Uriel_Love

In the neon-lit world of Chinese esports, victory is king, but sometimes, it’s love that pulls the trigger.

Shen Wanqing is a rising PUBG streamer with nothing but talent and dreams. Lu Zeyan is the cold, calculating heir to a billion-dollar tech empire and the secret identity behind “Reign,” China’s most feared professional PUBG sniper. When Wanqing defeats Reign in a viral match with a legendary headshot, she doesn’t just win the crowd. She captures the attention of the man behind the mask.

Their paths cross again when Zeyan's company sponsors a national-level esports competition, and he recruits Wanqing into his elite training team, unaware that the girl he’s recruiting is the same one who humiliated his alter ego. What begins as a tactical partnership soon spirals into a clash of hearts.

But love on the battlefield comes with no easy wins:

Shen Wanqing must fight societal bias, toxic fan culture, and hidden sabotage within the team.

Zeyan must break free from his cold-blooded upbringing and challenge his family's dynastic plans.

Together, they’ll uncover the corruption threatening the esports world and rewrite the rules of both love and the game.

From steamy late-night training sessions to televised tournaments, jealous rivals, family drama, and heartbreaking choices. This is a love story built on bullets, betrayal, and undeniable chemistry.

Crosshairs of the Heart

Global Esports Network – Breaking News Broadcast

The anchor stared straight into the camera, her voice trembling with urgency.

"We interrupt this stream to report an unprecedented incident.In the last 24 hours, over 300 professional PUBG killfeeds have shown a new tag:#[HUNTER] - linked to Ji Corporation's controversial AI-enhancement program."

Clips rolled behind her, killcams showing impossible reflexes, players executing pixel-perfect flicks, and emotes delivered with chilling robotic timing.

"Players across North America, South Korea, and Europe are demanding an emergency suspension of Ji-sponsored teams... until investigations prove these players are fully human."

Reign threw his phone on the table.

"Thirty-six leagues have already gone dark. Brands are pulling out."

Wanqing rubbed her temple. "Every ranked match is tainted. People don't know who's real anymore."

Mayhem pulled up a live data tracker. Red markers blinked over every major PUBG league.

"JiCorp's HUNTER protocol went live two nights ago. And now… the entire esports ecosystem is fracturing."

Meanwhile – Ji Corporation, Private Conference

Madam Ji stood before a table of sponsors and executives, presenting numbers:

23% increase in viewer retention during HUNTER-tagged matches

41% increase in betting markets tied to AI-led players

Global trending topics: #GameOrMachine, #LetThemPlay, #BanTheBots

"Emotion," she said coldly, "is not a metric. Viewership is."

One sponsor raised a question. "But the audience is revolting. Players are threatening boycotts."

"They'll come back. People don't watch for fairness. They watch for dominance."

Scene – Secret Discord Server: "GHOSTS"

Reign and Wanqing joined a live audio room with dozens of top players, streamers, coaches, and even ex-Ji engineers.

"We need a clean slate," said one Korean team leader."A no-AI league," added a French caster."Human-only duos, verified lobbies, raw stream overlays."

"Project Killfeed."

Its goal: to publicly challenge the best HUNTER teams... and beat them on stream in manual-only, AI-free settings.

Back in their hotel suite, Reign scrolled through his DMs.

A message from an unknown contact appeared:

From: MirrorAce"You want to stop JiCorp?Then start with your father.He funded the first prototype.Your instincts aren't your own."

A younger Reign sat in a hospital room beside his unconscious mother. Outside, his father, Mr. Lu Zemin, owner of LuTech, was arguing on the phone.

"Yes, I gave JiCorp the reflex data from our early military sim trials. My son's input logs are included. I don't care, I want results, not a conscience."

And now, that ghost from the past had returned.

Final Scene – Wanqing's Apartment Balcony

Reign stood silently, staring at the message on his phone.

Wanqing joined him, brushing her fingers gently against his.

"My father built this war.I think it's time I finished it."
