During the summer after the college entrance exams, Jiang Lang wanted to escape his mom’s relentless matchmaking efforts, so he randomly found a “jungle-carry girl” in a game with a sweet voice and terrible skills, then pretended she was his online girlfriend.
They laid down three ground rules: they were just gaming buddies, she was only there to help him get his mom off his back, and they would never bring it into real life.
But Jiang Lang never imagined that the jungler he kept teasing for being “so bad she must be playing with her feet” was actually none other than Song Shiyun: his classmate of three years, the girl he’d secretly loved throughout high school, and the unattainable top student who was the moonlight of his life!
The elegant, aloof academic goddess was secretly a hardcore gaming addict who stayed up all night, played unbelievably badly, and was fiercely competitive?
To get closer to Jiang Lang, Song Shiyun hid her identity and played the part of a sweet, thoughtful little online girlfriend, spending every day with him as they wreaked havoc across the Rift.
Then one day, Jiang Lang turned his story about secretly loving the girl he admired into a web novel and foolishly read it aloud as a bedtime story to his “online girlfriend”...
“There’s someone I’ve always loved, but she’s so amazing that I could never be good enough for her.”
There was silence on the other end of the call for three seconds.
Then the cool, familiar voice he knew best spoke up:
“Jiang Lang, then take a guess: who’s the terrible jungler who spends every night duo-queuing with you and listening to your stories about your secret crush?”
When his secret was exposed, Jiang Lang froze solid.
Early the next morning, Song Shiyun showed up at his door, a smile in her eyes and a gentle yet unmistakably firm tone in her voice:
“We agreed to pretend to be a couple, but since you’ve been secretly in love with me for so long, let’s make it real now.”
“From now on, I’m taking charge of both your game screen and the boundaries of your life.”
