[A ruthless, taciturn hacker shou who often wears a sour expression x a sunny, gentle-seeming team leader gong who’s actually a goofball]
In the year 146 of the Star Calendar, a new server for Inverse Star, the VR game popular across the Nineteen Star Systems, opened with hidden treasure waiting to be found. Players flocked to it, and a conspiracy slowly began to unfold...
On the day the new server opened, someone died in the slum where Jiang Yan lived. Using his hacking skills, Jiang Yan helped the guards uncover the secret of a magnetic disk.
From then on, Cheng Lian, the captain of the guards, had his eye on Jiang Yan. “Interested in joining the guards?”
Jiang Yan: “No.”
Still, as a top player on Inverse Star’s first server, Jiang Yan got caught up in the whirlwind. Through a twist of fate, he ended up living at Cheng Lian’s place, where Cheng Lian’s AI even called him “Mrs. Cheng.”
Jiang Yan: “Mrs. Cheng?”
Cheng Lian: “Don’t get the wrong idea. The AI is programmed to be used only by me and my family. I can’t exactly tell it I’m your dad, can I?”
Jiang Yan: “...”

To his surprise, Cheng Lian grabbed him. “Why are you avoiding me? We’re meeting in person!”
Jiang Yan: “???”
(One-on-one, pure sweetness, with dual storylines in the real world and the game, plus a touch of cyberpunk.)
Bonus scene:
At the gym.
Jiang Yan thought Cheng Lian’s running form looked a little ridiculous and couldn’t help laughing.
Cheng Lian: “What are you laughing at?”
Jiang Yan: “Nothing. You’re in great shape.”
Without a word, Cheng Lian took off his T-shirt.
Jiang Yan: “Are you nuts?”
Cheng Lian: “Didn’t you say I was in great shape?”
Jiang Yan: “If I compliment your figure, you take your clothes off? If I say you have long legs, are you going to take off your pants too?”
Cheng Lian: “Sure. Want to see?”
Jiang Yan: “...”
