[Infinite-stream + mild horror + two powerful leads + sweet romance + gap moe + past and present lives]
A career-driven, strong female lead who couldn't care less about romance and only wants to clear the game x a love-struck, yandere, loyal-dog boss who clings to his master every day, begging for cuddles
(The heroine is a huge tomboy at first, allergic to romance, and says things with a straight face that make people want to die. The hero is basically flirting with a blind person.)
Jing Yan Ci (tree form): Master, master, look at me!~
(He poses seductively, doing everything he can to make his master notice him.)
Jiang Mian: ? What kind of nonsense is this? Is there something wrong with this tree?
(She gives him the same blank stare as an old man on the subway looking at his phone, then turns and walks away.)
Jing Yan Ci: ...
What do you do when your master is way too focused on her career?
After clearing a dungeon, Jiang Mian is eager to teleport back to the real world. The next second, countless branches wrap around her waist.
Jiang Mian: ??
“Are you abandoning me again, Master?” The gloomy ghostly man approaches with a hurt look. The little pink flower on top of his head droops sadly as he nuzzles her pitifully.
Jiang Mian: ...
What do you do when your little tree spirit is too good at acting cute?
In her head: Wait, I finished the mission. What gives you the right to stop me from leaving?
Out loud: Be good, I'll bring you some plant food next time, okay?
Jing Yan Ci's eyes light up, and he clings to her like a puppy. “Really?”
Jiang Mian pats his little puppy head with noble resolve. “Of course.”
“Then it's a promise~”
“Don't lie to me again, Master. I'll really go crazy.”
“If you lie to me again, I'll tie you up tight so you can never leave this place for the rest of your life.”
(Some of the scary parts will be made funnier, because writing them scares me too.)
