ALT has released a full-dive otome romance game where players can immerse themselves in pursuing four male characters.
As a romance game enthusiast, Tang Nian had been eagerly awaiting its release. On launch day, he opened the game with a heart full of excitement, only to see the eye-watering price and shed the tears of a broke college student.
But as a naturally gay man, Tang Nian couldn't resist the four men in the game. He opened a secondhand marketplace app and kept watch day and night until he found a used copy.
Tang Nian happily registered an account, using an avatar he'd customized to look exactly like himself in real life, and launched a "full-on assault" on the four men.
Tang Nian: I want all four of them!
But as he played further, Tang Nian realized something was off. Why did it feel like he wasn't pursuing them, but... they were pursuing him?
The harder Tang Nian tried to win them over, the more proactive the four men became. In the end, they even took turns confessing to him, pressing him at every turn.
Finally realizing he was in danger, Tang Nian tried to run, but found himself surrounded by the big shots. Can I still get away?
The big shots smirked. "It's too late, darling."
Years later, Tang Nian would still cry over how stupid he'd been back then. How had it never occurred to him that an otome romance game couldn't possibly let you customize the male leads?

Sweet, hopeless-romantic seme × powerful uke
Tang Nian × ?

One-on-one ending.
Might be a multiple-love-interest story. The big shots' names are yet to be decided.
The seme thinks he's a romance expert, but he's actually hopeless at love. The big shots interpret all his attempts at winning them over as flirting. The seme isn't the one doing all the chasing.

Theme: Love doesn't happen if you keep it bottled up. If you like someone, go after them.
