Bai Mo is a veteran gaming content creator, famous for breezing through all sorts of obscure games only to get the most bizarre endings.
So he took on a fan-recommended hell-difficulty dating sim called Time Rewind, which supposedly no one had ever beaten, hoping to clear his name.
Confident Bai Mo was actually defeated by the game.
He'd been careless. He'd underestimated it.
He began studying it carefully.
The game had five love interests. Choosing a different character to pursue would generate a different route, and each character had only one life to clear the game. In other words, once one died, he had to switch to another love interest. If all five died, he had to start over from the beginning.
After staying up all night and using up all his chances, Bai Mo earned the title of Romance Killer for unlocking the darkest, most gruesome bad ending the game had ever seen.
As his fans laughed at him, Bai Mo shut down the game in bitter resentment. But when he opened his eyes again, he found himself inside the game world.
His vision went black.
Transmigrating into a game he'd just played: misery level, 100%.
This game is completely impossible to beat: misery level, 10,000%.
Having to personally experience the disastrous, gruesome routes he'd just played: misery level, 1,000,000%.
Bai Mo shuddered. As a fake servant of the temple who was really a prince and destined to be executed, the light literally faded from his eyes.
Seeing the fake prince getting along happily with his scumbag father, Bai Mo gave up on exposing his identity and reclaiming his place in the royal family.
What would be the point? He'd get thrown into his scumbag father's battle royale, competing endlessly with the fake prince in an eight-hundred-episode palace drama, only to die without a body as soon as he finally took the throne.
He'd not only have to be a career-obsessed workaholic, but also play the lovestruck fool and pursue the romance routes, only to meet a horrible end anyway.
Bai Mo wanted nothing more than to slack off. He looked at the execution platform, where he was about to be sentenced to death, as if it were the dawn of salvation, weeping with joy. He gazed passionately at the executioner, just about to shout, "Please, set me free!"
But just as he closed his eyes and waited for death, a mysterious person suddenly descended from the sky.
Looking at the chains around his wrists and ankles, then at the soft pillows and gauzy curtains before him, Bai Mo slowly formed a question mark. Is this game even remotely respectable?!
Later, people across the continent discovered that their Sword Saint, emperor, deity, and Demon King all seemed to have someone they loved with all their hearts.
Sword Saint: My beloved sacrificed himself to the sword to save the world and keep me alive.
Emperor: I wronged the person who loved me. I let revenge blind me and only cared about getting even, and in the end I failed him.
Moon Goddess: The person I loved wandered alone across the far shore to help me master the power of the gods, and was ultimately devoured by the wasteland.
Demon King: My beloved sacrificed his divine core to save me, and we became one.
The hidden big shot... laughed in exasperation: Just how many sworn brothers do you have?
The big shots all gathered, originally just to show off their love. But something was wrong, very wrong. The moment their eyes met, they turned hostile, and the air filled with tension.
No one knew their beloved was the same person.
Bai Mo was suffocating in this unbelievably disastrous love triangle.
What was he supposed to do when all the love interests remembered their past lives and believed they were his one true love?
He didn't want to be a workaholic competing with everyone for success, but he wanted to be a heartless playboy even less.
Help, he might as well have stuck to the palace intrigue route.
A top who loves imagining things, falls for his own delusions, and has multiple split selves x a carefree, stunningly beautiful drama queen of a bottom. Both are sexually inexperienced.
Our motto: We want both the career plot and the romance plot.
Theme: Love is all you need.
