[Plot-driven instances + two strong, highly intelligent leads + childhood friends + ensemble cast + mutual healing + adversaries-to-lovers + heroine firmly in control]
Tan Shuang is suddenly pulled into the Royal Dominion game. In the instance preparation lobby, she spots Li Junyan, her crush and rival, who is also a new player. She shamelessly tags along, only to find that her very first instance is S-rank. What's more, she and Li Junyan are forced to team up!
After finally clearing the instance, she expects things to follow a normal progression. But who could have guessed that the next instances would be S-rank, SS-rank... Does this lousy game have no normal difficulty levels? Tan Shuang is at a loss, the players are in an uproar, and the System falls apart...
Ever since the whole region was notified that two players with garbled names had cleared an S-rank instance, the two top-tier IDs "," and "." have climbed steadily up the rankings, eventually reaching the top. But how did they end up on the game's blacklist instead?
A proud yet insecure, outwardly unhinged heroine × a brooding, sharp-tongued, secretly sulky male lead who acts tough
(The heroine pursues the male lead early on, and he has a past love, but neither lead's early feelings are genuine. The heroine has the absolute upper hand in their relationship. No rivalry between women.)
