[World-weary, jaded heiress x sharp-tongued Glory textbook]

In everyone's eyes, Ji Chaoshu was just like the ragdoll cat she kept: blessed with stunning looks, but sometimes so willful that she made people question their sanity.

In particular, the young heiress Ji suffered from chronic headaches. When one struck, she would be awake all night. Because of her long-term lack of sleep, she looked every day as if someone owed her eight million, wearing a beautiful, aloof expression and giving everyone the cold shoulder.

Until one morning, the young heiress woke up and opened her eyes to a face with the same somewhat dispirited air.

She knew that face very well. The person it belonged to was none other than the captain of her team.

The young heiress stared at that familiar face for a long time before finally realizing that, for once, she had slept without dreaming the night before.

Ji Chaoshu, who had finally enjoyed a good night's sleep, fell silent. She had long anticipated this, and was even a little eager to dissect a certain Glory textbook.

After all, she couldn't figure out what kind of mysterious constitution this person had.

Ji Chaoshu usually hated the smell of cigarettes more than anything. But ever since she discovered that Ye Xiu was a human sleeping pill, she spent several days struggling with it. In the end, the young heiress simply couldn't fall asleep on her own, and once you get used to luxury, it's hard to go back.

For the first time, she lowered her head and gave in to her longing for a good night's sleep, sending someone a message.

"Come upstairs and sleep with me."

The young heiress had taken the initiative for once. When Ye Xiu received the message in the villa's lobby, he instinctively opened the chat window.

A professional player's excellent dynamic vision let him read the message in under a second. Before anyone else noticed, he swiftly closed the chat window.

Under the puzzled gazes of everyone around him, Ye Xiu quickly finished the dungeon and picked up the jacket draped over his chair.

"Why are you going upstairs, Lao Ye? Going to bed this early?" someone asked in confusion.

Ye Xiu smiled as he walked upstairs and replied, "That's right. I'm going to bed."

Before the Glory textbook could gloat for long...

After this strange, purely sharing-a-bed relationship had lasted for over half a month, Ye Xiu woke up one morning and sat on the edge of the bed, unable to help pondering his life. He turned to the young heiress, who had also just gotten out of bed, and asked,

"So, what exactly are we?"

The young heiress tucked back a lock of her wavy hair and looked at him with complete confidence, her face plainly saying, Isn't that obvious?

Ye Xiu got it at once: Obviously, I'm your sleeping tool, right?

"...How come I don't even have a title?"

Without looking back or answering, the young heiress went into the bathroom. Left standing there, Ye Xiu admitted defeat.

Fine.

The road to winning the young heiress over was still long and difficult.

[Please read before starting]

- The heroine will not become a professional player, but she will provide support for Team Happy.

- The story is full of melodrama and feel-good wish fulfillment, and logic is basically dead.

- There will definitely be out-of-character moments. There isn't much about the game; the focus is mainly on romantic push and pull.

- Some timeline events may be drastically changed or moved around. Please take special note.

- I'll revise the story often to better capture the feeling I want to convey.
