After a year and a half of marriage by agreement, Lu Xingzhou and Lin Yu each live their own lives, polite as roommates.
He's legal counsel at a tech company, and Lin Yu is a smart home designer. They spend their days busy with their own work, and sometimes run into each other in the kitchen after work to ask, "Want to eat together?" At night, they're the blade-wielding "Wild Ferry, No One" and the swordsman "Deer in the Woods" in an online game. They work together seamlessly and are famous in their guild for being inseparable.
Lu Xingzhou has no idea that Deer in the Woods is Lin Yu. He only knows that he seems to have fallen for his gaming partner.
Then one day, someone in the game jokes that they should become a couple.
Deer in the Woods says, "No. My partner at home wouldn't like it."
Lu Xingzhou stares at those words for a long time, unable to move. He feels as though he's just been dumped.
A marriage-first, love-later story about two people who each get jealous of themselves, but are both heading toward each other.
