Jiang Chu, a legendary woman who debuted on her looks alone, was fired by her agency after falling out with her teammates. In the blink of an eye, she went viral on a livestream platform for verbally sparring with people over voice chat.

Jiang Chu: Five hundred to join a call. If you lose the argument, consider it a tuition fee. If you win, I'll mail you my head.

One day, He Chi, a jungler known for his top-tier mechanics and game sense in the LPL, but also for being famously tight-lipped, showed up in her livestream.

[CBG.Hook sent a Treasure Map in the livestream]

CBG.Hook: Teach me how to insult people in one week.

The next day, their face-to-face meeting went nowhere, but a trending topic titled [Hook Jiang Chu + Romance] shot straight to the top.

A video of Jiang Chu and He Chi parting ways after a tense exchange topped the trending page, while curious onlookers flooded the comments.

- Thanks for asking. I've already imagined 800 episodes of him chasing her after a breakup.

- I knew it! How else could He Chi, who hasn't watched a female streamer in centuries, suddenly send her a gift? You two are just a couple having a lovers' spat, right?

- Can this handsome man and beautiful woman be any more perfect together? I approve of this match. Get married right now!

A little extra:

After a Worlds tournament, in Jiang Chu's livestream:

Viewer: CBG has a match today, but the streamer is suspiciously quiet.

Viewer: Nothing happens without a reason. The streamer must be up to something.

Jiang Chu glanced at the comments. "What are you all yelling about? Watch the match."

During the post-match interview at Worlds, the host looked at the interview nightmare, He Chi, and put on a professional fake smile. "Do you have anything to say about today's match, Hook?"

He Chi, expressionless: "No."

Host: ...

He Chi: "But my girlfriend does."

The host's eyes lit up. "Oh? What would she like to say?"

He Chi: "To the players on the other side: I don't know where you got your tickets to Worlds, but with skill like yours, even if my cat played by rolling its face across the keyboard, you'd still be too slow to get a hot bite at the Dragon Pit. If you don't have the skill, then stop making noise at Worlds."

Host: ...

On the other side of the screen, Jiang Chu lifted her chin and smiled. "Isn't my boyfriend handsome?"

[Sweet-faced streamer with a fiery temper x Fake ice prince, real pain in the neck, ice-making jungler]

[Feisty kitty x devoted puppy] (not really)

Reader's Guide:

1. Fictional setting, one-on-one romance, sweet and doting, no real-life inspirations.

2. The heroine makes money by roasting people, and some of her dialogue is harsh. Read with caution!

3. "Ice maker" means someone who makes things awkward and kills the mood, not someone who's actually cold and aloof!

[Sharp, composed female detective x aloof professor]

Gu Ci is one of the finest detectives in the field, and has been rational and composed for as long as anyone can remember.

After once again solving a case perfectly alongside her old friends from the agency, Gu Ci stopped in front of a shop window as she passed by.

The glass reflected her old friends from the agency, laughing and talking behind her. Gu Ci put her hands in her pockets, turned around, and smiled faintly.

That's right... they're all dead.

Survivor syndrome is a form of post-traumatic stress disorder.

Its main symptoms include depression, nightmares, night terrors, and emotional fragility...

Three years ago, an old unsolved case was finally closed, but Gu Ci was diagnosed with survivor syndrome.

What Gu Ci never expected was that the nightmares caused by her survivor syndrome would turn into one instance world after another.

Gu Ci escaped from each world, but the price was growing further and further apart from the things she cherished.

Until the final world began to collapse, and a line of text appeared before Gu Ci's eyes.

[Your treatment is now halfway complete. Please choose your treatment plan going forward.]

Before her was a new world, where she had recovered. Behind her was Bian Yibo, who had accompanied her this far.

Gu Ci: To hell with recovering. I'm done playing.

As she looked back, Bian Yibo asked softly, "Aren't you leaving?"

The towering walls around them crumbled, but Gu Ci smiled. "I'm not leaving. Want to die together for love?"

Bian Yibo stepped forward and laced his fingers with Gu Ci's, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly. "Your call."

Gu Ci laughed. "You're really a madman."

Bian Yibo: "This may sound absurd coming from a psychology professor, but... I like it very much."
