The Big Shot Says She Can't Play Tennis

Ye Ran, a former professional player ranked number one in the WTA.

On the eve of her wedding to her boyfriend, the heir to a powerful business family, her soul transmigrates into the body of a thirteen-year-old Japanese middle school student.

Faced with something so unscientific, Ye Ran tells herself to stay calm. Then she sees a tennis match:

An impossibly beautiful silver-haired Mary Sue takes out Ryoma Echizen, a teenage champion from America, in an instant with a tennis shot that sends cherry blossoms swirling everywhere.

Ye Ran (no longer calm):

What are these flashy special effects? Girl, is it really okay to play tennis with your hair flying all over the place? And all you regulars on the sidelines, please stop trying to explain this away. Can't you just admit this is magic?!

"Can you hit a laser shot? Make flames, gusts of wind, or ice appear when you play?"

"No..."

"Can you hit a ball through a racket, a wire fence, and a wall?"

"No..."

"With your level of play, you're just an extra. How dare you challenge the manager? You should know that the top players from every school have all lost to her!"

Ye Ran: (╬ಠ益ಠ) Doesn't mean I can't smash every last one of you!

From then on, Japanese junior tennis welcomed a big shot who was the best at playing dumb to catch her opponents off guard.

Before every match, she would joke that she couldn't play fantasy tennis. Then, using her thoroughly ordinary style, she'd turn every magic-wielding opponent into a mere Muggle.

After Mary Sue took over Seigaku, strange things began happening at schools all over Japan.

The king of Hyotei and the entire tennis club fell at a woman's feet. They even stopped playing tennis and got caught up in the troubles of love...

A gentle beauty transferred into Rikkai in her third year. In her previous life, she'd been in love with the Child of God for years and finally married him, only to die full of resentment because of his beloved first love. Now she's reborn at fourteen...

Ye Ran (freaking out): W-why is this plot getting weirder and weirder? Isn't this supposed to be a hot-blooded sports series?

Reader's Guide:

1. Plot and romance. Be warned: the female lead has a partner in the real world and will not accept a romantic relationship with anyone in the Prince of Tennis world! The male leads go from indifferent (or even hostile) to getting face-slapped and falling for her, but their feelings are one-sided.

2. Matches and everyday life. The premise: The strongest player uses a straightforward style that incorporates modern tennis tactics. The big shot plays without special effects, but her incredible tennis IQ lets her crush those fantasy players.

3. The story has three arcs: Seigaku, Hyotei, and Rikkai. The female lead isn't the only one who transmigrates. Each arc features different classic fanfic heroines: a Mary Sue, a seductive queen of hearts, and a woman reborn.

4. The story has a crossover fantasy setting. The female lead has a Pretty Cure secret identity, and the final villain isn't human.

5. Cover art drawn by the author. Action scenes are based on references.

Theme: Sweep away fantasy tennis and restore the glory of Muggle tennis!
