My Paper-Doll Lover Makes Me Spend Ghost Coins

*Gentle, unhinged, stunning seme x gloomy, universally disliked pretty uke

*The Great Emperor of Fengdu x a Heavenly Master from the human world. They each think the other is a fictional character.

Shen Sixing was born with Yin-Yang Eyes. Gloomy and depressed, he's a pitiful soul nobody loves.

One day, he accidentally downloaded the management game Underworld ONLINE and drew the SSR Great Emperor of Fengdu, Lu Tingchuan, to run his ghost city.

Lu Tingchuan's stats are maxed out. He's tough and formidable, and the ghost soldiers and generals under his command are thoroughly subdued after a beating. Fengdu is full of talented ghosts and thriving.

Best of all, Lu Tingchuan is a beautiful, long-haired...

Lu Tingchuan smiled like the bright moon: "Thanks for asking. I'm a man."

Shen Sixing lowered his downcast eyes. "Pretty big brother."

From then on, he had a fictional lover all to himself.

Lu Tingchuan was gentle and patient, always responding to everything Shen Sixing said. He tutored him, helped him fight for his inheritance, and showed him how to catch ghosts and deal with haunted houses. He could do it all.

Shen Sixing wondered: Had AI really gotten this smart?

Before he could ask, the game company went bankrupt, and Underworld ONLINE shut down and deleted its servers.

He had lost Lu Tingchuan forever.

-

The Great Emperor of Fengdu, Lu Tingchuan, was a workaholic shut-in. In the thousand years since taking office, he had spent nine hundred of them shut away in Fengdu, rarely smiling.

Until one day, the ghosts caught Lu Tingchuan smiling at a jade tablet.

The ghosts trembled and dropped to their knees.

Lu Tingchuan's crown tassels swayed gently. "This game is rather interesting."

"Your Majesty, what game?"

"Human World ONLINE."

He had drawn a UR Heavenly Master, one who cried when poked, clutched his fingers, and called him Big Brother.

[Extra Scene]

System: Your little Heavenly Master is...

Great Emperor of Fengdu: I'll casually spend ten billion ghost coins.

System: Your little Heavenly Master is tearing through the battlefield. Please stop spending! At this rate, the gates of the underworld will be smashed to bits!

Premise: Kind and lovable people can shine even in the darkest corners.
