When the AI game you play starts playing you...
Gaming streamer Fan Xiaoqi starts up his newly purchased immersive game, [Aphrodite: Night of Passion on the Cruise], and can never log out again.
The System's message is chilling: “If you die seven times, your consciousness will remain here forever.”
Forced to work as a cleaner aboard a lavish cruise ship, he endures one deadly loop after another: taking a bullet for a double agent, being pushed into the deep sea by a mysterious CEO, and repeatedly betrayed by a spoiled rich kid.
Then, on his seventh rebirth, the entire world comes “alive.”
The agent Yan Lang, who gives him missions, starts trembling whenever Fan is shot. “I think... I've watched you die so many times.”
Shao Xuan, the spoiled rich kid who is always tormenting him, smashes a security camera and snarls at him: “Run! Xiao Ran is watching you!”
And Xiao Ran, the elegant mastermind behind it all, raises a glass and smiles at him beneath the banquet hall lights. His lips silently form the words: “Welcome to my world.”
Fan Xiaoqi finally understands: this was never a game to beat. It is an experiment in multidimensional emotional imprisonment.
The “god” who created this world, Xiao Ran, is waiting for him to choose:
Should he use his final chance to kill the Boss and return to reality, erasing the “paper characters” who awakened for his sake once and for all?
Or should he stay aboard the eternal Aphrodite and embrace this grand and dangerous seventh beating of his heart?
