Ning Yao is one of the NPCs players can choose to pursue in a single-player historical romance game for men.
Because of the game's setup, this NPC is extremely popular with players. But the game developers threw in a nasty twist: players pursuing her have only a 1% chance of reaching a Happy Ending.
This hellish setup makes players curse and grumble, but they only grow more determined with every failure. Perhaps after hearing so many people, Ning Yao became conscious one day.
Amid countless voices professing their love for her, she chose a young man who carried a sword and whose eyes had always held only her. With hopes for the future, she married him.
But their happiness was short-lived. Just as Ning Yao was about to give birth, her beloved husband disappeared.
After waiting in vain for three years, Ning Yao finally decided to stop letting the past hold her back. Then another upheaval turned her life upside down.
For some unknown reason, the world she lived in suddenly collapsed. To survive, she could only flee with her unconscious son, eventually falling into another, even stranger world.
Separated from her son, Ning Yao resolved to find him. But in this world, she also came across her missing husband. He had long since forgotten their past, and now had another woman by his side.
"A-Cheng, A-Cheng, I think I saw your old wife in the newbie village. What an amazing crossover!"
"What wife?"
"Oh, you know, the NPC in that romance game for men, Young Wanderer, that you played before. The one you were determined to get the Happy Ending with. Didn't I tell you about her last time?"
"..."
"I'm not making it up. Her appearance and name are exactly the same. Want me to take a picture for you, to soothe your heart?"
"No need."
"Seriously, aren't you curious? Don't you want to take a look?"
"Not interested."
"Not interested? Fine. Here's something you might care about. An NPC showed up in Qingyuan Village. He's really impressive, and the most important thing is that one half of his face looks just like yours."
"Boring."
"How is that boring? I'm telling you, he seems to be interested in your NPC wife. Haha, don't you feel like you've got a whole meadow of green grass over your head?"
[System: You are not friends with this player, so private messages are unavailable.]
"Damn it, Qiancheng, you heartless jerk! You actually deleted me. Are we even friends anymore? Wait, could this guy have another girl on the side?" Wei Ze stared at the unsent message, cursing under his breath. He was going to make a scene!
"Qiancheng?" Ning Yao looked around. She thought she heard someone call her husband's name. Who was it? Was this Qiancheng her Qiancheng?
"Yaoyao, don't just stand there. We're heading down the mountain!"
"Huh? All right, I'm coming."
