[Proud actress X esports superstar]

[Innocent flirt VS arrogant bad boy] [He falls for her first]

01.

Ke Ye is widely recognized as a KPL esports prodigy.

At seventeen, he won the global FMVP title in a popular PC shooter as a professional player. After retiring, he also became the head coach of a KPL team, leading them to victory again and again.

But everyone in the scene knew he did whatever he wanted, and that as a coach, he was notoriously ruthless and sharp-tongued.

When they heard he was about to appear on an esports variety show, with a pampered actress who only played support and refused to train among the trainees he was coaching, everyone worried for the young starlet named Song Zhimian.

Sure enough.

On the day of the competition, Ke Ye dragged her into a room, his face dark with anger.

Not long later, Song Zhimian came back out with red, tearful eyes.

Everyone: Tsk, she must have cried after he scolded her.

02.

After a secretly taken photo turned her from a rising star into a pariah attacked by the entire internet, Song Zhimian had no roles to act in. An esports variety show was the only offer she had left.

Before joining the show, she'd let loose in a game and flirted with a small-time streamer.

He'd entered into a CP partnership with her after all her sweet talk, but he wasn't very enthusiastic about her.

Luckily, he was great at the game. When they queued as a duo, they killed every opponent in their path and climbed the ranks with ease.

The night before the show, Song Zhimian worried her secret would be exposed, so she immediately dumped her CP partner.

But when the show began, her team's coach displayed a familiar streamer ID on the big screen and cornered her beside her seat. His voice was icy as he asked, though he already knew the answer:

“Why aren't you logging in?”

03.

From then on, everyone knew Song Zhimian and Ke Ye didn't get along.

Everyone waited for the day the two of them would have a complete falling-out. Sure enough, after a solo match, Song Zhimian put down her phone with a score of 0/5/0 and glared at the man across from her.

“Don't push your luck.”

Ke Ye didn't get angry. Instead, he laughed, and the two seemed on the verge of a blowup.

But that night, the voice chat from before the match was suddenly leaked.

In the full audio, Ke Ye gently coaxed the girl beside him in a voice softer than anyone had ever heard from him. “How about we change the bet?”

“Every time you lose, you kiss me once?”

Reader's guide: Happy ending. No real-life counterparts. The man is one year older than the woman. Primarily romance, with little esports content.

Theme: There's love in esports, too.
