Partner projects? No worries, they will never choose each other. They know working together is impossible. There are no words to describe them other than academic rivals. Being next-door neighbors only made their competition stronger. Will Dakota be able to follow in his father's footsteps fast enough or will Nyla beat him to the number one spot? The end of the first semester is approaching faster than one could speak. Which star student will be labeled Valedictorian? Only the two-digit number most would call GPA will let them find out. Oh rivalry. This should be fun. ✰dual point of view ✰can be read as a stand-alone #1 in rivals 11/12/2021

This is my version of the C-Drama Falling into your smile based on the book You're beautiful when you smile( https://mydramalist.com/49241-falling-into-your-smile) . This is the story of Tang Yao, China's first professional e-sports player and Lu Sicheng billionaire, heart throb and god of e-sports. The story follows the rise and fall of their lives as they compete in China's LPL and eventually at the League of Legends world tournament in Vegas! Note- I didn't like how some scenes were depicted especially on the DDH translation. So I have re-imagined it. First couple of chapters are closer to the story line but the story diverges after that. The story does follow the loose outline of the original, but the individual events may in a different order, has some new plot points and character backgrounds. This is a labor of love for myself and all the fanfiction aficionados out there! Disclaimer - I don't own the characters. I'm not a native Mandarin speaker and I don't game!
