The Gloomy Paper-Doll Character Comes to Court Me

The dating game "Exclusive ABO" swept across the stars, and Qin Fei downloaded it to keep up with the trend. First step: Customize your face. Qin Fei spent the whole night creating a man so handsome he could shake the heavens. Second step: Choose your attributes. Obviously, an SSS-rank Alpha. A pheromone like the blazing sun, hot enough to make an Omega's legs go weak. Third step: Raise your paper-doll character. Qin Fei spent money like crazy, determined to make his Alpha the best in the entire empire. Every day, he showered his Alpha with affection: Babe, you're so handsome. Babe, I love you. I want to be with you forever. Before long, Qin Fei got tired of it. He tossed the game aside and forgot all about his Alpha. Until... A major bug in "Exclusive ABO" caused the game and reality to merge. Qin Fei watched as one friend after another was visited by their own exclusive partner, and suddenly remembered his Alpha. He hadn't looked after his Alpha in so long. He must have... starved to death, right? Qin Fei hurried home to log in and check, only to find a tall man waiting outside his door. Before he could even get close, the man's powerful pheromones made his legs go weak. The man scooped him up and kept rubbing his lips, his eyes dark and unreadable. "Qin! Fei!" Qin Fei: "..." Qin Fei: "I remember setting your personality to sunny and gentle." Man: "I was, but I grew crooked." Man: "Xiao Fei, whose fault do you think that is?" Xi Li was the Alpha Qin Fei had created. As soon as he appeared, he ranked number one among the game's most handsome characters. Xi Li loved his owner. Especially when his owner said they would be together forever. He would answer in his heart: Yes, together forever. But before long, he never saw his owner again. The other characters said he'd been abandoned. Xi Li didn't believe them. He waited a day, two days, ten days, a month, a long, long time in the home his owner had built for him... One day, Xi Li stopped smiling and opened the front door. If his owner wouldn't come to him, he would go find him. Once he did, he would lock him up. Found! You! A cool and aloof guy on the surface, but into cigarettes and booze in private (not really), the playful bottom who loves a little mischief, paired with an Alpha whose emotions are extremely unstable at first, pretends to be sunny and gentle in the middle, and becomes outright gloomy later. Qin Fei is the bottom x Xi Li is the top. [Content Warnings] 1. The top was a real person before becoming a paper-doll character. 2. At the start, the top's emotions are extremely unstable. He's either falling apart or on the verge of it. Premise: Ordinary people can all be heroes in our own lives. Face adversity head-on, and we'll ride the winds and waves.
