My Goal Is to Become an Olympic Champion [Figure Skating]

“Who’s your favorite figure skater?”

“Myself.”

This land once produced a world champion in women’s singles figure skating. Like a grand firework, she shone for just a moment before the sport fell into decline.

When a little girl who could land a triple-triple combination at just twelve burst onto the scene, people seemed to see a tiny spark that was about to set the world ablaze.

She had extraordinary talent, the courage to charge forward without hesitation, unwavering resolve, and a love so intense it was almost madness.

Lu Cening was born to skate.

As women’s singles in domestic figure skating gradually declined, outstanding skaters emerged one after another on the international stage, earning lofty scores and churning out advanced jumps as if wholesale.

The skating fans were never envious. They were waiting for one little girl to grow up.

She would lose to no one.

At her first National Championships, she was the most talked-about young skater. Someone asked her:

“Is there anything you’d like to say to the skating fans who support you?”

The little girl smiled shyly at the camera. “I want to show you more. I want to show you the combination I land for the first time. I want to show you myself competing on the international stage. I want to show you what it looks like when I wear the national flag and stand atop the podium at the Olympics on home soil.”

The day she made good on her promise, the whole country cheered.

Our little purple star kept turning and turning, and before we knew it, she had grown up.

The Axel always moves forward. The cruel, beautiful Biellmann spin. The quadruple jump is the romance of this era.

She first made her mark in the junior ranks during the PyeongChang cycle, then began to shine during the Beijing-Zhangjiakou cycle. Winning gold at the Olympics on home soil was only the beginning of her legendary journey.

She wanted to reach an age when people would call her an old ladies' singles skater and still stand on the ice she loved, pressing a kiss to its surface.

1. The heroine loves nothing but figure skating. The story follows her competitions and everyday moments, with a possible ensemble cast. Her career is the main focus, with little romance. The male lead is He Yanhuai. He appears fairly early, but the romance develops later.

2. The heroine is talented, but hard work matters more than talent. This is a coming-of-age story, and she will face setbacks. None of the characters are based on real people.

3. She is bound to a training-space System. No other golden fingers.

4. The rules combine several different versions, so they are a bit jumbled, and the competitions may differ from reality.

[Coming soon: The Olympic Champion's Daughter Has Come Back]

The kindergarten teacher said, “Children inherit half their traits from their mother and half from their father.”

So little Xia stared into a mirror, troubled all afternoon by her face, which looked almost exactly like her mother's. Finally, she ran home and asked, “Mom, does Dad look just like you?”

Olympic champion Xuan Wange: “...”

Little Xia was born with a gift for figure skating. She stepped onto the ice at three and landed a double jump at five. Everyone thought it was only natural, since her mother was an Olympic champion.

She had no father. In everyone's eyes, her father didn't matter either, because she had inherited her mother's surname, looks, talent, everything.

They said her mother was all about her career. So what was her father?

Ji Qiufang was an atypical college guy. He didn't follow celebrities, but loved competitive sports. He didn't care for soccer, but loved figure skating.

His goddess was his deepest, most closely guarded secret.

One day, he found a little kid who exposed his secret, and from then on, began raising her.

This little kid had come from the future.

This little kid could land double jumps.

Their first meeting.

Little Xia: “Ji Qiufang likes Xuan Wange.”

Ji Qiufang: “Why are you saying something so obviously true?”

Five-year-old little Xia: “...” I get it. So my dad is a hopeless romantic.

Little Xia's mother was a world champion, so Little Xia's future dream was to become one too. But before then, there were things she had to do.

I want to show Dad the little red flower I got for my kindergarten craft project. I don't want the two of us to miss another five years together.

I want to show Mom the talent I inherited from you, and how determined I am to wear the national flag and stand on the podium one day.

I want to show you both that I'm doing well, so you won't regret this future.

[Coming soon: Utopia [Figure Skating]]

Chi Zhengyu had accumulated good karma in her previous life. After dying unexpectedly, she met a System that could grant her one wish.

Chi Zhengyu: “Let me see figure skating in its golden age.”

This was the best era of figure skating. No one had absolute dominance, and anyone could compete for the top spot.

China transformed into a figure-skating powerhouse, while other countries watched it warily. Young skaters were all extraordinarily capable, each trying to bring their country to the top.

Here, advanced triple-triple combinations were only the basics. Without a quadruple jump, you had almost no chance of making it onto the ice.

And Chi Zhengyu was just a pitiful nobody on the verge of being swept away by the competition.

The story began in hell mode, but she thought it was heaven, her eyes shining.

She rolled up her sleeves. No need to say more. Time to get competitive.

She had no chance of setting the first quadruple-jump record, so Chi Zhengyu stroked her chin. “How about I try for a 4A?”

System: “The men's side hasn't even done that yet.”

Every legendary era has its legendary people. Chi Zhengyu was a legend among legends. At first, her talent didn't stand out, and no one would have bet on her.

But later, whenever people spoke of that era, her name was always the first to come to mind.

In an age when the stars shone bright, her brilliance was incomparable.

This was the best era. This was the utopia of her dreams.

“Next up is world champion, Grand Slam winner, two-time consecutive Olympic champion, World Championships champion, Grand Prix Final champion, the first skater to hold the 4A jump record, and current competitor Chi Zhengyu.”

She danced across the ice, facing the sharp edge of the blades.

Even the sweetest dreams can come true. If that ideal land exists, she will reach its summit.

[Coming soon: The Fourth Prince Works as a Wish-Granter Intern at Yonghe Temple]

Emperor Yongzheng, Yinzhen, was a famous workaholic in history.

Even after death, he kept pushing himself to excel. After striving for more than two hundred years, he was finally assigned as an intern at his former residence, Yonghe Temple.

His job was to listen to the wishes of visitors and grant them as appropriate.

Workaholic Yinzhen: “As appropriate? My performance must be perfect. I'll grant every single one of your wishes.”

As for Yinzhen, his father Kangxi called him “unpredictable in his moods.” His motto was simple: as long as the result was right, nothing else mattered.

Recently, there had been a rumor online: Wishes at Yonghe Temple are incredibly effective, but they tend to come true in a slightly unexpected way.

Wish-granter 1: I wished to become fair-skinned, then got into a car accident and spent three months at home with a broken bone. I came out as pale as someone who'd just crawled out of a coffin.

Wish-granter 2: I wished for romance, and three handsome guys confessed to me within a month. Oh, and I'm a man.

Wish-granter 3: I wished to get rich, and my company fired me. I filed a complaint with the labor bureau and got 100,000 in compensation. Now I'm out of a job.

Yinzhen: “This is just how I do things. Tell me, did I make your wishes come true or not?”

He was about to become a permanent employee when, just like his arduous path to the throne in history, a major problem kept him tossing and turning at night.

Pei Tingyue had never believed in ghosts or gods.

A classmate dragged her to Yonghe Temple to make a wish. She stared expressionlessly at her classmate, hands clasped in prayer, and remembered the time she had read Qing-era transmigration novels as a reckless young girl. She started curling her toes in embarrassment.

She thought wryly, “Is it really that effective? Could it make me fall in love with the Fourth Prince?”

The Fourth Prince himself, Yinzhen: “...”

Coworker: “Actually, our company doesn't forbid employees from dating. As long as the other person knows your situation, it's fine.”

Yinzhen: “Knows what situation?”

Coworker: “That you're a workaholic? That it's a love story between a human and a ghost? That you don't have a stable job?”

Yinzhen: “...”

Theme: Talent may leave you, but hard work and sweat will never betray you.
