One ordinary day, Jiang Yubai wakes up to find the doors and windows of the villa locked shut. The windows are sealed, cobwebs cover the rooms, and the brand-new furniture is now coated in thick dust. Overnight, the place has become a creepy old mansion.
Then the broken TV suddenly flickers to life. A few English letters made of pixel blocks dance across the screen:
welcome to the game
Jiang Yubai is dragged into that world. Outside the screen, billions of viewers watch the livestream, and every move the characters make in the game drives them wild.
For some inexplicable reason, Jiang Yubai gets caught in a loop and becomes a temporary monster NPC in the game.
Every day, he wakes up with a dagger in his hand and an upper-body-bare man lying beneath him, his face impossible to make out.
The man is covered in scars. His muscles are smoothly defined, and below his V-line is a lean waist, a body brimming with desire.
Jiang Yubai, unwilling executioner: ...
The first time he stabs the man, Jiang Yubai's social anxiety kicks in. Eyes closed, he gropes around the man's body for ages before finding his heart. Then, following the mission instructions, he plunges the knife in.
Blood bursts out. There is no groan. The man dies beneath him.
Livestream viewers: [Holy crap, I'm gonna kill you, evil spirit NPC!!!!!!]
The second time, he kills the man beneath him with a little more practice.
Viewers: [Let me in! I'm gonna stab that bastard to death! We'll die together, damn it!!]
The third time, he stabs him without feeling around first.
Viewers: ...Heartbroken. Numb.
On the ninety-ninth time, Jiang Yubai kills the man as usual, thinking he can finally clock out. Then he realizes he can see the man's face.
A stunning, wickedly beautiful face, with long, gorgeous eyes. In his final moment, the man looks at him with a calm gaze, without a trace of hatred.
Blood trickles from the corner of his mouth. His face grows pale, and the light slowly fades from his eyes.
In that instant, Jiang Yubai is suddenly overcome with panic and guilt. He reaches out to grab him and says, "Don't die."
I love you.
