On the day the game Floating Life added its marriage system, a major bug trapped all online players inside the game.
Yu Nian was one of the unlucky players, and he got hit by an even worse bug: all his money and equipment were frozen!
Overnight, he went from being the weakest player in the top ten to a penniless, powerless nobody who could barely survive.
As if that weren't bad enough, a matchmaking system appeared and demanded that he complete quests to unfreeze his account and inventory.
Quest 1: Propose to someone and get rejected.
Yu Nian proposed to the strongest player on the entire server.
When he saw the words "Accepted," Yu Nian panicked and fled in the middle of the night, only to get caught.
The whole world was talking about the grand wedding, but one of the grooms had run away.
Not only had he fled, he had also ended the partnership and sent a proposal to a spectator who was watching the drama unfold...
Yu Nian watched his account unfreeze after completing the quest, secretly thrilled as he dodged the top player's attempts to kill him.
Then came Quest 2: Marry the strongest player on this server.
Yu Nian: What? Are you messing with me?
He decided to help the second-ranked player climb to the top...
But the second-ranked player betrayed him.
Seeing the top player's inscrutable expression in the backlight, Yu Nian shut his eyes, gritted his teeth, and pulled out a proposal ring.
Once again, the whole world marveled at this wedding.
Quest 3: Get divorced.
Yu Nian: Go to hell, you XXXX!
Later, everyone said the top player and his beloved spouse were so devoted to each other that they made everyone else jealous.
Yeah, right. It was all fake.
Yu Nian fled with his inventory, and before leaving, he stood beneath the Three Lives Tree and submitted the divorce letter.
A chime rang out in the server-wide announcements. From then on, they would part ways and forget each other in the rivers and lakes.
Yu Nian went incognito, living off his savings and waiting to die. But when he joined the next dungeon to heal someone, he was recognized at a glance.
The man in black trapped him with a spell and leaned in to bite his neck. "Are you going to run again?"
Yu Nian: ???
Later, another familiar marriage announcement appeared in the System channel.
The whole server, gathered to watch the drama: How many times are you two going to get married, for crying out loud?!
Reader's guide:
1. Aloof, scheming top x a beauty who doesn't realize how flirtatious he is. One-on-one.
2. Nonsensical, slapstick online gaming, a fluffy little romance with no logic.
3. Includes arena battles, dungeons, and other gameplay. Has an old-school online game feel, but shouldn't be too long.
