After the Whole Server Hunted Me Down in an Online Game

Ji Yanci has been wronged beyond belief.

She just got a rare material drop in the game when she was suddenly attacked for no reason.

Her private messages are flooded with insults, accusing her of being a shameless homewrecker and trying to steal someone else's expensive outfit.

Heaven knows that's not true!

She's never been married to anyone in the game, and she's never even flirted with anyone!

Just as she is at her wits' end from being hunted, a passerby in plain gray clothes happens upon her and comes to her rescue.

He even offers to take her as his apprentice.

It'd be foolish not to take advantage of this chance to cling to a powerful ally!

Her master is a skilled player and treats her wonderfully. Ji Yanci quietly falls for him, but just as she's getting ready to confess, she discovers that her master is a once-famous top player!

Rumor has it the top player quit because he got married in real life.

What a close call. She almost got mistaken for a homewrecker again!

Ji Yanci sells her account and flees in disgrace.

Jueyi was once a famous top player on the server. After years away, he returns wanting nothing more than to be an ordinary player.

On his way to a dungeon, he comes across a passerby being ganged up on and can't stand by without helping.

The passerby knows how to earn all sorts of achievements, making her perfect for a casual player like him. But to maintain his cool image, he takes her on as his apprentice instead.

His new apprentice is too cute, and even he, once scornful of online romance, can't help falling for her.

Just as he's about to confess to his apprentice, she quits the game.

Wait, where did his apprentice go?

One day, when Ji Yanci quietly returns on an alternate account, she learns the shocking truth: the top player's marriage was a rumor, but his rejection of online romance was real!

Jueyi figured out long ago that the alternate account belongs to his adorable apprentice. This time, he absolutely won't let her get away!
