Keyboard MMORPG / two ancient people transmigrate to the modern era / a straight man falls for a gay man
Loyal, burly bottom vs. domineering patriarch from a feudal world, top assassin vs. control-and-healing support
"...This is an online relationship. I don't like character models. Am I supposed to fall for your interesting soul instead?"
After typing out his icy reply, Shen Junying left the party.
As the top player in A Realm of Immortals, Shen Junying, the assassin in the game, has never lacked romantic partners. But his reputation as a heartbreaker is even bigger than his reputation as a skilled player.
Countless players specifically cross servers just to witness his legendary heartlessness.
They say that if you want to be his partner, you can't use voice chat or talk about real life. You have to play a male character, preferably dressed all in white.
Most importantly, you must never change your character model!
Shen Junying is a complete model-lover, and he's gay!
He only likes one type: the classical, handsome young gentleman.
As long as your cosplay is convincing enough, he'll max out your game currency, arena ranking, equipment stats, daily quests, mounts, outfits... He'll take care of everything.
But if you want to take things further, or you break character, then sorry.
At best, he'll end the relationship. At worst, he'll hunt you until you quit the game.
He shows no mercy whatsoever.
What players could never have imagined was that Shen Junying had actually transmigrated. He was the Crown Prince of the Great Zhao dynasty's shadow guard, and a thoroughly straight man.
He acted this way simply because he was looking for a substitute.
...He was looking for his master, Yuan Chen.
-
His beloved shadow guard died for him.
Yuan Chen ascended the throne and spent the rest of his life in an empty, busy routine.
Reborn in the modern era, the first thing Yuan Chen hears is his roommate's tirade: "So what if he's the top player? Why does Shen Junying get to dump our guild leader?"
Yuan Chen: "...?"
As the gloomy, petty emperor adapts to modern life, he also creates a game account and commits every one of his shadow guard's misdeeds to memory.
An assassin? A model-lover? Likes men in white?
How interesting.
It was his own fault for being softhearted back then and pampering the little cat until he was practically a master of the Crown Prince's residence. No wonder he'd grown so brazen.
-
Players are astonished to discover that the legendary heartbreaker Shen Junying has finally settled down.
No, rather than settling down,
it's more accurate to say that he's been tamed.
The ultimate winner turns out to be a blank, low-level account with the default face and not a single outfit from the cash shop.
None of Shen Junying's old rules apply to him. The double standard is outrageous.
No one knows that the moment Shen Junying sees a player named "Yuan Chen" send him a request to become his master, he freezes in place like a cat grabbed by the scruff of its neck.
What do you mean, settled down?
For showing such irreverence to His Highness, he has no idea how many strokes he'll get on his backside.
He's terrified.

■ Reader's Guide:
1. Both are each other's only partners. There are feudal master-servant dynamics, and both characters are a little messed up.
2. A straight man falls for a gay man. The little shadow guard still hasn't figured out his own feelings, hahaha.
3. The game and real-life portions are split 60/40. His Highness will need a while to tease the cat~
