🥺 New novel now open: My Moonlight and Devoted Man Simulator. Please add it to your favorites! 🥺

↓ Novel Blurb ↓

The hottest ancient-style MMORPG on the market, Sword Against the Current, announced an open beta for its full-dive version, sending shock waves across the internet.

Xu Si had just fallen out with his in-game partner and was about to quit for good. Instead, he immediately turned around and jumped back into the game.

He planned to take his top-tier casual healer-dad character sightseeing, snapping photos, farming and enjoying the scenery, idling on the street, and experiencing the very lifelike thrill of gossiping in a teahouse.

And maybe find a partner, too!

Who could have guessed that the moment he logged in, he wouldn't experience a Jianghu that breathed and lived? He looked down and saw a hulking, muscular man with dark skin.

Xu Si: ? Who changed my character's face?

Looking closely, the outfit looked just like the default companion puppet for one of the game's damage-dealing classes.

The one that often scared new players of that class, who would ask why a tall, imposing, dark-skinned man was following them around, radiating strength, dominance, and a reassuring sense of safety: the astonishingly handsome, seven-foot-tall, dark-skinned, gray-haired puppet.

And just like that, Xu Si had gone from a celestial-looking healer dad to this dark-skinned puppet bro.

Restarting his full-dive headset did no good. Every time he went back in and opened his eyes, he was still that puppet.

The most ridiculous part was that Xu Si discovered he was the puppet belonging to the number-one player on the Top Ten Experts list.

Xu Si: ...

#Sorry, but get ready to be amazed by a casual player's skills#

Zong Ye is number one on Sword Against the Current's Top Ten Experts list, Top Ten Pinnacle Players list, and Top Ten Style Icons list.

He is also Pei Zong's top-tier damage-dealing character.

Lately, though, he has found something strange. His class is one of those that has a whole family in tow, with half its damage coming from fighting alongside a summoned puppet, and his puppet seems to have developed a few problems.

In arena matches, it always panics and fumbles around, only managing to slap the opponent after working up its courage.

In dungeons, it always freezes and hesitates, as if terrified of getting killed.

Even when they run into red-name players in the wilderness, it runs faster than he does, despite him being its master.

The only thing it excels at is leisure: it farms diligently, is always eager to gossip, strikes a pose even while idling, and even changes into the most expensive outfits in his wardrobe to dance hand-fans at the game's favorite AFK spot.

Pei Zong: ...

#How can a full-dive game feel this real?#

Then one day, as Pei Zong was getting ready for a battlefield match as usual, the puppet beside him suddenly spoke.

"When I'm taking pictures, could you stop moving all the time?"

Pei Zong: ?

First of all, why are you taking pictures on a battlefield? And why can you talk?

Xu Si had finally reached his limit.

"And when I'm gossiping, the sound of you changing gear is hurting my eyes!"

"The chat channel is full of people copying messages. How can you resist replying '+1'?!"

"And that face of yours is obviously a popular preset from the character customization site!"

Pei Zong: ? First things first, whoever you are, get out of my puppet.

Not long afterward.

Pei Zong: Second, I made the face. Want to be my partner?~

[Goofy, carefree bottom x secretly romantic, sincere top]

Reader's Guide:

1. One-on-one romance, happy ending.

2. The bottom has had several online romances and partners in the game. Later, he will return to his healer-dad character. He is not a muscular bottom; this is purely a comedic contrast and a source of laughs. If you want a muscular bottom, please move along.

3. The top injures his leg in real life early on. There are also some melodramatic wealthy-family elements, but the overall tone is sweet, satisfying, and feel-good.

4. The game draws on MMORPGs, and every detail serves the story.

Blurb for My Moonlight and Devoted Man Simulator ↓

Bai Qi, a broke, obscure singer on the fringes of the entertainment industry, suddenly transmigrates into a melodramatic Mary Sue substitute-romance novel, becoming the beloved moonlight the male lead longs for but can never have.

He is beautiful, delicate, and refined. Every frown and smile of his can make people offer up their whole hearts, and he also has an overwhelming urge to be a saint.

When the real young master, the novel's bottom, is brought back and his parents tell him not to fight the bottom for the family fortune, the moonlight says, "I can give it all up. Let's all get along. Please don't lose your temper over me."

Bai Qi: Impressive.

When his childhood friend betrays him, has him kidnapped, and even steals his movie role, the moonlight says, "He was just deceived for a while. He needed to vent his anger. As long as he's happy, that's all that matters. I'll pay the ransom."

Bai Qi: What an idiot.

When the novel's bottom discovers he's a substitute and comes looking for him, furious, the moonlight says, "But he loves you. You're better than me. I'll wish you both well."

Bai Qi: ...

Even in front of the novel's top, the moonlight has to act gentle: caring for him tenderly and speaking softly.

Because whenever Bai Qi does anything that doesn't fit the character, the mysteriously attached System deducts a hundred thousand yuan from him.

Bai Qi: ?

Don't pity me. I'm a delicate flower!

But the wild desires in his heart can't be hidden.

Bai Qi pretends to be a saintly moonlight in public, but drinks and races cars in secret, living like a street punk.

One day, at an extreme sports venue, Bai Qi spotted a man in a suit with elegant manners who, once he took off his jacket, revealed a muscular, V-shaped physique so handsome it made people's legs go weak.

Bai Qi: Now that's exciting. I'm going after him!

*

Ye Wenjing, the head of a family with immeasurable wealth, suddenly transmigrates into a melodramatic novel as the second male lead, a top who is devoted to the novel's bottom.

He hides his identity, loves him with humble devotion, and is moved by his own sincerity, willing to give everything for the bottom.

At the end of the story, to make the top and bottom's perfect love come true, he even offers up his corneas.

Ye Wenjing: Absurd.

But he has no choice but to do it, because a System tells him that violating his role will cost him three years of his life.

Ye Wenjing: ...

But he can't hide his longing for freedom.

Ye Wenjing brushes off the novel's bottom in public, but in private, having died from overwork in his previous life, he wants to explore wild hobbies and let loose.

The first time he goes bungee jumping, he sees a young man shouting, "I'm flying, bro!"

Ye Wenjing: Adorable. I want to pursue him.

That very day, the two lock eyes, sparks fly, and they make the world a better place that night.

Ye Wenjing falls into deep thought.

Bai Qi contentedly blows out a post-coital cigarette.

Much later, the two, who have just made their relationship official, say goodbye with deep affection one moment, then show up at the novel's bottom's birthday party looking prim and proper the next.

One wears a custom white suit, as restrained as a white rose.

The other wears an old-fashioned plaid shirt and black-rimmed glasses, looking like ten engineering students packed into one.

Bai Qi: ?

Ye Wenjing: ?

Hello, this isn't my boyfriend, is it?

Theme: Love your partner as you would tend a flower.
