The Infinite-Flow Boss Is My Late Ex-Boyfriend

Shen Yuqi has a gloomy ex-boyfriend with a strong possessive streak.

His name is Chi Heng.

Chi Heng made all sorts of inexplicable rules:

What to eat and what to wear,

which route to take to work at the ice cream shop,

not to say more than three sentences to customers,

and not to take in the homeless little animals outside the door.

His final rule: If something happens, don't hide it from me. I'll always be there.

Chi Heng would spy on him and follow him.

Shen Yuqi finally couldn't take it anymore and asked to break up.

On the day they broke up, Chi Heng said nothing.

The downpour swallowed his retreating figure as he walked away alone.

That night, a landslide hit, and Chi Heng died in a car crash.

Three years passed. Shen Yuqi always felt that Chi Heng was still there, watching him from the shadows.

Until Shen Yuqi was pulled into an infinite horror game.

After overcoming one deadly challenge after another, and narrowly escaping death time and again,

Shen Yuqi discovered that the boss of the infinite game

was none other than his late ex-boyfriend.

--

Chi Heng was ranked number one on the leaderboard of the Nightmare Terror infinite world.

He had mysteriously disappeared three years ago,

and no one knew where he was.

No one knew

that he had found a hidden town on an open-world game map,

with dungeon monsters that had yet to grow up, and Shen Yuqi, their NPC dad who ran an ice cream shop and raised them.

Shen Yuqi didn't seem to know he was living inside a game,

repeating the same monotonous work day after day.

Chi Heng treated the place as a relaxing paradise away from the world,

and his greatest pleasure was teasing the naive Shen Yuqi.

He liked Shen Yuqi.

He loved it when Shen Yuqi held out a yogurt ice cream and said, "Honey, if you don't like this flavor, I'll get you sea-salt next time."

Only later did he learn that the so-called sea salt was made from scales Shen Yuqi had violently torn off a merman.

They confessed their love, moved in together,

and began living as a couple.

Then one day,

the Nightmare Terror System discovered a bug.

[Dear player Chi Heng, as the number-one player on the leaderboard, we thank you for your contributions. You now have two options:]

[A. Watch Shen Yuqi, identified as a bug, be erased before your eyes]

[B. Kill yourself in front of him and permanently close the town gates]

Chi Heng chose B.

But they would meet again soon.

He would find the System's back door and return to Shen Yuqi's side.

However, when they met again,

Chi Heng had lost his memory and become a dungeon boss.

He was the evil mermaid on the isolated island of Atlantis,

the sacrifice called upon to summon a demon at the center of a forest altar,

the indescribable force dwelling in the Crimson Mountains,

the young opera performer who died too soon beneath the red candles of an old mansion,

the goat-headed man in the shadow of an inverted cross,

the ghost in the mirror of an orphanage morgue,

So there was only one ending left:

Shen Yuqi had to become the one who rescued him from the endless dungeon loop.

I'll take you home.
