Jin Qique, a socially anxious top student, transmigrates one day into a romance game, becoming the delinquent school bully’s sidekick, a villainous character.
The sidekick’s parents died young, and he has no money to his name. When Jin Qique arrives, the landlord has already given him an ultimatum: pay the rent tonight or get out.
The Protagonist CG Collection System that awakens along with him tells him to photograph the protagonists’ character portraits, then sell them to the real world through an attached forum to earn this world’s currency.
Jin Qique, who stammers whenever he talks to anyone: M-me?
Suddenly, the System perks up with excitement: Quick! Catch up to that motorcycle! Take a picture of the owner, and you’ll have your rent for tonight!

Qin Zhaoye never thought he’d fall for a kid who couldn’t even get a sentence out properly.
The kid suddenly stopped his motorcycle, but didn’t say a word even after he pulled over.
Just as he was about to lose patience, the kid seemed to finally work up the courage. His voice trembling, he asked, “Hi... could I take a picture of you... and your motorcycle?”
Qin Zhaoye: ...
He scoffed and was about to refuse, but then he suddenly met a pair of eyes brimming with hurt.
He no longer remembered how he got home that day. He only remembered those black eyes, as easily startled as a little bird, and that slender, soft-white waist.
And the firm conviction that, if the kid was so scared and still came over to hit on him, he must be head over heels for him.

The card seller known for a huge selection and fast uploads on the Qiye Forum, whose handle is Cat, hasn’t been online in a long time.
There are all sorts of rumors about why they quit, but more than anything, people regret losing yet another Jerusalem.
After all, the CGs they sold were really cheap.
Meanwhile, Jin Qique, the center of the whole controversy, is pinned to the bed with a ribbon tied over his eyes.
Qin Zhaoye scrolls through his phone. “Wasn’t it enough to sell me all those secretly taken photos? You even took pictures of other people. How should I punish you, baby?”
Jin Qique, gagged with a ball gag, whimpers, tears welling in his eyes.
#So much for romance, how did this turn into true love?
#That’s not how yaoi works.
#Hi, what kind of CG do you need? We can shoot one right here. A bed photo? Sorry, we can’t do that.
Tips:
1. A carefree young master top x a catlike, socially anxious bottom who secretly takes photos. 1v1, both are virgins. When Qique transmigrates, the original owner doesn’t know the school bully Qin Zhaoye yet.
2. As for the photos, the socially anxious Qique secretly takes them most of the time. Qin Zhaoye notices from the start but lets him do it.
3. The game in this story is an original danmei game made up by the author, so all the players are there to ship the couples. The general gameplay involves exploring the story world and collecting all the protagonists’ CGs to unlock the next chapter. It’s a bit like searching for supplies in SJZ, except the characters move around and respawn randomly, so sometimes players can’t collect all the cards for a long time and can’t unlock the next chapter. The cards can be traded on the forum, which is where Qique’s photos come in handy.
4. Also: Secretly taking photos, with the subject’s consent, is like obtaining CGs in a game. It’s fictional, so please don’t imitate it in real life!
