Which Lunatic Wins Over Bosses by Acting Cute?

[Infinite Flow] [Two Male Leads] [Light Ensemble Cast] [Bottom Lead]

Shi Jing is a mentally ill patient who loves courting death.

He lives by the motto, "If I don't die this time, I'll try again next time." So when he accidentally wanders into a horror game, his reaction is simply: Get that death-seeking exploration score, oh yeah!

While working at a shady hotel, he adds monsters to the buffet as ingredients.

While attending a certain high school, he reverses time and creates the boss with his own hands.

While on a certain rail line, he casually tosses a magnet and triggers a drastic change in the instance.

And that's not all. Trouble follows his teammates, too:

A timid but perceptive graduate student: "Who on earth chooses someone who'd stab their own team in the back to be captain?"

A pure and innocent college girl: "He really is sick in the head."

A six-year-old kid: "He even steals from children. Shameless."

A fellow patient who faints at the sight of blood: "As expected of my bro Shi, so cool. Ugh."

Shi Jing's luck is hit or miss, but every time he manages to stop just short of dying. He's always wondered why.

Until one day, a cool guy who makes a dramatic entrance hugs him and coquettishly explains that he's been working diligently to earn merits for someone, hoping to build up that person's luck.

Shi Jing behaves himself after that.

Shi Jing (without his family in tow): This bootleg game is great, though it does cost a bit of blood.

Shi Jing (with his husband equipped): Well-behaved, cute, and harmless.

Gentle, guiding top x death-seeking bottom (actually, a duo who just love having fun)

Content warning: The bottom really is mentally ill, and his worldview is twisted. If you don't like his character, feel free to skip this. The romance is limited, and this isn't a power fantasy. The protagonist relies on his wits, and there isn't much conflict.

The writing, themes, and characters are all rather immature.

Inspired by tabletop role-playing game settings.
