The Shared White Moonlight

[Honest, traditional wife heroine vs. cold, fiercely boundary-conscious hero]

Tang Fu is gentle and conservative. She has been married to Meng Yuanchuan for years, and their relationship has always been good. One day, her husband specially clears his schedule to take her to experience a couples' intimacy game called "Heartbound Island."

"Heartbound Island" is an immersive neural VR game designed specifically for wealthy couples. By simulating crises in extreme environments, it helps partners who have grown distant or whose relationships are on the verge of collapse rebuild their attachment and bond.

They say that after playing, partners who were once aloof see their affection ratings rise by an average of 82%, and the success rate for repairing marriages reaches as high as 90%.

The rules are simple: Couples have to clear every instance together before they can leave their game pods.

Tang Fu thinks her husband wants to strengthen their relationship, and a long-forgotten sweetness stirs in her heart.

On the day they arrive at the gaming club, she unexpectedly runs into another couple: Xu Yingxin and Huo Yao.

The four of them went to the same school. Tang Fu knows that Xu Yingxin was her husband's first love, but she never had the nerve to tell anyone that she once secretly wrote a love letter to Huo Yao, too.

After graduation, she and her husband's respective first loves became husband and wife. After all their twists and turns, they unexpectedly meet again at the gaming club.

The moment she enters the game, the ground drops away beneath Tang Fu's feet, and she falls straight into a snow pit.

She struggles to climb out and searches everywhere for her husband, but all she sees is Huo Yao shoveling snow not far away.

Huo Yao was the top student everyone at school admired, aloof and looking down on everyone.

Only after graduation did Tang Fu learn that he was the heir to one of the most powerful families.

As she searches for her husband, the System's cold, mechanical voice sounds beside her ear:

[Low-temperature environment detected. Human body temperature is continuing to fall. Sharing body heat is recommended to stay alive.]

[Current intimacy task: Hug for five minutes.]

[Failure to complete the task will deduct personal game points. Reaching zero points will trigger the punishment mechanism.]

Tang Fu's heart sinks: The System has paired them incorrectly, binding her and Huo Yao as a couple.

The countdown on her wrist keeps ticking, and her heart tightens little by little.

Huo Yao's voice is cool and low. "Whose points are getting deducted this time?"

Tang Fu murmurs, "Mine."

"Then I can relax."

Huo Yao's voice turns icy as he lowers his head and continues shoveling.

Knowing better than to bother him, Tang Fu keeps her distance and plans to clear the game and get out as soon as she can on her own.

Before long, both her and Huo Yao's scores are on the verge of running out, and the environment keeps getting worse.

They have no choice but to cooperate, while the System's tasks grow more and more outrageous:

[Interlace your fingers to activate the survival equipment.]

[Pass the melted snow water from mouth to mouth.]

[Use your fingers to...]

Every task pushes past Tang Fu's boundaries, yet she has no choice but to obey the game's instructions.

Her mind in turmoil, she keeps reassuring herself: It's just completing tasks. It doesn't mean anything. Her husband must be figuring something out. He'll definitely come rescue her.

As she frets, Huo Yao suddenly leans over and pins her in place, his warm breath brushing her ear. "Fufu, your good husband can't wait for you to be trapped in this game forever."

When Meng Yuanchuan learns that his first love is unhappy in her marriage, he can't hold himself back from pursuing her, and their old flame quickly reignites.

His first love's husband has a private ailment, and their marriage is deeply unhappy. She wants to leave him and be with Meng Yuanchuan, but she's afraid of his power and influence.

Meng Yuanchuan also wants to run away with his first love, but he can't bear to give up half of his assets. So he turns his attention to the trendy couples' games, and a plan to kill two birds with one stone takes shape in his mind.

Since his first love's husband has a private ailment and can't complete the game's intimacy tasks, all Meng Yuanchuan has to do is enter the game with the other three and tamper with it a little. Then he can trap his wife and his first love's husband in the game forever...

But later, watching through the backstage surveillance, Meng Yuanchuan sees his wife gradually shedding her gentle, conservative nature under that man's coaxing, losing herself in their intimacy, and striking alluring poses he has never seen before as she does things with that man that only a married couple should do... A sharp, long-forgotten pain stabs his heart.
