This Esports Streamer Really Knows How to Talk

[Queen of the Streamer Scene X Pro Esports Jungler, complete]

On an ordinary streaming day, Jiang Routi clicked the matchmaking button. Over the past two years, her pretty face and goofy personality had made her one of the platform's top female streamers. That day, she borrowed a viewer's account to play a MOBA match.

"Is the support a pro player? Are they smurfing?"

Sure enough, the support played like a god of war, easily carrying her ADC to victory. As the enemy's crystal exploded, she saw their support type in all chat: "Long time no see."

"???"

Only after checking the match history and profile did it dawn on her: wasn't this the ex who'd vanished off the face of the earth after dating her for three days?

Jiang Routi and several of the platform's top streamers were invited to a celebrity match event. When she saw that Shen Yun had been assigned to her team, her eyelid twitched. The match began. She controlled the healer and focused on supporting him from behind, while her mind was already filled with filthy fantasies.

The moment they destroyed the enemy's crystal, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness. He doesn't remember." When the event ended, she had just reached the backstage area when Shen Yun pulled her into a small, dark room.

"Didn't you brag that you were going to kiss me until I passed out?"

An absurd scene unfolded on a local public-affairs program.

[An unknown person used a female streamer's photos to catfish men online. After the scammed man ran into the streamer at a restaurant, he immediately called the police and insisted she'd run off with 300,000 yuan.]

Seeing Jiang Routi on camera, looking like she might cry, the viewers burst into laughter:

Isn't that the big streamer Ms. Jiang? Hahaha!

Little Routi, sorry we had to meet like this, hahaha!

When viewers saw the scam victim's boyfriend being interviewed, they began to suspect something was off:

Wait, that voice... Is that Shen Yun?

[After seven years of waiting, we meet again]

[When I was at my lowest, you were a ray of light in my dark life]

Reader's Guide:

1. Goofy beauty streamer X esports god jungler. First-love setting, both leads are sexually inexperienced, and they reunite years later. The story contains potentially upsetting elements, so please be kind.

2. They missed each other when they were young, and save each other in both directions. Be warned: the story has melodramatic elements. The heroine has a golden finger and is wonderfully overpowered. There's a small misunderstanding early on, and the leads spend a long time testing each other and dancing around their feelings. A second male lead has an unrequited crush during the male lead's absence, and so on.

3. The game's model is League of Legends. Some PC and console games will also appear. The setting is fictional with no real-life models; the teams and members are all original creations. There won't be much detailed gameplay, so readers who don't play games can enjoy it too.

[Here's the blurb. Expected to launch in September.]

Cheng Lucy is a successful young office worker who has already risen to an executive position. Cash, stocks, an executive title... Cheng Lucy feels financial freedom is finally within reach.

Then she transmigrates into a book.

When she wakes up, she discovers that she's become a minor, pure-hearted beauty in a novel: delicate, soft-skinned, fair, and gorgeous, with not a trace of a 996 work schedule about her. Her office-worker instincts kick in, and she immediately opens all the major banking apps. When she sees her balance, her eyes roll back:

"Damn it, after working for so many years, I still don't have as much as someone else's spare change."

"Bro, that woman Luxi has been acting really weird lately."

When Shen Cichao heard this report, he hadn't thought much of it. He casually asked, "...How so?"

The underling who'd come to report was puzzled too. "She stopped pestering people to let her act. She says she's going to start a business."

"Start a business?" The man thought of how Luxi had once coquettishly said she wanted to open a shop, and didn't take it seriously. "Oh, she wants to open a coffee shop, right?"

The underling shook his head, then pulled out a notebook filled with jargon. "Her assistant said a lot of things I didn't really understand, like angel rounds, end-to-end integration, mindshare conversion..."

Shen Cichao nearly fell off the sofa. ???

After returning to the Shen family home, Shen Cichao was summoned to the study by the legendary old man, once a force to be reckoned with. Old Mr. Shen still remembered his old friend's granddaughter. "Pay more attention to that girl from the Lu family. It's not easy for a young girl to make her way in the industry alone."

Shen Cichao looked exasperated. "Grandpa, it's not that I won't help her. Luxi doesn't need my help at all now."

"Nonsense!" Old Mr. Shen was annoyed. "Don't think I don't know. I haven't seen her acting on screen in ages!"

Shen Cichao stopped arguing and tossed a magazine in front of Old Mr. Shen. "She's on the cover of Forbes now. She doesn't need my help at all."

The old man: ???
