[Retired Coach x China's Top Table Tennis Player]
[Pitch submission. The opening is plot-driven. I wanted to switch to a romance-focused story later, but realized I couldn't change it back. It ends rather badly, though I forced myself to give it a happy ending. I'll have a finished manuscript ready before publishing my next book, and promise not to abandon it or give it a bad ending.]

Liu Jianchun knew she was a hopeless romantic. She spent ten years tangled up with Xie Yu, a top-tier rich heir, and only ended things for good after being cheated on countless times.
After retiring, they went their separate ways. But when her godfather rose to become the industry's top authority, her name returned to Xie Yu's attention.
Xie Yu promised his mother he would win Liu Jianchun over first, then join the association and openly take control of the family business.
By chance, they met again, but someone new was at Liu Jianchun's side.
The junior teammate she'd once barely spared a glance, Jian Zhaonan.
He called her Senior Sister, but casually slipped an arm around her waist.
He said he was a blank sheet, that he didn't know anything, yet after Xie Yu drugged her unconscious, he secretly added a few hickey marks and pinned the blame on Xie Yu.
Having ruined his reputation and lost his ex-girlfriend, Xie Yu went completely mad. "He's a schemer! Liu Jianchun, he's a schemer!"
She only replied coolly, "The way he fights to win me over is just how he shows he loves me."

Jian Zhaonan had always known Liu Jianchun had someone she loved.
The boy she liked was more fashionable and richer than him. Most importantly, he was a playboy with an expert touch when it came to flirting with women.
But Jian Zhaonan loved her anyway, even if that love was sordid, base, and hidden from the world.
The night before Liu Jianchun planned to confess to Xie Yu, she drank herself into a stupor to work up her courage and had to be helped back to her room.
The one who helped her back was Jian Zhaonan.
Looking at her beautiful sleeping face, his heart raced. He cupped her face, wanting to steal a kiss that wasn't his to take, but his trembling lips ultimately landed on the back of his own hand.
They were barely a hair's breadth from her lips.
Little did he know, she hadn't actually fallen asleep.
There's plenty of action-packed sports fiction out there. Why not read a little about the love and hate between athletes, too?
Old injuries that won't heal, a past that can't be forgotten, a future that can't be seen...
What else can I do?
Senior Sister, I still love you.
① The female lead has past relationships; the male lead is inexperienced. A melodramatic romance with a career plot for the female lead. All characters are fictional and made up by the author.
② The female lead is a hidden gem of a heartthrob and a privileged darling, in charge of both her love life and career. Only the opening makes her seem a little miserable.
③ The male lead is devoted, but he's a gloomy, scheming type. Whenever he gets the chance, he ruthlessly takes down the male rival. He's no saint.
④ Primarily written for readers who focus on the female lead. I won't dwell on her appearance unless necessary, but I'll do my best to paint the male lead and male rival as handsome.
③ Pitch submission. The first three chapters lean more toward plot, and the male rivalry and love triangle don't appear until Chapter Seven. Melodrama fans, feel free to skip ahead.
④ The main characters are clear-headed about their feelings. If they like someone, they like them; if they don't, they don't. Dive in without worry.
⑤ Updates every other day before the paid chapters, then daily afterward.
