Su Songqing was an office policeman who spent his days peacefully writing reports and playing video games. One careless accident later, he died and entered the Never-Setting Sun World.

The good news was that, unlike other players who arrived with only their clothes, he had an extremely powerful piece of equipment: a walking stick.

The bad news was that his leg was still broken in the Never-Setting Sun World, and he hadn’t even brought a pair of crutches.

Guide: Don’t worry. The Never-Setting Sun World is a virtuous, orderly place. All you need to do is clear several games to return to the human world.

Su Songqing, with only one walking stick, thought long and hard about whether he had any chance of survival. “Thanks, but no thanks. Let me die already.”

Guide: You might awaken a skill, too.

Su Songqing, with only one walking stick, looked at his utterly useless trash skill. “Thanks, but no thanks. Let me die already.”

Guide: To encourage cooperation, each of you will have a partner.

Passing Player A: He looks so frail and weak, like a scholar. No way!

Passing Player B: He’s so handsome, but he has a bad leg...

Su Songqing, with only one walking stick, looked at the people passing by. “Thanks, but no thanks. Let me die already.”

Guide: We do not encourage people to give up on life. Please think carefully.

“Thanks, but no th...” Su Songqing saw another player, who was just as unwanted as he was, reach out a hand to him as he sat on the ground and introduce himself. Su Songqing immediately changed his tune. “I can survive!”

Su Songqing only sounded gloomy. He had no idea that Yun Yingxian, who had truly given up on life, chose to survive and reach out to him because he wanted to protect him.

Later, as the sun set, Utopia collapsed, and the world plunged into permanent chaos, Yun Yingxian held Su Songqing and whispered in his ear, “You have been my sun from the very beginning.”

Yun Yingxian x Su Songqing

A wealthy thrill-seeker with high emotional intelligence who takes death in stride x a positive-minded little office policeman who loves single-player games and is intermittently socially anxious

P.S.

1. Most of the games look like action-platformers on the surface, but their inner workings can involve all sorts of things: deduction, combat, or economic warfare.

2. This is my take on subtle Lovecraftian horror. Some games and the main world involve mild horror and supernatural events, as well as depictions of psychological corruption.

3. The protagonists grow over time, and both of them are each other’s first love. It will take a while for their relationship to develop.

Thank you all for joining my Qingxian couple on part of their journey!
