Bei Wei Wei logs in like she always does, expecting nothing out of the ordinary, and instead finds a short message waiting for her. Her in-game partner wants a divorce. That’s all it says. No explanation, no drawn-out argument—just an abrupt ending to something that had been part of her routine for a while. It wasn’t a relationship built on feelings in the first place, so she tells herself it doesn’t matter much. Even so, losing a regular teammate leaves things feeling slightly… off.
It doesn’t stay a private matter for long. By the next day, people across the server already know what happened. Her ex is remarrying, and not quietly either. The wedding is big, flashy, the kind that pulls in a crowd just to watch. Naturally, attention drifts toward Wei Wei. Players start waiting for a reaction, expecting at least some kind of scene. That’s usually how these things go—someone gets embarrassed, someone makes a move, and everyone else gets entertained.
Wei Wei doesn’t give them that.
She shows up, but not in the way people expect. Instead of confronting anyone, she sets up a stall nearby and starts selling high-level medicine like it’s any other day. It’s such a simple move that it catches people off guard. The crowd that came for drama slowly shifts focus. Soon enough, people are more interested in buying items than watching the wedding. Just like that, the whole situation loses its edge.
That quiet, almost casual response says a lot about her. Wei Wei isn’t the type to get pulled into unnecessary trouble. She plays smart, keeps things practical, and usually has a reason behind what she does—even if it’s not obvious at first glance. She doesn’t need to make a scene to stay in control.
Not long after, something new comes up. A well-known player on the server reaches out to her with a proposal. There’s an upcoming couple-based competition, and he needs a capable partner. No small talk, no hidden meaning—just a straightforward offer.
Wei Wei agrees.
At first, it’s just teamwork. Two strong players teaming up because it makes sense. But the more they play together, the more people notice. Their coordination seem smooth and they keep winning, and somehow they just… stand out more than expected.
For Wei Wei, though, it still feels simple. Just another part of the game.
At least for now.
