"Survive!" is a large-scale infinite horror game. Survival is the only way to clear a level, and clearing it is the only way to stay alive.
Xiao Pin was born with a red star on his neck. They say it's a mark of punishment: it not only prevents him from obtaining any luck-based items, but also doubles his odds of encountering a deadly monster.
Everyone was curious: What did you do?
Xiao Pin replied: I got banned from the last livestream for skirting the rules to farm points.
Everyone: Nice.

Lu Wuyang is a famous speedrunner in "Survive!" He aims to defeat the final boss in the shortest time possible. While others cautiously search for clues, he rushes in and out three times like a robber. Once, he took down the boss just three minutes into a run, letting everyone clear the level without breaking a sweat.
One day, he slipped up and lost his ID card. Without it, he couldn't pick up items, complete quests, or even leave the instance. His only solution was to team up with someone.
Looking around, he picked Xiao Pin.
Xiao Pin: a beautiful idiot born with a DEBUFF, who wouldn't last five minutes without someone protecting him.
Lu Wuyang: Want to team up? We'll split the rewards. I'll carry you.
Xiao Pin, clutching his chest like Xi Shi: Are you sure you can handle carrying me, big brother?
Lu Wuyang thought it was a stupid question.
Until
Instance One
Lu Wuyang: This boss has a sharp sense of smell, but I picked a route where we won't take any damage. Just close your eyes and follow me.
Xiao Pin: Big brother, my hands are cold. Can I stick them in your pockets?
The next moment, Xiao Pin poked a hole in Lu Wuyang's pocket, scattering zesty lemon-mint candies all over the floor...
Instance Two
Lu Wuyang gestured: Don't make a sound! It has to be completely quiet here, or the monster will come after us!
Xiao Pin gestured: Today is your birthday~
Then he pulled out a recorder and played "Happy Birthday" right there...
Instance Three
Instance Four
Lu Wuyang couldn't understand why he ended up being chased all over the place by the boss in every instance, losing the dignity of a speedrunner who could clear a hundred runs. Glaring at Xiao Pin's pretty face, he gritted his teeth: So cute. I want to sit on him and crush him to death.
But the livestream chat looked like this
Viewer A: Ah! He still won't leave him behind, even after all that! He loves him so much!
Viewer B: They're cuddling and kissing in a closet while monsters prowl outside, hunting them down. So thrilling!
Viewer C: Those two gorgeous streamers belong together! I want to watch you two get together in the middle of a life-or-death crisis!
Later, the livestream's total points surged past the limit, causing the main System to crash.

Lu Wuyang happened to discover that the legendary mark of punishment wasn't a red star after all.
He asked curiously: Honey, what exactly is that on your neck?
Xiao Pin smiled brightly: Oh, it's a wanted poster left over from crashing the previous game.
Who became famous for acting out a romance and pairing up on an infinite horror game livestream? Oh, that was me.
