Xiaoxiang Rain, an Old Friend Reads

They were two of Identity V’s best-known Joseph devotees, and fans called them the “Ku Yue” duo, a pair who “loved to fight as much as they loved each other.” Gentle and reserved Kumu Longyin and lively, free-spirited Yuelan were once a perfectly in-sync duo who taught each other the ropes, until a misunderstanding drove them apart. On stream, they traded barbs from afar, calling out “reckless plays” and “deliberate blocking.” But behind the cameras were secret accounts used to keep tabs on each other, chat windows neither could bring themselves to delete, and private messages they hesitated over late into the night. When an official offline collaboration brought them together again, Joseph’s mirror reflected the tenderness and regret of the past, while the blades of the chase carried all the concern they had left unspoken. This push and pull between screen and reality would, beneath the manor’s moonlight, finally turn their “hatred” into a love they could no longer hide.
