A morally complex shou x a loyal, patient gong
Two male leads + interstellar livestreaming + farming + cozy vibes
Shi Muyi wakes in a hibernation pod in a laboratory. He has no idea what time it is or where he is. All he knows is that this isn't his body.
After finally escaping the lab, he runs into a giant snake and flees with the robot that helped him. Fortunately, they escape its jaws without serious harm.
The lab stands in an endless forest. When he finally makes it out, he finds a black snake. After a difficult journey, the man, the snake, and the robot emerge from the forest, only to find themselves penniless. They reach a small town and spend the night sleeping on the street.
To support his family, Shi Muyi starts livestreaming. From the very beginning, a mysterious person holds the top spot in his channel's rankings, always there whenever he goes live.
They even shower him with Star Sea gifts, complete with ten-minute screen-filling effects, just to make him smile.
Later, the little black snake from his home disappears for a while, and the mysterious person in his livestream disappears too...
After that, viewers notice that the food streamer they follow has a quiet, black-haired man with golden eyes by his side. The two are intimate, gazing at each other with unmistakable affection and feeding the audience a steady diet of couple sweetness.
