Tennis! The Superstar [Sports]

*Search “Su Wen OOC Reaction Image Collection” on VX to get the little question-mark reaction image! When Su Wen was three, he was diagnosed with an incurable case of being unable to swim (. It was called “incurable” because… His dad was a top-level men’s freestyle swimmer in the country, the kind who’d won an Olympic gold medal. His mom was a top-level women’s freestyle swimmer in the country, and she’d won an Olympic medal too. And Su Wen sank the moment he got in the water :) Born into a family of top athletes who seemed to treat Olympic medals as a household KPI, Su Wen’s parents, grandparents, and maternal grandparents all tried to teach him to swim, but none could save him from his hopeless inability to stay afloat. But it was fine. He’d inherited his parents’ excellent physical abilities, and ever since he was little, coaches from the national team had been fighting to take him on as their star pupil. Little Su Wen solemnly reassured his parents, “So don’t worry! I’ll meet our family KPI and become the world’s best. I won’t let you down!” As soon as he said that, Su Wen inexplicably became bound to a dream-fulfillment System that was supposed to help him become the world’s best. But there was a problem: As a dream-fulfillment System, it couldn’t do a thing. Its only function was to give him money.

The romance starts after the kid grows up. The pairing is set, but the pursuer is a bit of a background character, sob. This romance-challenged author will try to make it sweeter after the story ends ← collapses in tears *There is a System, but as the blurb says, it’s a down-to-earth System that exploits its kid. He still has to rely on his own talent and hard work on the road to fame. Heart~ Theme: People must take responsibility for the things they say throughout their lives.
