Jiang Bai has two secrets.
First, he's already dead, and now he's been reborn as a prospective college student six years younger than he was.
Second, he's Qiuyuebai, the legendary master who loved taking on disciples in an online game. The only time he ever lost control of the situation was when a high school boy disciple became obsessed with him.
His little disciple had a sweet voice, a sweet temperament, and was wonderful in every way. The problem was, he insisted on pursuing Jiang Bai relentlessly. Jiang Bai was used to his freedom and had no desire to lead an innocent high school boy astray, so he rejected him over and over, then put him on the back burner.
Then, in a flash, he was reborn as a college freshman.
His roommates were all weird in their own ways, especially the aloof, eight-pack-ab-having, comic-book-pretty roommate whose voice was cold enough to keep people at arm's length. He was nothing like Jiang Bai's sweet little disciple.
But Jiang Bai discovered that this roommate was also obsessed with the same online game, and his biggest problem was that he couldn't win over the person he was courting.
Still single, Jiang Bai rubbed his chin and decided to help the kid out.
If you're pursuing a girl, give her the grandest possible display!
The next day, while secretly playing his old top-player account, Jiang Bai suddenly received a citywide fireworks display from his little disciple. Huh?
Second tip for pursuing a girl: bare your heart with all the passion you can muster!
The next day, after receiving a thousand-word love letter from his little disciple, Jiang Bai thought, "Wait, what...?"
The coincidences were getting a little too strange. After learning that news of his death in his previous life had made its way into the game, Jiang Bai finally abandoned his top-player account. But one dark and windy night, he spotted his roommate in a secluded corner burning paper offerings. The roommate was muttering Jiang Bai's old in-game name, his voice turning sweet as he called him Master, then dark and self-deprecating. Jiang Bai, feeling a chill run down his back: ?!!

Lan Feng spent a long time in a psychiatric hospital. Just as the boundless gloom and emptiness were about to consume him, a dazzling person who could take on anyone appeared in his world.
He called Lan Feng's unusual thoughts cute, unhesitatingly stood up for him when he was bullied, and patiently tutored him online...
Lan Feng was happy to play the role of a sweet, clingy little disciple for him in that virtual world. But then his master abandoned him.
Lan Feng grew increasingly irritable. When he began to see his master's shadow in his lazy roommate, he knew he was going crazy.
Until he found a familiar thousand-word confession in his roommate's memo app.
His dark red eyes fixed on his "good roommate," who had just walked in, looking perfectly relaxed.
Lan Feng sneered and ran his tongue over one canine tooth.
Content warning: The protagonist is flawed and imperfect, and may not be particularly charming. Before they get together, they're both a mess.
