Qi Mo, the number one Divine Blesser on both the China and Europe servers, returned to China, and the Esports scene erupted.

Every team in the country scrambled to sign him, throwing astronomical signing bonuses and excellent benefits at him.

Then an announcement welcoming him back to RUC sent shock waves through the entire Esports scene.

Confused netizens asked: [Did RUC put a spell on you?!]

His fans were devastated: [...No, why are you back again? Not stabbing them to death was already letting them off easy. And you just forgave them like that?]

Spectators watched the drama unfold: [Did some captain use himself as bait? I'm reporting this on behalf of the other teams. There's something fishy going on!]

Haters hurled insults: [Isn't this the guy who loves smearing people the most? He made up rumors about his teammates before, and now he's back at it?]

"I didn't make anything up, and I didn't forgive them." On the day he returned, a platinum-blond young man chewed gum nonchalantly in his livestream. "They offered too much."

Yan You, RUC's current captain, was a prodigy who went pro at sixteen. When he first saw the boy's pale gray eyes at the team base, his opening line was, "Do you believe in love at first sight?"

Qi Mo accidentally spilled water on his limited-edition keyboard. The man smiled and said, "Compensation? Marry me."

He was a carefree flirt who never spoke seriously. Whenever Qi Mo spent time with Yan You, he would tease him until Qi Mo's ears turned red and he got all flustered and angry.

And yet Qi Mo simply couldn't take his eyes off that man's dazzling radiance.

But fate had other plans. Qi Mo had no choice but to leave the team, and from then on, they went their separate ways.

·

Netizens noticed that a certain RUC captain was becoming more and more outrageous.

He refused to duo with anyone but player Seven on stream, and his verbal harassment even made the usually aloof Little Qi God blush with anger.

The ship fans danced like it was New Year's.

Haters sneered: [Isn't this just Qi Mo's lapdog?]

Yan You smiled. [Yep.]

Then people dug up the fact that he had never missed a day of checking in on the ship's fan page since it was created. His solo fans transformed into a whole army of octopuses to explain it away, only for Yan You to reply:

Yan You: [I'm Little Qi God's person.]

Qi Mo: [Mm.]

Fans: [If I ever ship two guys again in my next life, I'll be a dog.]

A tacky, smooth-talking, noisy peacock of an aggressive lead * A seemingly unapproachable, actually adorable, stone-faced, exceptionally patient puppy of a receptive lead

[Reader's Guide]

1. Both leads are virgins, and misunderstandings will be resolved later. 1v1, slow-burn, everyday romance (I really can't write a fast-paced story), happy ending.

[Two supporting couples, both with happy endings.]

2. The game is a custom-created 3D MOBA with original rules. Please don't complain if it's not to your taste.

3. There is a plot involving an illegitimate child, so expect some melodrama.

4. The receptive lead is the type to shoulder everything on his own. Because of his family and other external factors, he's not good at being direct.

* The players are not based on real people.

Next up: a story about Qi Mo's older brother, Qi Junyu. Blurb still in progress.
