On the first day of his second year of high school, Zhou Huai skipped class and passed by the basketball court. Someone accidentally hit him with a ball. When he opened his eyes, he was in a hospital, and he had a boyfriend.

His boyfriend told him he was now twenty-six and had lost his memory.

That boyfriend was also the person who had hit him with the basketball back then.

His boyfriend said that after Zhou Huai had pursued him relentlessly for a year, they became a couple. Zhou Huai couldn't just use amnesia as an excuse to go back on his word.

Zhou Huai felt a little embarrassed, so he dutifully played the role of a perfect boyfriend and even managed to fall for his boyfriend all over again.

Then he learned from someone else that their relationship wasn't what his boyfriend had told him.

He hadn't had a crush on his boyfriend in high school, and they hadn't reunited at work, where he pursued him for a year.

Their relationship had actually been downright hostile.

Zhou Huai and He Qiuchao had been famous for not getting along ever since high school. The former was a pampered rich kid, while the latter was an impoverished student with nothing to his name.

They thought they would go their separate ways after high school, but eight years later, the poor student had become a popular actor and the rich kid had become a company CEO. And, of course, they still couldn't stand each other.

Zhou Huai had He Qiuchao beat in every way, making him grit his teeth in secret. Eventually, he finally found a way to get under Zhou Huai's skin.

After Zhou Huai got into a car accident and lost his memory, He Qiuchao lied and told him they were a couple, and that Zhou Huai had pursued him.

Zhou Huai believed him. He Qiuchao was delighted.

But eighteen-year-old Zhou Huai was nothing like the cool, reserved, poker-faced CEO Zhou had become at twenty-six.

He asked He Qiuchao why he wasn't coming home and why he was rumored to be involved with someone else.

Did he not love him anymore?

He Qiuchao wanted to laugh. Once Zhou Huai got his memories back, he would be so embarrassed he'd want to jump off a building.

But He Qiuchao suddenly started fearing that Zhou Huai would regain his memories.

Every time they embraced, every time they kissed, he was afraid Zhou Huai would suddenly push him away.

And call him disgusting.

A cool, haughty CEO bottom before losing his memory, awkward and blunt afterward

X

A charming-on-the-outside, headstrong celebrity top with few scruples

1. The bottom will regain his memories later. I can't promise whether there'll be a groveling arc, or whether it'll be satisfying. It's all just a game between the couple. Neither lead is a good person!!! Go ahead and curse them out, but they're stuck together, so please don't curse me out.

2. The amnesia starts right away. Both before and after losing his memories, they're each other's only partners, so rest assured.

3. This is a story born of my personal tastes. If you curse me out, I'll just slink away.

4. The entertainment-industry details are all made up, so don't take them too seriously. It's all just for fun. It really is full of melodrama!

At work, Chu Chen had the reputation of being a workaholic. Nothing but work seemed to interest him.

Then one day, his assistant discovered that he was playing a game.

They weren't sure exactly what kind, but they knew their boss, Mr. Chu, was buying clothes for a little character in the game and changing its outfits.

Was it a dress-up game, something like a certain fashion game?

The assistant wondered.

But that didn't seem right. The assistant also saw Chu Chen leave the game open on the side and glance at it while handling work. It even looked like he was talking to someone in it.

At last, the assistant figured it out. It was a dating game! Who would've thought that their seemingly desireless boss, whose mind was full of work, would play a dating game?

Chu Chen had downloaded a game on a whim. It promised that players could choose an identity and experience a different life.

He created a little character in the game named An Xianyi. He was adorable and fun to be around.

For the first time, Chu Chen found himself emotionally invested in a virtual character.

He couldn't help checking what An Xianyi was doing and hoping he was happy.

The game offered a great deal of freedom. An Xianyi seemed like a real person. He could chat with Chu Chen through a dialogue box, had preferences of his own, such as disliking work in the orchard, and would even hide on purpose to make Chu Chen look for him.

Then, one day, An Xianyi really vanished from the game. Chu Chen checked for every kind of bug, but couldn't get An Xianyi to load again.

Yet in the real world, someone appeared who looked just like the An Xianyi from the game.

He looked exactly like the one who had disappeared from Chu Chen's phone, and his personality was the same, too.

A restrained top who is healed by the bottom every day x an adorable, innocent bottom who doesn't know it

*The top isn't playing a dating game. The game is made up by the author.
