Warning! I have tried to keep the story spoiler free as much as possible, but you never know. With that cleared, let's now move on to the story~
Su Mucheng is bored, in fact, extremely bored. Excellent Dynasty has weakened so much that they dropped out of the rankings. Now, they have to spend a year in the qualification tournament before they can re-enter the regular season. Thus, she now has a lot more free time on her hands. Having finished a drama recently, she is considering whether she should start a new one, or chase any of the currently airing dramas.
Mucheng PM-ed her close friend, Chu Yunxiu, to ask for any recommendations, but, as the team captain of Misty Rain, Yunxiu has a lot less free time, and is apparently too busy to reply her anytime soon. Sighing softly, Mucheng sends a message to the female pro players' group chat, in hopes that they will have something good to recommend her. (Note that in the story, most pro players set the names of their in-game characters as their QQ chat IDs, so I'll be following that format as well)
Dancing Rain (Mucheng): I'm so boreeeeeeeeeed. Can someone recommend me a good drama or anything interesting?
Phylla (Liu Fei): Hmmm perhaps a light novel? Currently chasing The Legend of Sun Knight by Yu Wo. It's funny, and the series is complete.
Fading Footsteps (Dai Yanqi): Weeell, I don't have any dramas to recommend, but I do have a few stories that might interest you. But first, let me clarify, are you ok with BL?
Dancing Rain: I'm not particularly for or against BL... ...it just never crossed my mind.
Dancing Rain: Liu Fei, thanks for the suggestion but I want something that I can finish in a short time cuz I'm waiting for the new drama to air next week XD
Fading Footsteps: Here, let me send you a list of my favs. Don't worry, these are one-shots, and can be finished quickly.
Fading Footsteps: list of urls
Dancing Rain: Thanks! I'll let you know if I want more!
Fading Footsteps: You're welcome~ ^w^

P.S. If yall were wondering why Ye Xiu didn't appear, he was busy helping Guild Happy steal wild bosses at that time XD and when he was done, he didn't bother reading the QQ chat since there's way too many messages and he was not mentioned. As such, (I assumed) Ye Xiu wouldn't bother scrolling through the chat.
Liu Fei is a pro player from Team Tiny Herb (as mentioned by Gravity Tales). However, the character name provided is that of a temporary account Team Tiny Herb used when they went to challenge Ye Xiu, thus, I translated her main acount as Phylla.
Dai Yanqi is a pro player from Team Thunderclap, her in-game character is an elementalist. I didn't know what name to set for her character, since it came from Classical Chinese poetry, and everyone knows how hard it is to understand poetry, let alone translate it. So, if anyone can create a better name let me know, and i'll change it.
Chu Yunxiu is the team captain of Misty Rain, and she is the number one female expert in the Glory scene (according to Ye Xiu), though she isn't as popular as Su Mucheng, thus, not many fans recognize that. The name of her character is 风城烟雨...when you directly translate it...eh...it becomes Windy City in the Misty Rain, which is rather long, so I just cut it short... if anyone can come up with a better name please let me know, I will change it.
