We Met That Dazzling Summer [Esports]

After the break, the team got a new mid laner with an artsy name.

Shang Qi was pleased at first, because he really liked the new mid laner's ID: Huai Xu, a name that represents summer.

But then he discovered that the guy was a short-tempered little troublemaker!

You're the mid laner! You're the carry! Don't charge into the enemy team alone!

Bai Huai charged in, fully prepared to kill or be killed, and got himself taken out in plain sight.

Before long, the three major esports news platforms were holding an emergency meeting that night: "A powerhouse team hits rock bottom. With poor results and dwindling funds, can their new mid laner lead them back to glory?"

As team captain, Shang Qi couldn't let things continue like this, so he repeatedly tried to set him straight.

The troublesome kid had heard it all so many times his ears were practically calloused. He apologized sincerely and promised to work on it and change.

Shang Qi: Not bad. Good kid. There's hope for you yet.

One day, perhaps because the mood was just right, Shang Qi suddenly asked, "Want to stand together in the golden rain?"

Bai Huai: Why does that sound like a marriage proposal?

Shang Qi: Well... you could take it that way.

Steadfast veteran captain, a fatherly figure adored by all, pursuer x arrogant rookie who only pretends to be a troublemaker, pursued

The plot leans toward realism. This is not a wish-fulfillment story, not a wish-fulfillment story, not a wish-fulfillment story. Important, so I'll say it three times! The main characters and supporting cast will fail and run into problems early on. They will learn to work together and grow little by little.

The story is mainly told from the bottom's perspective, though that will shift around. Actually, it's more of an ensemble story. Everyone gets their own story and is the protagonist of their own life, but it won't get confusing, so enjoy!

The game is a MOBA.

I've only just resumed updating, so updates may be slow or delayed, with a day or two between them. Thank you for understanding.

Happy ending.

I'm a lifelong one-on-one pairing writer. There will never be a tragic breakup. I write sweet stories.

Also, that one-line introduction, the one I don't really understand but you should be able to see, was adapted from a line I really like, though I don't know where it originally came from.

[Coming soon: Ancient History Management Directory]

[The crown of the ancient Yan Kingdom seals away living history.]

As an important employee of the Ancient History Administration, Gu Que travels to historical turning points day after day to correct the chaotic currents of history. But that's only his secondary task. His primary job is to guard a crown from the ancient Yan Kingdom.

Gu Que has been reincarnated thousands of times, and the crown has never caused a problem. Until one day, after finishing his usual work and returning home, he finds an unexpected guest there.

Gu Que: You're saying you came out of this crown?

The young man, dressed in a full set of imperial robes, silently nods.

Gu Que pulls out his phone and calls the director in one smooth motion. He seems to have brought living history to life.

The director's response: He's our boss from now on. Get a few more people to take him through the dungeons.

Gu Que: ?

The Ancient History Administration is loyal to the imperial family of the ancient Yan Kingdom. Wen Guanhui's arrival has suddenly given the institution, founded thousands of years ago, a master, even if he is the infamous tyrant who brought the ancient Yan Kingdom to ruin.

Wen Guanhui can't remember when he was born or when he was sealed away. He only knows that when he opened his eyes again, the world had changed beyond recognition, and he had a new group of subordinates with supernatural abilities.

The turbulent currents of history leave everyone struggling to keep up. They must return to the ancient Yan Kingdom of thousands of years ago, an era recorded in only a few brief lines of history.

Time conceals everything, and the ancient Yan Kingdom holds every truth.

Reader's guide:

1. Gu Que is the top, Wen Guanhui is the bottom. This is a top's-perspective story.

2. Although much of the story takes place in ancient times, this is indeed a modern-day novel.

3. Alternate history, fantasy ancient times, all kinds of supernatural abilities. In short, it's... pretty spectacular?

4. It's very similar to an infinite-flow story. It may or may not be one, but you can read it as one (covering my bases here). It's more or less a dungeon-clearing story, with different perspectives and identities.

5. All the dungeons feature Chinese-style horror. Every single one.

6. That's all. I hope you enjoy reading, and may you prosper!
