Introduction Peninsula: A Leisurely Life For A Max-level Striker
As a mixed-race young man born from the marriage between a Wall Street capital tycoon and a Korean chaebol, he was born to stand in the center of Vanity Fair, but he just wanted to guard a whiskey bar closed to the public in the back alley of Itaewon, play football, drink, and avoid all unnecessary human interactions.
Until one rainy night, Cui Xueli, who was on the verge of a cyber attack and emotional breakdown, pushed open the oak door without a sign.
From that night on, his peaceful and lazy life on the peninsula took on a completely different flavor.
On one side is the most cruel and dazzling stage in European football. Li Chixun relied on the "FIFA Green System" and used high scores in real games to slowly push his talents to the top of the world bit by bit. From Bayern's substitute, to the core of a wealthy team, to an era-class forward that has attracted the attention of the entire football world, his path has never been to reach the sky in one step, but the most stable, ruthless and unsolvable path of growth.
On the other side is the undercurrent of the entertainment industry and chaebol world under the neon lights of Seoul. Actresses, trainees, brokerage companies, high-level capital, all people and things that are unattainable in the eyes of the outside world, in front of him are just troubles that can be solved with a glass of wine, a word, and a single move. The bar named Leon's has gradually become the most secret haven for half of the Korean entertainment industry.
He was killing everyone at the Allianz Arena and shielding others from the wind and rain in Itaewon late at night.
He doesn't like to be high-profile, but there are always people forcing him to stand in the center.
This is the story of a max-level forward living leisurely on the peninsula.

If you are searching for a refreshing take on the sports and urban romance genres, Peninsula: A Leisurely Life For A Max-level Striker by Xiao Lu U is an absolute must-read. This novel masterfully blends the high-stakes intensity of professional European football with the moody, neon-soaked allure of Seoul’s elite social circles.
The protagonist, Li Chixun, is a fascinating character study. Born into the rarified world of Wall Street and Korean chaebols, he possesses every advantage imaginable, yet his only desire is to retreat to his private whiskey bar in Itaewon. This duality—the humble, low-profile bartender and the unstoppable, max-level forward terrorizing the Allianz Arena—creates a compelling narrative rhythm. Watching him navigate the "FIFA Green System" to climb the ranks of world-class football is deeply satisfying, particularly because he chooses a path of steady, calculated dominance rather than instant gratification.
What truly sets this story apart is its atmosphere. The author does a brilliant job of contrasting the ruthless, competitive vacuum of elite sports with the complex, shadowy undercurrents of the Korean entertainment industry. When his sanctuary, Leon’s, becomes a refuge for stars like Cui Xueli, the stakes shift from physical athletic prowess to the psychological warfare of celebrity life. Seeing Li Chixun dismantle professional football defenses by day and resolve high-level corporate and personal crises with a single glass of whiskey by night is undeniably cool.
The pacing is deliberate, reflecting the "leisurely" lifestyle the protagonist craves, yet the tension remains palpable. For readers who enjoy stories about geniuses hiding in plain sight, secret havens, and the gritty reality behind the glamour of stardom, this novel offers a perfect escape. It is a stylish, addictive, and deeply satisfying journey of a man who just wants to be left alone but is destined for greatness.
