Lu Baiyu is a 20-year-old sophomore in college. He is also a background character in the melodramatic novel about a fake young master and a real one, The Fake Young Master Is Everyone's Favorite.
But that's not important. What's important is that this world has full-dive games!
Knowing roughly how the plot goes, he thrives in the game. Not only does he find the father who supposedly "went missing while mining" when he was little, he also gets himself a top-tier player as his in-game partner.
It's just that this partner is a little too clingy.
As time goes by, Lu Baiyu is horrified to discover that his in-game partner wants to make a move on him in real life! And he's actually the villainous real young master from The Fake Young Master Is Everyone's Favorite!
Lu Baiyu (awkwardly): "Um, you know I play a female character, but I'm a guy in real life, right..."
Partner (looking pitiful): "I know. I just... missed you..."
Seeing the poor villain ignored by his family on his birthday, then run through a rainstorm in the middle of the night to reach the city where he is, Lu Baiyu's heart softens.
What's there to be afraid of? He transmigrated into a book, so he knows the plot. Surely he can turn a villain's fate around!

Liu Yuheng thinks he must be Heaven's enemy.
Secretly switched at birth as a child, he grew up unloved by his parents and suffered through countless hardships. At last, he found his blood relatives, only to be rejected and feel like a stranger in their home. Even when he plays a game, he's treated like a sucker, used and then discarded.
When he storms off to confront his gaming partner and take revenge, he discovers that someone else has taken over the account!
And now, for one reason after another, they have no choice but to stay bound together.
Liu Yuheng thinks he's terribly unlucky.
Later, he comes to think he's incredibly lucky.
Becoming Lu Baiyu's partner is the best thing in the world!
1. Lu Baiyu x Liu Yuheng, [Bai Lu Yuyu] x [Ye Cangheng]. Includes online gaming. The male lead plays a female character, but it's made clear from the start that he's a man in real life. He isn't deceiving anyone.
2. Roughly, cheerful big-brother type top x gloomy, pitiful bottom. Neither has a perfect personality, especially the bottom, who's quite difficult early on.
3. A terrible blurb. I may revise it later, but the main plot won't change.
