He Pulled Me Back and Said I Was an Olympic Champion

[Main story complete]

Qu Chi had outstanding athletic talent from a young age. Her figure skating coach praised her steady balance and musicality, while her track coach said she had explosive power and excellent stamina.

But Qu Chi knew that every coach had a second half to their praise.

“Qu Chi has real talent. It's a shame she was born in the same era as them...”

For some people, being a genius is the bare minimum.

Qu Chi studied figure skating for four years. The year her older sister, Qu Tang, won a championship, she switched to track and field. After six years of training for the 100-meter sprint, she encountered Zhou Xinwen, a prodigy who had joined the national team at fourteen.

Her life seemed like a joke. No matter how unwilling she was or how hard she worked, she could only watch the backs of the geniuses and receive a sigh from everyone else.

Then Qu Chi began to have the same dream over and over. In it, she ran endlessly around a 400-meter track that stretched on without end. The race seemed as if it would never finish until she had passed every competitor.

She met fans who supported her all along. She met a coach who treated her like a treasure. She switched events once more, staying in sprinting but moving to the longer 400 meters. This time, she finally had the chance to stand alone at the summit, and even become the mountain that touched the sky.

Qu Chi ran from the Grand Prix to the World Championships, then to the Olympics and the world record. She was the strongest champion on the track.

Beneath the bright moon, she was the most brilliant moon in the night sky, not a star.

Romance synopsis:

No stars shine around the brightest moon.

Qu Chi thought the best ending she could hope for was to be abandoned by sprinting and retire unnoticed.

But on that rainy day, someone held an umbrella over her head, shielding her from the downpour, and said he had come only for her.

Later, she stood on the podium and watched her faith soar high above her.

And just as he had promised, he kept chasing her from behind, like a planet drawn by the sun.

“If you're only coming to see me, you can take your time.”

“I'll start waiting the moment the starting gun fires. I'll make my heartbeat match your footsteps, because I don't want you to see how flustered I am. I don't want you to realize... the finish line is right ahead.”

[Offering my faith, may you always chase the light you love]

Reader's guide:

[No real-life models]

[Records, dates, competitions, countries, and place names are all fictional. No need to point out similarities. Sometimes I use names that sound like real ones to mark spots in my outline and make sure I don't lose track of the plot.]

[Event changes: figure skating → 100-meter sprint → 400-meter sprint. Is this a story about finally finding the track she loves most? Mwahahaha.]

[Romance story, focused on the heroine's career and growth. The romance is limited, so I hope you don't mind the hero having very little screen time [scratches head].]

[The heroine is a junior athlete at first. There will be no romance before she reaches adulthood.]
