◎ Gentle, straightforward career-minded woman X aloof, secretly flirtatious, clingy man
◎ Two strong leads | Passionate | Ensemble cast | Sweet romance | Comedy
One night, a popular Honor of Kings streamer on Maozhao TV ran into the current KPL's strongest jungler.
The livestream's popularity shot up by more than 100,000. Their top-lane and jungle coordination was phenomenal, and viewers called it a feast for the eyes.
Sharp-eyed fans noticed that the jungler captain, Shi Yi, usually known for being aloof, was inexplicably very proactive that night. Not only did he keep running up to the top lane, he even gave the important blue buff to the top laner?! The mid laner was heartbroken, streamer Yun Wan was baffled, and even bystanders were about to lose it.
The comments flooded with question marks, wondering what had made the seven-time champion jungler ask a gaming streamer, "Could you carry me for a bit?" Yun Wan had no idea what was going on. Everyone was spamming question marks. How was she supposed to know?
During the spring split, powerhouse team TYG seemed to be having internal problems, with a core player benched and unable to compete.
After the match, the coach immediately left the team. Rumors about what was happening behind the scenes ran wild. Half a month later, TYG announced its new coach, and it turned out to be Yun Wan, who had duo-queued with Shi Yi all night that day!
A woman, a streamer, and frequent interactions with Shi Yi: with all those factors stacked up, the fans completely lost it, convinced their home team was doomed. As a tidal wave of public opinion threatened to drown TYG, Yun Wan went live and addressed everyone head-on: "In esports, results speak for themselves. TYG is ready to be tested. See you at the summer split."
In just a few short months, TYG seemed like a completely different team under its new coach, earning a ticket to the grand finals at the summer split.
Before the match, the two teams talked big and traded increasingly brutal trash talk. Facing the cameras, Shi Yi fixed them with a sharp gaze and calmly retorted, "A best-of-seven? At least you made it to the finals. How are you still this naive?"
"All it takes to make you despair is one half."
Every member of TYG was brimming with fighting spirit, confidently declaring to the world that the trophy was theirs.
Backstage at the grand finals, staff were getting ready to lead the whole TYG team out to compete. But all the way there, they could only focus on Shi Yi holding Yun Wan's hand. The man who had been cold and taciturn while trading trash talk was now speaking softly with his head lowered, calling her "Sis" over and over.
The staff stared in disbelief. Was the aloof captain, whose aggression was MAX on the field, actually a clingy sweetheart in private?
Yun Wan X Shi Yi
[Reader's Guide]
1. The female lead did not start out as a streamer. She used to be a pro player and is qualified to coach.
2. The game in this story is Honor of Kings. Since this is an esports novel, there are lots of gaming scenes, but they won't get in the way of enjoying the story. Of course, knowing a little about the game will make it even better.
3. This is a sweet romance with plenty of scenes focused on the leads' relationship! It's perfect as a little sugary treat.
4. The lineups featured in the matches are all ones used in professional competition. The commentary combines on-site commentary and secondary-stream commentary to make it feel more realistic. If you find it jarring or really can't accept it, feel free to skip this one.
5. The leads' romance is the main focus, but there will also be plenty of spotlight moments for the supporting characters, because I think esports is, at its heart, a passionate ensemble story, and everyone matters.
This is my first book. I hope you enjoy reading it, and please give it a bookmark.
