Can a Gaming Geek Be a Substitute Bride?

After Bai Xiling differentiated into a defective omega, the snobbish Bai family sent her to a remote, low-tier star and placed her under house arrest without telling anyone.

Then she happily spent ten years playing video games at home.

Bai Xiling: I wouldn't tell you to spend your whole life with video games, because I'm the one who's going to spend my whole life with them!

Then, on the night of her eighteenth birthday, while she stayed up all night waiting for a new game to unlock, a Bai family spaceship descended in front of her tiny rental apartment, its searchlight blazing.

Apparently, her legendary super-S-class omega twin sister, Bai Xunyin, the perfect young lady whom the Bai family had pinned all its hopes on and trained in every skill imaginable, had caused a stir with the Empire's four most influential figures, then eloped with the most wanted pirate in the galaxy!

To avoid being consumed by the four heirs' fury, Bai Xiling was pushed into taking her sister's place.

But if Bai Xunyin was perfect, then Bai Xiling was a complete disaster.

Though the Bai family publicly claimed their eldest daughter had hit her head and lost her memory, explaining her odd behavior as temporary, it was hard for anyone to miss that something was off about her.

After all, she never dared to make eye contact when speaking to people. Whenever a man came near, she'd instantly teleport three meters away. If she left the house for more than two hours, her eyes would glaze over and she'd start crawling around in the shadows. When nervous, she'd blurt out obscure jokes only terminally online nerds could understand. And when mecha came up, she'd suddenly get excited and declare that she wanted to marry the latest XTB8700 intelligent mecha...

Bai Xiling, who met a business tycoon and blurted out a request for him to fund a sequel to some obscure game while they were discussing his companies: I'm doomed.

Bai Xiling, who met the imperial heir, used going to the bathroom as an excuse to hide in a closet and play dead, only to get caught: I'm doomed again.

Bai Xiling, who met the Empire's most desired playboy aristocrat and, due to a pheromone allergy, accidentally threw up on him: I'm really doomed.

Bai Xiling, who met the supreme commander of the military district, had her legs shaking and tried to climb into a car to flee the scene, only to be caught on the spot as a spy: I'm absolutely doomed.

Bai Xiling: Help! Why isn't my life over yet?
