Xin chose to hide from him and keep her distance.

Cheng Zheyuan had always been a gentleman with women and had never lost his temper. For the first time, his eyes reddened with anger as he pinned her against the wall in the fire escape.

"Why should it be over just because you say so?"

Chu Xin turned her head away from his hot breath and said softly, "Because it was only for fun."
