Qin Daiya was originally a trainee at P Company, but through a twist of fate, she became the manager of the company's new boy group.

Manager, assistant, translator, driver, cook, fan club operator, even wardrobe and makeup: during her two years as their manager, she worked nonstop and took care of practically every bit of support staff work.

She even pretended to be a fan site photographer, following the artists around for over a year to promote them.

She went through the rookie period alongside the boy group, and was the only staff member on the entire internet whom fans singled out as an exception when they were cursing the company.

And yet, just as the boy group became hugely popular and everyone thought she was about to get promoted, make a fortune, and earn big money, she announced on a show marketed as giving viewers a manager's perspective that she was quitting her job as their manager.

The entire boy group's fandom was left more shocked than ever before.

Other groups' fans: What's going on with your group?

Carats QAQ: Our idols' manager quit.

Other groups' fans: "The manager quitting is a big deal? If you didn't know better, you'd think someone in your group had gotten into a relationship and wrecked their career."

Carats: "That would've been great. Out of thirteen guys, not one managed to win their manager over."

The Carats were outraged: "Don't you know how to date someone at work?"

Champion Wants Romance, Goddess Wants Gold

A sweet little story about two people crossing over into each other's worlds and pursuing one another.

In 2024, Su Jinkui accompanied Wang Zhuoyang, who had twice missed his chance to compete at the Olympics, onto the Olympic stage.

At the competition in the City of Light, she watched with her own eyes as the once-disappointed, dispirited young man won the Olympic gold medal that countless athletes dreamed of, at the age of thirty, the twilight of his career.

"A prodigy whose career was cut short."

"A pushover at major tournaments."

"A domestic champion who only knew how to bully his own team."

As the team's doctor, she knew all too well the pressure he carried as an "old" veteran.

She was happy for him, and this newly crowned champion had never overlooked the contribution of a "medical staff member" like her.

She gazed at the gold medal in front of her, lost in thought.

It should have been the happiest moment, a time for celebration. Yet as she looked at the medal in her hand, another thought kept coming to mind.

[If only the past eight years had gone more smoothly for him.]

[His career should have been even more glorious.]

Su Jinkui repeated the thought silently to herself. Then, in the next instant, beneath the dazzling light of the gold medal, she returned to eight years earlier, to the first disappointing turning point of his youth.

This time, the young man did not fail.

She was happy for him, but that also meant that now they were starting over, they seemed to have no reason to meet again. Still, perhaps because of everything she had witnessed in the future, she sincerely hoped that athletes would have easier, smoother lives outside of training.

The very next moment, she returned to twelve years earlier, to the time when the boy first competed in the Olympics. She thought her mission was to save him, but discovered that through his own hard work, he had already reached his first peak.
