Lu Xiangyang, the “Butcher” of the Ella team in the Chinese IVL (Identity V League), was a prodigy. Whenever he played, he could almost always secure multiple captures. Yet this genius boy died on the night of his championship win. When he was found, his wrists were terrifyingly thin. — Lu Xiangyang’s biggest regret was signing a contract with Ella for his mother’s medical expenses. No one knew that in the team, he suffered cold violence and ridicule from his teammates, as well as rumors and insults. Even with severe tenosynovitis in his hands, he pushed himself to keep training. Out of the millions in prize money, he received less than ten thousand yuan, and the club owner blocked him from retiring or transferring. On the night of his third championship, his mother also passed away because her treatment was too late. If he were given another chance, he would never have joined Ella. He would make sure that this team never had a chance to win again. But then, he truly reborn. Reincarnated as Shen Kuangye, a youth trainee in the Ella team. And he saw the younger, spirited version of himself beside him, still just a trainee. He thought to himself: This time, I can’t let that idiot make the same mistakes. — No one knew why these two genius youth trainees refused Ella and instead joined the long-overlooked, bottom-ranking, and impoverished EAR team. Netizens commented: “First doubt it, then doubt it again.” Both trainees were devastatingly handsome. One was the smiling Butcher King, the other the aloof Human King. Their stunning looks combined with extraordinary gaming talent won them countless shipper fans. Fans spent every waking moment shipping them. After they joined, the EAR team actually rose to first in their group and won the Abyss Championship. In the pouring rain, the cold and handsome boy tilted his head toward the blushing boy beside him, his gaze unusually soft. On the night of the championship, the drunken boy blocked Shen Kuangye at the hotel door, cheeks flushed: “Captain… let’s date, okay?” Shen Kuangye didn’t answer, but the boy in his arms gathered courage and kissed him. “...” After a moment of silence, Shen Kuangye, feeling hopeless, cupped his face and returned the kiss. --- Notes: 1. 1v1, gong/uke, Human Emperor × Butcher Emperor, mutual secret crush. 2. The game is Identity V, IVL esports; tons of personal headcanons, and I can't bear to let the kids suffer. 3. Pure fluff! Pure fluff! 4. Warning: Narcissus story! Narcissus story! (In short, it’s a self-cest story! If you don’t want this kind of theme, I advise you not to click or read this story. Again, it’s a self-cest story!) --- Other Titles: •Captain, Want to Fall in Love? [E-Sports] •Captain, Shall We Date? [E-Sports] •Captain, Wanna Date? [E-Sports] Author: 冷面燈燈

I never liked him. At least, that’s what I told myself in the beginning. He was just another classmate—someone I barely paid attention to, someone who didn’t matter. But somewhere between shared classrooms, quiet glances, and moments I didn’t think twice about… something changed. I started noticing him. Not all at once. Not in a way that made sense. Just little things. Little moments. Thirty-six of them, to be exact. What I thought was nothing slowly became something I couldn’t ignore. And yet, even as my feelings grew, so did my doubts. Mixed signals, unanswered questions, and the fear of being wrong kept me stuck between denial and realization. Only a few people knew. Or at least, they weren’t supposed to. Because some feelings are easier to hide… until they aren’t. And by the time I finally understood what I felt, I also realized something else— Not every story is meant to be returned. Not every almost becomes something real. This is the story of how I fell for someone I was never meant to have… …and how, even after thirty-six moments, I’m still not sure what any of it meant.

Wish thought that if she ever got a second chance at life, she would at least wake up in a better story. A spoiled princess. A doomed villainess on the path to redemption. A heroine adored by powerful husbands. Anything would have been fine. That's how stories were supposed to work. Instead, fate—and whatever twisted cosmic editor writes destinies—casts her in the one role she should never have been reborn into: the fat, ugly, unwanted maiden chosen for sacrifice. She awakens in a body mocked by her tribe, pitied by her parents, and avoided by every man. In a world where beast forms define worth, hers is a joke—a puff-fluff fox, a useless cotton cloud that couldn't frighten a butterfly. Worse still, she is the doomed extra whose sole purpose was to die during the Mating Moon Ritual—her death the trigger that allowed the real female lead, a beautiful, weak princess, to earn the devotion of the four almighty beast deities. The Wind Deity—hot-headed, wild, and dangerously unpredictable. The Solar Deity—arrogant, playful, and impossibly radiant. The Sky Deity—silent, calm, and shrouded in mystery. The Night Deity—cold, calculating, and merciless. Except Wish doesn't die. And her survival breaks everything. The plot stutters. Events twist. Characters act wrong. The world itself seems to notice her refusal to disappear—and begins trying to correct the mistake. Now hunted by fate and trapped in a society where beauty is worshipped, mating marks define destiny, and the weak are meant to be sacrificed, Wish is given one impossible condition for survival: She must derail the story completely. The only way to do that is to draw the attention of the four beings the world revolves around—creatures meant to be untouchable, distant, and divine. One is bound to her by a ritual that should have killed her. One meets her with hostility instead of fate. One sees her existence as a threat that must be erased. One should be incapable of feeling anything at all. They were never meant to notice her. The story was never meant to let her live. So how is she supposed to survive a world that measures worth by beauty and power, when she is fat, unwanted, powerless—and armed with nothing but a useless fluffy fox? Can she break the story that wants her dead? Or will she die exactly as the plot demands?
