In WD333, a Blue Star company developed an ultra-full-dive game called The Carnival Dungeon, marketed as a chance to experience a different life.

By WD334, it had become the most active and most valuable game on the market, and was quietly setting the industry standard.

Its competitors were green with envy, so they sent someone to tamper with the game data under cover of night.

Who could have guessed that this would awaken the NPCs? They all became free beings in an alternate space, no longer controlled by data, with thoughts, likes and dislikes, and desires of their own.

"So you really did get it on with the awakened Lin Ji?" Zhou Leyou listened to his good friend's story and couldn't even squeeze out a smile.

There was only one reason: jealousy. As the self-proclaimed boyfriend of the NPC Lin Ji, he'd been dreaming about her since launch. Once his urge to claim the official-partner spot kicked in, he naturally couldn't stand his friend showing up as the "other man."

The person across from him had no idea he was jealous. "Do you think she'll agree to take me in? I saw on the forum that..."

His friend was still breathing, still provoking him... Zhou Leyou could no longer stay calm. After denouncing his friend's shameless intentions, he jumped straight into the game.

[I can be used by you too.] He nervously messaged Lin Ji.

[Go to the forum and enter the contest.] She replied instantly.

What contest?

He quickly opened the forum and saw the most popular post, titled [Compete to Become Lin Ji's Pet], right there in plain sight.

Who else could win that contest but him?

Zhou Leyou quickly typed up his personal details, attached a photo, and thoughtfully sent Lin Ji a shirtless version in a private message.

Then he highlighted the words [No Sharing Dreams] on his profile.

Author's Note: 1. Female-led romance with no fixed male lead, only male supporting characters.

2. The forum is downright hostile to the male supporting characters (?). Please don't read if that bothers you.

3. A female character will have an unrequited crush on the female lead.
