Shen Mingfan was handsome, but he had impossibly high standards.
Everyone said his tastes were peculiar. He loved anime, liked people with nice voices, and had a weakness for top-tier, cosplay-ready faces. But people like that were few and far between in real life, so he had been single for over twenty years.
By chance, he met a great friend in a popular online game. Whenever they voice-chatted, he found himself captivated by the other guy's deep voice. They grew closer and started teaming up more and more often.
After they added each other on WeChat, Shen Mingfan secretly checked out the other guy's Moments and came across a photo. The man in it was aloof and refined, with cool eyes and a deep gaze. He looked just like a character from the game, making him the perfect cosplay model. In short, he was ridiculously handsome!
But before this crush could even get started, the other guy said he was too busy with real-life matters to keep in touch. Shen Mingfan's crush was over before it began. Just as he was feeling down, an elder in his family suddenly introduced him to a marriage prospect.
He was told the man was a dashing young heir from a wealthy family who now ran a company of his own, a bona fide rich guy. After feeling sorry for himself, Shen Mingfan could only accept reality and go along with the blind date. But when they met, he realized... this was the incredibly handsome guy he'd just added!
The same guy he'd played games with, the one with the gorgeous voice?!
His face flushed, and his eyes darted around the room while he struggled to act natural. He had no idea that his awkward reaction had already made a lasting impression on the other man. When he got home, his grandfather told him, "That CEO wants to get to know you better. You two should see each other more often."
Shen Mingfan: ???
His crush had only just begun, and now he was being told he could take things to the next level with him! Shen Mingfan kept going on dates with the CEO. Just as he thought their feelings were growing deeper, their families suddenly began discussing a wedding.
It felt a little rushed, but after giving it plenty of thought, Shen Mingfan agreed. On their wedding night, though, the other man said they weren't close enough yet and slept in a separate room. Shen Mingfan assumed he didn't like him and was only going along with the elders' wishes. Disappointed, he kept his feelings to himself and continued seeing the CEO. Then one day, the CEO saw his collection, which included a photo he had once posted.
Ling Zhiheng suddenly understood. "So you've liked me for a long time. Why didn't you say so? I always thought you were interested in other new things, so I didn't dare cross the line."
At last, he couldn't hold back his feelings anymore. "Xiaofan, you had no idea I've wanted you for ages too, did you?"
Only then did they realize that Shen Mingfan had admired him online long before they met, while Ling Zhiheng had known the moment they met what it meant to fall in love at first sight. Neither knew the other had a secret crush, so both had been pretending to be reserved and composed!

"Falling in Love with an Actor Online"
Ye Wanxu, a famous cosplayer with two million followers, has recently started an online relationship.
The other guy has a lovely voice and is incredible at games. The best part is that he sounds so much like Ye Wanxu's idol, Lu Wensheng. He's practically the perfect stand-in! Ye Wanxu falls for him completely.
After they start dating online, Ye Wanxu asks his boyfriend's name. The other guy answers, "Lu Wensheng."
Ye Wanxu thinks they must share a name, or maybe he's just a fan. What actor plays video games? What actor dates people online?
So there's no way it's actually him!
Every day, he plays games over voice chat with his sweet online boyfriend. At night, they call each other "Baby" and "Big Brother." They let loose online, getting up to all kinds of embarrassing games.
Finally, one day, his online boyfriend can't take it anymore and asks to meet in person.
That suits Ye Wanxu just fine. He really wants to know what the guy who shares his actor idol's name looks like. Ye Wanxu is handsome to begin with, and ever since becoming a cosplayer, he's constantly been invited to dress up as all kinds of characters thanks to his one-of-a-kind good looks.
But when they finally meet, his online boyfriend arrives fully disguised and leads him into a private room. The man takes off his hat and sunglasses, revealing the face of the real Lu Wensheng!
Ye Wanxu is stunned. "You really are Lu Wensheng...?"
Lu Wensheng looks at him with a wounded expression. "Baby, when have I ever lied to you? I really wasn't lying."
Ye Wanxu cries, overwhelmed with excitement and happiness. "But I really only thought of you as my idol. I never thought about trying to seduce you, sob..."
Seeing him like this, Lu Wensheng doesn't know what to do. He pulls Ye Wanxu into his arms and comforts him. "I'm sorry. I should have explained sooner. I'm the one who wants to date you now. How about we turn our online relationship into a real one?"
Theme: Even in darkness, never lose hope. Beyond the barriers lies a bright future.

It's really like this in the game, the person with authority was scolded until he died on the spot.
Push to get the preview of the next book: "Men's Top Shura Field" Xie Shuangze and Cheng Tianyuan were both trainees of a large company. They dated for a year. Unexpectedly, their boyfriend finally broke up with him after being notified of his debut. Frustrated, he turned his disappointment into motivation and spent all his time in the practice room. He originally wanted to work harder to debut, but two months later he was suddenly informed by the company that the two were members of the same group and were making an emergency debut. There are five members in the group, the other two are trainees from the same company, and only one is the airborne lead singer. This person is even his short-term classmate Yan Xiangwan in high school. He originally wanted to quietly follow the company's arrangements and pretend that nothing happened, but one day after a celebration party, a drunken Yan Xiangwan confessed to him, and everything went into chaos. Under the seemingly cold appearance of a male god, Yan Xiangwan's sincerity moved him, and the two began to fall in love secretly. One day after the concert, he and his partner were kissing each other in the lounge, but their relationship was broken up by Cheng Tianyuan who suddenly opened the door. In the embarrassing scene between the ex and the current one, the other party's eyes were red: "What are you doing?" Xie Shuang didn't want to speak, but Yan Xiangwan on the side hugged him provocatively and looked at him coldly: "You seem to have no right to ask such a question when you abandoned your boyfriend when he learned that he was going to debut." The boy band is like superficial brothers. Team leader Cheng Tianyuan is unhappy every day, and the band manager repeatedly pokes fun at them and ridicules them. In this embarrassing atmosphere, the fandom finally couldn't sit still, and they secretly speculated that there was a disagreement within the SIR boy group. It wasn't until one day that Xie Shuangze fainted and was hospitalized after a concert, and the news of a fight between team leader Cheng Tianyuan and Yan Xiangwan became a hot search topic, did the fan circle discover... It was all caused by the little devil Xie Shuangze! The other two teammates: What? Our teammates are having sex secretly, but we don't know!
