Lin Ling treated every character in the game as his own, maxing out their stats and achievements.
A true believer in the distillery, Moriarty-style, who revered the aesthetics of murder and disliked certain people with crude methods. He was close friends with the organization's genius female scientist.
A genius police officer who loved solving cases with efficient scams and violence. He had as many honors as disciplinary actions. He graduated from the police academy alongside two childhood friends, only for both of them to go undercover behind his back.
A star lawyer who cared about money and nothing else. For the right price, he could make black sound white. His professional ethics were thinner than a slice of bacon. Every day, he was either becoming a victim or on his way to becoming one.
A romance detective attending Teitan High, with one lover per case. She loved handsome men and was in cahoots with the heiress of the Suzuki financial conglomerate.
It wasn't until Lin Ling died and transmigrated into the game that he learned they all saw him as their father.
Being able to come back to life without pain and see the characters he'd poured his heart into: it was twice the joy. Lin Ling was over the moon.
Lin Ling moved naturally among his four beloved kids, becoming the pretty boy of the distillery's genuine believer and winning her heart and affection alone.
He also became the childhood friend whom the violent police officer treated with unique tenderness.
Then he transformed into the black-hearted lawyer's only conscience, the unattainable white moonlight he longed for.
And he discovered that every lover the romance detective abandoned after a case bore some trace of him.
Lin Ling: ...It's not a big deal. They don't know about one another. As long as I don't say anything, nobody will find out.
Unfortunately, their social circles overlapped. Right in front of all his kids, Lin Ling's secret identities were exposed.
Watching the kids rush over to demand who his illegitimate children were, Lin Ling put on a look of pure agony.
