Dual male leads
Xiao Tian (top) x Wei Nuohe (bottom)
Childhood sweethearts, separated for years, reunited and caught in years of unspoken tension
Sunny, cheerful, big-hearted top x calm, rational, occasionally sharp-tongued bottom
A small ensemble cast, with a little angst

Xiao Tian is an upstanding young man of the new century, a technical genius with countless fans on his livestreaming platform. He is famous for saying, “There’s no game bug I can’t fix and no level Brother Xiao can’t beat.”
Wei Nuohe is a low-key streamer on the same platform, known for puzzle-solving and brainteasers. He goes online just once a week, but solves an entire game in one sitting, faster than anyone else on the internet.
One specializes in gameplay, the other in puzzles.
And so...
One day, a mysterious being calling itself [This Clock] dragged everyone into a game world. It declared that they could only save their own world by clearing every [game]. Otherwise, their world would be destroyed and their era would come to an end.
The people voted to have these two experts tackle the games together.
Except...
Wasn’t this supposed to be a brainless, side-scrolling platform game? How did it turn into a horror survival escape game later on?
Wei Nuohe: “Any idea what’s going on?”
Xiao Tian: “...So back then, were you actually planning to confess to me?”
Wei Nuohe: “No. (Looks away)”
Xiao Tian: “(Silence)...Then neither was I. (Looks away)”
Audience: “...?”
[Big brothers, where have you dragged me? Is this what I came here to watch?]
[Is this what we’re supposed to be talking about?]
[Great, we’re doomed.]
[Don’t panic, there’s a twist.]
[...Post that upside-down screenshot again and I’m seriously going to have someone deal with you.]
Not bad [get it][get it][get it]
Come on [blowing kiss]
