The Goddess Leaves Her Pedestal (Female Lead) | Esports
[Calm, composed, strong older woman × passionate, sunny red-haired puppy]
At sixteen, Ji Shixu fell in love at first sight.
His head was a mess of dyed, multicolored hair, and he was holed up in some dingy internet cafe. But for just one brief second, his attention wandered.
The older girl standing on the pedestal, lifting the global championship trophy for China, was etched into his memory.
It was the only moment of clarity in years of drifting through life. So at eighteen, he did whatever it took to make his way to her side.
"Big Sis, I'm your new substitute. I look forward to working with you."
But at twenty-three, Zhong Wanyi wanted nothing to do with him.
She didn't like the new substitute on the team. He was too passionate, so intense he was nearly scorching her.
Zhong Wanyi wanted to run. She put him down, ignored him, and even treated him unfairly. But Ji Shixu still inched closer to her, step by step.
That feeling of fate left her feeling strangely lost.
Ji Shixu even laid his heart bare before her, but Zhong Wanyi turned away, retired, and left the country.
When they meet again, the puppy who used to trot around at Zhong Wanyi's heels, tail wagging, has grown into an esports star who can stand on his own.
At last, Ji Shixu has the chance to stand proudly by Zhong Wanyi's side, striving with her to claim one final moment of glory before her official retirement and return that fallen star to her pedestal.
Beneath the trophy, Zhong Wanyi speaks of her past for the first time, then looks at Ji Shixu.
"Perhaps my past never taught me how to love someone. But luckily, he gave me the ability to love him."
[Reader Advisory]
1. GB! GB! GB!
2. Older woman/younger man romance. The female lead is extremely strong; there is no setup where the woman is strong but the man is stronger. The female lead has a bit of a harem-of-admirers quality.
3. Both are virgins, happy ending, read without worry.
4. The male lead is an adult! An adult! An adult! Just turned eighteen still counts as an adult! (By age in years, that is.)
5. I'll update daily, at nine every night.
6. The game isn't based on a real one.

The ill-fated, quick-to-fight, four-realms' number-one female war god vs. the black-lotus immortal lord who seems "frail and sickly" but is actually a scheming yandere
Shang Jiantang has lived for 89,000 years. Born with divine power, she became the youngest female war god in the Four Realms after just three hundred years.
She slays gods when gods stand in her way, and demons when demons stand in her way. Her life is one long, carefree romp.
She never imagined that one day a marriage would trip her up, or that she'd be pursued by the famous weakling of the Four Realms, a divine lord.
"Your Majesty, I refuse to marry Feng Sui! If I had a delicate little immortal lord at home, my fellow soldiers would laugh their heads off whenever I went to war!"
She thinks that will be enough to get her out of marrying Feng Sui. After all, with her strength, what could she possibly want to do and fail at?
But Feng Sui immediately collapses to the floor, crying as if he were on his deathbed.
"War God Sister, eight hundred years ago I had my fortune told, and it foretold that we were destined to be together. If you don't marry me, you'll die. For the peace of the Four Realms, I'm willing to give myself to you."
"Then I might as well die."
Shang Jiantang has prepared herself to die if necessary, but no matter how ready she is, she can't guard against Feng Sui's "sinister designs."
She lets her guard down for just a moment, and somehow he wakes up in her bed.
Even more terrifying, she has no idea when he climbed into it.
She looks at the frail immortal lord, curled in a corner, pale as a willow in the wind and coughing nonstop. For the first time, she feels a flicker of "compassion."
"Right now, get off my bed, or I'll take your life and offer it to my blade!"
Shang Jiantang thinks she's been pretty merciful to Feng Sui. After all, she watched him grow up, so she didn't actually kill him.
Otherwise... by her usual standards, Feng Sui would have been dead by her hand long ago.
She expects him to scramble away in terror, but instead he spits up blood all over the bed and faints.
All she can do is put her blade away for now and call a doctor to look at him. Feng Sui is the Heavenly Emperor's only heir, after all. He can't be allowed to die easily.
And that only heir really is so frail he's on the verge of death. After calculating every possible outcome, the Star Lord of Fate comes up with just one way to prolong Feng Sui's life.
"Your Highness, please marry Immortal Lord Feng Sui. It's the only way he can survive! For the sake of Heaven's plans, we beg you to sacrifice yourself and play your part!"
And so Shang Jiantang is forced to marry Feng Sui to bring him good fortune, and a "virtuous," delicate immortal lord joins her household.
She never imagined that this entire scheme was a trick played on her by the supposedly frail immortal lord.
By the time she realizes what's going on, Feng Sui is already rosy-cheeked, holding out pastries to win her over.
"War God Sister, try these. I made them with perilla today. I'm sure you'll love them."
"...Fine. I'll try one."
[Reader's Guide: 1. It may look like a comedy, but the story itself leans more serious. 2. The male lead is very different from how he first appears, but he won't be out of character. Be prepared. 3. The female lead is strong, extremely strong. There is no setup where the man is stronger than the woman. From her perspective, this is a satisfying power fantasy. 4. If you like it, please add it to your favorites! I'll keep updating once I start!]
Theme: Love gives people courage.
A 23-year-old is already considered an old man in the e-sports circle, right?
The red-haired puppy is so cute 😍 Carefully testing the limits of how close my sister is allowed to get, but still afraid of being disliked and rejected by her sister, I put the medicine at the door
Look good, come on, come on, come on, come on. Ji Shixu has always protected Yishen in his own way, and Yishen has maintained his original intention despite suffering so much. They are really good people. Under the protection of Ji, the spirit slowly and bravely moves towards new life 🤩 🤩 🤩 🤩 😍 😍 😍 The characters are portrayed superbly
Seeing this, I really hope that there will be no problem with Yishen's hand at this time. If it really doesn't work, I can lose to others, but I really can't lose to my ex-boyfriend.
Hahahahahahahahahaha There is a duel going on somewhere that the heroine doesn't know about.
Oh my God, such a good article, why are there so few collections [disappeared]🤷
Come on, come on, come on 😍 😍
When I see the game, it reminds me of me, the peak king, who knelt down and made me angry to death.
I feel like this chapter is a bit mindless when it comes to writing about fans (of course, it may also be because I don't know much about the e-sports circle) (Crazy Stacking)
I feel so sorry for Wan Yi, like a piece of hard-earned candy, I will first discover her flamboyance, reliability, and ability, and then slowly I will discover her cowardice and pain.
