In the eyes of many, her resume is simply a 'hacked life':
She was the top science student in Inner Mongolia, graduated in the top 2 of her architecture undergraduate program, worked hard in the architecture industry until her third year of graduate school, and during that time interned at major planning and design institutes. If she had followed the traditional path, she could have settled down steadily in the traditional industry and become an admired senior architect.
But no one expected that she actually found her stage in the world of games.
'Life is not planned out; it's walked out through inspiration and intuition.' This is the advice her mentor gave her and also her motto later in life.
She says she doesn't dislike the architecture major; it's just that in this traditional industry, she saw too much helplessness: drawing for 007, staying up late to revise plans, yet receiving the lowest standard salary in the city...
So, she chose a completely different path: to become a female esports streamer.
This decision, netizens couldn't stand: 'TOP2 trained a skilled architect, and you gave the country a game streamer instead?'
In the face of doubt, her response was both calm and spicy: 'Architects and streamers are both professions; worthiness comes from within, and greatness depends on effort.' She spoke with confidence.
What is even more surprising is that she later married an esports player who is seven years younger than her, and the man's education level is only junior high. This couple, who seem 'mismatched', shine brightly in their respective fields:
She is already a benchmark in the esports circle, has established a company, developed game shows, and even plans to enter game development; while the man is also making a name for himself in the esports world.
Some netizens mockingly joked: 'The Tsinghua goddess seven years older than me fell in love with a boy with yellow hair!'
It is rumored that Shiyue's younger brother has a college diploma, and that man is a professional player that his brother likes, so he introduced him to his sister. YJJ is actually quite underwhelming among the streamers and not very good at playing professionally, but his emotional intelligence is indeed quite high and he's very good at handling situations.
But the fact proves that her choice not only did not delay her, but instead allowed her to achieve economic independence and professional breakthroughs.
Looking back after ten years, her choice seems exceptionally wise.
In traditional industries, individual creativity has been almost worn away; but in the esports industry, she found her own space.
