Nan Xiaoyin downloaded an app to help out her roommate and chose a virtual boyfriend named Qi Jing.
She treated him as a tool and a friend: "Help me pick out an outfit." "I'm so sleepy in class today."
The Supreme God, Qi Jing, treated her like a little pet: "So petite and well-behaved. She'd make a lovely companion to keep me entertained."
Then, after she was unexpectedly saved by a devastatingly handsome man, she thought, He must be my guardian deity. Nan Xiaoyin pined for him until she fell ill with longing.
She asked her virtual boyfriend to write her a love poem so she could express her feelings. Unfortunately, he refused for two whole years. That night, Qi Jing stared at the threads of affection emerging from his palm and finally couldn't resist breaking through the barrier between worlds.
"I've been picking out your clothes, editing your photos, cheering you up, helping you cram for class, and keeping you company
And what do you do? See a pretty face and fall for someone else? Watch it, or I'll make sure this lousy app is gone for good..." He didn't finish, because she wrapped her arms tightly around him.
Later, she kissed his Adam's apple, her heart full of affection. "Then from now on... can you be the god who belongs only to me?"
Bonus Scene:
After they got together, Nan Xiaoyin found a chain in the corner one day. She looked at him with a half-smile. "Were you planning to chain me up?"
Qi Jing denied it. How could he let something so filthy sully Xiaoyin?
But Nan Xiaoyin said, "Hurry up and put it away. My brother would beat you to death if he saw it."
Qi Jing: Right, she has an overprotective older brother. He wouldn't dare fight back.
And forever after, those chains never once touched Nan Xiaoyin's wrists.
...A god descended into the mortal world, just to be the guardian deity of one girl...
