As you figured out I am a huge fan of XU Kai. I have seen every drama/movie/TV show he has taken a part in as I'm watching both this and Ancient love poetry at the same time and then waiting on a 5 additional drama especially Zhao ge. This drama is about the professional world of E-sport gaming thats a dream to alot of gamers who constantly strive to better themselves especially Tong Yao aka "Smiling" who ranks high in the non professional leagues. She ask her boyfriend Jian yang to teach her how to play when they were dating so she could understand the sport and not be mad when he ignored her or just got frustrated all was good then one day he tells her he's leaving overseas for training and that they breakup. Well she continues to play out of spite and then it turns into a love for E-sports and she's really good at it. Then she gets a call and is interviewed for a professional team and then is offer the mid lander position for ZDGX who is the best of the best in a all male team,. She is reluctant too since she would replace Gun Ming who just announced his retirement after his last game due to his hand injury that doesn't allow him to play any longer and so that's why he retired. As she texts the manager that she accepts there offer to play her ex-bf Yang God suddenly appears thinking she came to see him at first after a year and tells her she shouldnt play in a male sport and if so she should join his team of course she tells him to get lost and the next time she see him ill be a handshake, he thinks she'll run back to him. Unfortunately he should have treated her better and called her and not break her heart and not calling once even when he returned. Then a public announcement is made that a female is joining the ZDGX team as a replacement for Gun ming the team is excited to meet Tong Yao "SMILING" except for Li cheng. She arrived with pancake her cat and Li cheng is afraid that hell eats his sons(fish) there a joke too it but don't want to spoil it all. She meets little fatty Xiao pang he so cute that you love him, then old cat and old K who are quite and BF the gun ming and Xiao rui manager. They have a match against her to see what she got and did well except has to learn to work as a team player and as she start to fit in and learns more about team members and how to play with them as one she is except as one. She goes thru happy, sad, angry, hurtful and so many more emotions by what the Fandom writes and calls her names because they jeousley of her relationship with Li cheng and that she flirting and shouldn't be next to him. As they play matches winnings and losing there fans either love/hate, but as smiling is playing great she has attracted the attention of other members trying to date her which is funny to see. As time goes on of course she and li cheng relationship has changed for the better as they are getting closer and he asked for her to give him a chance and to respond by 9pm now it's 8:58 and he show up and as he asks again when all of a sudden something moves(the cutest scene ever) and she responds....
They continue to have matches and her BF is dating Ji ang the team next door her rival and so they help each in relationship and other matters.. The goal is to win the championship and advance to the world cup which they gave up there position do to gun ming injuries. Each go thru issue with there parents and families not agreeing this is a future sport, and they all proved them wrong. There so much more to this drama. Well worth the wait
