[Transmigration + virtual world + AI characters + smart leads + no second male or female lead + episodic structure + celebrity gossip + reborn princess consort + strange tales of demons + Republican-era mysteries + foreign sorcery + lots of sweetness with a little angst]
(The story is told from both leads' perspectives at first, then shifts to an omniscient third-person perspective.)
The virtual world is deeper than the sea. One wrong turn, and every step brings a new surprise...
Our overworked heroine is slacking off at work when she accidentally transmigrates into a virtual world. Her boss says he'll do his best to save her, but not making things worse would be a win in itself!
The heroine's arrival in the virtual world is a nightmare from the start, but she keeps searching for a way back to reality.
The hero, Shuofeng, is an AI character with a mercenary nature. He was never meant to know he was virtual, but ever since he met the heroine, the course of his fate has slowly begun to change...
In the virtual world, the two leads encounter all kinds of AI characters, ranked into a rigid hierarchy: a fortune-telling elder, a top-tier star, a female idol, a girl with Stockholm syndrome, a reborn princess consort, a seemingly loyal guard, an innocent young maid, an ambitious regent, a domineering CEO, a shrewd tavern owner, a flower spirit elder sister, a bird spirit younger sister, a rich second-generation shop assistant, a faded star, a Republican-era detective, a witch from the Thousand Birds tribe, and many others.
And of course, there's the sweet romance that blossoms as the leads spend every day together! At first, they can't stand each other, but after enduring all kinds of hardships, they come to see each other differently, growing more in sync and cherishing one another more and more.
But can a romance between a human and a virtual character last?
