[Radiant beauty X sharp-tongued young master]
[First loves for both X rekindled romance X bittersweet sweetness]
In her second year of high school, Xu Fuxing was brought to the new home her mother had made after remarrying. She often heard one name from her stepsister: Qi Sui. Born into a prestigious family and blessed with an exceptionally handsome face, he was the brightest star on campus.
Her stepsister's birthday wish was for Qi Sui to get his heart broken for once. Xu Fuxing rose to the challenge, practicing Honor of Kings until she was ready to stand before Qi Sui and taunt him. “I hear you're the top Luna player in the country. How about a one-on-one?”
Qi Sui looked at her with disdain. Where had this silly, sweet girl come from?
Before long, Xu Fuxing persistently begged Qi Sui to take her on as his student. She openly tried to win him over and secretly confessed her feelings. Then, one dark night, Qi Sui cornered her in a shadowy alley. “Try flirting with me one more time.”
His fingers pinched her cheek until it hurt. Xu Fuxing narrowed her eyes and smiled. “Master, I love you. The weather's hot and dry, so kiss me now.”
Back then, she didn't know you couldn't say you loved someone so casually. Later, when she asked to break up, Qi Sui stood in the pouring rain, head bowed. “Liar.”

Five years later, Xu Fuxing was a washed-up idol who had been shelved by her company for nine months. At last, she got a job recording an esports variety show.
Qi Sui, meanwhile, was a professional jungler at the peak of his career, with over ten million fans and consecutive KPL Most Popular Player awards.
They reunited during filming. The show's rules put Xu Fuxing in a bind, forcing her to ask Qi Sui to team up. “Captain Qi, would you consider letting me join your team?”
Qi Sui gazed at her coolly. “How dare you even ask?”
Not long after, at a celebration banquet, Xu Fuxing got tipsy and accidentally left a lipstick mark on the collar of Qi Sui's shirt. “I'm sorry.”
Qi Sui lifted her chin. “Xu Fuxing, stay away from me.”
After filming wrapped, they thought they would never cross paths again. But when Xu Fuxing's supervisor repeatedly harassed her, and she faced a staggering contract termination penalty after their relationship turned hostile, Qi Sui soon sent her a marriage agreement. “Sign it, and I'll pay your penalty for you.”
Theme: Stay positive. The future will be brighter.
