Main cast

Tong Nian

edit

Portrayed by Yang Zi a talented computer major who is also a popular online singer.[1] She is optimistic, cheerful, soft, and cute. She is very obedient, attentive, and very sensible. She is attending the youth class at the university and has the same high IQ as the male lead Han Shangyan. After she fell in love with Han Shangyan at first sight, she chose to take the initiative to approach each other and bravely pursue love, but she did not do so blindly. Although Tong Nian loved Han Shangyan very much, she couldn't extricate herself without falling in love and have her own dreams and pursuits.[2]

Han Shangyan/Gun

edit

Portrayed by Li Xian a computer genius, a high-cold e-sports idol. Han is a legend in the e-sports world. He has climbed to the top, has fallen through the trough, and has experienced strong winds and waves.[3] He was originally the only investor and main member of the Solo team. Has won more than ten international championships, including multiple personal world rankings, the most dominant player with two MVP.[4] After exiting the team, he established the K & K club. His dream is to take the club's young players to attack the world champion of cybersecurity CTF competitions. Other than that, he has nothing else in his eyes. In the eyes of his teammates, he is "the boss who is not close to women".[5]

He is persistent in his dreams and sticks to his beliefs, but he has some physical deficiencies in many of the outside world’s warmth and coldness. Maintaining a sense of vigilance and distance, this has a great relationship with his native family growing environment. Han Shangyan grew up with his grandfather and stepmother. His parents are deceased. His mother died giving birth to him. His father died a few years after remarriage, leaving his stepmother to bring him up (episode 13). Although he grew up with his grandfather, although he gained a lot of love, the relationship was ambivalent, fraught with misunderstanding. Parents' feelings are different. Father's words and lessons, and the company of his mother, can make a person's character grow fully, and Han Shangyan's childhood lacked these precious things. Like a prince of ice, he is very good at many things. Maintaining indifference and vigilance, he developed a meticulous and serious attitude towards life. And this is exactly what his family left him with.[6] His “don’t care” about anything other than work is in stark contrast to his fanatical pursuit of career ideals; privately, he secretly covers the players’ quilts and cares about their lives. He has fascinated a lot of girls, but he has not been interested in dating.[2]
