"Hot-tempered, free-spirited bottom vs. unflappable, sly top"

During the summer before his senior year of high school, Shi Shuning got into a 3D xianxia MMO after a friend recommended it. In just a few months, he went from an innocent newbie exploring the vast world to a seasoned player who could handle just about anything.

Then, in the second half of his freshman year of college, he successfully quit the game because his studies got too demanding.

And so he stayed away for four whole years.

After graduation, with the job market looking bleak, Shi Shuning decided he was done trying. He went straight to work at his family’s company, where he could lie flat and be a carefree good-for-nothing.

One day, while slacking off at his desk and watching anime, Shi Shuning received a link to a post from a gaming friend he hadn’t spoken to in years.

The message said: Bro, I think you got cheated on.

Having been single his whole life, Shi Shuning was baffled. Thinking, “I have to see what kind of bullshit this post is spouting,” he clicked on the thread titled “818: Love and Moonlight, and One Player Juggling Five Partners.”

After reading it, Shi Shuning fell silent.

It seemed he really had been cheated on.

A few years ago, Shi Shuning had been a stats-obsessed player. To get the equipment bonus from the Qixi event, he’d randomly teamed up with some stranger to become game partners and complete quests. He never expected that, years later, this person would have practically built a harem without ever ending their partnership.

Disgusted, Shi Shuning downloaded the game again that very day and logged in to end the relationship.

The familiar sound of a new mail notification rang out. After searching around the unfamiliar game interface, Shi Shuning finally found his mailbox.

Half the screen was filled with orange-yellow private messages he hadn’t read.

The latest had arrived one minute ago.

Sender: [Xing Shi Yun San]

Message: Green-haired tortoise.

Shi Shuning frowned at the ID, which looked strangely familiar.

He opened his enemy list, then his mailbox, and compared them over and over. Then he replied: What the hell is wrong with you?! You’re the green-haired tortoise! Your whole family’s green-haired tortoises!

Getting cheated on wasn’t scary. Being mocked wasn’t scary. But being laughed at for wearing a cuckold’s hat by his old nemesis was enough to make Shi Shuning blow his top.

Damn it, just you wait. I’m back in the game, and I’m going to wipe the floor with you!

On his first day back, Shi Shuning spent six figures on the game and replaced his relics from a bygone era with a brand-new set.

His friends tried to warn him: Things have changed. You haven’t played in years. No matter how good your gear is, you still can’t beat him. Why not practice some more first?

Shi Shuning refused to listen. Shi Shuning took him on. Shi Shuning was crushed. Shi Shuning flew into a rage. Shi Shuning lost it. Shi Shuning came back for more.

After challenging his nemesis over ten times and getting utterly destroyed every single time, Shi Shuning finally gave up.

Shi Shuning made an alt and found himself a master. Shi Shuning practiced his technique. Shi Shuning mastered it. Shi Shuning challenged him again.

After trading a few moves with Xing Shi Yun San, Shi Shuning was confused. Shi Shuning grew suspicious. Shi Shuning realized the truth. Shi Shuning was furious.

Shi Shuning swore at him: You made an alt to mess with me?! I’m going to kill you!!!

Later, Shi Shuning, who had sworn he would kill the man, lay face-down on the bed, clutching his backside, nearly getting killed by him instead.

The handsome, aloof, devious man pinched his cheek and asked with a wicked grin, “Want to get up and try killing me in the game? I’ll go easy on you this time.”

Bo Yunxing fell for someone in the game.

That person was mischievous, hot-tempered, and considered him their sworn enemy.

Whenever the two met, they couldn’t exchange more than three words before launching into a fight to the death.

His friends laughed and said he must have become a masochist to fall for someone like that.

Bo Yunxing only scoffed, thinking, What would you know?

When a cat cuddles up to you, do you really care that its claws are too sharp?

Later, Bo Yunxing was no longer satisfied with keeping things adversarial with the person he liked. He decided it was time to take things a step further.

On Qixi night, after giving it a great deal of thought, Bo Yunxing sent the person he liked a long confession by mail, along with a set of the best god-tier equipment in the current version as a gift.

He thought, They’ll definitely like it.

Bo Yunxing spent the whole night waiting anxiously.

A month.

A year.

Four years and 197 days.

The person he loved never came online again.
