#What’s it like for a lovestruck recipient to get dropped into a romance-game battlefield, where five powerful tops who are secretly in love with you all come after you at once?#

Su Tan is shy and introverted in real life, but online he hits hard. He treats comment sections like no-man’s-land and is a champion at running his mouth on the internet.

After an accident, he falls into a romance game called Sniper of Secret Love and becomes the object of affection for its five powerful tops.

His company’s CEO falls for him at first sight. Though usually cold and gloomy, he becomes remarkably easygoing whenever Su Tan is around.

A senior actor is also very nice to him, always greeting him with a smile. The only strange thing is that anyone who has ever bullied Su Tan goes out of their way to avoid this senior whenever they see him.

His neighbor is a food blogger who sends him all his delicious cooking, claiming it’ll go bad if he can’t finish it, and is always dragging him out to have fun.

At an art exhibition, he also met a gentle painter who loves painting him as his subject and even calls him his... muse? That’s a bit much.

And finally, there’s his childhood friend, a sharp-tongued oddball with a gorgeous face! He’s always making snide remarks and pulling strange, overly coy expressions.

With the fictional world spilling into reality, Su Tan drools and thinks, More, more!

His happy life continues until... his agent arranges for him to join a dating reality show.

The five powerful men secretly in love with him all meet on the same show...!

This battlefield is a little too terrifying. Guilt-ridden, Su Tan feels for his phone and wonders if it’s too late to drop out.

He swears he’s never been two-timing anyone!

Those of us with social anxiety only talk a big game. He hasn’t even gotten so much as a little advantage out of it!

But even so, this battlefield is terrifying...

“A-Tan, I had no idea you knew so many handsome, rich guys,” his green-tea childhood friend says sarcastically, glancing at him sideways. Even his gritted teeth are ridiculously alluring.

“Su Tan, you remember company policy says you have to report a relationship before you start dating, right?” his CEO asks, unusually stern.

“He calls you A-Tan? Then I want to call you A-Tan too. You don’t mind, do you?” The senior actor is still smiling in a way that seems downright sinister, making Su Tan tremble.

“A-Tan, I made something delicious. Want to come over?” His neighbor holds out some fried chicken.

“It’s okay, A-Tan. You can like whoever you want. I don’t mind at all.” The gentle painter strokes Su Tan’s head, using feigned selflessness to get what he wants.

Su Tan looks at the men competing with one another in front of him, then promptly makes a run for it.

Keep your hands off me! I just want to be fabulous on my own!

Green Tea Puppy’s Rules for Climbing the Ladder

Blurb:

On the day of S University’s centennial celebration, Su Yuchen catches his actor boyfriend flirting with someone else. Furious, he goes to a bar to drink himself into oblivion.

The next day, he wakes up in a budget hotel room, covered in bruises, with a young-looking guy sleeping beside him.

Su Yuchen glances at the student ID carelessly tossed on the bedside table and understands.

So he’s a college student, a junior from his school.

But the next second, the younger student opens his eyes and throws himself onto Su Yuchen, looking utterly aggrieved.

“Big Brother was so rough last night.”

“I don’t care. You have to take responsibility for me.”

“Forget that scumbag. Look at me instead.”

Dazzled by the younger student, Su Yuchen goes to the marriage registry that very day and gets their marriage certificate.

After they marry, the younger student moves into Su Yuchen’s home under the pretext of fulfilling their marital duties, sticking to him all day long.

Su Yuchen isn’t used to being so close to someone, so he tries to put some distance between them.

“Why are you standing so far away, Big Brother? I just want us to be a little closer.”

“Big Brother, do you hate me now? Please don’t kick me out.”

The younger student keeps up his green-tea act while getting handsy with Su Yuchen. “I’m sorry, Big Brother. Your ex-boyfriend came to bully me again, and I couldn’t help hitting him back. You’re not mad, are you?”

Later, the ex-boyfriend shows up and exposes the younger student’s wealthy family background in front of Su Yuchen, hinting that he has ulterior motives.

The younger student lowers his eyes and snuggles up to Su Yuchen, looking even more pitiful.

“I’m sorry, Big Brother. I didn’t mean to hide it from you.”

“My eldest brother and father wouldn’t let me tell you I was a member of the He family.”

“Father only likes my eldest brother and never cares about me. Please don’t leave me, Big Brother. You’re all I have.”

Su Yuchen pats the younger student on the shoulder, then glares at his scumbag ex and tells him to get lost.

That night, the younger student hides in the bathroom and calls a number he hasn’t dialed in ages, ordering his subordinates to blacklist the scumbag actor.

“Take care of it quickly. Don’t let him show up in front of A-Chen again.”

The pitiful little green tea from earlier flashes a vicious look, his eyes cold. He looks every bit like a wolf ready to kill.
