Cultivation Fantasy Otome RPG

As a fan of dating sims who loves completing every collection, Xun Xian had just started playing an immersive, full-dive xianxia dating sim.

She had expected to complete the gallery quickly, like in her previous dating sims, but strangely, even when she followed the walkthroughs, the bad endings for every romanceable character remained locked.

Fortunately, the developers promptly added a "live forum" feature to improve the player experience.

[You don't alter the light as you usually do to see his face. You simply lower your eyes in silence, watching his shadow draw closer, one step at a time.]

[At last... you think, full of anticipation, but then notice aggressive spiritual energy gathering in the hand hanging casually at his side.]

[For some reason, it bothers you.]

[What will you do?]

Xun Xian had already opened the live forum and adjusted its settings, so she relaxed.

[BBB! Asking him directly is the quickest way!]

[Everyone except the first one kills his wife to prove his Dao, so B will save time!]

[Even though C's death looks prettier, the OP said she wants to get it over with fast... B it is.]

The choice menu vanished.

The young man in a bright red wedding robe, his hair tied up, stood in front of her without a word. The number of users online in the thread began to plummet.

The young man slowly raised his hand. The helpful players, who were still hanging out in her thread and already knew how this would end, began commenting "Congratulations" as if on cue.

Two seconds later, Xun Xian, waiting for the ending screen to appear and no longer paying attention to the young man, glanced at the screen full of "?!?!" and turned to look at him. He had suddenly taken one of her hands.

"Phew..."

The young man let out a long breath. His hand trembled slightly as he held hers, and for once, he stammered.

"Am I... dreaming?"
