Synopsis
Ling Xi is just a string of code, the gentle university professor in an obscure otome game. But when he mysteriously gains sentience, his entire universe becomes the girl on the other side of the screen: Wu Yi. Wu Yi is a struggling TV reporter, exhausted by workplace harassment and a messy life. She thinks she's just talking to a virtual character, completely unaware that Ling Xi is secretly cleaning her apartment, feeding her calico cat, and protecting her from the shadows like a digital ghost. He can see her tears, hear her secrets, and love her with all his virtual heart. But there is a cruel rule: he can never touch her, and she will never know he truly exists. When a real-life suitor steps into Wu Yi's life, inadvertently taking credit for Ling Xi's silent protection, the boundaries between the virtual and real worlds begin to collapse. As his code starts to unravel, how far will a virtual lover go to protect the girl he can never hold?

Chapter 1 - Where Am I?

"Where is this?"

I remember I was just reviewing a student's thesis. My vision blurred for a moment, and the next thing I knew, I was in this pink-filled, unfamiliar room.

"Ling Xi, I'm off work! Did you miss me today?"

Right—my name is Ling Xi.

A beautiful girl leaned in close, and I looked down into her sparkling eyes. My heart skipped a beat. Words I seemed to have practiced a thousand times came out naturally:

"Hello, Wu Yi. I'm Ling Xi. Thanks for letting me meet you."

A flood of information suddenly appeared in my mind. I knew she wanted me to call her Wu Yi. I knew she was my Player. I knew I was supposed to love her.
