When Tang Xiaoou was six, she showed talent in piano, math, swimming, and other fields. During a piano lesson, she happened to see a boy a few years older than her playing a Red Alert game on a tablet. From then on, she became hooked on gaming. To play games, she deliberately stopped studying piano, math, swimming, and all the other things she had been talented at. By her senior year of high school, her parents had divorced, and she had become notorious at school as an internet-addicted girl. Trapped in a lonely world, Tang Xiaoou chose to leave it all behind on November 3, a magical Sunday. Her classmate Xia Yuchen miraculously saved her, but died in the process. Xia Yuchen was the top student at school, and everyone mourned that he had died saving Tang Xiaoou. He was also the only boy who understood her love of gaming. The only promise they made to each other while he was alive was that Xia Yuchen would design a game destined to dominate the gaming world, and Tang Xiaoou would become the champion of its tournament. After his death, Tang Xiaoou swept the top spots in several gaming competitions on her own, then moved into game design. Ten years later, she completed a romance game called The Prince's House, dedicated to Xia Yuchen's memory. It was the first game in the industry to center on romance and use cutting-edge technology to merge real people playing the game with their in-game characters. During the game's testing phase, the president of the Delos Esports Hotel and others joined in, setting off a tug-of-war of romantic encounters, some real and some fake.
How will a woman who's been aloof her whole life and never married tell the genuine suitors from the fakes in the game? Is love really just a game?
I don't understand, it's not a game, nor is love
