Synopsis
Yi Jianqiu is a professional gamer who hides his elite skills to maintain a low profile. He develops a fascination with Zhang Nanyang, a naive player who struggles to climb the ranks in the mobile game Honor of Kings. To get closer to him, Yi assumes the role of a supportive teammate and digital housekeeper, secretly carrying Nanyang through matches while masking his true identity. This story leans heavily into the hidden expert and e-sports romance tropes, reading like a lighthearted slice-of-life gaming novel. It is ideal for readers who enjoy low-stakes BL dynamics and the charm of a secret protector. However, those looking for intense competitive drama or complex plot twists should skip this title. The pacing is relatively slow, focusing more on the repetitive comfort of gaming sessions than high-octane action.

Editorial Review
This completed BL novel offers a straightforward take on the gaming romance genre. Its primary strength lies in the established dynamic between the hidden professional and the oblivious novice, which provides a consistent sense of cozy irony throughout its 136 chapters. However, the narrative suffers from significant internal warnings; the author explicitly notes that the story becomes tedious in the middle and frustrating toward the end. This suggests a lack of structural discipline and a failure to evolve the plot beyond its initial premise. While the short length makes it an easy commitment, the lack of popularity and the author's own candid dissatisfaction with the writing quality make it difficult to recommend highly. It serves as a basic example of the trope without pushing the genre forward.
