Qi Ming lived on a remote and dilapidated minor planet. He was an orphan and a Beta, a gender destined to lack pheromones. Despite these circumstances, he lived an exceptionally carefree life and never worried about finances. This lifestyle was made possible by the launch of a hyper-realistic life-simulation game.
In this game, players are not bound by gender identity or chronological eras. They can freely choose the world they wish to experience. Qi Ming chose to become a professional Game Companion, specifically following the “Romance Routes.”
Due to his physique and face, which rivaled those of a top-tier Alpha, combined with his superb acting skills, Qi Ming’s career as a companion flourished. He eventually rose to the top three of the rankings, and his fees per commission reached staggering figures.
To protect the rights of the companions, the game automatically blurs the client’s memory regarding the companion’s name and appearance once a world is completed. The clients only retain the emotional experience of the romance. Because of this, even though Qi Ming became the “Dead First Love” in many simulated worlds, he was never afraid of clients seeking him out in reality. At least, that was his original assumption.
While enjoying the money he earned from his clients, Qi Ming spent his time at a bar, relaxing with beauties on either side of him. In an instant, he was surrounded by a group of people comprising Alphas, Betas, and Omegas. He set down his glass, his left hand still resting lazily on his new target’s waist, and languidly lifted his eyelids. His dark green phoenix eyes were cold and ruthless as he spoke: “This spot is occupied. Are you blind?”
The leader of the group, an Alpha in a military uniform, had bloodshot eyes. His voice was hoarse as he pleaded: “Qi Ming, please do not leave me, alright?”
Qi Ming’s internal reaction was immediate: Who are you?
Later, Qi Ming demanded to know the location of the game’s customer service because he wanted to file a formal complaint. Why were the powerful elites of the high-tier planets traveling to his desolate little world? Had they not forgotten him?
“I am sorry, but you have the wrong person,” Qi Ming said, adopting a policy of absolute denial. He claimed he was merely an ordinary red-haired Beta, noting that his avatar in the game always had black hair.
However, in that dimly lit bar, they recognized him with a single glance. Even without a clear memory of his name or face, his tall and elegant silhouette had been carved into their very flesh and blood. He was engraved in their hearts and etched in their bones, making him impossible to forget.
Qi Ming found it strange that the clients of other companions were also seeking him out. He eventually decided that if they had not paid their fees, they should leave his sight immediately.
One-sentence Summary: An irresistible, heartthrob protagonist only wishes to be a professional game companion.
Core Intent: To learn the art of loving and being loved, and to embrace one another passionately within the limited time we are given.
