A further series of coincidences and misunderstandings throw the both of them together and, as Han Shang Yan slowly starts to soften towards her, Tong Nian also finds herself getting involved in K&K’s activities and the world of professional esports, even uncovering the past about Han Shang Yan and the reason for his sudden retirement from the esports world.~~ Adapted from the novel “Stewed Squid with Honey” (蜜汁炖鱿鱼) by Mo Bao Fei Bao (墨宝非宝).
