(Both leads are romantically inexperienced + gaming + healing + raising a character + sweet romance + no over-the-top melodrama)
Gu Jinyue, who had to split every dollar into three just to get by while feuding with her family, stumbled upon a game that promised a thousand dollars just for downloading it.
The game had gorgeous graphics and lifelike character interactions. Gu Jinyue was captivated by her little game character in an instant.
The game’s broken protagonist, Qin Huai’an, had lost his parents at a young age and was now stuck with an uncaring adoptive family and cruel younger siblings.
Gu Jinyue stayed by his side from the time he was thirteen until he turned eighteen, raising the frail boy into a bright young man with a promising future. Once she officially completed the game, it disappeared automatically.
Qin Huai’an had thought he was special, that meeting and growing close to A-Yue was more than enough. He hadn’t dared to hope for anything more.
He never imagined that even this much happiness would be denied him.
Just as he was filled with hope for the future, the person who had given him hope for life stopped appearing altogether.
Then one day, he saw her, and knew at a glance that she was his A-Yue.
He would never let her get away again: his fiancée.
Held tightly in Qin Huai’an’s arms, Gu Jinyue couldn’t make sense of it. Her old joke about keeping a boyfriend in her phone had really just been a joke.
