Synopsis

-

During the Alliance Summer Split, the restructured FTO team qualified for the Challengers Cup for the first time in five years.

Their captain and jungler, General, aka Wen Jiang, shot to fame overnight.

He was handsome and incredibly skilled, but his mouth was the one thing that earned his team a ton of hate.

Even so, countless fans were still crying and begging to have his babies.

Wen Jiang: Do I look like a monkey to you?

-

Xu Anning first met Wen Jiang at an FTO autograph session. Countless fans skipped his spot, leaving him sitting there all alone.

There was a term for it: skipping someone's autograph line.

Xu Anning stood in front of him and cheered him on. "Sun, I'll always be your fan. Keep it up!"

Wen Jiang, who'd been saving her a place in line: ???

_

When they met again, Xu Anning became FTO's team manager while researching her graduation thesis on "The Relationship Between Esports and Youth Development." That's when she realized she'd mistaken him for someone else back then.

She learned his name was Wen Jiang.

She also learned he had a bad temper.

Xu Anning was timid, and didn't even dare talk to him.

She thought their connection would end as soon as the Challengers Cup was over, but she hadn't expected to fall for him.

At the tail end of summer, FTO held the trophy aloft beneath a shower of golden confetti, achieving their goal: FOR THE ONE, winning the championship.

After the post-match interview, someone spotted the brazen, untamed young man, who seemed to have no limits, indulging the bashful girl in his arms as she acted cute.

"Wen Jiang, you're amazing!"

"Wen Jiang, I like you so much!"

So sickeningly sweet!

[Bonus Scene]

Xu Anning accidentally logged into Wen Jiang's main account and ended up in a ranked match.

Amid a chorus of "Jungle king, carry me" and other flirty pleas, she picked Princess Yao.

Wen Jiang raised an eyebrow behind her.

"What do I do now?"

"Want me to help you?"

"...Yeah."

"Then let me hear you act cute."

Yao: Why are you always clinging to me~

1.

When they were young:

Jiang Niannian first met Xu Nuo at the birthday party of the person she had a crush on.

Xu Nuo made his entrance in a wine-red suit, dressed so outrageously that he ruined the party.

Her friend pointed at Xu Nuo and said to Jiang Niannian, "Look, the youngest young master of the Xu family. Isn't he dazzling?"

Jiang Niannian scoffed. "He'll screw himself to death sooner or later."

Xu Nuo heard his buddies' assessment of Jiang Niannian: "The Jiang family's eldest daughter really is the picture of Beijing's socialites: radiant, graceful, and elegant."

Xu Nuo sneered, "A fake drama queen."

The two were like fire and water. A little bickering was fun, but a big fight hurt... Xu Nuo.

The two had grown up under the watchful eyes of both families.

When Jiang Niannian was made to cry, Xu Nuo got beaten up;

when Xu Nuo was made to cry, Xu Nuo still got beaten up.

Their grudge was set in stone, and even going abroad one after the other didn't resolve it.

2.

Years later.

Jiang Niannian never expected to run into Xu Nuo under those circumstances.

At the airport parking lot, Xu Nuo had his arm around a busty beauty. Dressed outrageously and driving an even flashier supercar, he called out to her, "Miss, need a ride?"

"A two-seater supercar and three people. That's too cramped."

Xu Nuo handed the beauty a check and broke up with her on the spot. "It's not cramped now."

It became a trending topic.

Their mutual friends didn't think much of it. "Those two have the kind of relationship where they could sleep naked in the same bed and still just cover themselves with a blanket and chat."

The entertainment news was nonsense.

3.

That was, until Miss Jiang's crush went all out to arrange a proposal, causing an uproar among their circle of friends.

Young Master Xu's buddy said, "You're finally free."

Xu Nuo sneered inwardly: Free my ass. She's my wife.

That night, Xu Nuo kept Jiang Niannian up all night, poring over the pet names on their marriage certificate.

"Call me hubby. Let's hear it."

"Get lost."

"As you wish. Let's get lost together, between the sheets."

Their friends woke up and saw wedding photos flooding their feed, staring in shock.

Had the sky fallen?
