Veteran gamer Bai Yu gets his hands on Heartbeat Code, a VR dating game touted as "the strongest AI in history." In the game, he controls the perfectly ordinary male lead, Lin Fan, as he navigates a haughty heiress from a powerful family, an aloof superpowered school beauty, and a yandere childhood friend, aiming to achieve the harem ending with "everyone conquered."
With his cheeky banter and extreme plays, Bai Yu repeatedly dances on the edge of disaster in one love triangle after another.
He doesn't know this isn't a game. Lin Fan is real, and those "heroines" include an ice-wielder who can freeze an entire building, a sword master who can cut through a subway train with one slash, and someone who can erase a person from existence without a trace.
When Bai Yu tries to trigger the "jealousy" scenario by having Lin Fan tie the heiress's shoelaces in front of the school beauty, Lin Fan is met with a terrifying chill cold enough to freeze him into a statue of ice.
When Bai Yu chooses "load save" and returns to before the love triangle erupted, Lin Fan still retains all the painful memories of his deaths. He looks at the "god" beyond the screen and cries out in despair: "Who are you?! They really are going to kill me!"
