Synopsis

(The rating just came in, so it’ll go up later)

[Everyone’s favorite, a love-triangle battlefield, feel-good gaming, an irresistible, cool, straight male lead who’s handsome and overpowered, a scheming, darkly clingy top who acts like the official partner while giving off mistress energy, and a cast of guys who all fall for the male lead]

Lian Bai was unruly and arrogant from childhood, doing whatever he pleased. He was a notorious school bully, and everyone who saw him had to call him boss.

Later, Lian Bai turned over a new leaf. In college, he decided to play some games and become a good young man, joining his buddies to conquer the game world.

But why were his buddies acting so weird?

I say I’d take a knife for my bros, and you say, “Bro, you smell so good”?

I say I’ll help your guild thrive, and you say you want to be my sugar daddy?

I say friendship comes first and we’re just here to practice, and you chase me down asking if we should be a couple, insisting you’re the only one meant for me?

Lian Bai didn’t get it. Why did his buddies always have their eyes on him when he was such a handsome straight guy?

To prove he was straight, Lian Bai decided to find a pretty girl in the game to be his partner and help him fight off his buddies’ relentless advances. But there weren’t any pretty girls around. There was, however, one of his buddies volunteering to play a female character. Well, whatever. Pretending to be a couple with a buddy wasn’t a big deal, at least it was a girl’s character, right?

Wait, weren’t we just pretending to be a couple? Why are you climbing into my bed in the middle of the night, bro?

Lian Bai: Unaware that he’s constantly attracting admirers and making his buddies covet him.

Shen Yu: Busy every day pleasing his darling and outwitting the rivals who covet him, while getting into petty fights with them.

It's a great read, the descriptions are natural, and it's very engaging. I could totally ship the straight man trope forever! Goddess, I'll follow you to the death! The protagonist has a great personality, and so far there are no issues. The story has some humor, but the author does a great job portraying the unawareness of a straight man's flirting. 👍 It's so addictive!

Let me give myself a good review first as encouragement~

This is so good! Fans of the "Man-Magnet" character are going to be ecstatic! There are no side couples, and even Bai Baobao is so handsome—broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs! I wonder if there will be any live streams featuring the main characters later on? I'm so jealous, I want to see them all swooning over Bai Baobao's good looks!

Hmm, how come he's still a baby? But he already smells so good! It feels like the synopsis has already pretty much explained the plot. As a high-quality straight man, Lian Bai has a particularly good physique, and Shen Yu can't resist him no matter what he tries. Our well-behaved little Yu makes Lian Bai feel especially at ease.

It's super good, but I forgot to rate it 😢. I'll catch up now. Bai Ge's straight-man charm is incredibly satisfying, and his character's appeal gradually unfolds from the game to real life 😘😘. Initially, I was drawn in by the keyboard game + brotherhood turning sour (if you like this premise, you should check it out). I haven't read much of it, maybe because I'm not particularly interested in this genre; it's quite different from keyboard games, but the character development is very enjoyable.

All you tropes about handsome tops and masculine bottoms, domineering protagonists, straight men, and their adorable little wives, just stay together forever!

This is so good!! It's totally my cup of tea. I never expected to find such a gem! 🤓👆 The writing style is very natural and not awkward. However, I have a question about the author: the more I read this novel, the more familiar the game setting seems. It really resembles the world of Yan Yun! (Maybe it's because I haven't played many martial arts games; apologies if I've offended anyone.)

It's actually quite a good ship, but is Shen Yu really a Siamese cat turned human?? Oh my god... A straight man who's irresistible, has a romantic pairing, straight men turned gay, a scheming, brooding cat beauty 1 x a handsome, straight gaming god 0.

Delicious, delicious! This cool, straight guy with a great body is amazing! 😍 My heart is racing 😘 My breathing is quickening 😍 My ability to purify smog surpasses that of the rainforest 😊 I will become the new lungs of the Earth 🤤 I'll turn the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau into a basin with a thud 😙 I'll cry until the South-to-North Water Diversion Project is no longer needed 😋 I'll howl until the wind power generated supplies the world's population.
