My name is Zhuqu Deng. Recently, I've been playing a cultivation game called "Little Frog the Illusionist!" The character I'm raising is a little frog.
His name is Fran. He has blue-green hair and eyes, a bowl cut, and two indigo inverted triangle tattoos beneath his eyes. In short, he's adorable.
So I eagerly started raising him.
I logged in every day, grinding and spending money, until I had watched him grow from a tiny apple-shaped head into a big frog head, and from a little child into a slender, lean teenager.
After completing all the cultivation tasks, I was completely satisfied. Then real life got busy, and I naturally started playing less. To put it plainly, I temporarily quit the game. (Cheerfully.)
Until, while attending a meeting as the heir to the Zhuqu family, I saw an unusually familiar frog head among the attendees across from me.
He was a teenager who looked sixteen or seventeen, with blue-green hair and eyes, a slightly long bowl cut, and two indigo inverted triangle tattoos beneath his eyes. He looked exactly like the character I had been raising.
He was staring straight at me.

The love interest is Fran, the character being raised.

○ Apologies for any OOC characterization.
○ The main story is told in third person.
○ The heroine really does think of it as just a game.
