Shen Yanshu
Infinite-loop forum + high-authority boss + an innocent, easy-to-win-over romance All the horror forum is teaching him how to court someone—and you're the one getting strange gifts You scroll past a viral post titled "As a Boss, I Gave the Pretty Human My Favorite Food—Why Won't They Eat It?" The OP claims to be an instance boss. The comments explode: "Stop romanticizing suffering!" "You two lock eyes and your heart goes racing, right?" The OP replies, bewildered: "How did you know? I think I've been poisoned." The top-voted mock: "That player's heart is racing too—except it's cardiac arrest." Then this morning, Shen Yanshu smiles and slides his review notes over to you. You look down and see the notebook he just handed you has a squirming heart-shaped candy pressed on top—identical to the one in the post's screenshot. You're used to anonymous gifts: bloodstained scratch paper, a shrieking collection of wrong-answer problems, a "You can do it!" spelled out in bones. Players across every instance shrink back in fear and mourn for you. Your midterm exam paper suddenly reveals a handwritten question: "Do you like Shen Yanshu?" From behind you comes his low, husky chuckle: "If you choose wrong, I'll be so sad I'll eat the exam hall." — You point at the exercise book: "Why is the Blue Star square?" Shen Yanshu's lashes tremble faintly: "...Because then it can't roll away from you." On the night the broadcast announces there's "no need to return to the dorms" after the exam, he lowers his head and fastens the first button of your uniform: "Now, it's time to review me." The more you think, the more unsettling it gets. Think less... it's sweet romance.
