Bai Lianhua got tossed into a strategy game by the God of Games after relentlessly roasting it. He ended up in the body of a villainous side character whom every romance target hated, and who was ultimately torn apart by five horses.
To stay alive, Bai Lianhua set out to raise each romance target’s affection for him.
He taste-tested poison for the emperor, who was traveling incognito: +10 affection.
He took a blade for the righteous hero who had stepped in to help: +10 affection.
He helped the Demon Lord, who was being hunted throughout the city, evade capture: +5 affection.
As he kept raising their affection, Bai Lianhua realized the romance targets were starting to act strange.
The emperor waved a hand grandly. “Come to me, and I’ll dismiss my entire harem.”
The hero said tenderly, “Come with me. We leave at dawn.”
The Demon Lord blushed. “Join my Demon Palace. You can be its master.”
Bai Lianhua got scared and ran. He didn’t want to be the empress of an unpredictable tyrant, nor the beloved of a noble and elegant hero. And he definitely didn’t want to be the master of a Demon Palace whose sect uniforms used so little fabric that the whole place looked thoroughly disreputable.
All he wanted was to open a few little shops, satisfy his Chinese appetite, and sell delicious food so these poor game NPCs could eat a little better. He just wanted to be a carefree young aristocrat.
Even the immortal in the heavens who’d been watching them for fun all this time couldn’t sit still anymore. How could he let lowlifes covet the one he’d set his sights on?
