You feel bored.
You decide to look for some excitement.
You open a popular full-dive game, the much-debated Ancient Romance Game Simulator.
The good news is that players can create all kinds of adult mods and install them, bringing to life the fantasy of spending each night of the week with a different lover.
The bad news is that after entering the game through facial recognition, players cannot change the identity randomly assigned to them from the start. Even in a new playthrough, the same old formula awaits.
If you get to enjoy the good stuff, what more could you ask for?
*
As the one-millionth player to enter the game, you receive the bonus of a "Everyone's Favorite" aura.
You can do whatever you want.
[First Playthrough]
You set your sights on your brother's friend, the aloof top scholar. You want to see him fall from his pedestal and consciously sink into depravity.
But he's a tough nut to crack, and you have a short attention span. After getting him into bed, you choose to fool around with your gloomy, obsessive childhood friend, a violent, robotic young man from Miao territory, and others.
[Second Playthrough]
Because you unlocked the ending "Three Thousand Waters, Yet I Drink from More Than One Stream" in your first playthrough, you gain the option to let characters whose affection you earned retain their memories.
You use it on the aloof top scholar.
You continue looking for new faces.
You watch the aloof beauty you left waiting lose control and beg, then rot away as he waits for your next moment of mercy.
Wait, how did your gentle and refined brother turn dark too? Why is he even trying to control you, or worse, imprison you?
[Third Playthrough]
You choose to let every character whose affection you earned retain their memories.
You decide to unlock a new map.
You pick the sickly, obsessive crown prince.
Then you watch them fall apart and go mad, snapping at each other like hyenas and fighting tooth and nail. You think it's still not chaotic enough, so you also enjoy a father-son double serving.
[Fourth Playthrough]
You choose not to let anyone retain their memories.
...You must have gotten up too fast.
Otherwise, why would you wake up in a locked room?!
*The main text is in third person.
*Not a female-lead power fantasy, but a romance-focused story with simulator fiction elements.
*All the male leads are virgins, including the widower in the father-son double serving.
*The brother and [you] are not related by blood, nor are they listed in the same family genealogy.
