Faith in Victory

Victory's Belief Lin Sheng, a former Real Madrid coach, transmigrates to a parallel world and takes charge of a team where winning means someone dies. Whenever Victory Club wins, a key player undergoes a strange “awakening,” bleeding from every orifice, mumbling an ancient curse, and vanishing. Lin Sheng refuses to believe in the superstition and leads the team to one victory after another with modern soccer tactics. Until he discovers that the missing players have been turned into puppets, practicing their final losing goal day and night beneath the youth training ground. And the beautiful translator he trusts most, Cen Yutong, is actually a Zhuang shaman from a line of curse guardians, assigned to make him “lose without anyone being any the wiser.” More terrifying truths come to light: buried beneath the club is the ancestral drum of the ancient Luoyue Kingdom, while European financial titans circle overhead, eager to package everything he protects into an outrageously expensive NFT. When the final showdown arrives, Lin Sheng is no longer facing opponents on the pitch, but an army of “Immortals” whose emotions have been erased by drugs. “Real Madrid members defend their faith with votes. My be nung defend it with their lives.” This is a battle of faith, with soccer as the offering and his hometown as the stake. Win, and the curse is broken and the Zhuang spirit rekindled. Lose, and body and soul alike will be enslaved forever. High-concept suspense: Win a match, and a player disappears? The rules of soccer versus an ancient curse! Twists in identity: Could the gentle translator really be a ruthless shaman? Is the kindly team doctor actually a puppeteer? Emotional gut punches: Missing teammates clinging to their obsessions, a Zhuang girl's sacrifice, and ordinary people taking on global capital with burning passion. Cultural heart: Soccer meets Zhuang sorcery, as the spirit of modern sports collides with China's ancient traditions.
