The Nation's First Love × Genius Esports Player
Sweet, clingy, and a chatterbox who excels at everything × A taciturn esports god who'd rather settle things with his hands than his words
Xia Zhili × Lin Bai
-
"She shone like a star in the sky, so close and yet so far."
-
The first time Xia Zhili saw Lin Bai was during a livestream of the finals of the peak Asian tournament. Ribbons fluttered through the air, and at center stage, a young man held a silver trophy aloft.
The confidence in his eyes, along with the young man himself, made its way into Xia Zhili's heart.
But as dazzling as that star was on its rise, so desolate was its fall.
The day Lin Bai announced his retirement, his fan group argued all night, and Xia Zhili quietly cried all night.
"Xia Zhili will never like Lin Bai again!"
The feelings of a young girl were pressed deep into the pages of her diary.
-
A few years later, Xia Zhili shot to fame and became the Nation's First Love. All traces of Lin Bai vanished from the esports scene.
When Xia Zhili saw Lin Bai again, his baseball cap was pulled low, and the raised collar of his windbreaker hid most of his face. Beneath the strands of hair on his forehead were a pair of dark, deep-set eyes.
Two parallel lines crossed once more thanks to an esports variety show. The former esports god became the exclusive coach of a rising star.
He stayed by her side as she took abuse and got beaten up, and even as they both "hung themselves on the southeastern branch." He seemed inexplicably happy to do it, but no one ever noticed the smiling eyes beneath his baseball cap.
-
Lin Bai returned to the stage and led Team TC all the way to the World Championship. Four years later, the young man once again lifted the championship trophy.
Amid the screams and cheers of countless fans, an incongruously melodious tune began to play. The young female voice softly singing along sounded especially youthful.
Lin Bai, who had just won the championship and the MVP title, lost the sharpness in his eyes, leaving only tender affection.
"I promised I'd propose to you once you'd finished reading all the letters." Lin Bai pulled an envelope from his breast pocket and waved it at the livestream camera. "This is the last one, Miss Xia Zhili. Will you marry me?"
One thousand and one letters, and every one of my feelings.
-
"But I know there are postal workers in the sky, too.
Those letters filled with love will always find their way into her hands."

This is the next book I'll be writing! Half a Tael Beneath the Moon, a marriage-first, love-later romance. Come check it out in my author profile!
At twenty-one, Yu Xian set foot on her homeland once more after many years away.
She had flown halfway around the world to find her older brother, who shared both parents with her, but whom she hadn't seen in years.
When she landed at the airport in Yuancheng, Yu Xian spotted a sign with her name on it and hurried over without a second thought.
She tugged at the hem of a man's clothes. "Hello, big brother."
"Your brother's over here." Yu Heng pulled his sister away from the man she'd mistaken for him. "And I'm not doing so well, either."
Yu Xian forgot all about the touching reunion after a long journey. All she could remember was the man's cool, clear voice, like tea brewed beneath falling snow.
He seemed to chuckle as he pinched the cuff of Yu Xian's sleeve and gently freed himself. "Miss, you've got the wrong person."
Later, for no apparent reason, he added,
"I'm Chen Yixun."
-
Chen Yixun was twenty-seven, a professor of criminal psychology at the Yuancheng Public Security University. He was not only successful in his career, but also tall and handsome, a refined and gentlemanly intellectual.
Yu Xian needed to get married.
Chen Yixun perfectly matched all her requirements, and since he was close at hand, he would be easier to win over.
So she used her brother as an excuse again and again to shower Chen Yixun with attention.
The man rejected her every time.
"Yu Xian, it's no use wasting your time on me."
Yu Xian denied it. "Time is money. No amount of money can buy the pleasure of doing what I want."
"Yu Xian, you don't understand the kind of person I am."
"..."
-
Chen Yixun thought Yu Xian was a delicate rose, one to be coaxed, cherished, and nurtured.
But when the rose escaped from his palm, the thorns on its stem sank deep into his flesh.
It hurt, sour and bitter, mixed with blood.
When he saw Yu Xian again,
he cast aside his refined manners and gentlemanly restraint. The side of himself he was ashamed of came fully to the fore, and all he wanted was to hold on to her, as tightly as he could.
Even if the rose's thorns had already left his palms bloody and mangled.
"I've changed my mind. Spending time with you was never a waste."
The man toyed with Yu Xian's earlobe, watching her ear turn red inch by inch. "Let's go home, wife."
