Gentle healing | Secret crush | Old-school campus keyboard MMO

A growing little white rabbit * A doting boyfriend 2.0 who has been plotting for a long time

Running toward love * Gentle healing

On the day Lin Zhi arrived at university, she fell in love with Lu Chen at first sight. But because she was timid, insecure, and meek, she did not dare confess. Instead, she hid her identity and got close to him in the game.

On the very day they became an in-game couple, Lin Zhi did not find Lu Chen online. Instead, she heard that he and the goddess he knew in real life had started dating.

She knew that her secret crush had finally come to an end. Heartbroken, she prepared to quit the game, but accidentally accepted a disciple.

Her disciple was quiet and aloof, yet obedient and considerate. He ran dungeons with her and listened to her ramble, gradually dispelling her loneliness and disappointment and helping her move on from a love that had ended before it even began.

What she did not know was that this disciple had always been by her side in real life, finding her part-time jobs and helping her review for exams. She also had no idea that he had witnessed every moment she spent trying for Lu Chen.

Then came the day they finally met in person. Sunlight fell across a handsome, familiar face in the cafe.

The computer science department's campus heartthrob, the cool, brilliant student Xie Yunshen, smiled at her.

"Let's get to know each other again," he said. "I'm Qingshan Jianwo."

I thought running toward him was the grandest secret crush of my youth.

But I never knew that when I turned around, the stars were coming for me, too.

Xie Yunshen, the reserved and self-possessed campus heartthrob of the computer science department, never thought he would fall head over heels at first sight.

That afternoon when he saw Lin Zhi, he knew he was done for. The girl he liked had eyes only for someone else.

He watched her learn strategies for another man and suffer over a virtual romance. He guarded her in silence, paving the way for her in real life and clearing every obstacle from her path in the most thoughtful way.

Like the most patient hunter, he laid a gentle trap, carefully calculating every step, all so he would not bruise her pride or burden her in the slightest.

He waited for her to fall from a hopeless pursuit, then caught her securely and showed her what kind of person was truly worth running toward, the ideal life she deserved.

[Little Scene]

The whole server was shipping the sweet moments between the top players and couple [Qingshan Jianwo] x [Yuehua Muchen].

No one knew that he had once been her disciple, or that she had once ventured into this world of martial arts for someone else.

Xie Yunshen wrapped his arms around Lin Zhi from behind as she played, and asked softly, "I heard you used to play this game for someone else?"

Lin Zhi landed a precise heal on his character, then looked back with a smile.

"That's right. Otherwise, how would I have had the chance to find you?"

Reader's Guide:

* The story follows both real life and the online game, with a plot ratio of 4:1 (maybe 5:1). The two worlds influence and drive each other, so this is not simply an online game novel.

* Heavily inspired by Jian Wang 3. The author is a gaming newbie, so please don't scrutinize the game details.

* The heroine is not perfect. She is introverted, insecure, and timid at first, but gradually grows more confident, independent, and courageous.

* The hero is a healing, ideal man, an upgraded doting boyfriend and master strategist who plans every step carefully, eventually making his way into the heroine's heart.

Global Ancestral Awakening: I Bound Two Systems

Blurb:

A global cataclysm strikes, and animals and plants revert to their ancestral forms overnight. Ferocious beasts run rampant.

When Lin Wan wakes up, she discovers she has become a high-risk species: a clouded leopard.

A killing System has appeared in her mind, too: [If you go three days without killing, you will lose your mind.]

The first name highlighted on her hunting list belongs to her neighbor, a Samoyed who has just mutated and is trembling in fear.

Just as her hand holding the knife begins to shake, the little one she adopted rubs their eyes and walks out of the bedroom, a pair of jade-like antlers sprouting from their head.

In an instant, two voices fill her mind.

[Killing System] coldly analyzes:

"Alert: Detected 'Divine Beast, Bai Ze (juvenile).' Ultimate potential: infinity."

"Strategic recommendation: Eliminate or guide and control. Note: The target is emotionally vulnerable, making this the optimal time to act."

[Protection System] activates at the same time:

"Protection System bound. Highest-priority task: Protect the Bai Ze cub."

"Primary task: Soothe the cub. Failure will cause it to lose its nature and enter a berserk state."

From then on, she becomes the most divided mother in the apocalypse.

One moment, she is protecting her child, tearing apart an incoming ancestral giant wolf with her claws, while the cold red System announces in her mind: [Kill points +100. 'Stealth' skill unlocked.]

The next, she has to pick up her frightened, crying child and hum softly, as the blue System's gentle female voice announces: [Redemption energy +10. 'Auspicious Protection' aura acquired. Keep soothing the cub.]

She is forced to walk a tightrope between two paths:

The red System drives her to grow stronger, with her prey expanding from monsters to fellow humans with ulterior motives.

The blue System lures her to protect, with missions ranging from restoring ancient books to teaching survivors to farm.

Only when she finds her father, transformed into a towering Jianmu tree, does she understand that the two Systems conceal a gamble over the survival of civilization.

Killing represents destruction and a return to the law of the jungle.

Protection represents the humble continuation of civilization's spark.

Forces from all sides surge toward her:

"Hand over the Bai Ze cub. He is the key to opening a new world!"

"Destroy Jianmu, and everything will end!"

"Join us and become a god in the new world!"

Lin Wan licks the sharp teeth of her clouded leopard form, shields her son behind her, and looks at the gray wolf companion silently guarding her side.

Her choice is simple:

"Anyone who dares touch my family will learn this: A mother driven mad is a natural disaster in her own right."

Theme: True love is not chasing a distant illusion. It is turning around and finding the person walking beside you, the one who helps you become a better version of yourself.
