Taming the Wild King

Recently, Shi Jiali and Qin Yetan had been at odds, and neither of them would speak to the other.

Whenever she wanted to relax and have fun, Shi Jiali stopped asking Qin Yetan to play games with her. Instead, she played a few rounds with a boy from their class whenever they had free time.

Qin Yetan couldn't hold back and secretly checked Shi Jiali's game record. Playing with another guy, huh?

Hah, ten losses in a row.

The next time he saw Shi Jiali, he couldn't help making a sarcastic jab: "Even the old man selling vegetables at the market would see you and say, 'What a lousy player.'"

Shi Jiali wasn't about to back down. "If I walked you down the street, even the ladies doing square dancing would praise you: 'What a good dog.'"

The cocky, sharp-tongued number-one jungler on the national server x the beautiful, fearless, quick-witted queen of comebacks

Mutual pining comes true / making up after chasing her / fake replacement romance

When Mu Hexian's boyfriend cheated on her, she was devastated. Then she met Tang Jingchi.

A proud young master, adored by everyone and standing high above the crowd, he captivated Mu Hexian with every gesture.

Tang Jingchi, the "hotshot celebrity" of Qingyu University, was the subject of countless rumors. He was always the talk of the town over meals and tea. His girlfriends came and went, one after another. This carefree playboy had been through countless romances without ever giving away his heart, and no one could hold on to it.

One day at karaoke, quiet Mu Hexian sat in a corner but still ended up at the center of attention.

Everyone had heard some of the rumors about their ambiguous relationship, so they started teasing them, eager to watch the drama unfold.

Some even egged Tang Jingchi on to confess.

A little tipsy, Tang Jingchi looked bored, his smile never reaching his eyes. He didn't take it seriously. "What makes you think someone who's been pursued since childhood would ever be the one to confess?"

After that, Mu Hexian steeled herself and stopped indulging in unrealistic hopes about him.

When they met again, Tang Jingchi kept showing up around her, time and again.

Still stung by what he'd said back then, Mu Hexian deliberately kept her distance.

Until her ex-boyfriend appeared.

One night, the usually immaculate Tang Jingchi stood blocking the entrance to her home, reeking of alcohol. His right hand clenched into a fist against the door, veins bulging on the back of his hand.

He held back, keeping his voice controlled. "Mu Hexian, am I your replacement?"

A moment later, she heard him mumble in defeat, head hanging. "Then... could you let me be your replacement for the rest of your life?"
