A gaming-obsessed teenager, Li Xiaoqiu, is invited to become an esports player. He's over the moon, until someone tells him he's only a substitute.
Always self-reliant and eager to fight for himself, Li Xiaoqiu decides... to cling to his big brother's coattails. He sneaks into his brother's club.
But the moment he pushes open the door, he hears:
Lu Yiran: "Li Yun, tell your brother to get lost. With skills like his, if he starts, there's no way we'll win the championship."
"!?" Li Xiaoqiu is furious. Who are you looking down on? He immediately pulls out his phone and opens his main account. After one look, he immediately switches to his alt.
So what if he's bad? ...Admitting he's bad is better than getting hunted down.
When Lu Yiran sees the new starting player, everything about him is irritating except for his decent looks.
Until the Sniping God comes running to the club entrance, pitifully calling Li Xiaoqiu a "scumbag."
The former three-time champion tells thousands of fans in his livestream that the one he loves is Li Xiaoqiu.
The number-one comeback player confesses to Li Xiaoqiu before a match.
Only then does Lu Yiran realize that Li Xiaoqiu is the very same national server's number-one scumbag who once stirred up the CrossFire scene and broke hearts.
"Li Xiaoqiu, don't you think you owe me an explanation?" Lu Yiran waves his phone at the seemingly well-behaved boy.
"An explanation for what?" How could innocent Li Xiaoqiu possibly know what's going on?
"For stealing my heart and my body back then."
A pretending-to-be-weak, tiger-in-disguise bottom, Li Xiaoqiu, × a handsome, strong, reserved, tsundere top, Lu Yiran
