The Painter and the Young Lady

In the future of a parallel world, Jiang Chen is invited by a friend to write short stories for a website. Just as he comes up with an idea, work sends him to try out a virtual game called People in the Shadows, where he must save Yang Yan, a peerless beauty who was killed by an accidental explosion in the game. After entering the game, Jiang Chen watches Yang Yan star in the grand theatrical production The Death of Yang Fei and gets to know her, while continuing to develop his story and tell it to her. Unexpectedly, the game and the story begin to take a turn he cannot control.
