In their home territory, winning the championship was a long-cherished dream of Chinese League of Legends players. Now TG finally achieved it, defeating the Korean team in the finals stage, holding their heads high and bringing a spectacular end to this year’s tournament, completely fulfilling LPL’s dream.
Someone released a video of TG’s final base destruction. In the last dozen seconds, as PPE’s base completely exploded, commentators worldwide shouted “Thron Game” in unison. In the Bird’s Nest stadium, thousands of people including commentators and spectators waved TG support signs in celebration. Excited young men with reddened necks clenched their fists and shouted until their throats were hoarse, while tearful girls hugged each other. The scene was so chaotic it couldn’t simply be described as incredible.
At eight o’clock that evening, the news of TG’s championship victory at the Bird’s Nest topped the trending topics. For the five members of TG, this night would be unforgettable.
After the award ceremony, Ultraman and Killer carried the trophy backstage.
Everyone applauded them like returning heroes.
Even the host who had just left the stage came forward to take photos with them. Ultraman excitedly bit his medal with his teeth and said to Van, “It’s so hard!”
Killer could barely look: “You’re such a bumpkin.”
After dealing with everyone else, Chen Yuzheng walked straight to Yu Nuo.
No longer needing to worry about others’ gazes, he stood two steps in front of her, slightly opened his arms, tilted his head, and smiled lazily, “Come here.”
The surrounding crowd was noisy, but his expression was focused, as if she was the only person in his eyes.
Yu Nuo’s eyes reddened as she ran to him, crashing into his embrace.
He whispered in her ear, “Am I amazing?”
Yu Nuo nodded vigorously.
The passing staff members were stunned, unable to help staring.
Countless cameras were recording TG’s moments after winning the championship. Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Chen Yuzheng was actually holding a young girl in his arms??
Seeing this, the people around started teasing them.
The beautiful host whispered to the person beside her: “Is that… Conquer’s girlfriend?”
Xiang Jiajia grinned: “Yes.”
Although she had guessed it, hearing Xiang Jiajia’s answer, the beautiful host still looked disappointed: “What a shame…”
“What’s there to be sorry about?” Xiang Jiajia laughed.
“I’ve actually always liked Conquer quite a bit.” The beautiful host sighed, “Now it seems I’m a step too late.”
Xiang Jiajia questioned: “Didn’t you say you would absolutely never date a man younger than you?”
The beautiful host threw her a flirtatious look: “For Conquer, I would make an exception.”
Someone was filming with a camera, and Killer felt like his eyes were being blinded. Thomas helplessly called out to him: “Conquer, stop showing off your love in public, have some consideration for the single people present.”
Yu Nuo finally came to her senses, realizing everyone around was staring at them. She felt a bit embarrassed and quickly let go.
But Chen Yuzheng remained nonchalant: “You can choose not to look.”
After the post-match interview, the TG team left the Bird’s Nest.
Fans still hadn’t dispersed, crowding around them. The whole way was filled with deafening cheers.
The TG members maintained composed expressions as they waved to their enthusiastic fans.
Once on the bus, their faces instantly relaxed. Ultraman spread his arms and took a deep breath: “Who said Beijing’s air quality is bad? That’s pure slander. I’ve never breathed such sweet air.”
Killer: “…..”
They found a barbecue restaurant for a late-night meal.
Killer and Van clinked beer bottles while singing, and Ultraman, who had also drunk too much, hugged Chen Yuzheng while crying, sobbing and rambling: “Brother Zheng, I’ve finally made something of myself… we really won the championship… and it was the finals… am I dreaming…”
Chen Yuzheng looked annoyed and disgusted, trying to push him away.
Yu Nuo sat to the side, finding this scene strangely heartwarming, feeling warm inside as she watched them with a smile.
The meal lasted until dawn. When the team leader went to pay, the barbecue restaurant owner waved his hand: “It’s free, it’s on the house.”
The team leader was stunned: “Ah, we couldn’t possibly…”
The owner smiled and said: “Don’t be polite with me, you’ve brought glory to our country today.”
The team leader called over the TG members to sign autographs for the barbecue shop owner and take a photo together.
Back at the hotel, Chen Yuzheng and Yu Nuo fell behind the group.
Killer and Ultraman walked arm in arm, swaying as they moved forward, refusing anyone’s help.
Chen Yuzheng suddenly pulled Yu Nuo’s wrist.
She stopped and turned her head: “Hmm?”
He took off the medal from his chest and hung it around her neck.
Yu Nuo looked down at it and hesitantly asked: “What’s… this for?”
Chen Yuzheng: “Take it back to your brother.”
“Huh?”
Looking at her, Chen Yuzheng said casually: “Tell him that Conquer is a serious person, and has also won FMVP now, so his sister belongs to me.”

On the night TG won the championship, Riot’s official account tweeted congratulations to Chen Yuzheng for becoming this year’s finals MVP:
(A remarkable ADC from LPL, dominating an era, he conquered difficulties, he conquered PPE, he conquered everyone, and tonight, he conquered all League of Legends audiences worldwide! His name is Conquer, but no one can conquer him.) [T/N: Original English text kept as is]
At the same time, League of Legends also posted on Weibo:
Congratulations to TG for winning the 2021 LOL World Championship! Thank you for your efforts in letting the world hear LPL’s voice.
[My youth is complete]
[Our story doesn’t end here.]
[Congratulations to TG for painfully losing second place to win the championship!!!]
[Conquer: If only champions will be remembered here — I will defeat everyone. Chen Yuzheng, you really did it, LPL’s new king has been born.]
After showering, Yu Nuo lay in bed, mentally exhausted after an intense day, feeling a bit tired. She opened WeChat, and people who never posted moments were suddenly active, posting six or seven consecutive congratulations to TG.
Scrolling down the list, there were more than a dozen posts all praising TG.
Her former university roommate sent her a short video:
[Just came out of the library, passed by the boys’ dormitory, heard them all shouting for TG, yelling so loud it felt like they would blow the roof off, it was scary…]
Yu Nuo also checked Weibo, scrolling through it. Various TG-related topics were still prominently displayed at the top. Refreshing the homepage, the newest post appeared, from an esports account, screenshot of their Weibo from six months ago: “At that time I guessed this player called Conquer would definitely have a bright future, and now, his era has arrived.”
Seeing this post, Yu Nuo’s finger paused on the screen.
Memories flooded back, and she suddenly felt nostalgic. She scrolled through her album and found the photo she had secretly saved back then.
— After the Spring Finals ended with TG’s defeat. Chen Yuzheng was holding his equipment, preparing to leave the stage. He had lowered eyelids, showing only his profile. On the shoulder of his team uniform, the ID “Conquer” shone brightly.
The lighting and angle were perfect, the background was processed to look dreamlike, Chen Yuzheng and the trophy on stage were on opposite sides, just centimeters apart. Looking so close, yet actually out of reach.
On that night after the semifinals, Chen Yuzheng had asked her if she would be happy if they won the championship. Thinking of this, Yu Nuo switched to her main Weibo account and posted a special congratulatory message for TG’s championship. After posting, she thought for a moment and posted another one, attaching Chen Yuzheng’s photo, directly quoting Riot’s words:
@FishLovesFood: His name is Conquer, but no one can conquer him.
Ten minutes after posting, Yu Nuo’s WeChat vibrated again, receiving a message from Chen Yuzheng.
Conquer: “You secretly saved my photo back then but wouldn’t admit it? Sister just likes to say one thing while meaning another”
Yu Nuo knew what he was talking about, blushed, and typed: “Weren’t you drunk?”
Conquer: “Not that drunk”
Yu Nuo: “……”
Conquer: “So, am I handsome?”
Yu Nuo: “Umm……”
He persisted.
Conquer: “Why so reluctant?”
Yu Nuo: “Handsome”
Conquer: “Waited half a year to finally get this delayed compliment.”
After chatting with him for a while, Yu Nuo’s drowsiness gradually increased. Her eyelids were starting to droop, and just as she was about to put down her phone to sleep, suddenly continuous notification sounds started ringing.
Yu Nuo was startled, thinking something was wrong with her phone. She sat up, opened Weibo, and it froze instantly.
At this moment, Xiang Jiajia, lying beside her, suddenly shouted: “Holy crap, Chen Yuzheng has gone crazy!!!!”
Yu Nuo: “What happened?”
Xiang Jiajia pounced over, handing her the phone: “Look, look!!!!”
Yu Nuo took it, and after looking for a few seconds, understood why her phone had frozen earlier.
Chen Yuzheng had actually reposted her congratulatory Weibo with his main account…..
@TG-Conquer: i was conquered, please kill me //@FishLovesFood: His name is Conquer, but no one can conquer him.
Yu Nuo held the phone, her mind still in a daze.
Xiang Jiajia vigorously shook her shoulders, “Ahhhhhhhhh, I’m going to faint! Chen Yuzheng is so smooth!! He’s too smooth!!!!”
When TG won the championship, Ultraman, Van, and the others all posted their championship feelings, but Chen Yuzheng hadn’t posted anything. Fans had been waiting, urging him, staying up late without sleep, finally waiting for him to post on Weibo.
But, what was this that they waited for?
In the instant of seeing this post, all fans in front of their screens were stunned for a few seconds, startled, even suspecting Chen Yuzheng’s account had been hacked.
Then, the comments started exploding.
[Question mark x140]
[….you’re really something]
[Holy crap, do you have many friends?]
[What are you doing??? What does this sentence mean???? Are you making it official or just playing around??? I’m suffocating]
[Urgently need potassium permanganate for my eyes]
[Thankfully I’m deaf, blind, and don’t know English (pinching the philtrum)]
[Let me translate for those above who don’t understand English: The original post said “no one can conquer him,” Chen Yuzheng said “I was conquered by you”]
[Heh, Kill me??? Why don’t you just Kill your fans!!!!]
Following Chen Yuzheng’s repost, tens of thousands of fans traced back to Yu Nuo’s Weibo.
After about ten minutes of accepting reality, those old fans who had come from Chen Yuzheng’s livestream and had been lurking on Yu Nuo’s Weibo also excitedly expressed in the comments:
[FishLovesFood, it really is you! It really is you!!! I knew it!]
[Little sister, are you there? Go kill Conquer now, fans don’t want to live either TvT We’ll die together with Conquer]
[Tonight, all joy is yours, fans have nothing]
[Are you Conquer’s girlfriend?]
In summary, everyone went crazy.
All of Chen Yuzheng’s wife fans, who hadn’t even had time to be happy for a few hours, collectively landed in the ICU.
Bystanders came to watch and were shocked.
Is there anything more romantic than this?
On the day of winning the world championship finals, you say I conquered the world, and I throw away my armor, willingly being conquered by you.
Of course, the most incredible was what Chen Yuzheng said at the championship awards ceremony: “I came to fulfill her wish.”
[One day, Conquer will be remembered by everyone]
This sentence tattooed on his arm is still pinned at the top of the super topic.
All truth came to light.
— Chen Yuzheng was really in love.
This night was destined to be sleepless, as fans from various LPL teams quickly came to watch the drama unfold.
Looking through the parties’ previous Weibo posts, unexpectedly, there was even more explosive news ahead.
The internet has memory, and some people found it increasingly familiar: Wait, wait….. something seems a bit off….
With doubts in mind, everyone checked Yu Nuo’s Weibo following list again, and after confirming several times, bystanders were shocked:
Wow, she really was mutually following Yu Ge.
At this point, after TG fans, everyone exploded: What the hell is going on?? Am I going blind? Isn’t this blogger Fish’s sister??? Chen Yuzheng and Fish’s sister making it official????
Everyone went crazy over this gossip, the earthquake of this drama even affected other circles, attracting many uninformed onlookers to watch.
LPL fans came out to give an analogy to the spectating crowd – Conquer and Fish’s sister being together was roughly equivalent to — Cao Cao and Liu Bei becoming in-laws, that’s how ridiculous this was.
This matter was already shocking enough, but who knew there was something even more magical ahead — Chen Yuzheng’s officially announced partner turned out to be his circle’s arch-enemy Fish’s sister.
Most crucially, these two were both currently hot star players in the circle, always avoiding each other like oil and water.
Tonight could definitely be listed as one of LPL’s annual explosive events.
Spectators: The internet is truly amazing.
Sharp-eyed netizens dug up past clues, including why previously all TG members reposted support for Yu Ge, yet only Chen Yuzheng played it cool, lining up to get a number plate.
At the time, everyone thought he was just being playful again, treating it as a joke and letting it go, who knew there were hidden meanings within.
A series of question marks floated through netizens’ minds: Is this reasonable?
So, half an hour later, Chen Yuzheng’s Weibo exploded again. Not only that, but Yu Ge’s Weibo was also completely overrun.
Everyone frantically tagged Yu Ge: Are you there? Are you okay? Still busy with matches? Do you know your house is on fire? Your sister is gone!
[What’s going on? TG and OG’s century-old feud resolved??? (Petrified)]
[What the fuck??? You got Fish’s sister??? ]
[Resolution? Are you blind? This is straight-up marriage alliance!!!]
[Conquer: Heard you like backdooring Fish? Watch me take your whole base, surprised?]
Fish’s fans ate this melon only to find it was about themselves, collectively expressing: Is this acceptable?
Those who had previously lined up on Yu Ge’s Weibo to be recognized as brothers-in-law angrily typed on their keyboards: Kill Chen dog, steal sister back!!!!!
Heartbroken TG fans: Oh, it’s Fish’s sister? Then it’s fine, after all, our prodigal son married up.
Only Chen Yuzheng’s fans were the most humble: If you want to curse, curse Conquer, it’s the main character’s actions, nothing to do with the fans.
In the comments section, various TG members also left messages:
First floor, TG-Killer: [Respect bro]
Second floor, TG-Ultraman: [Conquer went crazy–]
In the floor comments, Van continued Ultraman’s words: [@OG-Fish]
Third floor, TG-Thomas: [This is Conquer’s personal backdoor operation, nothing to do with his teammates, OG fans should just curse him.]
…
…
Besides Weibo, even Tieba and various forums were turned upside down.
At four or five in the morning, Chen Yuzheng posted another Weibo.
@TG-Conquer: Thanks for asking. Thanks for everyone’s concern, everything is going well, and I’ve already received my love number plate.
