My Team's Striker Is a God [KPL Esports]

The upcoming book in my column, My Team's Mid Laner Is Godlike, is now open for follows. A story about the KPL's first female player and a perennial top-tier star. Hope you'll add it to your collection!

Fake-gentle, scheming pro player x softhearted fan girl who pretends to resist his advances

Gu Qingzhou had no idea how she had gradually fallen for him. After spending so much time with Song Chen in a relationship that went beyond the usual idol-and-fan dynamic, she realized too late that he wasn't the sort of person who was gentle even to dogs on his livestream.

She clearly remembered that their relationship began with an awkward New Year's greeting neither of them wanted to remember. How had things suddenly shifted to a variety show recording, with Song Chen cornering her in a camera blind spot and looking at her with pleading eyes as he asked, "Do you really not have even the slightest feelings for me?"

This wasn't an innocent little lamb at all. He was a cunning big bad wolf.

New book in my column: Falling in Love with the Puppy Next Door

Pretends to be a sunny, well-behaved but eccentric young man x A warm older woman who's fierce at home

Shen Zhiyun had lived cautiously for twenty-six years. The only reckless thing she had ever done was let herself get drunk on the night she caught her boyfriend cheating, then have an unexpected encounter with the young man next door whom she had taken in for the night.

To shut Jiang Xinglan up, she decided to accept this new relationship. But she never imagined that someone as reserved as she was would do everything couples do with Jiang Xinglan within a month, willingly taking the lead and turning the tables.

The closer they became, the more Shen Zhiyun felt there was something wrong with Jiang Xinglan's ideas about love.

He said he couldn't bear to see her cry, yet loved her teary eyes. He said he would charge into battle for her, yet wanted to be like a little dog and hide in her room forever. He said everyone was equal in love, yet liked to press close to her neck and softly call her "Master"...

"Sometimes I think my world should have only you in it. You could keep me locked up and raise me like a little dog. Only when my heart and eyes are filled with you like that can I feel safe."

Before he turned fifteen, Jiang Xinglan was an ill-tempered boy who didn't fit in. His strange behavior earned him the nickname Mad Dog from his peers. Even when his parents divorced because of him, and thugs surrounded him in an alley, beat him up, slandered him, and extorted him, he never changed his ways.

Then, one autumn night in high school, he met a woman, and for the first time in his life, he sincerely wanted to change for her.

Her name was Shen Zhiyun. She lived upstairs from him and had a boyfriend she had been dating for a long time.

In all the moments she never noticed, Jiang Xinglan was consumed by jealousy time and again, but she didn't even know his name.

Finally, one day, he got the chance to climb into her bed and see the side of her no one else knew.

He had waited a long time for that day.

"When other people call me a dog, I go mad and bite them. When my big sister calls me a dog, I love her with all my might."

P.S.

The story begins in 2021. I don't remember the exact version of events, so some details may not match reality. At my peak, I was only around 1,800 points, so my skills and understanding may mean I haven't handled some details well.

I've followed competitive gaming for four years and know the stories in this scene inside and out. The novel is therefore closer to the reality of the esports world. My goal is to let readers know that I really do follow the competitive scene!

The cover shows a trophy I photographed at an offline event, so I can prove it.
