It's bad enough that I can't find a partner in real life. I can't find a compatible hero in the game, either.
Zhou Mo, nicknamed "the Yearly Queen of Singles" by her friends, flew into a rage and sent out a message: "Looking for a game partner! Must be gentle and considerate, able to do the laundry and cook, with broad shoulders, a slim waist, eight-pack abs, and a height of 190 centimeters."
She'd only meant to vent and had no expectations. But the next second, she received a private message from the top-ranked player on the server.
Zhen Fengmian: [Hi. Would I do?]
When Zhou Mo saw the other player's username, her fingers trembled as she typed. She was utterly flustered.
How could someone like him ever be interested in her???

In her experience, big spenders who poured money into games were all aloof and never talked to anyone.
To her surprise, Zhen Fengmian was an exception:
"Xiao Weiwei, have you done the dungeon yet? Want to do it together?"
"There's a new map out. Want to explore it together?"
"Do you like the new outfit? I bought it for you. Check your mail."
"Xiao Weiwei, come take pictures."
Were all big spenders actually chatty and clingy in private?
He was surprisingly down-to-earth for someone so rich...

But!
Something was fishy. It was strange that a laid-back little slacker like her kept getting attention from the top-ranked player.
She kept a clear head and stayed wary of Zhen Fengmian's "special treatment."
Sure enough, she spotted his ulterior motive:
One day, the game held an offline event and invited Zhen Fengmian as a special guest.
He casually forwarded the message to Zhou Mo: [Xiao Weiwei, want to come see me?]
An offline meetup... just the two of them...
Zhou Mo's eyelid twitched. Alarm bells rang in her head. She gave a cold laugh, immediately blocked and deleted him, and uninstalled the game as well.
He was obviously trying to lure her into meeting up so he could do something unspeakable!
Did he really think she was an innocent, naive little white flower who was easy to fool?!

She heard that a gentle, outrageously handsome dentist had joined her uncle's dental clinic.
Apparently, on the doctor's first day, every dentist in the clinic crowded around his office just to catch a glimpse of his face.
Curious, Zhou Mo went to join in, hoping to judge for herself just how handsome he was.
During a lunch break, she sneaked into her uncle's office and saw a man in a white coat sitting at the computer. On the screen was the online game she'd uninstalled ages ago.
Zhou Mo moved closer. When she saw him take down the dungeon's final boss with a perfectly smooth combo, she stared at him in shock.
Could a normal person really pull off moves like that??
She couldn't help blurting out, "That's freaking amazing!"
Hearing her, the man turned around and met Zhou Mo's admiring gaze.
His light amber eyes narrowed above his mask as he stared at her for a long moment. Finally, he asked, "Xiao Weiwei?"
Zhou Mo's heart stopped. She took half a step back. Huh?? That's not me! Who are you, handsome stranger?!
Later, every dentist at the clinic knew her as a heartless "player" who seduced a man, then dumped him without taking responsibility.
