A relief player who debuted on the gimmick of being the first female pro player in the LPL.
A pressure-case, mediocre AD who was showered with abuse after her first Worlds.
An arrogant, controversy-driving player accused of pandering to fans and fueling stan culture.
Day after day, she never gave up. She is CHESTNUT, a League of Legends esports champion.
The championship trophy is precious because it is built on the pain and tears of all those who failed. To win it, Chestnut gave up so much.
Her education, her teammates, her love... even the person she used to be, Chen Jinyu. But thankfully, in the end, she finally got her wish.
"From now on, may your tears be tears of happiness alone."
At the Spring Split finals, the pre-match promotional video showed the young player Chen Jinyu, still full of confidence, talking trash.
"We're heading to MSI soon, so time is tight. I hope we can finish this match 3-0. Of course, we're the three. It might be a bit disappointing for the audience if it ends too quickly, but we'll do our best to wrap things up fast in the most exciting way possible."
"I'm sure plenty of fans have traveled a long way to watch the finals in person. Chengdu is a wonderful city, with a long history and amazing food. We'll finish the match as quickly as possible so everyone has more time to leave early and enjoy the city's charms~"
A wildly career-focused, explosive-carry AD heroine, born to be a champion x a Korean jungler, black-hearted beneath a gentle facade, with a "stop showing off, you're making your sister-in-law jealous" bot
PS:
1. The game is League of Legends. If the match details conflict with the real-world game or league rules, consider them the author's original settings.
This story isn't based on any existing LoL club. Any resemblance is purely coincidental. Tournament locations and details aren't based on any particular year, and game updates follow the author's ideas, not the real timeline.
2. The male lead has little presence early on. The focus is on the heroine's career. The story of winning the title is CC's own growth story. There will be romance, but it won't affect her career, and the romance line will have an open ending.
3. No pro players are portrayed as wholly bad. The story does include mockery of the esports scene's shady behavior.
Premise: Become a myth, become a legend, and become someone the past marvels at, the present cheers for, and future generations admire
