Turns Out a Top-Tier Star Is My Neighbor

Lin Xingmian is a hidden technical genius in the gaming world. By day, she's a socially anxious illustrator; by night, she becomes the legendary healer “Mianmian Bujue” in the full-immersion game Starbound Era, earning fame with her incredible healing and uncanny predictions.

To pay for her mother's surgery, she's forced to accept a lucrative contract to team up with the mysterious gaming star “Mo Chen” and climb the rankings. She expects to ride his coattails to an easy win, but he's not only ruthless in his gameplay, he also keeps making advances on her in-game.

“Healer, stay close. You're the only one getting my buffs.”

“You can have the dungeon rewards. I just want you to keep me company while I idle.”

“Send me your real address. I'll get you custom gear.”

Lin Xingmian warily blocks him. “We can talk about games, but not feelings!”

Then one day, the mysterious top-tier star Gu Yanchen moves in next door. Handsome and seemingly chaste, he keeps knocking on her door with hot milk when she's up gaming late, quietly stepping in to control the comments when online haters attack her, and even produces irrefutable evidence when she's framed by a game hacker.

At the offline grand finals of Starbound Era, Lin Xingmian takes off her gaming headset and discovers that the champion “Mo Chen,” adored by the crowd onstage, is none other than her ever-thoughtful neighbor, Gu Yanchen!

The man hands her the championship trophy, years of tenderness hidden in his eyes. “Lin Xingmian, in the game, our accounts are linked. In real life, I want to be linked to you for the rest of your life.”

It turns out that from the very first time she rescued the “newbie” Mo Chen when he was being mobbed in the game, he had already fallen for this sweet, spirited girl through the screen.
